Roman Cancel
Cancels your attack, sends a shock wave and slows down your opponent’s movement. You can use it while attacking to strengthen your attack or use it defensively to resist your opponent’s attacks. Roman Cancel is a mechanic that can add depth to your matches, depending on how you use it.
Wall break
Take your opponent to the edge of the stage and release a certain attack to break the wall and take him to a different stage with a flashy scene. Not only will they take additional damage from the blow, your character’s attack power and other stats will increase for a limited time.
