To navigate the menu and play, use the arrow keys to move, Z to select, and X to go back. Z = Attack X = Shield Z + X = Special Holding a direction while attacking changes what attack you will do. Each fighter has a neutral, side, up, & down attack. If you press Shield and Attack at the same time, you will do a Special attack (you can also press C in single player modes) Each fighter has one special attack. -You can press Down + Shield to taunt. You can also press V to taunt in 1-player modes. Press space to pause.
All of the playable characters have been altered in some way (except for spacedog). I recommend you play thundercat, psykid, or road combatant if you have a really good sense of left and right and up and down. Also, all the projectiles are shuffled.
