Rolling the joystick in hcf motions, for example, need to be precise to execute your special moves. =============================================================================== 2. System =============================================================================== ++++++++++++++ | 2.1 Basics | ++++++++++++++ Block High b Block Low db Block To Counter hold P, then release more details in section 2.2 Dodge hold P, ub dodges attacks Crawl hold df Crawl Backwards hold db Get Up From Knockdown shake joystick and tap buttons rapidly +++++++++++++++++++++++++ | 2.2 Block To Counter | +++++++++++++++++++++++++ A unique feature in this game is that you can hold any punch to block. While holding P you can move the joystick around to adjust your block. Holding b/u/uf/f with P will block high. Holding db/d/df with P will block low. Moving the joystick will also allow you to move while blocking. Holding b with P will retreat and block. Holding u or neutral will block while stationary. Holding f/uf with P will walk forward and block. Holding db with P will back crawl and block. Holding d with P will crouch and block. Finally, holding df with P will crawl forward and block. A notable difference between this type of block and the normal block is that when the punch button is released your character will immediately throw out an attack. The attack is determined by the punch button being held and the direction of the joystick at the time of release. For example, holding LP with Shouichi and releasing it while the joystick is in the neutral position will have him throw his Quick Jab attack. Releasing LP while holding d will have Shouichi throw out his Crouching Hook attack. Special Moves can also be executed this way (ala a type of Negative Edge). For example, while using Shouichi hold MP to block, qcf, then release MP to throw out your Stardust Upper special. While you holding P you can also activate a dodge maneuver. This is done by pressing ub. This will allow you to avoid attacks. Use this to dodge attacks quickly and allow for a bigger window to counter attack your opponent. ++++++++++++++ | 2.3 Meters | ++++++++++++++ There are two meters in this game. The top meter is your lifebar. The meter below that is your knockdown bar. Attacks can drain both meters with some attacks draining them even on block. If you deplete your opponent's lifebar completely anytime during the 3 round bout then the opponent will be KOed and you will win the match. The knockdown bar is split into 3 sections. The first section is green, the middle section is yellow, and the last section is red. When the green or yellow section of the knockdown bar is depleted the character will go down for the count. To get back up you must shake the joystick and tap the buttons rapidly. If they are unable to get up before the count of 10 the character will lose the match. If the red section of the knockdown bar is depleted the character will go down and lose the match by TKO. If after 3 rounds neither character has lost by the above methods the game will pick a winner using points earned during each round. =============================================================================== 3.
