Dashes

LEFTLEFT or RIGHTRIGHT

All characters (except Condor) can dash by tapping forward or back twice. Some characters have backdash invincibility and dash cancels.

Throw

(LEFT or RIGHT) + C

Throws are powerful due to the absence of throw teching. They can also interrupt close jump-ins.

Combos

Breakers features generous input buffers and versatile Super juggles. Every action builds meter, and each Super consumes 1 bar.

Back roll

A+B+C

After a non-super hit, press 3 buttons while knocked down to back-roll and escape okizeme setups.

Dizzy

Taking repeated hits causes dizziness. Mash directional inputs and buttons to recover faster. Recovery grants brief invincibility.

Chip damage

Blocking special moves inflicts chip damage which can KO. Supers deal minimal chip damage.

Break

Interrupt certain combos with a reversal throw or special. Use breakable combos for damage and unbreakable combos for safer pressure.

Risk system

Comeback mechanics in Breakers:

Damage + Defense boost on low life
The player with more health takes increased damage until the life bars equalize.

Damage boost by waiting
Up to double damage on your next hit.

Match winner penalty
The winner takes more damage, while the loser gains defense. The effect stacks with each win.



Bonus

Additional modes

Chicago and Extra modes

Chicago Mode
