qcb - quarter circle back (d, db, b)
hcf - half circle forward (b, db, d, df, f)
hcb - half circle back (f, df, d, db, b)

*NOTE*
Motions in this game are very tight compared to most games. Rolling the
joystick in hcf motions, for example, need to be precise to execute your
special moves.

| 2.2 Block To Counter |
+++++++++++++++++++++++++

A unique feature in this game is that you can hold any punch to block. While
holding P you can move the joystick around to adjust your block. Holding
b/u/uf/f with P will block high. Holding db/d/df with P will block low.
Moving the joystick will also allow you to move while blocking. Holding b with
P will retreat and block. Holding u or neutral will block while stationary.
Holding f/uf with P will walk forward and block. Holding db with P will back
crawl and block. Holding d with P will crouch and block. Finally, holding df
with P will crawl forward and block.
A notable difference between this type of block and the normal block is that
when the punch button is released your character will immediately throw out an
attack. The attack is determined by the punch button being held and the
direction of the joystick at the time of release. For example, holding LP with
Shouichi and releasing it while the joystick is in the neutral position will
have him throw his Quick Jab attack. Releasing LP while holding d will have
Shouichi throw out his Crouching Hook attack. Special Moves can also be
executed this way (ala a type of Negative Edge). For example, while using
Shouichi hold MP to block, qcf, then release MP to throw out your Stardust
Upper special.
While you holding P you can also activate a dodge maneuver. This is done by
pressing ub. This will allow you to avoid attacks. Use this to dodge attacks
quickly and allow for a bigger window to counter attack your opponent.

++++++++++++++
| 2.3 Meters |
++++++++++++++

There are two meters in this game. The top meter is your lifebar. The meter
below that is your knockdown bar. Attacks can drain both meters with some
attacks draining them even on block.
If you deplete your opponent's lifebar completely anytime during the 3 round
bout then the opponent will be KOed and you will win the match.
The knockdown bar is split into 3 sections. The first section is green, the
middle section is yellow, and the last section is red. When the green or
yellow section of the knockdown bar is depleted the character will go down for
the count. To get back up you must shake the joystick and tap the buttons
rapidly. If they are unable to get up before the count of 10 the character
will lose the match. If the red section of the knockdown bar is depleted the
character will go down and lose the match by TKO.
If after 3 rounds neither character has lost by the above methods the game
will pick a winner using points earned during each round.
