Sai Combat is a one-on-one fighting game. The sais in the game don't refer to the stabbing weapons but rather long wooden poles.[3][4] The player has to defeat eight opponents before becoming the Sai Master. In order to win a fight, the opponent has to be knocked down three times. The game includes a two-player multiplayer mode.[1]
