Combat Tips
Key techniques to master the controls system.
- • Perfect Block: Time your block (F) exactly when an attack lands for a counter-attack window.
- • Dash Cancel: Use Q to dash out of combos or create distance when pressured.
- • Guard Break: Some styles (Wrestling) have moves that pierce guard — watch for the Takedown passive.
- • Combo Extension: Use M1 chains into Heavy (R) for maximum damage. Capoeira's Flow State extends combos after 3+ hits.
- • Height Advantage: Taller characters have longer reach but bigger hitboxes. Shorter characters are harder to hit.
