Moves List
Normal Moves
Special Moves
Burning Sword
- DP + Punch
Anita summons Akuma (of Street Fighter II fame) to help imbue her sword with fire. Works as an anti-air or combo ender.
Lightning Spears
- RDP + Punch
Anita summons Lei-Lei (Hsien-Ko's sister from Darkstalkers). She throws out several (short-ranged) electric spears.
These spears do damage and also drain super meter from the enemy. This move also does massive stun damage.
Sword Plant
- HP+HK
This plants the sword in the ground. All of Anita's normal moves lose range and she loses the ability to use Burning Sword and Lightning Spears.
Sword Return
- HP+HK (after Sword Plant)
This returns the sword to Anita, hitting the opponent once it passes through him.
Super Moves
Infinity Counter
Flaming Sword
- Back, Down-Back, Down + Punch
(when blocking an attack)
Infinity Combo
Love for You
- Quarter-circle Forward + 3 Punches
Arguably the most broken super in the game. It does massive damage and tons of hits (90+) and on block, it can chip for more than 60% of a player's life bar.
It travels nearly the full horizontal distance of the screen.
