The next screen shows each character's results. When each player has selected their character, press FIRE to continue. Two options are displayed; HANDICAP and STAGE SELECT. Player One can move up or down to highlight either option. HANDICAP - When this option is highlighted, both players can select an attack level which determines the level of damage a player's kicks and punches will do. The higher the attack level the greater the damage. This allows two players of differing skills to contest an even match. STAGE SELECT - Using this, Player One can select the match location, and start the match by pressing FIRE. After a match, the screen displays each player's record against each character. This is when Player One can press FIRE to continue, quit, or erase the records. To continue, both players return to the Player Selection Screen and repeat the process. The Option Mode allows you to modify certain parts of the game. When the title screen appears, press up or down to move the marker next to OPTION MODE and press FIRE.

Back Defence and Defensive Crouch positions are used to block attacks. 2. Wait for your opponent to make a mistake and then attack. 3. Use your Special Moves as little as possible. They can leave you vulnerable. 4. A Fireball nullifies a Fireball. 5. If your opponent becomes dizzy, inflict as much damage to him as possible. 6. Practice using all of the characters. You will learn quickly their strengths and weaknesses. 7. Back Defence and Defensive Crouch positions block Special Moves, but be prepared to lose a little energy. 8.
