**************
* 2.1 Basics *
**************

Throw b/n/f + LP/HP/LK/HK connects close; exact motion
and the type of throw is
listed in each character's
movelist

Block High b
Block Low db will not block overheads

Dizzy Recovery shake joystick and tap
P and K rapidly
after being dizzied

Multiple Air Normals - You can use multiple air normals during a single jump.
As long as you press another attack button after the
previous animation is finished you will produce another
air normal.
Finishers - After defeating your opponent on the deciding round they
will be dizzied and you are able to perform a finishing
attack. Simply press any attack button to perform one
of your (random?) finishers.

********************
* 2.2 Spirit Meter *
********************

Underneath your lifebar is a meter. This meter builds any time an attack
connects (blocked or not). The meter has four sections which are Purple, Blue,
Green, and Yellow (in ascending order). The Purple section is the "normal"
range of your Spirit Meter and all normals and special moves will not have any
special abilities. As your Spirit meter fills further you will enter the other
sections. Your damage will be increased for normals and special moves in each
section. You will notice visually that your special moves have been upgraded.
Another unique ability that is added is some of your normals will now knock the
opponent off their feet or push them very far away. This can occur in
different colored sections for different maneuvers. The details of these
abilities will be in each maneuver's movelist details (marked with "knockdown"
or "pushback").
It is also worth noting that the Spirit Meter will decrease as well. The
meter slowly decreases on its own, even if you don't attack. Landing a normal
attack (blocked or not) will also decrease your meter further. Using a special
move, even if it doesn't connect, will decrease the meter sharply. So use your
attacks wisely when given the damage boost!

Note - All normals are listed in this guide as there is no set formula as to
what your character's abilities will be.
