Part 2

Familiarize yourself with the move notation system. A slash (/) between commands means you can use either command (e.g., f/b+HP means you can do the move using f+HP or b+HP).

Understand special move indicators: (AA) means the move can be done in the air, (OA) means it can only be done in the air, and (C) means it must be done close to the opponent.

Recognize sequence notation: [Move Name](#) indicates the start of a sequence. A notation like 1(HP)>[Move 2](2) means you must perform "Move 1" using its HP version before "Move 2". If no version is specified, any version is acceptable.

Note move repetition: [Move Name](x#/*) signifies a move can be performed # times in sequence, with '*' indicating its EX version.

Learn common moves: Dash (f,[f]), step back (b,b), roll forward (LP+LK/f+LP+LK), roll back (b+LP+LK), Guard Cancel Roll (f+LP+LK during block, consumes 1 special bar), Guard Cancel Roll Back (b+LP+LK during block, consumes 1 special bar), Recovery Roll (LP+LK while being knocked down), HDS (LK+HP, requires full Hyper Drive Gauge), Knockdown Attack (HP+HK), Guard Cancel Attack (KP+HK during block, consumes 1 special bar), Throw Escape (HP/HK when opponent uses a normal throw), and Taunt (PA button, cannot be cancelled).

Understand new terminology:

EX Moves: Reinforced versions of Special and Desperation moves. Press the Light and Heavy buttons simultaneously (e.g., QCF+LP+HP for Terry's Power Wave EX). EX Special Moves require 1 special bar, EX Desperation Moves require 2 special bars. Using an EX Desperation Move for a target action like "Hit your opponent with a DESPERATION MOVE!" will not count. For move sequences or repeatable moves, only the first move consumes the bar and requires pressing both Light and Heavy buttons; subsequent moves in the sequence will still be EX versions.

Neo Max: A Hidden Super Desperation Move. Requires 3 special bar levels and a full Hyper Drive Gauge (HDG). If in Hyper Drive State (HDS), it costs 2 special bar levels instead of 3 and empties the HDG.

Hyper Drive Gauge (HDG): A green gauge used for Drive Cancel, Super Cancel, or entering Hyper Drive State (HDS).

Drive Cancel: Cancels a Special Move into another using half the HDG. Can also cancel a special move into its own EX version. Restrictions will be noted in parentheses.

Super Cancel: Cancels a Special Move into a Desperation Move, costing half the HDG. Restrictions will be noted in parentheses.

Hyper Drive State (HDS): Activates when the HDG begins to deplete. Cancels cost only 10% of the HDG (HD Cancel) in this state. Performing a Drive Cancel in HDS will not count towards the "Perform a DRIVE CANCEL!" target action. HDS can be activated after a normal or command move, including in the air.

Max Cancel: While in HDS, cancel a Desperation Move into another Desperation Move. Exits HDS.

Review team compositions: Characters marked with '*' have an alternative color selectable via the select button during character selection and configurable in the customize menu. Characters marked with '+' also have alternative colors but without separate customization. Teams include Elisabeth Team (ELISABETH BRANCTORCHE, DUOLON, SHEN WOO), Japan Team, Yagami Team, Fatal Fury Team, Psycho Soldier Team, Kim Team, Art of Fighting Team, Ikari Warriors Team, Women Fighters Team, K' Team, and Single Entry characters (ASH CRIMSON, SAIKI, BILLY KANE). DLC (downloadable content — extra missions or items released after launch) characters are EX IORI YAGAMI (WITH FLAMES), EX KYO (96 STYLE), and MR. KARATE.
