UNIQUE MOVES

Frames are at 60 fps, from the animation's own timing. Damage is before WELLNESS COACH's 1.03x damage stat. On block is about right, before any string follow-up. Tap or hover a move to replay it.

STRATEGY

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

TREE POSE

← 1

The pose has no guard. Hit her while she's standing on one leg: up close any button works, and the cross (2) or →2 reaches from a step back.
Out of it she picks a mid (CRANE KICK, 4) or a low (ROOT SWEEP, 3). No block stops both, so don't stand there waiting to find out.
Holding ← walks you out of the kick's reach, but the sweep is longer and can still catch a standing block up close.
If she steps out with EXHALE (2) nothing comes at you. Right next to her a jab (1) catches the step out. From farther back she has recovered first.

CRANE KICK

← 1, 4out of TREE POSE

It's a mid, so stand-block it. Crouching gets you launched, blocking or not.
Blocked, she's open: snap kick (3) or →2.
It comes out the instant she presses, so once she's in the pose don't wait for it. Hit her first, or parry it with →.

ROOT SWEEP

← 1, 3out of TREE POSE

Crouch-block it. It's a low, and it reaches farther than the kick.
It's the slow one of the two, but don't wait to see it. A body blow (→1) or a snap kick (3) thrown while she's still in the pose beats it.
Blocked, →2 punishes.
↘ parries it.

SUN SALUTATION

1, 3, 4JAB › SNAP KICK › SUN SALUTATION

Stand-block all three hits.
Blocked, she's stuck for a long time. As soon as you can move, the cross (2) or →2 punishes.
Or crouch from the start. The first jab goes over your head, the string stops there, and a low kick (↓3) punishes.

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

CELEBRATION

Win the match and WELLNESS COACH breaks into this under the WINS banner.

PERFECT

Win a round without taking a hit and WELLNESS COACH ends it with SALUTE TO THE LENS: the beaten body goes into the camera, hits the glass and squeaks down it.

SALUTE TO THE LENS

Lifted overhead and held there in tree pose, then a long pushing exhale that sends it up and out at the camera; then a bow.

stamped on the glass: NAMASTE

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).
