Introduction

Game Mechanics

Button Notation and Command Attacks

A = Weak Slash
B = Medium Slash
C = Kick
D = Special
AB= Fierce Slash
BC= Surprise Attack(overhead attacks while dodging low attacks)

The Sword Gauge

The Sword Gauge below the Life Gauge shows the character's attack strength. Striking an opponent with a low Sword Gauge level delivers little damage, but slash an opponent with the Sword Gauge at MAX and watch his life drop. The Sword Gauge falls with each slash or miss but climbs again with time.

Rage Gauge

Whenever characters take damage their Rage Gauge rises. When it reaches MAX, you can use Rage moves. As you take attacks and damage, the Rage Gauge increases. And when it reaches MAX, the Sword Gauge maxes out, too.

Rage Explosion

Activating the "Rage Explosion" allows you to use invincible attacks that blow back an enemy attack even if you are taking damage, and it shoots the sword gauge up to MAX in an instant. Time your use of this right because once it's activated, the Rage Gauge disappears for the rest of the match.
