In addition, when retrying, the player can pick 'Assists', which are namely increased lives and Star Moves however, doing so adds a penalty to the score the higher the assist. In order to prevent the classic infinite jab combo, where the player taps the jab button, pause and repeat, essentially locking opponents infinitely, the developers added a limitation where all enemies will fall down after taking up to 8 hits.ĭuring Story Mode, players can pause the game and select 'Retry' at any time, restarting the stage, as well being able to change character. Players always start with one Star Move by default at the start of each stage, and can find hidden around the stages are Star icons, which add a Star Move stock when collected.

In addition, characters now have access to an Aerial Special Attack.Īnother major addition are the Star Moves these are limited use moves which consume the star icons below the player's healthbar and deal massive damage to multiple enemies at once, while also making the player completely invulnerable for its entire duration (except for a few, namely Shiva's Spirit Dance and Max's Iron Will). Each consecutive hit the player delivers against enemies will replenish replenishes some health based on damage dealt however, should the player take a direct hit, the remaining green bar will disappear and the health recovery effect will be lost. New to the gameplay formula is a revamped Special Attack system, where after using one, a green gauge will appear over the healthbar, marking the amount of health lost. Counter has not a linear increase but exponential: that means that one consecutive combo of 100 identical hits would generate a much higher score than, for instance, 4 split combos each of 25 hits.

Out of The World combos are critical for high score and achieving S Rank. There are different level of combos, with highest value achieved displaying message 'OUT OF THE WORLD!!!' once the combo counter resets. Taking any form of direct damage or taking too long to hit enemies will reset the combo counter. At the end of each stage the player must face the boss.Ĭombat has been greatly refined, such as players being able to juggle opponents against each other and walls for extended combos, as well hit enemies that are on the ground with low attacks that lifts them, allowing for more juggling.Ĭombo are calculated on consecutive hits that deal damage to the enemies (hitting an breakable object and picking up health/point items will prolong the combo but not increase the counter). Players can pick up healing items and weapons. Players advance from left to right on each stage, defeating enemies as they go.
