BUILD THE HYPE!
As players attack and take damage they build a resource meter known as Hype, which can be used in multiple ways.
Breakers
Players can spend 1 bar of Hype on a Breaker to push opponents away while being attacked and instantly recover from hitstun or knockback. Performing a Breaker within the first 8 frames of the first hit of a combo will activate a Red Breaker which costs no meter to use!
Hype Cancel
While attacking, players can spend 1 bar of Hype on a Hype Cancel, allowing them to instantly end an attack’s animation. This allows for new setups and options that wouldn’t otherwise be possible. With Hype Cancels, players can perform stylish combo strings and optimize their damage output, or even make a quick escape if necessary.
Hype Factor
With two full bars of Hype, players can activate Hype Factor. This activates a special state where health slowly regenerates, and movement speed and damage output are increased. No Hype is generated while in Hype Factor, so be careful when using Breakers or Cancels as they will cut into your Hype Factor time.
