Basic Battle Rules

• To KO the opponent, his health gauge must be in danger state. With his health gauge in danger state, any of your Strong Punch, Strong Kick, Weapon Attack, Strong Grapple, or Blazing move can KO him. Also, smashing the opponent in danger state to an environment object such as wall will result in a KO. The other attacks are unable to KO the opponent.
• The dark green bar on the top of the screen is a health tank. The light green bar is a health gauge indicating the stamina of the fighter.
• When successful damage is inflicted on the fighter, his health tank and health gauge decrease. The health gauge increases slowly over periods of time where the fighter has not incurred damage.
• The health tank indicates the upper limit to which the health gauge increases, while the health tank will not increase.
• Once the stamina in the health gauge is decreased to a specific level, the fighter enters "Danger" state.
? In case of ?Double knockout? where both fighters are knocked out, the fighter who has hit more attacks than the other is the winner.

When weak punch or weak kick hits the opponent and you press punch or kick key timely, your fighter performs a kick or punch combo.

The combo can be performed even if the opponent blocks the attack successfully. The upper limit of the attacks performed in the combo varies by fighter.

A grapple move can be performed only when you are grappling the opponent. The environment attack can be executed by "IrishWhipping" the opponent towards the wall or an environment object, inflicting damage on him.

If the attacks hit the fighter consecutively, he gets stunned. By tapping any key except soft keys, he can recover from the stunned state quickly.

Blazing

You can activate blazing mode by pressing blazing mode activation key with blazing gauge maxed out. Once blazing mode is activated, you need to grapple the opponent and press the appropriate key to perform blazing move that inflicts a devastating damage on the opponent. The activated blazing mode lasts only for a certain period of time.

The yellow bar on the game screen is called "Blazing gauge." You can increase the gauge by landing an attack onto the opponent.

Repeating the same attack lowers the increasing rate, so you need to mix various attacks to increase the gauge effectively.

The blazing gauge is maxed out for a certain period of time, so you need to activate blazing mode before the period expires. Otherwise, the gauge decreases below a half of the gauge. Blazing mode lasts for a certain period of time as well.

Therefore, if you do not perform blazing move during that period, blazing gauge returns to the default value. These periods get shortened if the opponent inflicts damage on you.
