Attacks

Using attacks in this game is no different than its predecessor. You will eventually be capable of binding new attacks to buttons. Here's an example of how it looks when you start out:
A:Follow
A+up:Follow
A+right:Follow
A+left:Follow
A+down:Follow
The attack translations are very poor so I'll just list what each button does, what it loses too, and what it beats. Confusing words but you'll understand after readind below.

A: Ki Blast
Beats headbutt, and loses to punches and kicks

B: Punch/Kick
Beats Ki Blast, and loses to counter attack

X: Headbutt
Beats counter attack, and loses to Ki Blast

Y: Counter Attacks
Beats punches and kicks, and loses to headbutt

AX: Mega Ki Blasts(Kamehameha/Masenko)
Very powerful attack, beats all normal attacks but loses to paralizing attacks

BY: Paralyzing Attack(Taiyoken/Rage)
Makes opponent disoriented for a while, beats Mega Ki Blasts but loses to normal attacks

Hold LR: Power Up
Increase your power

Press LR: Kaioken
Only Goku can use this after King Kai's training. When fully powered up, hit L and R repeatedly to increase your power at the cost of HP. It can be used up to 20 times but wears off after a few turns

If you still don't understand, I'll give you an example. If I attacked with Punch/Kicks and my opponent attacked with Counter, I'd get hit. And vice versa. Another example for tying. If I used Punch/Kicks and my opponent used Punch/Kicks, you'd see a small scene of the characters fighting. Neither opponent would take damage.
