KENSHIRO_31_T is a five-button character, with two punches and two kicks, as well as a fifth button (in this case Ⓩ) for using boost; he also possesses a gauge for said boost and a 7 star gauge.
Most of KENSHIRO's moves are strong and hard hitting, and his comboability is superb through making use of boost. With precise timing and skill, one can pull off what were known in the source game as Basuke Combos, Hyakuretsu Combos, and Traveling Combos. The Boost Gauge has two uses: cancelling the recovery of Normal moves and Special moves, and for moving forward extremely fast. Using boost allows for doing combos that are otherwise impossible without it. The Seven Star Gauge is a gauge under the opponent's life bar consisting of 7 stars. Being hit with certain moves will deplete stars, and once the opponent's star gauge reaches 0, a shining 'death star' will appear below the normal star gauge. Enemies with zero stars become vulnerable to "Fatal K.O.s", which are Hokuto no Ken's version of instant kills. Unlike some other games such as Guilty Gear, it is possible to combo into a Fatal K.O., which makes them a very central part of the KENSHIRO's gameplay, alongside other Hokuto no Ken-styled characters.
For all of KENSHIRO's offensive prowess, he is not lacking in the defensive department either, having access to a Guard Cancel to escape attack strings, a counter move that can reflect any attack or projectile, and a Super that enables him to teleport behind his opponent and punish with a combo.
