Air Kombat

Find character-specific pop-up moves which allow a Kombatant to use Air Kombat. When an opponent is in the air, jump up to perform Air Kombat combos against him/her.

Ground Kombat

After being knocked to the ground, hold the Block button to stay there. Press the D-pad to roll away, or press the attack buttons to perform a quick attack from the ground.

Breaker System

At the beginning of each match, you’re given only three Combo Breakers. You should use these wisely, because they won’t be replenished at the end of a round. Press For- ward and Block to break a combo. Each time you perform a Breaker, one of the icons will disappear.

Moves List

During a match, press the > button to view the Pause Menu. Select Moves List to view the moves for your character. Press the D-pad 1 or 5 to cycle between the two

fighting styles and special moves, then press 7 or 3 to scroll through all the moves for that style. The Moves List is available in all game modes, including Practice.

Kreate a Fatality

If you’ve defeated an opponent in a Kombat Match, the “Finish Him/Her” prompt will appear. As the red bar drains, you have a limited amount of time to enter a button se- quence and create one string of a Fatality. The red bar indicates the time left to perform the next Fatality sequence. If you successfully enter the right sequence, the timer will reset, allowing you to attempt another sequence. You can enter up to 10 sequences of a Fatality, pounding away until nothing is left of your opponent.
