Basic Q&A Thread

"It mostly depends on which move knocked you down."

Is there a thread on information about the wakeup game in general?

Can't tell if trolling, but my understanding is that certain "signature moves" for each character have the property of randomly generating a "clean hit" which increases damage.

It is the fighting game equivalent of a critical hit in an RPG, but only on certain moves.

See the incomplete thread here - http://8wayrun.com/threads/list-of-clean-hit-moves.9168/

I have some of the same questions as you. Special low means that it can be blocked high or low I think. I know that there was talk of a player making some tutorial videos, I believe they were going to call them "Quick Steps." I don't believe any have been made thus far.

One burning question I have is why does the SC community use the number notation system? I mainly ask this because the command lists for the characters have always been directional in-game. I'm not saying I'm too lazy to learn it I am just curious is all. But shit looks like a chemistry problem when I try to figure out combos. "8Ba+ Sb...8 moles of barium plus antimony... what?"

I remember there was a thread regarding to 8wayrun terms under the beginner section.. but i can no longer find it.

Natsu specific terms are found here (like possession stance):

Alright, these might be a bit odd of questions but first is this:
When I got SC5, I got the strategy guide with it and found in the guide these strange scanning squares placed randomly within the guide. Anyone know what those are for or what they do exactly?

And for my other question, where is the code to get Dampierre? He looks like a definite wildcard character but despite how the guide says it's a download code, I never got that on my receipts.
