***INTRODUCING PHASE 3!!!!!!!!!!***

(now with more exclamation points)

We got two player! Woop-woop!

Pressing the Select button joins the game.

Pick your character by pressing Start.

Benjamin/Bison are the same character with the same moves:

Hold away > Towards + Punch = Crusher

Hold Down > Up + Kick = Somersault Kick

Rapid Kick button = Hundred Spike Kick

Rob/Ryu are also the same character with the same moves:

Toward > Down > Toward+Down > Punch = Flying Uppercut

Down > Down+Away > Away + Kick = Tornado Kick

Down > Down+Towards > Towards + Punch = Fireball

Two players can select the same character, the second player to select the character will get an alternate colour palette on their character.

Some known bugs to be mindful of:

The big one is that sometimes the game recognises controllers / players have joined without the player pressing the Select button. This means the game thinks two players have joined when only one has and this prevents the fight from even starting.

Solution: Restart and try again. Plug in the controller if using Bluetooth or use Bluetooth if plugged in. Some trial and error may be necessary. Once the game gets its &%$# together you shouldn't encounter the same problem even after rematches.

Another occasional bug sees characters not 'grounding' appropriately, meaning they stay in the jumping animation even after they've landed.

Solution: If the character is hit or does a special move that will straighten things out. (this is one of the first things I'm going to fix in the next version, I just wanted to get this out)

Finally, there is a minor  bug where only the player that pressed Select first in the current fight can select “Rematch” after a fight is finished. Regardless of whether they won or lost.

Solution: Just be aware that whichever player pressed “Select” first in the match is the player that needs to press “Start” to get a rematch.

I haven't added any new combos, so the ones I know work are for Rob/Ryu:

Crouching Light Kick > Crouching Medium Kick > Crouching Heavy Kick

Tornado Kick > Fireball

Flying Heavy Uppercut > Tornado Kick > Fireball

As mentioned before this is less of a demo and more of a proof-of-concept, as I'm planning on using this in a platform adventure with a fighting game styled input system, instead of a fully-fledged fighting game.
