Welcome to Sunset Showdown, the samurai fighting game. You are the fighter on the left and you must react to your opponent's moves to counterattack them. Use the up arrow to counter attacks that come from below. Use the down arrow to counter attacks that come from above. Use the right arrow to counter the throwing knives. A successful parry on all of those deals damage. Use the left arrow to dodge backward. It protects you from all attacks except the throwing knives. It is the only way to dodge jab attacks.
