POWER METER
The Power Meter is the heart and soul of Sega Soccer Slam. Learn to master it, and
you will control your destiny on the field. When you generate enough Power Points to
completely fill the meter you'll have enough power to attempt a Killer Kick – the most
devastating move in the game!
Power Points
Just about every move on offense is worth a fixed number of Power Points.
By simply playing the game, you will slowly fill up your meter.
Move Pass Shot Protect Deke Hit Steal
Power Points
10 10 15 20 20 20
To fill up your meter more quickly, chain together different moves for
maximum points.
As long as you perform successive moves within three seconds of each other, you
can string four moves into one combination, which will be tallied at the end of the
combo, and each different move adds a 2x multiplier to the total.
Examples: Steal (20) + Pass (10) + Shot (10) = 40 x 6 = 240 Power Points.
Steal (20) + Deke (20) + Protect (15) + Shot (10) = 65 x 8 =520 Power Points.
Power Ups
Any time you have power in your Power Meter, you can Power Up the player you are
controlling. Each team has its own signature power source, but the effect is the
same: players become stronger and faster and better shooters.
•To Power Up a player, press the L1. The Power Up continues until you release
the L1 or the Power Meter runs out, whichever comes first.

KILLER KICKS
When your Power Meter is completely full, it flashes KILLER KICK! to indicate
that you now have this overpowering shot in your arsenal. The more Killer
Kicks you can manage in a game, the better your chance of destroying the
competition.
To take a Killer Kick:
1. Hold the R1 and the ✖ button at the same time. The ball is lobbed
high into the air, a green circle appears on the field beneath it, and you
take control of the pass recipient.
2. Move your player into the circle and press the ■ button once the green
cone of light appears. (Half of your power points are used to initiate Step 1
and the remaining half are used to initiate Step 2.)
3. Before your player connects with the ball, press the left analog stick
toward a corner of the goal to aim the shot. When the player connects,
he or she sends an explosive shot toward the net.
If you're saving up for a Killer Kick, lay off the Power
Up moves. It is very difficult to fill up the Power
Meter when you continue to use it up bit-by-bit.

SPOTLIGHT SHOTS
Every once in a while when you're on offense in your opponent's half of the field,
a spotlight image of your team's logo flashes across the field. Get the ball handler
into the spotlight and take a shot for a
powerful kick that rivals a Killer Kick.
To take a Spotlight Shot:
1. Move the ball handler into the spotlight and press the ■ button. The player
jumps into the air and takes a slow-motion swing at the ball.
2. Before your player connects with the ball, press the left analog stick toward a
corner of the goal to aim the shot. When the player connects, he or she sends
a blistering shot toward the net.
The defenders are just as aware of the spotlight as
you are, so they make it very difficult for you to run
into it. You'll have more success if you pass to a
teammate who's closer than you to the spotlight.
Pause Menu

Pause menu or just take a break from the action. The following options are available
