Block = hold B when being attacked high or D/B when being attacked low

---Other Things You Need to Know:
Each character has the usual life bar at the top of the screen but there is also a Spirit Meter. Spirit energy is required to perform some special moves. You gain a bit of Spirit energy when you attack or block incoming attacks. Some moves require your Spirit Meter to be charged to a higher point to perform; those moves are indicated in the move sections below. Super moves can only be performed with a full Spirit Meter and less than 1/4 of your life bar remaining.
Throws are UNBLOCKABLE. They can still be escaped so that you take less damage and don't fall helplessly to the ground.
Note: throws that are character specific special moves are blockable unless otherwise labeled, but no special move throw can be escaped.
All Super Moves are UNBLOCKABLE except for Todo's and Jin's. Supers can be dodged.
Power Attacks can only be performed with a nearly full Spirit Meter and less than 1/4 of your life bar remaining.
Most special moves and Power Attacks will cause your opponent to take a little bit of damage if they block.
When two projectiles meet they cancel each other. Power Attacks that create projectiles will also cancel special move projectiles and continue to travel across the screen. Some other special moves and Power Attacks will cancel projectiles.
The C button acts as a P or K button depending on the last button you pressed. If the last button pressed was A then the C button will be a hard punch. If the last button pressed was B then the C button will be a hard kick. Keep in mind what the last attack was that you performed.
