Using guard will deplete your Guard Gauge.
When the gauge reaches 0, guard will be temporarily
released and thus infinite guarding is not possible.
When guarding, it is important to find a window
for counterattacking or evading.
Jump towards upper left side
Jump in place
Jump towards upper right side
If you can predict your opponent’s next action, jump or roll forwards and evade their attack and counterattack.
However, guard cannot be used while jumping or rolling.
If you predict incorrectly, you may be in danger of being attacked. Use jump and roll moves with caution!
