[edit] Unlocking the Hidden Desperation Moves

In order to perform Hidden Desperation -Moves, they must be unlocked first.
To do that you need to press + + + + at the start of the round as soon as the GO!-sign appears on the screen. If done correctly, your name will turn from white to green. You are now able to perform Hidden Desperation-Moves.

[edit] Basic Information

• Hidden Desperation-Moves can only be performed once per round
• The input procedure for the Hidden Desperation-Moves is divided into 2 parts:
  • the first part activates the input code, this is signaled by the flashing of your characters name
  • the second part is the actual movement for the Hidden Desperation-Move, this part must be entered directly after your name starts flashing and must be finished before the flashing endes
