CFront Kick

Advanced technique

↑ + C performs a flying kick. ↓ + C performs a rising kick. Double-tap ← or → to burst dash. Tap the correct guard during the contact window to precision parry. Press F during attack startup to cancel into a feint. Press G at close range to attempt a clinch throw. A throw defeats a held guard, but an active strike defeats the throw attempt. Press G during the seven-frame escape window to throw-tech and stagger both fighters. Crossing a gold boundary line begins a twelve-frame grounded count. Return to the active tatami before the count completes or concede an Ippon by ring-out. Press T while grounded to perform tai sabaki. Press B before a launching strike or throw connects to brace with ukemi, reduce an Ippon to Waza-ari, soften knockback, and gain Focus. Evading through an active strike opens a brief reversal window that adds hitstun and Focus to your next scoring technique. Build Focus through hits, blocks, parries, clashes, movement, and clinch exchanges, then press Space at 100. Press V while grounded to cycle White Crane, Iron Tiger, and Jade Serpent. Vary successful techniques to extend Kata Flow and earn escalating score bonuses.

Three Forms

WHITE CRANE · press V during combat to cycle all three forms

Kata Flow ready · vary scoring techniques to build the chain

White Crane is balanced. Iron Tiger increases lunge, guard pressure, and knockback at a mobility cost. Jade Serpent increases movement, stamina efficiency, dash speed, and precision-guard timing.

U activates Focus, O feints, P changes form, H attempts or counters a clinch throw, Y performs tai sabaki, and N braces for ukemi. On a gamepad, press both shoulder buttons together for clinch, both stick buttons together to evade, and tap D-pad Down to brace for ukemi. Player 2 can also use the second connected gamepad. Local matches are saved as deterministic dual-input replays.

Endless Circuit

No active circuit · survive one-bout matches under deterministic battle laws.

Endless Circuit generates a new seeded run. Daily Circuit uses one UTC seed shared for the calendar day. Every ten rounds reshuffles all ten masters. Difficulty, score multipliers, and thirteen battle-law restrictions escalate while complete matches remain checksum-verified in Replay Theater.

Level 00 · New Player Academy

15 guided lessons teach movement, guards, every attack key, dashes, parries, forms, feints, Focus, clinches, evasions, ukemi, ring control, and practical tactics.

The lesson panel reacts to live inputs and combat events. Each completed objective unlocks the next lesson. Lessons can be restarted, revisited, or skipped without changing tournament progression.

Rival intelligence

The opponent begins by observing your spacing, guards, preferred attack level, favorite technique, and repetition patterns.

Rival memory persists across every exchange in the current match. Later gates use that memory more aggressively to punish predictable habits.
