Recording Function
In Training Mode, you can record and play back the actions of opponent characters.
This function has two modes: Standard and Reversal. Standard allows you to immediately play back the recorded action, while Reversal replays the actions after the opponent recovers from taking a hit.
| Recording | Set to Standard or Reversal. |
|---|---|
| Reversal | Reversal settings determine what actions will trigger the opponent's recording to replay. |
| Recording Slot | Set a playback slot for recording. Each mode allows for a maximum of five recordings. |
| Slot 1 | Set whether to replay actions recorded to each slot. Turning on multiple slots will play them back at random. |
In Standard mode, pressing the Record button (L3 on PS4™/PS5™ or the left stick button on Xbox Series X|S by default) lets you control the practice opponent and record their movements.
Press Record again to finish recording. Press the Play button (R3 on PS4™/PS5™ or the right stick button on Xbox Series X|S) to replay the recorded actions. Also, setting a Repeat button in Button Config lets you play the recorded actions on repeat.
In Reversal mode, pressing Record starts a 3-second countdown, starting the recording when said countdown reaches zero.
After recording, press Play to play back recorded actions at the time of recovery. Playback must first be triggered by specific player actions outlined in the settings.
