Move Commands

All moves can be done with a single button press—there are no joystick motions like quarter circles or 360s. Simply getting your moves to come out should not be part of the challenge.

Input Buffer

When you press a button slightly before your next move is allowed to come out, we know what you meant to do. Your next move comes out as soon as it can, thanks to our generous 8-frame input buffer.

You're Playing the "Real Game" from the Start

When you reach expert-level play, the game does not devolve into being about input bugs,

L-cancels, kara-cancels, plinking, charge partitioning, 1-frame links, or other things you didn't sign up for.
