MECHANICS

Nothing special: the shared rules, played straight.

Drops the shared GROUND RUSH string.

UNIQUE MOVES

Frames are at 60 fps, from the animation's own timing. Damage is before ACCOUNTANT's 1.04x damage stat. On block is about right, before any string follow-up. Tap or hover a move to replay it.

STRATEGY

How to beat ACCOUNTANT's own moves. Here → is toward ACCOUNTANT and ← is away, 1 2 3 4 are your buttons, and ↘ is down and toward. Every tip was scripted against the move in the game, with a TEMP doing the answering, and kept only if it worked.

FINE PRINT

↓3

Crouch-block it. It's a low, and it's too fast to interrupt.
Blocking it doesn't give you a turn. He recovers first, and nothing you press afterwards catches him.
↘ parries it, but only as a guess: it lands almost as soon as he presses.

WRITE-OFF

↓3, 3, 2FINE PRINT › SUB CLAUSE › WRITE-OFF

Crouch-block the first two kicks, then stand up: the last hit is a mid. Staying down gets you knocked over, and a standing block loses to the first kick.
Better, after you block the second low, press snap kick (3). It beats the last hit.
The second kick is slow to arrive. A low jab (↓1) thrown a beat after you block Fine Print gets there first.
If you do block all three, a jab (1) or a snap kick (3) punishes.

BALANCE SHEET

↓3, 4FINE PRINT › BALANCE SHEET

Crouch-block Fine Print, then stand up and block. The second hit is an overhead, and it hits you if you stay down.
Once both are blocked, jab (1) punishes.
After Fine Print he can go low again (WRITE-OFF) or overhead (this), and both land at about the same moment. Up close no button covers both, so it's a guess.

ACCOUNTANT still has most of the strings every fighter shares. How to beat those is on TEMP's page.

CELEBRATION

Win the match and ACCOUNTANT breaks into this under the WINS banner.

PERFECT

Win a round without taking a hit and ACCOUNTANT ends it with PRECISE UNDERHAND: the beaten body goes into the camera, hits the glass and squeaks down it.

PRECISE UNDERHAND

A precise underhand toss: he lifts it, takes a measured half step back, sights the lens down a pencil, and lobs it underhand with bent knees; then the tidy fist pump.

stamped on the glass: AUDITED

STRINGS AND ENDERS

Press in rhythm: each press goes in during the last hit's recovery. Damage is for the whole string landing on TEMP, with combo decay. Stamina is the bar it spends, out of 100.

Also shared, with no button of their own: parry, a tap toward the other fighter just before a hit lands (↘ for a low), which costs nothing and leaves the striker reeling; getting up, where ↑ stands, ← or → rolls, and a button is a wake-up strike; and air recovery, a button at the right moment while juggled that lands you on your feet (right at the start of the window, with a jab).
