Ougon Musou Kyoku/General Mechanics
General Mechanics
This section is mostly for the remainder of Ougon system oddities that don't quite fit into other sections.
Health
Health in this game is determined by combining both of your character's health values (from 800 to 1650) and multiplying that number by the amount of bars used (Either 2/yellow, or 3/blue) to get your total health. For example, if you pick Beatrice and Battler, you get 1400+1400, 2800 per bar, 8400 health on 3 bar mode.
Combo mechanics
Combo scaling is pretty friendly in Ougon Musou Kyouku compared to other games, and the options for extending combos are plentiful. Unfortunately, most of the modifiers are not public knowledge, but the general rundown is:
Scaling based off amount of hits
Flat scaling amount applied by dash canceling (70-80%?)
Flat scaling amount applied by stun (50%?)
As such, it is preferable to avoid putting dash cancels in your combos until as late as possible.
Injury/Red health
The flashing grey health portion of your health bar is your red health, ala Capcom fighters. To recover it, you must normal touch into your opponent, as all other touches remove all red health. The recoverable health slowly decreases over time. Recoverable health disappears as soon as the opponent knocks you into a new colored health bar. Jessica's ability, Shave Boost, reduces the amount of red health gained from chip damage.
Counter Hits
You can get a counter hit by attacking the opponent and hitting them while they are in their attacking or recovering animations. Counter hits give you extra hitstun or extra damage. If you counter hit the opponent in the air, you are able to juggle them in the air twice where otherwise you would only be able to do it once.
Example (without a Counter Hit):
- Erika hits the opponent in the air and air combos.
- Erika lands on the ground and opponent just recovered from the hitstun but is still in the air.
- Erika attempts to get another juggle combo but it whiffs.
Example (with a Counter Hit):
- Erika hits the opponent in the air and air combos.
- Erika lands on the ground and opponent just recovered from the hitstun but is still in the air.
- Erika attempts to get another air combo but it hits, since the opponent is in a counter hit state.
