Assists Introduction
There are 20 Assist characters with 2 secret helper characters. Just push a button during the assist select screen and you get whichever assist the random selector was on. There is a limited amount of times you can use each assist which is dependent on how useful they are. Assists are very useful in creating distractions among other things. You can easily connect many supers after an assist connects too. It is important to note that all assists can be knocked away if hit. All attacks from assists take chipping damage.
How To Select An Assist
The Assist Select grid is labeled from 1 to 20 from left to right, top to bottom. Shadow and Sentinel are 21 and 22, respectively. For instance, say you want Ton-Pooh. Since she is the first square on the 2nd row, her number is 5. To select her, before the Assist Select gird appears, simply hold down HP and LP, since 4 + 1 = 5. Below is the compilation of what buttons to use for selecting the character. In other words, it's like binary code.

She comes in on a mech which self-destructs after a LONG time. It's unblockable though so use her in cornering the opponent! If you can set up traps where the opponent is forced to be stuffed, it can be a very useful assist for free damage. |
