BONUS MESSAGES
The following messages will appear on the screen when certain
conditions are fulfilled.
Displayed after performing a successful quick standing
recovery or throw escape.
Displayed after performing a special move, Super Combo
or Ultra Combo in the specific situations described below.
Perform a reversal with a beat down attack and it will take
on Armor Break properties, nullifying Hyper Armor. (Please
refer to P.13)
• In the instant you can move again after recovering from
taking damage, blocking or being stunned.
• In the instant after performing a recovery or getting up
from being knocked over.
• In the instant you land after being sent ying backward but
not actually knocked to the ground.
A counter hit occurs when you interrupt an opponent’s
attack with one of your own. Your opponent will take
longer to recover from the damage caused by a Counter
Hit, making it possible to perform combinations that are
otherwise impossible.
Pushing the D-pad away from
your opponent allows you to
block their attacks. You can
block high (standing) and low
(crouching) attacks. High and
low blocks can block specific
attacks, but not every attack.
You will need to carefully and
quickly swap between them
to block all incoming attacks.
You cannot block while in
the air.
Press the D-pad twice quickly
forward to perform a forward dash,
or backward twice to perform a
backward dash. Dashing allows
you to quickly close the distance
between you and your opponent,
or to fall back and reassess the
situation.
If you keep getting pummeled, you
will eventually become stunned. While
stunned, you cannot do anything. Your
only hope is to press the D-pad and other
buttons as fast as you can to recover
from the stun faster.
Inputting a specific combination of directional and attack buttons allows
you to perform a special move. Even if your opponent blocks a special
move, they will still take a small amount of damage. Inputting the
command for a special move during certain normal moves allows you
to cut short, or “cancel,” the normal move and quickly go straight into
performing the special move. Using cancelling skillfully is one way to
create damaging combinations.
All of the controls shown in the basic controls section are for when
your character is facing the right. When facing the left, all left/right
controls should be reversed.
Press the punch or kick buttons to perform normal moves. The actual
attack performed depends on the position of your character and the
button pressed.
