MECHANICS: Vitality The top bar of your character represents your Vitality. Reaching zero causes death. Balance The bottom bar represents Balance. Taking hits, blocking, or parrying heavier hits causes your Balance bar to raise. If it reaches the maximum, you cannot guard. Stun When getting hit, your stun bar will raise. If it reaches the maximum, you will be stunned. Fighting Stances Press 1 to get into your fighting stance. You must be in your fighting stance to perform attacks and defend. ATTACKS Press E to perform a light attack. It can be easily followed up with other moves to perform COMBOS. Hold E to perform more light attacks up to 3. Press R to perform a heavy attack. It is slower than a light attack, but deals more damage and can knock the opponent back. Press V to perform a front kick. It deals less damage than a heavy attack but knocks the opponent backwards and deals a lot of damage to their balance. Press Z to perform an uppercut.
