CoffeewithGames.Blogspot.com shows a fight from Rage of the Gladiator where a "Rank: S" is attained.
CwG discusses other details about Rage of the Gladiator and the video, saying in one section, "You may not have noticed, but the different special attacks actually do different amounts of damage to Tagon.
The further down the skill tree the attack is, the more damage it will do.
The Ancient Tornado is the third level down in the Magic branch, while the Aerial Assualt is on the first level of the Offense branch."
Rage of the Gladiator has you beating Greek mythology foes in sort of a Punch-Out style, except with magic.
NWR - "Rage of the Gladiator was one of the best hidden gems from WiiWare. A Punch-Out style fighter with various characters influenced by Roman mythology sounds like a match made in Heaven, and thankfully, it was! Now after three years, the game finally makes its way to the 3DS. While I do miss the really cool MotionPlus controls from the original release, the game still manages to be fun and charming in its own right."

"When I decided to take a chance and review Rage of the Gladiator, I truly had no idea what to expect. A lot of interesting games hit the eShop, and it is often difficult to tell from just a cursory glance whether or not they are worth your money. Upon booting up the game, I was pleasantly surprised to find it to be very similar to the classic Punch-Out!!, except with medieval monstrosities as foes, and a pronounced focus on Greek mythology. Developed and published by Gamelion Studios and Ghostfire Games, it was originally released back in 2010 for the Wii Virtual Console to high acclaim. Now available three years later for iOS, Android and 3DS, was it worth reviving or should it have died in the arena?"
Has anybody else completed the "Challenge Mode" in Rage of the Gladiator?

Those were only two special attacks, there game has 31 portions of the skill tree than can be filled, but not all 31 are combo attacks like the ones in the video. Some are defensive awareness increase, like increasing the chances you will automatically block an incoming attack.
@hardcorez:
The game-play is extremely well done in the game.
As I said in the article portion, I'm playing through the game again, using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controls now.
