These were the basics to get an edge in battle. You need to know that some characters have powerful special skills, which you can use to cause vast amounts of damage or increase your attack power. You can use these skills by holding down the up key plus either the X key or C key depending on the move and character. By mastering this, you can beat your friends and claim to be the best Z fighter there is.
