Introduction

Eternal Fighter ZERO is a doujin 2D fighting game developed by Twilight Frontier. All the characters are taken from four dating sims/visual novels; MOON, ONE, Kanon, and AIR. Behind the cute graphics lies a very solid fighting engine.

As much as it is based off characters from dating sims and visual novels, most of the character's abilities and bits of the game's system are based off other fighting games, such as the Guilty Gear series and the King of Fighters series.

Game Screen

(picture goes here)

FPS

Displays the number of frames per second the game is currently running at. The normal value is 64.

Life Gauge (ライフゲージ)

Displays the amount of remaining life for the players 1 and 2 respectively. Once a player's life gauge is empty, they are "down" and the opponent's victory count will be incremented by 1.

Win Count (勝利カウント)

Displays the number of rounds won. Once a player's count reaches the number of wins required, that player wins the match.

RF Gauge (RFゲージ)

Displays...

SP Gauge (SPゲージ)

Displays the character's SP. The number beside the gauge and the color of the gauge represent the number of SP Levels currently available to the player. SP is gained by attacking or being attacked by the opponent, and is consumed by performing advanced moves, called Eterny Specials. Therefore, you will not be able to perform those moves if you do not have sufficient SP. Also, the maximum SP Level is 3.

... (受身不能時間)

Game Mechanics

All commands will be displayed using Numeric Notation.

Guard (ガード) [Hold 4]

Guarding prevents an opponent's attack from connecting, which either cancels or greatly reduces the damage taken. There are three types of guarding: standing guard, crouching guard, and air guard. Whether a type of guard will prevent an attack depends on the opponent's attack. However, one of the most fundamental rules regarding guarding is that an air guard will not block any normal attack of a grounded opponent.

Jump (ジャンプ) [7 or 8 or 9]

Causes the character to jump. Double-jumping is possible.

Dash (ダッシュ) and Backstep (バックステップ) [66 and 44]

A quick movement forward and backward, respectively. This move ranges widely from the character running on the ground, hopping around, or flying in the sky, but in all cases you will be unable to guard while moving. It is also possible to dash and backstep in midair, but the number of times it can be done differs from character to character.

Throw (投げ) [When next to the opponent, 4 or 6C]

Throws are good.

Air Throw (空中復帰) [When next to the opponent midair, 6C]

There is no failure animation for air throws, and a strong attack will come out instead.

Air Recovery (空中復帰) [When in recoverable state, 4 or 6 + an attack button]

Instant Charge (インスタントチャージ) [During an attack animation, 22C]

Flicker Instant Charge (フリッカーインスタントチャージ)

Reinforce Attack (レインフォース必殺技)

Recoil Guard (リコイルガード)

Recoil Counter (リコイルカウンター)

Recoil Armor (リコイルアーマー)

Recoil Armor is a property that allows a character to take a hit without receiving hit stun. When a character with Recoil Armor is hit, she will flash white and pause for a small moment, then continue to move. Recoil Armor is activated when performing certain attacks, Eterny Specials, and Final Memories.
Recoil Armor only provides protection from hit stun. Full damage will be taken from incoming attacks, and multiple hits will not be considered a combo. As a result, their damage will not be scaled.
Recoil Armor can be defeated by throws and certain attacks.

Guard Attack (ガードアタック)

A guard attack is an attack that protects the performing character from getting hit as if she is guarding. They allow characters to guard incoming attacks with another attack: the guard attack will guard the incoming hit and continue its animation after a short pause. Similarly to guarding, no damage is taken from normal attacks, guard damage is taken from special moves, and the guard visual effect and sound are shown.
Guard attacks are useful for counterattacks with the benefit that little or no damage is taken. However, a guard attack does not protect during all its animation, so using them properly requires good timing.

Eterny Special (エタニースペシャル)

An Eterny Special is a special move that requires SP gauge to be executed. There are three levels of Eterny Specials; level 1 is the weakest and level 3 is the strongest. The stronger an Eterny Special, the more SP gauge it consumes. In most cases, the level of an Eterny Special is determined by the button used to enter its command.
  • Level 1: weak attack button. Consumes one level of SP gauge.
  • Level 2: medium attack button. Consumes two levels of SP gauge.
  • Level 3: strong attack button. Consumes three levels of SP gauge.
Some Eterny Specials are level 1 no matter what button is used. On these cases, the button determines the Eterny Special's behavior and/or effect.
Eterny Specials have a time stop and flash effect that is common in fighting games. The flash effect will change with the level of the Eterny Special.

Final Memory (ファイナルメモリー)

A Final Memory is a character's last resort move. They require 3 levels of SP gauge and the character's life gauge should be at 33% or less (flashing red). The time stop and flash of a Final Memory are the same as a level 3 Eterny Special.
Final Memories are also called hidden supers because their commands were not shown in the user's manual. They were printed for the first time in the Eternal Fighter ZERO –Memorial– manual.
