How to play
Each opponent telegraphs a punch before throwing it. Read the tell, pick the right defence, and the moment they whiff you get a window to counter. Drain a fighter's health to win the round and face the next, tougher challenger.
Defend correctly to avoid damage and open a counter window
Perfect dodges earn stars (★) you can spend on a heavy uppercut
Counters you throw early on are recorded and can be unleashed later as a programmed combo
Beat each opponent within the round clock

Origins
