Breaking System

The Breaking is an advanced technique for interrupting and countering your opponent's special attacks. To successfully perform a “Breaking”, the player must anticipate the special attack and perform a precise command at the moment the attack hits. If the “Breaking” is successful, the attack is cancelled and the player can counter-attack. Breaking adds a strategic dimension to combat, encouraging analysis and anticipation. Mastering “Breaking” is essential for punishing abuse of special attacks and creating combo opportunities. However, it is a risky technique that can leave the player vulnerable if it fails.
