Meter System
The meter in N-Groove is a single bar with boxes for three meter stocks at its end. When the meter fills up, it adds a flashing red meter stock to the bar, after which the meter will reset to zero and the player can continue to build meter up for another meter stock. (Any action performed that "overfills" the meter bar will rollover and contribute to the next stock after the meter bar resets.) When three stocks are stored, the meter will remain full to indicate that no more meter or stocks can be gained.
The player can use a Level 1 super or system ability (Counter Attack, Counter Movement) per one stock. (When the player has three stocks, using one will deduct the stock and reset the meter bar to zero, allowing the player to build up a stock again.)
Players can also use a stock to activate POWER UP mode by pressing 
+ 
.
In POWER UP mode, attacks do 20% additional damage and enable access to Level 3 supers if an additional stock (not the one you used to activate!) is available for it. If in POWER UP mode without an additional stock, players will not have access to any supers or system abilities since they always require a stock to use. Meter cannot be gained during POWER UP mode.
Stock activation must be done in neutral and on the ground, and cannot be cancelled into from any move or action. The breaking a stock animation takes a total of 20 frames to complete, during which you are completely vulnerable to attacks. However, the animation can be cancelled out of by a special or super move after the 8th frame, the point at which the actual use of the meter to enter POWER UP mode takes place. Due to this startup lag, it is possible to be hit out of the activation sequence before the meter is spent.
Meter (any stocks and any partial meter in the bar) is shared by the team and persists between rounds, win or lose. If a character was in POWER UP mode at the end of a round, the POWER UP state immediately ends; no meter will be recovered from any time remaining in the POWER UP timer.
