Basics
This section will teach you the basic controls and ways to play!

Movement
In this game most movement is controlled by WASD.

Running is a core part of PVP. To run you must have running stamina remaining. You can press WASD twice or press ctrl to run. If you use WASD twice you will dash and start running at top speed straight away. If you use ctrl you will slowly gain speed till you are going the fastest you can go. Dashing also uses a very small amount of attack stamina.

Blocking
In this game blocking is an extremely powerful tool.

In SoulShatters you can block by holding f. When blocking you will either take no damage or the damage will be greatly reduced.

Perfect blocking is a different variation of blocking. In order to perfect block you need to block within a short time frame before being hit by the attack like lmbs. Perfect blocking stuns the opponent for about 1 or 2 seconds.

Some moves bypass block.

Moves
This section will teach about the basic mechanics of moves.

Basics
In soulshatters you can use moves by pressing the keys 1-9. Some moves change depending on your phase. Your moves use attack stamina (unless your new sans) which slowly regenerates over time (unless your new sans). Moves can be used to deal damage, heal, block or move the opponent.

Combos
In soulshatters combos are a huge part of PVP. A combo is a series of attacks where the opponent can't escape. Some combos have certain requirements.

Here is a simple combo

Gt chara: Full lmb combo- Determination 2

Most combos need a combo starter to begin like Gt chara Patience 1.

Combo extenders are moves that extend your combos into others. Here is an example

Delta sans: Lmb x4- Combat 1- Combat 3- Combat 2- Combat 5- Combat 4- Blaster 1.

Melees
In Soulshatters melees are attacks that deal small damage. All characters can use this apart from new sans. When attacking someone blocking your damage will either be greatly reduced or not be dealt. After finishing a full click combo on someone blocking they will be pushed back and stunned for a second.

You can perform melee clashing by using a melee at the same time as someone else both stunning and pushing eachother away.
