DOA6's Supers are called Break Blows (useable with 100% meter) and DOA5LR's Supers are called Power Blows (useable once a round when below 50% health) Power Blows require a charge up to use (around 40+ frames) Critical Bursts can guarantee Power Blows For Directional Notation: 7 8 9 4 5 6 1 2 3 Each number represents the corresponding direction. 1 for "Down-Back", 9 for "Up-Forward", 5 for "Neutral" or no input, etc. Quarter-Circle Back = 214, Quarter-Circle Forward = 236, Half-Circle Back = 63214, Half-Circle Forward = 41236, etc. Legend: CH = Counter-Hit BT = Backturned Stance W! = Wall Splat DZ! = Dangerzone Splat SDS! = Sit Down Stun FB! = Floor Bounce CA! = Citizen Assist ( ) = Held Input : = Just Frame Input For Input commands: P = Punch K = Kick H = Hold/Guard Button T = Throw Button S = Special Button P+K = Strong punch H+K = Strong Kick H+P = Alternate Way to Input "Throw" H+P+K = Alternate Way to Input "S" Check out the DOA6 TopTierTips Guide Series: DOA6 - Advanced Guide Tutorial - Session #...
