The orientation-based input is based off three things.

​

• The rotational yaw, where the player is looking, Split into top, mid, low. 1D

• The directional input they are pressing, split into forward, backward, left, right and neutral (for no direction input). 2D

• The action. Attack, move, block, etc.

​

This is combined to produce one of 12 versions of that action producing a 3D result in the direction they are indicating.
Each of these 12 move slots can be customized with a specific move to create new characters.

 

• F = Front

• L/R = Left or Right (usually a mirrored action to make either choice viable)

• B = Backward

​
