Hidden goof rewards:
--------------------
Some of the game's secrets shown in the achievements list are actually goof 
rewards. These vary from Loss Streaks to Rank Demoting. 

Easy wins with Jann Lee:
------------------------
Try to land a critical punch or kick to the enemy's head. If not accomplished, 
make use of quick countering or blocking to land a firm blow. Then when your 
enemy is hit off balance for a few seconds, keep throwing random critical blows 
to the head region mainly, and mix it up slightly to the body and legs. If you 
can do this and include fast combos in between your rhythm, you should be able 
to keep the enemy off the ground desperate for making successful blows. You 
should be able to do this technique with simple combos. Make sure that your 
rhythm is broken, meaning attack at different times without staying in a similar 
pattern and keeping your blows mostly critical. If you can do this a lot, you 
should also be able to switch it up with fast combos making it almost impossible 
for your opponent to counter. Remember to execute critical blows to the head 
mainly, mixed with fast combos and quick blows to the body. Keep your rhythm 
broken so it is impossible to counter (no repetition or repeating the speed of 
blows), and make sure to keep your guard up. Do not allow the enemy to hit you 
unexpectedly, or they may confuse you with the same trick. Try to at least 
counter when you lose balance in the match.

Health Food:
------------
In Survival mode when you deliver a blow to your oppenent. When thier laying 
down or when you finish them off. If they drop a food item even candy and you 
pick it up it will restore some health. The amount of health you regain will 
depend on the food item you pick up. 

Combat strategy: Patterns:
--------------------------
Whether against the CPU or online opponents, recognizing patterns does a lot for 
you. Online players tend to fall in love with specific combos, which can be 
thwarted at the beginning by beating them to the punch (or kick as the case may 
be), or countered at the end with a reversal since the last move can usually be 
predicted.
The reverse is true as well, especially online. Make sure you mix things up as 
much as possible. Remember, many combos start out the same but can end very 
differently. Try to make sure you change up not only your combos, but the ends 
of each combo to keep your enemy on their toes. 

Combat strategy: Separate entities:
-----------------------------------
More than in the series' past, each fighter offers their own unique style. Do 
not think that just because you are dominant with Bayman that you will find 
equal success with Bass (or Spartan-458, for that matter). Treat each character 
as separate entities and you will find more success. 

Combat strategy: Sparring:
--------------------------
The sparring mode has been vastly upgraded, so learning each characters 
strengths and weaknesses, and mastering their litany of combos, is easier and 
more intuitive than before. You can choose any stage you have unlocked and spar 
against any character you want (just like before), but you can also set specific 
actions for your opponent to undertake and even select which stance they use. 
You can also go through each combo one by one, setting the game up so it ticks 
each combo and move off the list as you successfully complete it. 

Combat strategy: Context sensitivity:
-------------------------------------
You can now use the environments to your advantage by not just knocking someone 
through a window or down a staircase, but also by employing context-sensitive 
actions. For example, you can leap over a barrier towards an opponent and lay 
down a special attack, use special acrobatic moves off of walls, and 
context-sensitive throws near hillsides and stairways. You need to practice 
extensively with your favorite characters to make good and strategic use of 
these moves, but they warrant the extra effort. 

Tag Moves:
----------
Tag-ground move: Press RT + LT + Up + Y + B.
Switch attack: Press RT + LT + Forward + Y + B.
