Systems

Strings:
Most attacks have unique followups that can be performed on hit or block. Check out the in-game move list to see what's possible for each character.

Stamina:
A system unique to Genki Break. Below your health bar is the stamina bar. Most attacks/actions will drain some amount of stamina. Stamina slowly recovers when idle or walking. Stamina recovers quickly when downed. When you run out of stamina, you'll enter the Stamina Break state. In this state, getting knocked down with automatically lose you the round. You cannot recover stamina when in Stamina Break.

Adrenaline Rush:
By pressing Punch + Kick + Guard when your health is zero, you may regain a small portion of health and get back into the fight! Be careful though, attempting Adrenaline Rush costs a chunk of stamina, and if that attempt puts you into Stamina Break, you fail to get back up and lose the round!

Stamina Penalty:
If you end a round in Stamina Break or Adrenaline Rush, the next round you'll receive a Stamina Penalty. This penalty reduces your maximum stamina for the round.
