Button Combinations

+: Throw

• Performs a close-range throw that cannot be blocked. Some characters can also throw while in the air. The same input is used to defend (tech) against throws (air throws cannot be teched).
  • A throw tech can also be input while crouching, but if the defending character is not already being thrown, then cr.LK will come out (resulting in a failed throw tech).

+: Focus Attack

• Begins charging an attack that has 1 hit of armor.
• The attack can be released at one of three strength levels:
  • Lv. 1 (quick/no charge) - crumples on counterhit
  • Lv. 2 (partial charge) - crumples on hit
  • Lv. 3 (full charge) - unblockable, leads to a crumple state
• The focus charge (or attack on hit/block) can be cancelled with a forward/back dash
  • This is useful for maintaining pressure or avoiding punishment
• Some normal/special attacks can be cancelled into Focus Attack for 2 bars (referred to as EX Focus Attack)
  • This version of focus attack does not have armor, but can still crumple if the Lv. 2 Focus Attack is fast enough to combo
  • This technique is the basis of the FADC (Focus Attack Dash Cancel) system that allows characters to extend combo routes, juggle into ultra, or use safe invincible reversals

+: Personal Action (Taunt)

• Performs a unique taunt animation; each character has 10 taunts to choose from
  • Dan has unique jumping and crouching taunts that can hit the opponent, while Dudley's crouching taunt throws a projectile rose
  • Guile's crouching taunt causes him to put on or take off his sunglasses
  • Some taunts can shift the character's hurtbox to match the animation (such as lying down to avoid projectiles)
