If you are using an edited character, insert a Memory Card with that character's data. Select CONTROLLER to control the character yourself, or CPU to instruct the computer to play both characters in CPU Random or CPU Logic.
VS MODE
Battle a friend for fighter supremacy. Select your characters and the data for their movements (as in Normal Mode). If the battle is between two edited characters, insert a Memory Card for each character.
OPTION
Adjust various game settings. See the following page for details.

Tips & Maps
USE THE BEGINNING AND ENDING OF A MOVEMENT TO CREATE THE TRANSITIONAL PHASES.
Create the key poses, and then create the transitional poses so that the movements flow smoothly.
DOWNWARD TRAMPLING ATTACK
Set HOMING to REAL TIME, which will automatically synchronize the X coordinates of the location where you land to the opponent's position, to a certain extent. Preset an appropriate flight distance, since you cannot set the Z coordinates (flight distance) to an automatic homing setting. The hit point setting should be on the generous side.
PROVOCATIVE POSE
This will take effect even if your opponent is standing. The balance will be better if you set a longer DELAY time. The key to a pose that provokes an opponent is to set a small amount of damage (equivalent to a standing punch).
CROUCHING DASH
All you need to do is set damage for a punching sequence to NONE, set POSTURE to LOW, and edit a sequence that shifts the Z coordinates.
JUST FOR FUN
For throwing sequences, you can also set your opponent's movements. Using this capability, gain experience by creating irrelevant movements like scratching your backside.
