STRATEGY

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

WET FLOOR

→ 3

Crouch-block it. It's a low that slides in from far away, and a standing block up close or a jump gets swept.
Blocked, he's on the floor for over half a second. The cross (2) or →2 punishes with time to spare.
↘ parries it.
You can beat it to the punch: a body blow (→1) thrown as he starts lands first. A roundhouse or a sweep only trades.

MOP SPIN

← 3

It's slow. Jab (1) the moment he starts to turn and you hit him first. A throw (1+3) works too.
Or hold ← and walk back. It only reaches about one step, so it whiffs, and the cross (2) punishes.
Don't crouch. It's a mid, and it knocks you down whether you're crouch-blocking or not.
Jumping doesn't avoid it either.

AISLE 3

3, 3, 3SNAP KICK › SNAP KICK › AISLE 3

Stand-block it. All three kicks are mids, so crouching eats the whole string, blocking or not.
Up close there's no gap between the kicks, and after the last one he's out of reach. Block it and let it go.
From the very tip of his kick, hold ← and the string falls short.

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

CELEBRATION

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

PERFECT

Win a round without taking a hit and JANITOR ends it with MOP-HANDLE DRIVE: the beaten body goes into the camera, hits the glass and squeaks down it.

MOP-HANDLE DRIVE

A mop-handle golf swing: he takes it by the ankle, addresses the ball, a full backswing and a drive at the camera, then holds the follow-through.

stamped on the glass: FORE!

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).
