Tips and tricks
- Special moves are best used to finish a combo or a round, not to open one.
- Spacing is a weapon. Stand just outside the opponent's reach and inside your own, and let them come to you.
- Punish, don't predict. Wait for a missed attack and hit the recovery — it is the safest damage in any fighting game.
- Watch the opponent's health bar. Players change behaviour when they are low, and the change is exploitable.
- Because this is a Hypercasual game, find the rhythm of the single mechanic — that is the entire skill.
