All Stars - Reversal System Guide

(NOTE: R1 / L1 = PS3 and RB/LB = XBOX 360)

• Blocking

  Blocking is essential for success in this game.
  A defensive strategy can bring you honor and fame.
  Hold down the RB/R1 to block quick attacks,
  Be forewarned: no effect on grabs or aerial acts.
  

• Counter (Strike)

  Press RB/R1 before you are hit,
  Unless it's a strong or charged, for you'll get lit.
  

• Counter (Grab)

  Press LB/L1 before a grapple,
  But not when they're charged, else you'll be made into a new Snapple.
  

• Counter (Aerial Attacks)

  Press RB/R1 or LB/L1 when your opponent is in the air,
  If pressed before he connects, you'll make him wish he never dared.
  

• Mid-Move Reversals

  When you see the icon, press LB/L1 or RB/R1.
  You'll gaze in amazement when you witness what you've done.
  

• Reversals off of Reversals

  Reversals off of reversals are tricky to do,
  But if you hit LB/L1 or RB/R1, you've mastered it, dude.
  Just press the button when you see the icon prompt,
  And you'll see a hole in the body you just stomped!
  

• Reversal Blockers

  You can block a reversal attempt by paying close attention,
  Just hit the correct button when the icon on the screen is mentioned.
  Press LB/L1 or RB/R1 at the right time to show
  That you're the best All Star that you'll ever know!
