When standing close to your opponent,
pressing the light punch and light kick
buttons simultaneously allows you to
throw your opponent. You can change
the direction you throw the opponent
by pressing the left or right directional
buttons. You can prevent yourself from
being thrown by pressing light punch
and light kick together when your
opponent begins to throw you. This is
called a "throw escape."
* Some characters can also perform
a throw when jumping (aerial throw),
or special move throws (command
throws). Throw escapes cannot be
performed against aerial or command
throws.
When your opponent's attacks have
knocked your character to the ground, you
can press the down directional button twice
or any two attack buttons simultaneously
the instant that you hit the dirt to perform
a quick recovery. A successful recovery will
reduce the amount of time spent prone on
the ground and make it easier to respond to
the next incoming attack.
* Some attacks, such as throws, do not
allow a recovery to be performed after
them.
While standing, you can press the heavy punch and heavy kick buttons
together to make your character perform a personal action and taunt your
opponent. This action in and of itself has no special properties.
PERFORMING A FOCUS ATTACK
HYPER ARMOR DURING A FOCUS ATTACK
Press and hold the Medium Punch and Medium Kick buttons together to charge
up a Focus Attack. To perform a full strength Focus Attack, hold the buttons until
the attack is unleashed automatically. If you release the buttons while charging,
the Focus Attack will come out sooner, but weaker.
You can absorb up to
one enemy attack in the
time between pressing
the Medium Punch /
Medium Kick buttons
and the Focus Attack
being performed. You can
then go on to counter by
performing the attack.
Medium
Absorb an opponent's attack and, rather than take direct damage, a section
of your vitality gauge will change color, and will regenerate over time.
This damage will recover as time passes, but if you are hit again before it
finishes recovering, the remaining section will vanish and can no longer be
recovered.
