Movement

Walk - Use the U/D/L/R keys to walk around the field. The only movement that does not drain stamina
Dash - Tap UU to dash towards your target. Dashes may be controled with the U/D/L/R keys after the dash has started
Sidestep - Tap LL or RR to sidestep
Backstep - Tap DD to backstep
Jump - Hold down the J key to jump, and release to stop jumping
Airdash - While in the air, either tap U/D/L/R twice, or hit J+(U/D/L/R) to start airdashing. May be controlled after the dash has started
Quick Recovery - When you are knocked to the ground but still hittable (as the juggle counter isn't reset), you can recover quickly by holding the jump or guard key just before your character lands on the ground. Be careful: Your character will leap backwards while the juggle counter is completely reset, and so can be struck at full damage/combo while you are unable to do anything. This is similar to ground recovery in Melty Blood.

Attacks

Attack - Hit Attack to perform a normal attack.
- Combination Attack 1 - Perform the first combination attack by hitting the Attack key repeatedly.
- Combination Attack 2 - Perform the second combination attack by hitting the Attack key repeatedly. This starts when the first attack is canceled from the landing animation of a jump.
- Command Attack - Command attacks are performed by hitting (U/D/L/R)+A. Different characters have different command attacks.
- Dash Attack - Hit Attack while dashing
- Sidestep Attack - Hit Attack during a sidestep. You may also perform this while dashing by holding U+R or U+L to attack.
- Jump Attack - Hit Attack while jumping
- Airdash Attack - Hit Attack while air dashing. Note that not all characters have a true air "dash" attack.
Shot (Black Ranged) - Use S to perform a shot attack. Note that not all characters actually shoot a projectile.
- Charged Shot (Yellow Ranged) - Hold down the S button to charge, and release when the yellow bar is full to perform a CS. This can cancel from almost any action, and consumes some of the charge bar.
- Full Charged Shot (Red Ranged) - Hold down the S button to charge, and release when the red bar is full to perform a FCS. This can cancel from almost any action, and does not consume any bars at all. There is no time limit to hold the FCS.
Special - When the Oyashiro/Friendship bar is full, hit the Special key or A+S to activate it. Note that since the Special key is just A+S, it is not possible to activate Oyashiro/Friendship while charging a shot. When a Hypermode is activated, some characters may perform special attacks with this button too. Check the character list to see who has special moves.

Others

Guard - Hold the guard button or A+J to guard against attacks in front of you. Continually drains stamina, although successfully blocking something stops the drain for a second.
CPU Mode - Tap the CPU Mode button to cycle through the CPU partner behavior. Only available when your partner is CPU controlled.
