With the release of Crownfall Act 3 into Dota 2, Valve decided they would add a mini fighting game that allows you to beat-up some of the heroes of the Dota 2 universe with Sleet Fighter II: Immortal Combat. With five characters to chose from, native controller support, a surprisingly deep moves list, and a solid if slightly quick story/arcade mode, it’s a great little minigame.
The game is a parody of Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat, but also might be follow up to 2013 lost media Street Dota 2, a fighting game made in the Dota engine.
Here’s a full guide to the surprise game mode.

All you need to do to unlock Sleet Fighter II is accept the first free token in Crownfall Act III and then select the left destination and talk to Tusk. This will put you in a tutorial battle with Bristleback before fully unlocking Sleet Fighter II
All you need to do to play the game mode on full screen is click the little button on the top left corner as show in the screenshot below. Enjoy some fullscreen shenanigans!

Below we’ve copied the movesets of all the heroes in Sleet Fighter II. This way you won’t need to pause to check out your moves. Also, there are a number of “hidden” moves, tied to combos. For instance, Tusk will unleash his Walrus Kick after landing two neutral jabs, and his Walrus Punch after landing multiple long range attacks.

Your controller should automatically work with Sleet Fighter II but you may have to manually configure it. We’ve found issues if your base control set up for Dota 2 isn’t based on the “Arrows” pre-set, which is the default control setup. Once changing this, our controller was able to read the space bar as A and Alt as B on an Xbox controller.
Hey, and if you get used to it, maybe you can start using controller support for Dota 2 all the time!

Sleet Fighter II has five random potential tokens to unlock, plus a Pixel Tusk showcase decoration to unlock. To unlock these, you’ll need to beat the story mode with enough points. Points are earned both by winning and using “Style.”
To get more “Style” in your victories, you’ll need to counter moves, use specials, combos, and perfect your opponent. Just beating all the opponents will net you around 30,000-32,000 points, but to unlock all the tokens, you’ll need at least some stylish victories.
We found the easiest way to do this was with Marci. Marci has her “Unleashed” form, where she unlocks additional attacks, and these seemed to offer more style points, although we were also landing counters as well. Good luck!
