Basic Attack Information + How to Input Them:
When attacking, three parameters are taken into account.
Light or Quick / Heavy Attacks - two types of attack, each assigned a separate button.
Aerial / Grounded Attacks - different attacks according to whether or not the player is in the air.
Direction - different attacks according to directional inputs: the assigned Up/Down/Left/Right keys. This produces either 'Neutral', 'Side' or 'Down' inputs ('Up' and 'No Input' are both under 'Neutral').
Quick Attack - Quick Attacks—aka Light Attacks—can be inputted by clicking the left mouse button (LMB) for keyboard and mouse, C or J for keyboard, and X for controller.
Tip: These will be what get you most of your damage!
Heavy Attack - Heavy Attacks—aka Signatures—can be inputted by clicking the right mouse button (RMB) for keyboard and mouse, X or K for keyboard, and B or Y for controller.
Tip: These will be mainly used to kill, or end combos!
All light attacks and aerial heavy attacks with weapons, and all unarmed attacks are shared universally, but grounded heavy attacks performed when holding a weapon are unique to the legend and weapon.
For example: Sword dsig on Sidra is different than her cannon dsig, just how Hattori's sword dsig is different from her spear dsig. Additionally, dsig on Sidra's sword is different than dsig on Hattori's sword.
Left to right, up to down: Sidra's sword dsig, Sidra's cannon dsig, Hattori's sword dsig, and Hattori's spear dsig.
Terminology:
Grounded Light Attacks:
Nlight / Neutral Light - Perform a light attack on the ground without holding a directional input, or while holding up.
Slight / Side Light - Perform a light attack on the ground while holding left or right.
Dlight / Down Light - Perform a light attack on the ground while holding down.
Grounded Heavy Attacks:
Nsig / Neutral Signature - Perform a heavy attack on the ground without holding a directional input, or while holding up.
Ssig / Side Signature - Perform a heavy attack on the ground while holding left or right.
Dsig / Down Signature - Perform a heavy attack on the ground while holding down.
Aerial Light Attacks:
Nair / Neutral Air - Perform a light attack in the air without holding a directional input, or while holding up.
Sair / Side Air - Perform a light attack in the air while holding left or right.
Dair / Down Air - Perform a light attack in the air while holding down.
Aerial Heavy Attacks:
Rec / Recovery - Perform a heavy attack in the air without holding a directional input, or while holding up.
GP / Ground Pound - Perform a heavy attack in the air while holding down.
Other:
AI / Active Input - Active inputs are an attack property unique to the Scythe, Battle Boots and several Signature attacks. The core concept of active inputs is that holding a different directional key after an initial hit will result in the attack finishing in a different way. Active input attacks only have two variant outcomes; one for holding the relevant directional key, and one for holding any other directional key (or none at all).
Barbecue Sauce - Describes the color of the health bar when a player is in really deep-red.
For example: Asuri at yellow health, and Mordex, Hugin (Munin skin), and Rayman at barbecue sauce.
Black Hole - A combo executed by two players to juggle a third player back and forth between
them continually. If spaced correctly, the trapped player has no opportunity to dodge or move away between the hits, and continues to accumulate damage until a final strike knocks the doomed victim off the stage. This technique has been made more difficult with the introduction of directional influence.
Bonk - Hitting the bottom of the stage when trying to recover, making it drastically more difficult to make it back to the stage.
CD / Chase Dodge - A chase dodge is a speedy dodge that can be performed after some attacks, allowing for a more aggressive play style and opening up combo possibilities.
Tip: The amount of chase dodges available after an attack lands depends on several conditions:
Two chase dodges if the player is touching the ground at the end of the attack - for example: most light attacks, grounded aerial attacks.
One chase dodge if the player is airborne at the end of the attack - for example: aerial attacks, spear dlight, sword dlight.
Zero chase dodges if the attack is a projectile signature.
For example: Yumiko chase dodging up and Lin Fei chase dodging up-left.
Combo - A combo (also called a true combo) is a type of a string where there are no dodge frames between attacks. This occurs when the stun of the first attack is longer than the recovery time of the first attack and the startup time of the second attack (plus 2 frames to account for dodge startup). Since the opponent cannot dodge in time, they are forced to take another hit.
For example: Isaiah performing the true combo dlight -> gp on Heatblast (Ada crossover).
DI / Directional Influence - If a player is stuck in a true combo and the same move is used more than once, they can change their trajectory by holding a directional input the second time they are hit by that same move.
For example: Ember is sent down-right after being hit by Diana's blaster nsig, which should have sent her up-right. This is because previously, she was hit with consecutive blaster dairs without any dodge frames in between attacks, and was holding right.
Dodge - Dodging gives you a few frames of invulnerability, allowing you to:
Avoid incoming attacks and thrown weapons and items.
Reposition yourself, i.e. gain height (by dodging up) or cover distance (by dodging left or right).
Move around more efficiently and safely.
"Setup" (bait) your opponent into thinking you will do a certain move, then dodging and attacking them while they are caught off guard.
Cancel momentum when you are sent flying through the air from an attack.
Perform your signature attacks in the air – see the upcoming gravity cancel section.
Dodges are continued in the next section...
Terminology Continued
Additionally, its length and cooldown is determined by what type you perform: Type Duration Cooldown Directional Air Dodge 12 frames (0.2 seconds) 60 frames (1 second) Grounded Spot Dodge 16 frames (0.27 seconds) 60 frames (1 second) Aerial Spot Dodge 20 frames (0.3 seconds) 163 frames (2.7 seconds) Chase Dodge 17 frames (0.28 seconds) 60 frames (1 second) Tip: Touching the ground 75 frames (1.15 seconds) after an air dodge will remove dodge cooldown. Touching the ground less than 75 frames after will set the cooldown to 75 frames. However, this does not apply to gravity cancels.
There are 9 directions to dodge: spot/neutral, right, left, up, down, up-right, down-right, up-left, and down-right. You can dodge by clicking shift for keyboard and mouse, Z or L for keyboard, and left trigger or right trigger (LT or RT) for controller.
Tip: Be mindful of when and where you use your dodge, as until you get it back, it can be impossible to escape your opponent's combo!
For example: Ada spot dodging a ssig from Onyx and Reno up dodging a recovery from Kaya
Fast Fall - Holding down while in the air to fall faster.
GC / Gravity Cancel - Input an attack within 18 frames of performing an aerial dodge.
For example: Diana is performing a gravity cancelled blaster dlight and Caspian is performing a gravity cancelled katar nsig.
Gimping - A gimp is when a player is knocked out, typically at low damage, because their recovery was interrupted by an attack.
Punish - Attacking/comboing an opponent after they performed a mistake or a bad dodge.
While some people may call it passive, it rarely hurts to take a moment, step back, and focus on punishing your opponent instead of landing the first hit.
Recovery Frames - The time it takes for an attack to end after it has been performed. The player can not move and is vulnerable during recovery frames.
Read - To "read" an opponent is to predict their movement/dodges, allowing the player to properly position their attacks. Some players may use the reads emote to gloat after an exceptional read.
SD \ Self-destruction - When you cause the loss of your own stock by accident.
Slide Charge - A slide charge is when a heavy attack is charged as the player is falling off the stage or a platform. To perform a slide charge, start charging a heavy attack near a ledge or the end of a platform, so that your momentum is enough to make you fall off it. This is usually done with a dash, as it provides a lot of momentum.
Tip: When done quickly enough, you can input the heavy attack in the opposite direction. This is called a reverse slide charge.
For example: Mako's greatsword ssig being slide charged off of a platform and Brynn's spear nsig being reverse slide charged off of a ledge.
String - A string is when a player lands multiple attacks in rapid succession on an opponent. Strings are a fast way to build up damage on the opponent.
Tip: Generally, strings use light attacks, as their fast startup and recovery times make it easy to chain multiple hits together. Spam - Using the same combo or move (generally signatures) repeatedly. Spamming is a mocked strategy as it can become predictable and leave you open for attacks. Sometimes losing players will accuse their opponents of spamming even if they weren't.
Stomp - Nickname for hammer's dlight attack.
For example: Cassidy and Magyar stomping.
Tilt - When a player enters a continual losing streak, caused by impatience, frustration and anger. This is self-perpetuating, and will most likely lead to more losses if a player continues to play while tilted.
Wall Hugging - Staying on the side of the stage for an extended period of time.
For example: Jaeyun hugging the wall to not engage Sentinel and Onyx hugging the wall in fear of Lucien's blasters.
Wall Slip - If a player performs 9 air jumps, wall jumps or recovery attacks without hitting an opponent, being hit, or touching the ground, they will not be able to perform air jumps, recoveries, or dodges until they touch the ground.
Tip: In this state, if you are hit off the wall, you will NOT be able to get back, additionally, past the final stage of wall slip, you will simply slide off the wall, being unable to perform even wall jumps.
For example: Zariel in the first stage of wall slip and Rick (Barraza crossover) in the final stage of wall slip.
Wake-Up Attack - Attacking immediately after getting stunned.
Weapon starving - Purposefully throwing away weapons drops so the opponent can't pick them up, essentially "starving" them of a weapon.
Weapon Throw - Weapons themselves can be thrown during combat using the Throw action, similar to Gadgets. Different thrown weapons have differently sized hitboxes, and can be charged to make the weapon throw faster, deal more knockback and more damage. All weapons have the same speed when thrown, excluding Hammer and Spear who have 0.85 and 1.1.
Tip: Keep in mind, it is possible to grab your weapon back after you throw it, but it will despawn soon after it touches the ground, or hits a player!
For Example: Wu Shang throwing his spear up-right and Volkov throwing his scythe right
Whiff - To miss an attack.
X-Pivot - An X-pivot is when your momentum is reversed from an attack that is done in a direction opposite to your current one. To perform an X-pivot, get a burst of enough momentum (from a dash, dash-jump, chase-dodge, or other) and quickly change directions and attack. If your attack has enough forward momentum, your momentum will quickly be shifted to the opposite direction, making it a good surprise attack.
For example: Cross performing an x-pivot on blasters with Snake Eyes (Thatch crossover) for position reference. As you can see, Cross jumps to the right, but moves to the left with the help of the momentum nair provides.
