Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games
Photosensitive seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain
visualimages,includingashinglightsorpatternsthatmayappearinvideogames.
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.

A young man who searches for his lost past.
A man who burns with the desire to defeat his greatest rival.

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.

Light

Escape
When grabbed by opponent
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!
