MECHANICS

Nothing special: the shared rules, played straight.

UNIQUE MOVES

TEMP has no unique moves. Every shared move and every shared string, exactly as the game started: the baseline every other fighter is measured against.

STRATEGY

How to beat the strings every fighter shares. TEMP has no moves of its own, so this is the page for all of them. Here → is toward TEMP 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.

ONE-TWO

1, 1, 2JAB › JAB › CROSS

Stand-block all three, then punish the cross with your own cross (2) or →2.
After you block the first jab, low kick (↓3). It goes under the next punch and hits first.
Crouch from the start and the first jab goes over your head. The string stops there, and a low kick (↓3) punishes.

FLASH ROUNDHOUSE

1, 1, 2, 4JAB › JAB › CROSS › FLASH ROUNDHOUSE

Stand-block all four. The roundhouse at the end leaves him open for the cross (2) or →2.
The roundhouse is slow to arrive. After you block the cross, a sweep (↓4) goes under it, or tap → to parry it.
After you block the first jab, a low kick (↓3) goes under the second one and hits first.
Crouch from the start and the first jab goes over your head. The string stops there, and a low kick (↓3) punishes.

TRIPLE JAB

1, 1, 1JAB › JAB › JAB

Stand-block all three, then jab (1) or cross (2) back. He's open after the third.
After you block the first jab, low kick (↓3). It goes under the second.
Crouch from the start and the first jab goes over your head. The string stops there.

ONE-TWO KICK

1, 2, 4JAB › CROSS › ROUNDHOUSE

Stand-block all three, then punish the roundhouse with the cross (2) or →2.
After you block the first jab, jab back (1). His cross is slow to follow and yours lands first.
The roundhouse is slow too. After you block the cross, sweep (↓4) under it, or parry it with →.
Crouch from the start and the first jab goes over your head. The string stops there, and a low kick (↓3) punishes.

UPTOWN

1, 2, 3JAB › CROSS › UPTOWN

Stand-block all three, then punish with the cross (2).
After you block the first jab, jab back (1) or low kick (↓3). His cross is slow to follow.
Crouch from the start and the first jab goes over your head. The string stops there, and a low kick (↓3) punishes.

NEON TORNADO

1, 2, 3, 4JAB › CROSS › UPTOWN › NEON TORNADO

Stand-block it. Blocked, the launcher at the end never comes out: the string dies after the third hit, and your cross (2) punishes.
After you block the first jab, jab back (1) or low kick (↓3). His cross is slow to follow.
Crouch from the start and the first jab goes over your head. The string stops there, and a low kick (↓3) punishes.

CROSS SNAP

2, 3CROSS › SNAP KICK

Stand-block both hits, then punish the snap kick with your own cross (2).
Or crouch from the start. The cross goes over your head, the kick never comes, and a low kick (↓3) punishes.

SPIN HEEL

2, 1, 4CROSS › JAB › SPIN HEEL

Stand-block the opening cross. It pushes you back far enough that the jab behind it falls short, and the spin heel never comes.
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, and a low kick (↓3) punishes.

CRESCENT

3, 3, 4SNAP KICK › SNAP KICK › CRESCENT

Stand-block it. The kicks are mids, so crouching eats the whole string.
The crescent kick at the end is slow enough to parry. Tap → as it comes around.
Blocked, he's open for the cross (2) or →2, if you press it right away.

LOW RUSH

↓1, ↓1, ↓3LOW JAB › LOW JAB › LOW KICK

It's all lows, so crouch-block the whole string. A standing block gets hit.
After you block the first low jab, press the cross (2). It lands before the next one.
If you block all three, the cross (2) or →2 still catches him, but only if you press at once.

GROUND RUSH

↓3, ↓3, 4LOW KICK › LOW KICK › RUSH KNEE

Crouch-block it. The two low kicks push you back far enough that the knee after them misses.
Then he's stuck, and anything lands: jab (1), cross (2), whatever you like.
A standing block gets kicked in the shin, and crouching without blocking takes all three hits.

SKY SPIKE

↓2, 1, 2, 4UPPERCUT › JAB › CROSS › SKY SPIKE

Stand-block it. It opens with an uppercut, which is a mid, and crouching gets you launched into the rest.
After you block the uppercut, jab (1) or snap kick (3) back. The punches behind it are slow to arrive.
If you block all four he's stuck for a long time. As soon as you can move, punish with the cross (2).

RISE AND SHINE

↓1, release ↓ 3LOW JAB › RISING KICK

Crouch-block the low jab, then stand up to block the kick. He's still recovering after it, and the lunge cross (→2) punishes.
Blocked, only the lunge cross (→2) reaches him. A plain jab or cross is too short.
From a step out, stand-block and the low jab misses: the kick never comes. A sweep (↓4), the overhead (→4) or →2 punishes the miss.

CELEBRATION

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

PERFECT

Win a round without taking a hit and TEMP ends it with TWO-HANDED HEAVE: the beaten body goes into the camera, hits the glass and squeaks down it.

TWO-HANDED HEAVE

A clumsy two-handed heave: he gets the body up by the collar, swings it back between his knees, heaves it up and over at the camera and staggers after it, then a stunned fist in the air.

stamped on the glass: CONTRACT ENDED

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).
