*******************
* 2.2 Super Meter *
*******************

The Super Meter charges when you attack (normals, specials, ect.), block an
attack, or land an attack. The Super Meter can also auto charge, depending
on the game's settings. Each of the following can be performed using the
Super Meter:

Activate Super Mode LP+LK+HP+HK blast can strike opponent;
invulnerable for a second;
super mode last for about
six seconds; during this
mode you inflict more
damage and take less
damage as well
EX Moves refer to character's consumes one stock of your
movelist super meter; an advanced
or alternate version of
one of the character's
special moves
Super refer to character's consumes one stock of your
movelist super meter
Hara Hara d, d + LK+HK/LP+HP consumes one stock of your
super meter; has large
start up time and is
unblockable

********************************
* 2.3 Projectiles In This Game *
********************************

Projectiles have some very odd properties in this game. For one,
projectiles don't mutually "destroy" each other on every exchange like in most
fighters. Some projectiles will beat out others, while other times it
depends merely on the time the projectiles were released as to which one
will beat out the other. I've tried to detail the exchange properties as best
as I could in the movelist. There is, however, many different situations, so
not everything could be covered in such a short amount of space.
Another odd property is that almost all the projectiles in the game can
be absorbed/destroyed by nearly all normal attacks, specials, ect. It really
depends solely on striking the projectile with the move at the right time and
at the correct height. For example, Arina can "destroy" Rai's Inazuma Cannon
with a well timed d + HK. A standing HK from Arina, however, will not
"destroy" the projectile as it does not strike the Inazuma Cannon at the
correct height. Since nearly everything has the ability to negate projectiles,
the move description of "absorbs projectiles" is not tagged on most things in
this guide. You will find it only tagged on projectile maneuvers that win
nearly every exchange.
