Combat movement and positioning

Success in each duel depends heavily on spatial management and platform mastery. Because characters move rapidly across horizontal ledges, maintaining central platform control prevents you from getting trapped at arena boundaries. Timing your leaps allows you to strike descending rivals or retreat when your initial hit misses. Patient spacing consistently overcomes reckless rushing.

Tips and strategy

Control elevated perches: Holding higher platforms gives you clear visibility and forces opponents to jump blindly upward into your range.
Wait for missed swings: Rushing directly forward often causes accidental collisions, so wait until an enemy swings wide before counterattacking.
Maintain room to maneuver: Getting trapped against the perimeter walls severely restricts jumping angles and invites punishment.
Vary your approach timing: Mixing steady ground advances with unexpected aerial drops makes your patterns difficult for computer opponents to track.
Reset spacing after exchanges: Whenever an attack fails to connect, step backward onto an adjacent ledge instead of trading wild blows.
