Thats the official Japanese site for The Rumble Fish 2. The site explains everything. But… I can’t read Japanese. I understand some (like if you can do the move in the air) but otherwise Its EXTREMLY limited.
Someone please translate because I don’t really get it.
From what I understand about the game:
Attacking builds up your Offense meter labeled “Off” in red on the bottom of your screen, use this to do supers or advanced attack.
Blocking builds up your Defense meter labeled “Def” in blue on the bottom of your screen under the offense meter. Use this to do advanced defensive moves like dodge or parry. ALso use this to do Defensive supers (alpha counter like attack???)
When both bars are filled, they become Green and says “Critical” and you can unleash an extremely powerful attack that does at least 1 lifebar off a character.
Err, light punch+ light kick = Jolt Attack AKA unblockable. If it hits, the screen turns red and your opponent flies away slowly, you are allowed to combo them until they hit the ground. This takes one offense meter bar.
strong punch+ strong kick = advanced attack. This is similar to Roman Cancelling in GGXX. You use it to extend combos. For example: you do basic combo, advanced attack into a longer combo before you do a super. Very good for guard crushing a person and used to keep pressure on. I like. This takes one offense meter bar.
Now the stuff I don’t understand:
1)
light punch+ strong kick
light kick+ strong punch
Both these commands make your character enter a special mode in which I don’t know whats special about it. Explain please. Each mode seems character specific.
The 5th button. I don’t understand it’s use. I’ve used it a couple of times but I don’t know the command. I know this button is very important in saving your ass so someone please help me. The poor Chinese kid playing Sheryl with gloves that he had since 6th grade. (I’m going to 11th grade in the fall)
Its like playing CvS2 but not knowing how to alpha counter or roll in C groove. Not good.
This game is fun. Let’s use this thread to share what we know about the game. If I get enough information, I can write a ghetto FAQ and post it in attachment form. It can be sorta like a basic guide for beginners and we can add on what we find out.
