Gameplay Mechanics Three Attack Types: Punch (Light) Kick (Medium) Special (Heavy) Use these to build combos and manage spacing. Spirit Energy (Special Meter) Filled by landing hits. Used for special moves and Spirit Energy attacks (like Yusuke’s Rei Gun). Fully charged = unleash a Spirit Bomb (game-breaking finisher). Combos & Grabs Chain light and medium attacks together.
