GAME FUNCTIONS
•
++ = double damage (when Rage Meter is full)
Tech Roll
You can quickly get up when knocked down by tapping the Block button upon hitting the ground. Timing is crucial.
Dash
Double-tap the directional buttons in the direction you want to move.
SELECT
(Story mode only.) In the Hubs, press SELECT to bring up the Chambers Screen. (See page 10 for more details on the Chambers Screen.)
Health Meter
The long green bar below your character's name indicates the amount of remaining health. When you are hit, the amount of damage will briefly turn yellow, then disappear. When your health bar is depleted, your character loses a life.
Rage Meter
In combat, your character will increase its Rage meter by inflicting damage on other characters, and by blocking their attacks. The Rage meter is the red bar located underneath the health meter.
When all four buttons are pressed at once (+*+), your character will go into "Double-D" mode. All attack damage is doubled in this mode. An aura of swirling energy balls will indicate Double-D mode until the Rage meter runs down to empty and the effect wears off. If your character loses a life at any time, the Rage meter resets.
Life Meter
The number of yellow dots indicates the number of lives your character has remaining in that match. For example, if you only have one yellow dot remaining and your health bar is depleted, game over!
GAME RESET
To abort a game in progress, press the START button to pause the game. Choose Quit from the menu to return to the Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style title screen.
SOFT RESET
You can reset to the Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style title screen at any time during game-play by holding down SELECT, then pressing and holding START for two seconds. Performing a soft reset will change all game options back to default. You will also lose any Chambers that have not yet been saved.
