How to Play Circuit Clash

The goal

Trade blows up a ladder of original fighters in best-of-three rounds, building your super meter to unleash special attacks.

Circuit Clash is a one-on-one fighting game in the spirit of Street Fighter and Tekken, built around an original cast of cartoon fighters (Volt, Crusher, Null, Gridlock, Ember, Axiom) so nobody here is a copy of anyone. You battle up a rival ladder in best-of-three rounds against a 45-second clock, each round won earning a pip.

Controls

• Arrow keys to walk, jump, and crouch
• Punch and kick attack buttons (press both together for your special when the meter is full)
• Block by holding away from your opponent
• On mobile, use the on-screen movement and attack buttons; P or Esc to pause

Strategy and scoring tips

• Block low and punish. Let the AI over-commit to an attack, then counter during its recovery frames.
• Bank your super meter for a guaranteed opening rather than firing a special the instant it fills.
• Jump-ins are risky against fighters who throw projectiles. Walk in behind a blocked shot instead.
