If you press the "Gachi button" when an enemy attacks, you can parry their attacks and fight back! If you successfully parry an attack, you can fight back immediately, with no pause between the parry and your attack! If you can successfully parry multi-hit combos, you can completely protect yourself. You can parry standing, crouching, and even in midair!

Touch your directional pad and "Gachi button" when an enemy attacks to activate your Gachi Drive, and knock your attacker back! Chase after enemies you've knocked back, and time your attacks right, for powerful combos!

By consuming your MP gauge, you can greatly increase your character's strength! The effects of Heat Up are different depending on which character you are using, so make sure you understand a character's abilities before you start heating things up! Combine Heat Up with your combos for even more damage!

Hold down the buttons when you perform a move, and you can delay your attacks! If you hold your attack, its power will increase. It's important to read your opponent's Gachi timing, and use delays to throw them off.

If you are close to an opponent, you can throw them, but be careful—they can do the same to you! Do not fear, however: If you time it just right, you can parry an opponent's throw with your own throw attack! This won't throw your opponent, but it will keep them from tossing you around!

When you are knocked back by your opponent, pressing the "Gachi button" at just the right time will allow you to parry the attack.
