Button Layout
This game has six attack buttons: Three for punches and kicks, respectively. Lighter attacks are closer to the lever, while heavier ones are further.
Aside from their strength and speed, there is no standard to how each character's attack performs in-game. One character's light attacks may be appreciably weaker than another's.
