The first three are self-explanatory, but itвЂ™s worth describing the attack attributes in a bit more detail.Д«asic Attacks - determines how strong your strikes and Ki blasts are. There are six attributes you can increase. You characterвЂ™s attributes determine how you do in battle and how you want to fight. There will be time portals that will take you back and forth between areas, what youвЂ™ll need to do is lock on to the portal and then press Circle when youвЂ™re close enough. Some missions will allow you to go between areas. If you see an item, go next to it and press Circle to pick it up. This will allow you to see hidden items in an area or hidden enemies. You can also use the Up button on the control pad to open up your scouter. You can revive other characters to recruit them and help you on your missions. But be careful, you are unprotected while trying to revive your teammates so do this when the coast is clear. Stand next to the body and a gauge will appear that signals you are reviving them and youвЂ™ll have to wait till itвЂ™s full. You can revive them by simply going over to their fallen body and locking onto them. They will assist you to defeat an opponent but sometimes they will be knocked out. Some missions will allow for you to have allies in battle. This is an easy way to get out of devastating combos but will require a bar of stamina, so be mindful of how much stamina you have. If you find yourself being attacked, you can use an Evasive Skill or simply press X to vanish behind your opponent. While youвЂ™re on the ground or in the air, you can flick L2 while tilting the left analog to do a sidestep to avoid Ki blasts. If you press X while doing this powerful dash, youвЂ™ll automatically show up behind your locked on target. If you press X and L2 at the same time, youвЂ™ll do an even more powerful dash, but be aware that this will drain one stamina bar from your stamina gauge (weвЂ™ll go in-depth about stamina further down). This will allow your character to fly through the air much faster for exploring each area or to get into battle that much quicker. Press L2 and the left analog to do a boost dash. Press and hold the left analog stick to descend. Hold down X to ascend, which will cause your character to float and move in the air.

However, most of your fighting will be done in mid-air, so youвЂ™ll need to acclimate to fighting while airborne. You can go underwater with no need to worry about oxygen levels. These are rather simple commands and you can explore enough of each area by foot. Your stamina gauge will also slowly fill up as you go, and this determines how much you can dash or use your vanish abilities. This gauge will slowly fill up on its own, but youвЂ™ll need to obtain a Power Charge Super Attack to charge your gauge faster. The Ki Gauge determines if you can use your Super Attacks. In the top left-hand corner is your health bar, Ki gauge and stamina gauge. The item menu during battle Photo: Bandai Namco
