This is a simple FAQ and move list for those new and used to the game.
Note that there will be no fancy graphics or ASCII works of art, just info.
BASIC ATTACKS

LK= Light Kick HK= Heavy Kick (Sets up air combos.)

Basic Combo Theory

3. Heavy Attack
4. Direction of Joystick + Heavy Attack (This includes launchers) or Special
Move
5. Special Move or Burning Vigor Attack(Some Characters can do their launcher
in this step after pressing Forward +Heavy Attack in the previous one.)
Tardy Counters
Tardy Counters are nothing more than blocking and doing another attack
while in mid-block animation.
Defensive Fall
While falling, press either any two punches or kicks or Motion B,DB,D,HP or HK
Throws and Sidestepping
You must be next to an opponent to throw
To throw press LP+HP
To throw a crouching opponent press D+LP+HP
To air throw while in the air press LP+HP
To Sidestep press LK+HK
To Sidestep the other way press D+LK+HK
Team-up Attack
To do a team up attack, you must:
1. Have two levels on your Burning Vigor bar (you can tell if you can do a
team up attack by seeing you partner's portrait next to your B.V. bar.)
2. press the LP+LK or HP+HK buttons.
Team-up attacks vary from person to person. (Note: the team-up attacks I
list will occur only if the character is your inactive one.)
