TIPS AND TRICKS

When both fighters get in close, they lock-up into a grapple. Perform your move with Punch or Kick button (and optionally, any directional button) as their portraits at the bottom of the screen flash.

When an opponent is downed, approach them to mount them. Use Circle button to target the head or feet, then use Punch or Kick button to apply a submission hold. Not every fighter can perform submission holds with every possible combination or Punch, Kick and directional buttons.

Use Triangle button to escape a submission attempt and mount an opponent with the right timing. Circle button can be used to perform reversals against an opponent's punches and kicks.

Unlock a fighter's ending movie by winning all 15 matches in Exhibition mode. Once you unlock all ending movies, you unlock retired RINGS legend Chris Dolman. Complete Exhibition as Chris Dolman to unlock three Secret Guys for use in Versus and Practice Mode:

Top Left: K. Maruyama
Top Right: K. Satoh
Far Right on Center Row: Y. Takaoka

Chris Dolman is selectable in Exhibition, Versus and Practice Mode. Neither of the unlockable characters can be used in Tournament Mode.
