Controls
Since ROTD is a Neo Geo game, it follows the same 8-way and 4-button format as the other games.
- Buttons are A, B, C and D.
- Movement inputs are notated by Numpad notation. Click here to go to the notation guide!
Special Button Combonations
- A+B is to spot dodge.
- Forward A+B is to forward roll, Back A+B is to backward roll.
- C+D is First Impact. During the first impact, a button combination will appear above the meter bar. Alternatively, you can access the air version of first impact by tapping up after landing the attack which warrants a different button combination. The button combination is varied by character.
- C+D on block is your guard cancel. This is only available on block and costs one bar of meter to do.
- B+C is to tag in your partner. You can only do this when your tag meter at the top is full and says "CHANGE OK".
- 236B+C is your Duplex Attack. This requires both characters to be alive, the tag meter to be full and you need at least one meter. If you land a Duplex, you can follow it up by inputting 236B+C again after your character passes it to the tagged-in character. Some character teams have unique duplex attacks, but most just have generic normal attacks.
- Hold A+B+C+D is to surrender your current character. Surrendering your character gives the remaining life and meter to your other character. It also increases the maximum meter to 5 instead of 3.
