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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
