MECHANICS

SHOCKLIVE WIRE adds 26 frames of stun on a standing hit, once per combo.
ROOTGROUND FAULT roots the other fighter for 30 frames after the stun: no walking, running or jumping, though guarding still works.

UNIQUE MOVES

Frames are at 60 fps, from the animation's own timing. Damage is before ELECTRICIAN's 0.95x damage stat. On block is about right, before any string follow-up. Tap or hover a move to replay it.

STRATEGY

How to beat ELECTRICIAN's own moves. Here → is toward ELECTRICIAN 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.

LIVE WIRE

→ 1

It's a mid, so stand-block it. Crouching gets you shocked.
Blocked, →2 (the lunge cross) punishes. He's pushed back too far for most other buttons.
It's too quick to out-press once you see it. Block it, or parry it with →.

GROUND FAULT

↘ 3

Crouch-block it. It's a low, and a standing block gets stamped.
Blocked, →2 punishes.
It only reaches about one step. Hold ← from just outside that and it misses.
↘ parries it.

SHORT CIRCUIT

2, 1, 2CROSS › JAB › SHORT CIRCUIT

Stand-block the opening cross. It pushes you back far enough that the jab behind it falls short, and the string dies there.
Press snap kick (3) as you come out of blocking the cross. It lands before his jab does.
Crouching from the start works too. The cross is a high and goes over your head.

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

CELEBRATION

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

PERFECT

Win a round without taking a hit and ELECTRICIAN ends it with LIVE CIRCUIT FLICK: the beaten body goes into the camera, hits the glass and squeaks down it.

LIVE CIRCUIT FLICK

Up by the collar while the tester hand gives it a few jolts (the body jitters), then a flick at the camera; the boogaloo wave after.

stamped on the glass: GROUNDED

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).
