Power-ups and skills are an intrinsic part of almost every fighting game. They have multiple uses. Smaller power-ups can be used to keep an opponent at bay or as a quick follow-up to injure a retreating fighter. Others are there to overwhelm an opponent in order to weaken or even defeat them in a barrage of moves. Whatever they are, they’re a vital skill to learn and can often be used by a player to turn a near defeat into a comeback.
