Info DISCLAIMERThis list is a general guideline and should not be used as an end-all-be-all to beat certain characters. All characters have access to homing moves, and many characters have a variety of moves that will track to their "weak" side. Your moves will be predicted and punished pretty easily if all you're doing is trying to step around your opponent to their weak side the entire fight. Furthermore, this list is a work in progress. NOTATION SSL - Step to your character's left. Done on 1P side by quickly tapping the d-pad/joystick UP and letting it return to neutral OR on 2P side by quickly tapping the d-pad/joystick DOWN and letting it return to neutral. A successful SSL causes your character to step in a clockwise direction. SSR - Step to your character's right. Done on 1P side by quickly tapping the d-pad/joystick DOWN and letting it return to neutral OR on 2P side by quickly tapping the d-pad/joystick UP and letting it return to neutral. A successful SSR causes your character to take a step in a counter-clockwise direction.
