How to Battle (you should probably read this part) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Use up and down arrows to scroll through attacks/skills/specials. Use space to select one. YOU REGENERATE SP EVERY TURN. The amount you regenerate depends on your max SP. There is a number on every skill/special that determines how much HP/SP is required to use the attack. IF THE NUMBER IS RED, THE ATTACK IS PHYSICAL AND REQUIRES HP TO USE. IF THE NUMBER IS BLUE, THE ATTACK IS SPECIAL AND REQUIRES SP TO USE. All standard attacks are physical. Once Dark Sonic has joined your team, you unlock EP and the All-Out Attack. The All-Out Attack takes 100 EP to use.
