Kalkstein is probably the third most complex character, after Isabella and Father Zera. User Scot.Dos said that “string” might be a better term than “combo” in this case, but unfortunately I’m not familiar enough with fighting-game terminology to know for sure. He can also use (Y, X) and (X, Y), but they count as “chains” instead of “combos” because the attack animations don't change. For example, Laszlo can use (A, Y) and (B, B), and they count as “combos” because the attack animations change. Lots of attacks can be chained together with each other, but they only count as “combos” if the attack animations change.

I am defining a “chain” as a series of attacks which flow together naturally but the attack animations do NOT change. Chains: I am defining a 'combo' as a series of attacks where the attack animations change for the second (and sometimes third) attacks in the series. They are also shown as if you are Player 1 on the left side of the screen.Ĭombos vs. This is a complete move list for all most characters, including some special moves and combos which aren’t listed in the pause menu.Īll button presses are shown as if you are using an XBox controller, or at least one with the same buttons, like the Logitech gamepad I use. I just can't find any motivation to add move lists for the two newest characters, Alexander and Marta. AUTHOR'S NOTE: as of, I don't plan to make any further changes to this guide.
