Drag the stick. Up and down sidestep.
A light, B medium, C heavy, D kick.
Move: A / D · Crouch: S · Jump: W
Sword attacks: U / I / O or J / K / L (light · medium · heavy) · Kick: ; (semicolon)
Modifier: Spacebar (or Right Shift) — hold with the moves below
Sidestep: hold Space + W / S — circle around your opponent for as long as you hold it; the camera follows and a committed swing whiffs past you
Roll: while sidestepping, double-tap W or S — a quick invulnerable tumble in that direction
Throw: Space + light — beats blocking, use it on turtles
Specials (free): S then D + attack · S then A + attack · D + one button · each fighter's own button string. The button you use sets speed and power. See them all on the pause screen.
Super (100 meter): Space + heavy
Specials in STICK: tap SP, then swipe. Specials with the blade (mouse / thumb / right stick): hold Space (on a phone: tap SP) and swipe. The swipe's shape picks the slot: forward = quarter-circle-forward, back = quarter-circle-back, up = the button string, down = the forward + button special, a circle either way = Super. An un-armed swipe still cuts exactly as before.
Block: hold A · Low block: hold A + S
Dash / backdash: double-tap D or A
Pick up weapon: stand over it, any attack
Forward and back are always relative to your opponent. The ring is round: push against the edge and you slide along it.
Move / jump / crouch: Arrow keys

Pause: Esc / Start · Gamepads are supported for both players (Xbox, PlayStation, generic; hot-plug). Menus: D-pad or left stick + A to pick, B to go back.
Seven or eight fights each. Every tower is harder than the last.
