System

V-Skill I & II

Perform an action unique to your character by using V-Skill. Press Medium Punch and Medium Kick at the same time to execute moves with effects that differ between characters.

V-Trigger I & II

Play the trump card that could change the course of a match by pulling the V-Trigger. Press Hard Punch and Hard Kick at the same time when your V-Gauge is at MAX to launch a powerful, character-specific action like a teleport or timed power-up. V-Triggers cost your entire V-Gauge.

V-Reversal

Counterattack while guarding with a V-Reversal. Press Forward and all three Punch OR Kick buttons while guarding an opponents attack to launch a counterattack. V-Reversals cost one stock of your V-Gauge.

V-Shift

The V-Shift battle mechanic will help you get out of tough situations at the cost of one bar of V-Gauge. When timed correctly, V-Shift can be executed at nearly any moment in a match, and will make you fully invincible to attacks, throws, and projectiles for a short time. Perform V-Shift by pressing Hard Punch and Medium Kick at the same time. Follow up with V-Shift Break by pressing Hard Punch and Medium Kick again or by simply holding both attacks down after a successful V-Shift.

Throw & Throw Escape

Break through your opponent’s guard with a well-timed Normal Throw. Press Light Punch and Light Kick at the same time when close to your opponent to throw them. If you think you are about to be thrown, press Light Punch and Light Kick at the same time with precise timing to perform a Throw Escape.

Recovery

Get up quickly after being knocked down by using Recovery. Input a direction OR press two or more Punch or Kick buttons at the same time after being knocked down by an opponent’s attack. If you time it right, you will get up quickly. There are two types of Recovery: Back and Neutral. See the diagram for instructions on how to perform both types.

EX Moves

Power up Special Moves by launching their EX versions. Press two of the corresponding Punch or Kick buttons while performing a Special Move to execute its EX version. EX Moves cost one stock of your Critical Gauge.
