Miscellaneous information

The Chaos Gauge (Super meter) can hold up to three stocks at any time.

A dizzy meter is present, as in Street Fighter 3 series and King of Fighters XI.

Before each battle, you must "select your bounce", i.e. choose between the Step (dash) and Run abilities. The Step can be cancelled into (attack -> Step), thereby eliminating some recovery time, while the Run can be cancelled from (Run -> attack or High Jump), allowing a character to move in on the opponent more easily.

Next, you are given your choice of two Extra moves out of a total of four. Each character has two Extra special moves and two Extra Ultimate Chaos moves (Level 1 Super moves) to choose from.

Movement/defensive system overview

Step/Run (selectable)
f, f (hold f to run)

Backdash
b, b

High Jump
db/d/df, ub/u/uf or run, ub/u/uf

High Jump cancel
Cancellable normal moves (but not special moves) and the Run may be cancelled into a high jump.

Air dash
f, f (in the air)

Double jump
ub/u/uf (in the air)

Roll
AB/f+AB/b+AB

Ground ukemi (recovery roll)
AB (when about to touch the ground)

Aerial ukemi (air recovery)
direction + AB when launched into the air

Tactical Guard
CD (requires half a stock of Chaos Gauge; can be done in the air)
If your character absorbs an attack, he/she will automatically counterattack.

Offensive system overview

A = weak punch
B = weak kick
C = strong punch
D = strong kick

Chaos Combo
Normal moves can be chained together as per this flowchart:

A -> B -> C -> D

Throw
AC

Throw escape
C (just before being thrown)

Counter Hit
A Counter Hit will yield longer hit stun than a normal hit, allowing additional attacks to connect. For example, a sweep cannot be followed up by anything on a normal hit, but can on a Counter Hit.

Guard Break Attack
f+CD (requires one stock of Chaos Gauge)
This move will break an opponent’s guard and can be cancelled into from normal moves.

EX special move
special move motion +AC/BD (requires half a stock of Chaos Gauge)
Not every special move has an EX version, and none of the Extra special moves does.

Ultimate Chaos/Extra Ultimate Chaos (Level 1 Super move)
motion + one button (requires one stock of Chaos Gauge)

Destruction Chaos (Level 3 Super move)
qcf, hcb/qcb, hcf+AC (requires three stocks of Chaos Gauge; cannot be done during Exceed Chaos)

Chaos Cancel (Super Cancel)
special move -> Ultimate Chaos (requires one extra stock of Chaos Gauge for a total of two stocks)

Chaos Shift
AB/f+AB during Ultimate Chaos (requires one extra stock of Chaos Gauge for a total of two stocks)
An Ultimate Chaos move can be cancelled into a special form of movement as an escape tactic or to allow for follow-up attacks.

Exceed Chaos
BC (requires three stocks of Chaos Gauge; can be cancelled into from normal and special moves)

Upon the activation of Exceed Chaos, the Chaos Gauge begins to drain until it reaches zero. EC carries several benefits:

1) The dizzy meter empties instantly

2) Gradual life recovery

3) All attacks become cancellable

4) All moves which use Chaos Gauge consume a portion of the timer, the amount corresponding to their normal gauge cost (allowing for otherwise impossible combos, such as special move -> Chaos Cancel into Ultimate Chaos -> Chaos Shift into normal move -> Ultimate Chaos or EX special move…)
