Here Comes a New Challenger!
A downloadable fighting game
Here Comes a New Challenger is an homage to fighting video games like Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct, and more. You can learn it in seconds and play out a fight in a couple minutes.
This is an ultra-light system, closer to a roll-and-write game than D&D, though if there's interest I may make some extra rules for special moves/powers to spice things up!
Here Comes a New Challenger was created for the 24-word RPG Jam, hosted by W.H. Arthur, breathingstories, Steffie de Vaan, and Rook and Role.

I am slightly confused on the rules:
do I effectively need to roll each side of the dice on sequence in a turn-based race against my.opponent?
I love fighting game based systems, so I may keep this in my wallet
Oh heck I see where the confusion is there. The dice at the bottom are meant to just be decorative, but that sure does look like you're supposed to roll each number in sequence.
My intention with the rules is that you roll a number of dice equal to your strength, and every 6 is 1 damage that you do to your opponent. Your opponent can choose to lower their Strength by 1 in order to ignore 1 damage, surviving for a little longer, but losing some power.
A kind of Yahtzee-style version could be fun too; instead of trying to roll 6's, you would be trying to get 1 - 6 before your opponent, and maybe you could spend Strength to reroll your own dice? I might think about this more.
