GAUGES
******
While in battle, there are 3 gauges you'll see at the screen:
Health Sword (at the top of the screen)
Once it's completely soaked in blood, your character will die.
Unblockable Gauge (right beneath the Health Sword)
It charges when you hit your opponent and he/she is blocking your attacks.
Once it's fully charged and blinking, you can perform Unblockable
Move, which is the same for all the characters: b,f+P.
Special Sword (at the bottom of the screen)
It charges:
- when you hit your opponent or being hit by opponent
- when you use FP and FK without hitting the opponent
- when you use your special moves.
Once it's fully soaked in blood, you can unleash one of your SUPER MOVES...
