The player must have a full D-gauge (since a Dead End would drain a full D-gauge).The opponent must have at least 25% health left (red life meter).The current round must be at match point (one win left).However, to do a Dead End, the lyer must fulfill the following conditions: A Dead End attack is similar to an Astral Heat in BlazBlue in that would instantly end the match. Each character has two Burst special moves, as well as one Dead End attack. The game features a power meter of sorts, called the D-gauge, when the D-gauge is filled, the player can do a Burst special, which works like the Distortion Drives in BlazBlue. The game features a unique button system, with four buttons, three of them are basic attacks (weak, normal, strong) while the fourth button, the special button, allows the player to do a special attack dedicated to the character, just like how the Drive works in BlazBlue.
