Blocking in this game is done by hold back and moving in the opposite direction that the opponent is in. In this game, when a player blocks, the player who is attacking will receive damage and must stop attacking in order to stop receiving damage.(this is since it is possible to make the opponent block forever) There is also a combo breaker mechanic that pushes away players when the combo meter reaches a certain number.(this is because it may be possible to combo the opponent forever) On the Character Select Screen, choosing random will not choose a character and leave it blank. This is useful for testing a character without another character causing lag. There are many more mechanics that can be discovered but these are some useful ones in my game.
