Tips
- Time your block right before an attack lands to perform a perfect parry.
- Use kick to break an opponent's block.
- Do not mash attacks. Spacing, timing, and reading your opponent matter.
- If no one is online, try the AI practice mode first.
- Grab a friend, download the game, and fight each other for GLORY!
