Other Actions During a Focus AtTACk
You cannot move or jump during a Focus Attack, but you can perform either a forward or backward dash to cancel the Focus Attack quickly.
Super Cancel
Input the Super Combo command while performing a normal move or special move and you can cancel and move directly into the Super Combo.This is called a "Super Cancel."
Using Super Cancels strategically allows you to chain a normal move into a special move, and then into a Super Combo for massive amounts of damage.
EX Special moves
You can also perform an EX special move by pressing two or more of the required buttons (punch or kick) when inputting a special move command.This will consume one segment of your Super Combo Gauge. EX special moves are further powered up versions of your normal special moves.
