While the combat seems simple, there are nuances that can give you a significant edge. Mastering these techniques will turn you into a formidable fighter.
- Charged Punches: Holding the punch button delivers a much stronger blow, capable of stunning opponents for longer or knocking them further. Use it when you have an opening.
- Grab and Headbutt Combo: Grab an opponent with both hands, then repeatedly headbutt them. This can quickly incapacitate them, allowing for an easy throw.
- Lifting and Throwing: Once you've grabbed an opponent, lift them high (RT/Shift) before throwing. This increases the distance and force of the throw, making it harder for them to recover.
- Dodge Rolling: The dodge roll (LT/Ctrl) is not just for evading; it can also be used to quickly reposition yourself or to break free from a grab if timed perfectly.
- Wall Climbing: If you're hanging from a ledge, you can often climb back up. This is a crucial survival skill. Practice climbing quickly to avoid being stomped on.
- Stomping: When an opponent is down, you can stomp on them (jump + kick) to keep them incapacitated or finish them off if they're near a hazard.
Practice these moves in different scenarios to integrate them into your fighting style.
