× A QUICK DRESS REHEARSAL
Put ’em up. Win two rounds to take the match. Knock out your opponent or have the most health when the 60-second clock runs out.
Hold guard to soften hits. Kicks reach farther than punches. Landing and blocking hits builds ink ; a signature move costs 35 ink . Popeye’s spinach restores a little health and boosts his punches for six seconds.
NEW TRICKS: Use your assigned Throw and Dash controls, shown above. Configure bindings in Options → Controls. Throws beat guard at close range. Punches and kicks work in the air. Connect a punch, then press kick or special to cancel into a combo. Mickey strikes quickly; Popeye trades speed for heavier blows.
CONTROLLERS: Stick / D-pad directions stay fixed; action buttons can be remapped in Options → Controls. Current bindings appear below the arena. Start always pauses. In menus A confirms and B goes back. Release buttons after changing screens.
ARCADE: Pick your star and difficulty, then clear six best-of-three bouts. The finale is a mirror match. Continue after a loss or resume your checkpoint from the roster. Clear the ladder for a character ending.
TRAINING: Select Training before starting. Choose Learn to fight for eight guided lessons using your saved bindings, or practice freely with combat feedback. Configure the dummy, recover health, refill ink, and inspect your inputs and combo damage. Use P1’s assigned Reset Training key/button to reset practice instantly.
Press Esc to pause. On a touch screen, use the buttons below the arena. Local two-player supports a shared keyboard or two standard controllers.

Stand, guard, jump, or spar with the CPU. Health recovery prevents knockouts and restores health after a string. Switch it off to practice knockouts; the bout resets automatically. Unlimited ink keeps specials available.
All practice readouts reset with P1’s assigned Reset Training key/button or the Reset button. Attack timings use 60-frame-per-second notation.

Base damage before guarding or spinach boosts. Timing uses 60-fps frame notation; recovery follows the last active moment (release for projectiles/spinach) and includes the shared attack cooldown. Projectile startup is release time, with travel time added before impact.
Guard softens strikes; throws beat guard. Jump to clear grounded attacks. Land a punch, then press Kick or Special during its recovery to cancel into a combo. Specials cost 35 ink.
