MOMENTUM STAMINA METER
Fill this meter completely to unleash a Blazin' move. Be careful, as running away from another fighter quickly drops your momentum level. You can regain momentum by standing your ground.

Each of the five fighting styles has specific advantages. You can pick one initially and add others at Stapleton Athletics.
Street Fighters
These fighters have powerful punches and kicks, making them dangerous. Their Haymaker is the most destructive attack.
Kickboxers
Kickboxers deliver powerful kicks. In close combat, they use deadly clinch maneuvers to grab opponents and unleash a flurry of elbow, fist, knee, and leg strikes.
Martial Arts
Agile fighters with insane quickness. They are masters of the environment, using walls, posts, fences, and speakers to deliver unpredictable knockout blows.
Wrestling
A combination of showmanship and technical grappling. These powerful fighters use incredible upper body strength for throws and body slams. While slow and susceptible to quick strikes, their grappling abilities are lethal in tight situations.
