Rage Explosion: Activated by pressing A+B+C when your Rage Gauge is full. This grants a temporary damage boost, makes you invulnerable for a short period during activation, and allows you to perform a single Lightning Blade (236+A+B or 214+A+B, depending on character). Lightning Blade is a powerful, unblockable attack that deals massive damage. Use Rage Explosion strategically, either to escape pressure, punish an opponent, or set up a devastating combo. The timing of your Rage Explosion can be crucial, as it's a one-time-per-round resource.
Weapon Flip Technique: Performed by pressing 214+D (quarter circle back + Kick) when your Weapon Flip Gauge is full. This move disarms your opponent, leaving them vulnerable to unblockable attacks and significantly reducing their damage output. While disarmed, your opponent can pick up their weapon by standing over it and pressing A+B. The Weapon Flip is a high-risk, high-reward maneuver. A successful Weapon Flip can create a huge advantage, but a missed one can leave you open to punishment. Mastering the timing and spacing for this technique is essential for high-level play.
