Top FINAL FURY Pro-Tips from the Dev Team
Alright, fighters, listen to your coaches!
We wanna get you ready for the big fight—so it’s a good thing you got us in your corner! The devs recently sparred for an internal tournament and we collected some of the best tips from our own FINAL FURY champs.
Here we go, in no particular order
🥊Normal Moves
- It’s fun to punch as fast as you can, but don’t get too carried away! Punches won’t stop an opponent from grabbing you if your reflexes aren’t fast enough to counter them..
- Always be blocking! Don’t forget to put your arms up—block those incoming shots.
- Stay light on your feet! Always be ready to dash to dodge a grab and counter grab.
🥊Special Moves
- Ranged attacks cancel each other out: Tempest’s Arctic Blasts and Glitch’s Tac-Bombs, for example.
🥊Neutral / Spacing
- When in doubt, space it out. This one takes a little bit of practice (and some patience), but keep in mind the range of your opponent’s attacks before you go in swinging. Oftentimes, the fighter who plays the neutral game the best will come out on top.
- Classic fighting game tactics work! Try to bait an attack (like a throw or an Arctic Blast) from your opponent, then punish them as soon as they whiff!
- Be unpredictable! Don’t fall into a pattern; that’s a one-way ticket to getting yourself KO’d.
🥊Tempest
- Arctic Blast like a pro! Form your hands to one side like you’ve got a snowball, then push out like you’re launching the attack!
- Try to be blocking constantly so it becomes much more comfortable to do the Artic Blast by moving your hands from the blocking position to the side of your neck.
- Artic Blast is more of a defensive ability than an offensive one, since Tempest's strong point is maintaining a constant attack.
🥊Glitch
- Glitch has weaker punches, but a long reach. Use them to keep your opponent at bay.
- Glitch’s Tac-Bombs don’t hurt you! Use the trigger zone as a kind of shield. You can get closer to opponents and damage them if they go in for a grab.
- Glitch’s Tac-Bombs can be shot BEHIND your opponent. Apply enough offensive pressure, and you might be able to back them into the bomb’s trigger zones without them realizing it
