There are four primary tools for attacking;

H - Heavy Attack: Strong but slow attacks

S - Secondary Attack Has unique actiosn in Down+S and Air Down+S, and the universal Grab/Airgrab in Stand+S

Every attack buttons have 3 variations that can be performed;

Standing - Pressing L, M, or H whilst standing will results in a standing attack.

Crouching - Pressing L, M or H whilst holding down will result in a crouching attack.

Jumping - Pressing L, M, or H whilst airborne will result in a jumping attack.

Special attacks are universal options that are shared among the roster and vary in functionality to every characters. Standing and jumping special acts as this game's universal grabs. Performing crouching special will results in the character's unique action (usually in the form of activating their character-specific mechanic or a low attack)

On the other hand, special moves are powerful attacks that can only be performed usually through pressing a combination of directional keys + a specific attack button. (Ex. 236L would mean Down-Forward + L in succession) (Only apply to Classic Controls; Special moves are instead performed by pressing 1/2/3/4 in Modern Controls)

Defense

Holding down the block button (or holding back) will result in reducing incoming damages. However, most attacks must be blocked in a certain way; Standing block against high (or overhead) attacks, and crouching attack against low attacks. Mid attacks can be blocked either way and certain attacks are defined as "unblockable".
