-4 selectable difficulties: Random, Defensive (favors low-hitting maneuvers like dodges), Offensive (favors hard-hitting maneuvers) and Balanced (a mix of Offensive when high on BP and Defensive when low on BP, also takes into account available weapons, special properties of moves and temporary extra scores or lowered scores from broken weapons)
-4 selectable CPU Speeds, that affect greatly the length of CPU vs CPU battles
-3 selectable Text Speeds, to control the scrolling text in the introductions and endings
-Pause option, to stop the CPU's movements momentarily (useful in Watch Mode)
-Profiles for every character when choosing them in 1P-only modes (like Arcade and Tournament Mode)
-2p colors when the same character is being highlighted by the two players
-For the characters that are usually asked if they want to change weapons, there are "styles", or choices you can pick to auto-answer those questions
-Quick Select option to attack as soon as you click on the move you want to use
-Blind Select option to hide the attack number you and your opponent choose
-Resize the screen to fit your screen resolution, with the pictures being enlarged accordingly (minimum size is 1000 x 700 pixels, can be edited manually in the CFG file)
-Hover over the names of your character's attacks to see a description of their effect, or if you notice a slowdown, turn off the "Show descriptions" option in the Help menu
-After each battle you fight, the configuration (music, cpu speed, styles, screen size) you're using is saved in a CFG file
-Improve your character's attack by earning XP in various modes and spending your BP's worth of experience to get a +1 damage bonus in any attack of your choice, improve all the attacks of one color to earn an extra +1 BP
-Change the files in the "config" folder to add or edit tags or teams, so that when you're playing the tournament modes, your tag or team gets the name you want to give them. You can also change each screen's BGM
-Arcade Mode: eight 1P vs CPU battles with characters of the same series, with your character's background story for an "ending" (in some cases, characters have this as an introduction, and their proper ending when you complete the game successfully). You can earn XP and you can continue if an opponent defeats you, though you can't continue if you die
-Free Battle: 1P vs CPU battle, you win XP and may improve your attacks if you defeat the enemy, you lose all your XP if your BP reaches -5
-Versus Mode: 1P vs 2P battle, no XP or improvements are used
-Tournament Mode: 1P and 15 random selected opponents vs a final boss, Aldra or Shigi. You use your improved attacks, but you don't get XP when you defeat enemies, nor you lose all XP if you're killed
-Watch Mode: a CPU vs CPU match
-True Versus: 1P vs 2P battle where XP can be gained (or lost, if you die), and as usual, you can use your upgraded moves and BP
-Team Battle Mode: a 3 vs 3 match, consisting of separated 1 vs 1 rounds, whoever wins a round recovers 30% of their original max BP and may fight the next round. You can earn XP in this mode (if you select 1p vs com)
-Drake Tournament: a team tournament like the previous one, but where you fight random teams of opponents that might include LW characters (if available), and the final boss is a 3 vs 1 fight against the Cold Drake
-Tag Battle Mode: a 2 vs 2 battle, where after a defensive maneuver, you have the chance to switch between your characters, or to call the partner to use a Red, Blue or Black maneuver this turn (the pages where these "tag out" and "tag attack" choices are available differ between characters). In the cases where a forced switch occurs (the turn after a tag attack, or when one of the characters is K.O.'d), a pausable pop-up appears for a while to let you see the previous attacks' outcome.
The characters that don't have (P) and (P*) restrictions in their books get the "standard": tag out available after jumping back or when behind opponent, tag attack available after dodging or ducking.
Also, when switching, the partner appears at the same page the other character was, but even if they appear at a score page or a page that asks them to disarm or lose or gain BP, that doesn't mean they were scored upon as well, nor are they affected by that restriction
-Multiplayer Battle: a fight where one character fights 2 or 3 opponents at the same time, and each "simultaneous battle" is depicted in a different "field", with a button to change between those (for example, if it's Leina vs Melona and Airi, the first "field" will depict Leina vs Melona, and the second one, Leina vs Airi).
The Multiplayer Battle mode isn't 100% complete yet
-Training Mode: a 1p vs Com single battle, where you don't earn XP if you win, you don't lose all your XP if you die, and where the characters' upgrades aren't used
-Online Match: a 1p vs 2p battle with both players in different computers, connected through the same LAN or through the Internet. You can use whichever port you want to connect, but your opponent's listen port must be the same as your send port, or else it won't work.
In the online matches, you only control the 1p side of the screen, and since there's "blind select", you can't know the character or the move the opponent has selected until you select your own
-Ranking: if you die and lose all your XP, you can enter your name on the ranking if your XP was high enough, only in single player modes
-Data Mode: if you've gained experience points from battles, this mode will let you view your stats and use your points to keep on improving your characters
-Story Mode: follow each character's own story through 5 battles (plus an extra one as an alternate ending, depending on what you choose after the 4th one). You can save and load your progress, and you gain XP and may improve your character after the battles (being killed erases all XP progress as always), though you're forced to play in "Balanced" difficulty in this mode
-Replays: after a battle is over, you can save the previous battle in one of the 10 slots that are saved into files from the "replays" folder, so that you can watch it whenever you want
-Tutorial Mode: learn the standard moves of each character, and what each of them is useful against, in these basic 30 trials. After those, you can try 230 advanced ones for all the QB cast, delving in their individual styles
