In Tag Battle mode only, two characters can execute tag combos together.
These may be initiated by either character. The moves available depend
on the character combination. However, tag combos cannot be
employed, when one character has already been knocked out.
* Some character combinations have their own special tag combos.
This mode is for one player, and involves fighting against the computer
until all your health is used up. Points are accumulated in accordance with
the clear time and various items that appear during the game, and the
goal is to have the highest total score at Game Over. In this mode, your
health is partially restored at the end of each round. The key to earning
points is to minimize damage while fighting, and to take advantage of any
chances for points that come your way.
If and when a Survival mode battle ends and your score is within the top
ten, you can record your name. See "Name Entry" (page 21).
*Surprise-attack combat OK
*You cannot Continue in this mode.
*The game will finish at Time up or in the event of a Draw
.
SURVIVAL MODE
Danger Reach
If you set off a danger explosion during a game, in addition to earning
3,000 points, you will enter bonus time known as Danger Reach. During
Danger Reach, you can increase your score significantly, such as by earn-
ing double the normal points for items or earning extra points for strikes
and throws. Set off another danger explosion while you are in Danger
Reach to continue Danger Reach status. Your ability to maintain Danger
Reach will be a major factor in achieving high scores.
*There are many other ways to earn points, such as time bonuses and appeal
bonuses.
