Movement

7   8   9    The numeric directional input assumes that the player  
  \ | /    is facing right and corresponds to the number formation
4 - 5 - 6  on a keyboard's numpad. So in application, this makes 4
  / | \    act as "back", 5 - "neutral", 6 - "forward", and so on. 
1   2   3  All further directional notation follows this template.

• 6 Walk forwards
• 4 Walk backwards, if you are in range of an opponents attack you will instead block
• 1/2/3 Crouch, holding away from the opponent will cause you to crouch block if they attack
• 7/8/9 Jump, the direction pressed will determine the direction you jump
• 66 Pressing forward twice in quick succession will have you perform a dash based on your character
• 44 Pressing backwards twice in quick succession will have you perform a back dash
• j.66 Dash but in the air
• j.44 Back dash but in the air
• 1/2/3 -> 7/8/9 Pressing down then up in quick succession will cause you to super jump, jumping higher and faster than normal, alternate annotation is sj.
