Act can be picked on the character select screen. Mashing a single button carries a combo to its end, and the square and triangle buttons give different results: square launches the opponent into the air for an air combo, triangle pushes them across the ground toward the corner. Switching buttons mid-string changes the combo, so a ground sequence can be diverted into a launcher partway through. Special moves also come out with simple inputs.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"MELTY BLOOD: TWI-LUMINA is playable at TGS 2026.
