How to play
The core objective is to defeat your opponent's team of three fighters in one-on-one matches. You control a single character at a time, using a combination of light and heavy punches and kicks for basic attacks. The key to success is mastering special moves, performed with specific joystick motions and button combinations, and powerful Desperation Moves which can be executed when your health is low. A major new mechanic is the Emergency Evasion roll, performed by tapping forward or backward twice, allowing you to quickly dodge attacks and create openings for a counter-offensive. In the early moments, focus on learning your character's basic attacks and a reliable special move. As the match progresses, manage your team's health and build meter for super moves. During tense moments, a well-timed dodge or a perfectly landed Desperation Move can turn the tide of battle.
