{{Waku Waku 7}}
 
==== Super Mode ====
 
Press all 4 buttons simultaneously
 
  When Super Mode is activated, your character will pose as they are
  surrounded with a burst of energy. The burst is able to hit opponent and
  can be used as a counter if blocking. During Super Mode, your character
  will flash a yellowish hue and their attacks will be 2x stronger. "Super"
  will appear under your character's Life Meter; it gradually get smaller and
  eventually fade from sight, thus ending Super Mode. Costs 1 stock of Super
  Meter to use.
 
==== Middle Attack ====

  Middle Attacks are attacks that can ONLY be blocked by standing (high). It
  will hit crouching opponent no matter if they are blocking or not.
 
==== Pursuit ====
 
When opponent is on the ground, press u + any regular attack button
 
  Like in many 3D games, after the opponent is knocked to the ground, your
  character can follow it up with a Pursuit; making your character jump up
  and land on the fallen opponent's body with an attack. If the Pursuit is
  missed, your character will leap back in the air, vulnerable to attacks.
 
==== Quick Recovery ====
 
Press any action button the second right before hitting the ground
 
  After throws that toss you up in the air, instead of having your character
  crash into the ground, you can quick recover. They will spring off the
  ground and flip to their feet, not taking the full damage from the throw
  and negating any pursuit chances.
 
==== Rising Attack ====
 
Tap u + any regular attack button rapidly after being knocked down
 
  A Rising Attack is an attack your character can perform as they are
  standing from being knocked down.
 
==== Rebound Attack ====
 
Press any kick button when you hit the wall
 
  A Rebound Attack is when your character flies into a wall, then leaps back
  at the opponent with a retaliation attack. You don't take damage from
  hitting the wall if you Rebound Attack.
 
==== Safe Fall ====
 
  Press any punch button when you hit the wall
 
  A Safe Fall is when you hit "catch" the wall, and just fall to the ground
  on your feet. You don't take the damage from hitting the wall if you Safe
  Fall.
