GAME SCREEN
1. Signature / Finisher: Press R2 + ◻️ / R2 + ✖️ to perform your Signature / Finisher.
2. Finisher Meter: Each filled segment represents a Finisher stock. You can spend a stock to perform a Finisher. If you have a Super Finisher assigned, that can be performed by spending all 3 stock.
3. Limb Damage: Moves deal Damage to specific body parts. As your limbs take damage they’ll turn from yellow to orange, to red. The more damaged your limbs are, the more susceptible they become to submissions that target those parts.
4. Vitality: Attacks deal Vitality damage. After avoiding damage for a few seconds, your Vitality will begin to recharge.
5. Special Meter: A full Special Meter can be used to perform a Signature move. When your Special Meter is higher than your Vitality, you can spend it to perform a Payback ability. When grounded, you may be prompted to perform an action such as Quick Getup or Possum attack – this will spend the highlighted portion of your Special meter.
6. Payback: Your primary Payback ability is shown here. If you have 2 Paybacks assigned, you can toggle which one is primary by pressing ↓. You will be prompted to perform a Payback with R2 + △ when it is available. If both Paybacks are available at once, then only your primary ability is prompted.
7. Stamina: Attacks and movement cost stamina and is restored over time. When you are out of stamina certain attacks and movement cannot be done.
8. CoolDown: When you are knocked down the cooldown timer will let you know when you are expected to get up.
9. Danger: In KO matches a DANGER indicator will display letting you know you are at risk of being knocked out.
10. Managers: Each manager within a match will display their own vitality bar.
