Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games
Photosensitive seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain
Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed
condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching
video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered
vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation,
confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of
consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking
nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these
symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—
children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk
of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions:
Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play in a well-lit room; do not play
when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor
before playing.
ESRB Game Ratings
The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) ratings are designed to provide
consumers, especially parents, with concise, impartial guidance about the ageappropriateness and content of computer and video games. This information can
help consumers make informed purchase decisions about which games they deem
suitable for their children and families.
ESRB ratings have two equal parts:
• Rating Symbols suggest age appropriateness for the game. These symbols
appear on the front of virtually every game box available for retail sale or
rental in the United States and Canada.
• Content Descriptors indicate elements in a game that may have triggered a
particular rating and/or may be of interest or concern. The descriptors appear
on the back of the box next to the rating symbol.

with the first fighter to win two rounds
declared the victor.
WINNING ROUNDS
A single round lasts for a maximum of 99 on
the time counter. Reduce your opponent’s
Vitality Gauge to 0 within that time for a win
by KO. If the time runs out then the fighter
with the most vitality remaining will be
declared the winner.

play as. Select a character and the customize window will open. Alter
settings with the D-pad and confirm with the A Button.
A DRAW
A draw occurs when
both fighters’ vitality falls
to 0 simultaneously or their
remaining vitality is exactly
the same when the time runs
out. If the final round of a
match ends in a draw then it
is game over.

character. If you do not make a selection, one will
be displayed automatically.

Basic Controls
All of the controls shown in the basic controls section are for when
your character is facing the right. When facing the left, all left/right
controls should be reversed.
NORMAL MOVES
Press the punch or kick buttons to perform normal moves. The actual
attack performed depends on the position of your character and the
button pressed.
SPECIAL MOVES
Inputting a specific combination of directional and attack buttons allows
you to perform a special move. Even if your opponent blocks a special
move, they will still take a small amount of damage. Inputting the
command for a special move during certain normal moves allows you
to cut short, or “cancel,” the normal move and quickly go straight into
performing the special move. Using cancelling skillfully is one way to
create damaging combinations.
BONUS MESSAGES
The following messages will appear on the screen when certain
conditions are fulfilled.
TECHNICAL
REVERSAL
Displayed after performing a successful quick standing
recovery or throw escape.
Displayed after performing a special move, Super Combo
or Ultra Combo in the specific situations described below.
Perform a reversal with a beat down attack and it will take
on Armor Break properties, nullifying Hyper Armor. (Please
refer to P.13)
• In the instant you can move again after recovering from
taking damage, blocking or being stunned.
• In the instant after performing a recovery or getting up
from being knocked over.
• In the instant you land after being sent ying backward but
not actually knocked to the ground.
BLOCK
Pushing the D-pad away from
your opponent allows you to
block their attacks. You can
block high (standing) and low
(crouching) attacks. High and
low blocks can block specific
attacks, but not every attack.
You will need to carefully and
quickly swap between them
to block all incoming attacks.
You cannot block while in
the air.
DASH
Press the D-pad twice quickly
forward to perform a forward dash,
or backward twice to perform a
backward dash. Dashing allows
you to quickly close the distance
between you and your opponent,
or to fall back and reassess the
situation.
STUN RECOVERY
If you keep getting pummeled, you
will eventually become stunned. While
stunned, you cannot do anything. Your
only hope is to press the D-pad and other
buttons as fast as you can to recover
from the stun faster.
Block High
Block Low
Forward Dash
Backward Dash

COUNTER
A counter hit occurs when you interrupt an opponent’s
attack with one of your own. Your opponent will take
longer to recover from the damage caused by a Counter
Hit, making it possible to perform combinations that are
otherwise impossible.
11
FOCUS ATTACKTHROWS AND THROW ESCAPES
When standing close to your
opponent, pressing the light
punch and light kick buttons
simultaneously allows you to
throw your opponent. You can
change the direction you throw
the opponent by pressing the
D-pad left or right. You can
prevent yourself from being
thrown by pressing light punch
and light kick together when
your opponent begins to throw
you. This is called a “throw
escape.”
* Some characters can also
perform a throw when jumping
(aerial throw), or special move throws (command throws). Throw
escapes cannot be performed against aerial or command throws.

RECOVERY
When your opponent’s attacks have
knocked your character to the ground,
you can either press the D-pad down or
any two buttons together in the instant
that you hit the ground to perform a
quick recovery. A successful recovery
will reduce the amount of time spent
prone on the ground and make it easier
to respond to the next incoming attack.
* Some attacks, such as throws, do not
allow a recovery to be performed after
them.
Just Before
Landing
or
Together
PERSONAL ACTION
While standing, you can press the heavy punch and heavy kick buttons
together to make your character perform a personal action and taunt
your opponent. This action in and of itself has no special properties.
PERFORMING A FOCUS ATTACK
Press and hold the Medium Punch and Medium Kick buttons together
to charge up a Focus Attack. To perform a full strength Focus Attack,
hold the buttons until the attack is unleashed automatically. If you
release the buttons while charging, the Focus Attack will come out
sooner, but weaker.
Medium
HYPER ARMOR DURING A FOCUS ATTACK
You can absorb up to one
enemy attack in the time
between pressing the
Medium Punch / Medium
Kick buttons and the Focus
Attack being performed. You
can then go on to counter by
performing the attack.
Recovers over time!
Absorb an opponent’s attack and, rather than take direct damage, a
section of your vitality gauge will change color, and will then regenerate
over time.
This damage will recover as time passes, but if you are hit again before
it finishes recovering, the remaining section will vanish and can no
longer be recovered.
* This method is not effective when your
opponent uses an attack with the “Armor
Break” property.
Take further damage
and it vanishes!
