Doomsday Warrior, known in Japan as Taiketsu!! Brass Numbers (対決！！ブラスナンバーズ lit. "Confrontation!! Brass Numbers"), is a 1992 Super NES fighting game developed and published by Telenet Japan's subsidiary Laser Soft in Japan on November 20, 1992 and later localized by Renovation Products in North America in March 1993. It was created during the fighting game trend of the 1990s that was popularized by Capcom's Street Fighter II.
Gameplay
You play as a member of the Doom Squad, a group of fighters who are under the influence of Main, a diabolical sorceress (vengeful angel in Japan). The character you choose to play as betrays the Doom Squad and battles for the people of Earth. To win, your character must fight its former comrades of the Doom Squad. You can choose which opponent to face after every battle. Ability Points are earned for winning each battle and are added to your character's current stats (Arm Power, Leg Power, Defense, Vitality, Soul Power).

Bosses
After your chosen fighter defeats the remaining Doom Squad members, that fighter then faces off against Main and her two henchmen in 3 back-to-back matches.

Main
Main (ダーゼマイン Dāzemain) is the sorceress who commands the Doom Squad and is the final boss. She flies in midair and uses lightning, fire, and light to attack, can generate a force field and shield, and wields a sword of light. After Main loses, she zooms into the sky and spares Earth and its people.
