About WORLD HEROES PERFECT
WORLD HEROES PERFECT, the 1995 arcade fighting classic, arrives on Steam preserving its original graphics and core gameplay. The release adds a Practice Mode, online battles with rollback netcode, and a new Hero Gauge that enhances special attacks.
All 19 fighters—including hidden boss Zeus and secret characters Son Goku, NEO‑DIO, and others—are playable. The title supports solo play, local split‑screen, and online PvP with tournament options.
01 / THE GUIDE
Practice Mode
Practice Mode includes speed adjustment, letting players slow down or speed up time while training combos. This lets you isolate each input and verify timing before entering a live match.
The mode can stay active while you queue for online play, so you can switch from training to a match without leaving the practice environment.
- Start at a slower speed to break down complex combos.
- Keep the mode running as a standby when you plan to join an online lobby.

Hero Gauge and Extra Attacks
A Hero Gauge fills during combat; when full it enables enhanced versions of Special Moves and Desperation Attacks. Each character also has unique Extra Attacks and guard‑crushing moves as new strategic options.
Timing the gauge fill and choosing the right enhanced attack adds a layer of decision‑making, rewarding players who can manage the gauge while maintaining offensive pressure.
- Watch the gauge bar closely to plan when to trigger enhanced moves.
- Compare different characters' Extra Attacks to see which fits your preferred style.

Online Play with Rollback Netcode
Rollback netcode is fully implemented, providing stable and responsive online battles. Lobbies can host up to nine players, and hidden characters can be toggled before matchmaking, ensuring all 19 fighters are available.
The netcode reduces perceived latency, aiming to make remote matches feel as close as possible to local play, which is important for timing‑heavy fighting games.
- Test a small lobby first to confirm connection stability.
- Enable hidden characters before entering matchmaking to avoid mid‑match surprises.

Tournament Mode
Tournament mode offers three bracket styles: single elimination, double elimination, and round robin. This lets organizers choose a format that matches the time available and the desired level of forgiveness for losses.
Each format changes how many matches a player can lose before being eliminated, influencing pacing and the overall competitive experience.
- Select double elimination if you want players a second chance after a loss.
- Use round robin when you prefer every participant to face each opponent.
