Player Notes

Start with one fighter long enough to learn safe attacks and recovery time.

• 1. Master the Controls: Use arrow keys or WASD for movement. On PlayStation, press Z to punch and X to kick by default, with additional buttons for stronger attacks (Heavy Punch and Kick). Use Z (or Space on PC as a substitute for the up arrow) to jump, and hold Z (or Space again for other jump types, like a super jump after moving Up) to rise into the air.
• 2. Choose and Tag In: Pick a duo at character select and during battle, tap Down + all two punch/kick buttons (typically a combination like Z/X) to switch partners, extending combos and healing the tagged-out character. Use energy built from attacks to perform Hyper Combos with quarter-circle motion and button presses (e.g., forward, quarter-circle forward + Z+X).
• 3. Unleash Epic Supers: After filling your Hyper Combo Meter, execute an Overdrive Cancel by pressing two punches and two kicks simultaneously to freeze the screen and switch with a temporary power boost. Aim for screen-clearing finishers to claim ultimate victory.
