Character Hashtags

With the ease of posting videos and discussion to twitter, it can be helpful to know how to track this information down. Each character in the game has a specific hashtag which people should aim to use when posting tweets for ease of searching. Older character hashtags used "BBCF_XX" as a pattern, though sometimes things will still be posted with this format. As of CF2 the pattern was changed to was changed to "BBCF2_XX". The current list of hashtags is as follows:

Character	Hashtag
Ragna the Bloodedge	#BBCF2_RG
Jin Kisaragi	#BBCF2_JI
Noel Vermillion	#BBCF2_NO

Recognizing Invincibility

Notice the white circle?

When your character is attribute invincible to an enemy's, you may notice that a white circle will appear.

Note that it doesn't always show, for example, ground throws vs airborne opponents won't show this circle.

Instantly Stopping a Run

While running, a throw totally halts your character's momentum. This throw can be kara canceled into Barrier (done via [BC] > 4ABC) to immediately come to a stop, avoiding the sliding momentum that a regular Barrier run stop would have. The difference isn't normally worth it given the execution requirement but it could have situational applications or be used in precise spacing games.

Character Priority

Some mechanics in the game depend on priority, notably same frame situations such as throw trades. Character priority is determined by the latest player to strike the other, including with projectiles. The sprites of the character with priority will be displayed in front of the sprites of the lower priority character. This is inconsistent and priority can be gained or lost by doing actions such as walking or crouching.

Projectiles and dolls are always lower priority than characters. If a character's attack and a projectile hit on the same frame, the character's attack will be applied last. If a projectile and throw occur on the same frame, the throw will be applied after the projectile but will not purple.

Input Priority

When you press a button or multiple buttons, there are often various interpretations the game can make as to what move it should activate, if any. In order to feel consistent, and also to make inputs feel more responsive with mutliple buttons, the game uses a system of command priorities to ensure consistent move interpretation.

After pressing a button, the game tries to activate a move in this order:

Barrier
Overdrive/Exceed Accel
Counter Assault
Rapid Cancel
Astral Heat
Distortion Drive
Special move
Normal Throw
Crush Trigger
Normal move
Super Jump
Jump
Dash
Walk
Do nothing

^[1] Normally, pressing A+B+C at the same time will give a throw, see below

Within each category there is also a set of priorities:

If multiple buttons are pressed at the same time, the strongest one is read in preference, while still obeying the above order.
- For example, if you input 214 A+B+C while playing Ragna, you will get Gauntlet Hades (214B) since that overrides Hell's Fang 214A and Ragna has no special or higher priority move mapped to 214C.
For moves in the same category, move priority is determined by the order which moves are defined in the character script. In most cases, moves with more complicated/longer inputs have priority.
- For most characters, doing 6236 with a button or button combination that has both 623 and 236 specials as options will result in the 623 special.
- Mu and Makoto both have 236A specials with higher priority than their 623C. Because of this, inputting 6236A+B+C will result in 623C
For normals, there is a system of direction priority so that A move will always activate even if you don't hold the exact direction needed for it:
- When grounded; If you press a button holding a downwards diagonal direction and there is no move specific to that diagonal, the game will try to interpret that as just downwards (So inputting 3B will be interpreted as 2B rather than 6B)
- Similarly, if you're holding 6 or 4 and press a button and there isn't a valid move that needs that directional input (Such as Ragna trying to press 4A), the game will try to activate the direction neutral version instead (So Ragna would perform 5A)
In the air, things are quite different:
- Pressing any j.9X or j.7X without a specific move for that diagonal will try to do the j.8X version if there is one, if not, then the j.X5 Direction, it will not try j.6X or j.4X in any instance
- Pressing j.3X will give j.6X in preference to j.2X if there is both. Similarly j.1X will give preference to j.4X instead of j.2X if there is one. if there is no j.4X or j.6X move, then you will get j.2X
- This priority list also applies when giving commands to Ignis or Nirvana.

If for some reason, the game reads a valid input for a move but the player cannot activate it (For example, trying to activate a distortion drive without enough heat), then the game will try to activate the next move it can in the order of priorities and repeat this process as many times as necessary.

Kara Cancels

In order to make multi-button presses and other inputs a little easier, the game has some leniency when it comes to activating moves. Some moves can have their first 3 frames of startup cancelled into certain other actions, when performed from a neutral state (not cancelled into from another move). For most normal moves and throws, you can cancel into any action with a higher input priority; notably this includes Barrier Block, Overdrive and all specials/supers. (Certain normals such as Hakumen's Drives cannot be kara cancelled.) Crush Triggers can also be kara cancelled but only into Barrier, Exceed Accel and Overdrive. This can even be done if the first frames of a move are extended by a super freeze; if you are in the startup of an attack during the freeze of an opponent's reversal super or Overdrive activation, you may still be able to kara cancel into barrier or an invincible option of your own to avoid a punish!

Note that the buttons used in the move being cancelled aren't important. For example, it's possible to press 5A~B+C and kara cancel 5A into a throw, despite the throw input not containing the A button.

Certain moves may have the property that they can be cancelled into another specific move(s) on startup; mechanically, this is not the same thing as a normal kara cancel, though it is functionally similar. The window for these startup cancels will depend on the move.
