Movement and Metagame

Block: Hold back or down-back, which will be 4 or 1 if facing right and 6 or 3 if facing left.

Auto-block: Block back against a low-hitting attack or down-back against a high-hitting attack. Your character will flash red briefly if they auto-block and there will be significant spirit loss. Note that mid-hitting attacks can be blocked either way without penalty.

Superjump: A jump that goes farther and lower than usual. Can be done as 27 or 7D to jump back, 28 or 8D to jump straight up, or 29 or 9D to jump forward (facing right).

Graze: Any state where your character has trailing blue shadows is considered a graze state, in addition to graze attacks and certain special moves which possess graze frames. The following states will universally graze: ground dash (both), air dash (both), recovery frames of airtech, superjump (all).

Airtech: Press any button in the air once hitstun has ended. If you do not attempt to attack, the game will auto-block for you until blockstun ends, regardless of the airtech's direction.

Groundtech: Hold D and press 4 to roll back or 6 to roll forward (facing right), after hitting the ground and before you recover. If you cross up by groundteching past your opponent, directions will not reverse immediately; Wake up moves are executed as if you are still facing the direction you were as you began the groundtech.

Declare Spellcard: Once per round, you may press 22D to make your character's chosen spellcard (super) available for use, while also replenishing all dark red health on the edge of your current health. There is a vulnerable start up before the flash and background change, after which you will be temporarily invincible.

Use Spellcard: 236D. Some characters can do 214D: Marisa Kirisame, Sakuya Izayoi, Yukari Yakumo.
