About

David Douillet Judo is a judo-focused sports game featuring former Olympic champion David Douillet. Players can compete in single matches, tournaments, and training modes using a roster of international judoka. The gameplay emphasizes throws, holds, and counters with a control scheme built around timing and positional advantage rather than fast-paced combos. Matches follow standard judo rules and scoring (ippon, waza-ari, etc.), and the presentation includes realistic arenas, commentator-style feedback, and career-style progression for improving a fighter’s skills.
