Techniques were attacks and movements players could perform in battles in Shadow Fight 1. More techniques could be unlocked as players increased their Dan or reputation points. The following were the types of techniques available:
Basic Strikes[]
Basic Strikes were simple attacks players could perform on their targets. They gave less damage than the "Super Strikes" but were easier to perform.
| Image | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Straight Punch | It was one of the basic strikes which allowed the player to punch forward. In order to use this attack, players had to ensure that they were not too close to their opponent. It was a quick and fast punch, and made the opponent stumble backwards. |
|
Uppercut | The player crouched before doing an uppercut, making it effective against an enemy who was performing a punch directed towards the player's head, or when the enemy was performing a jump kick or was airborne and hurtling towards the player. In order to perform this attack, players had to press the Up Arrow Key + X key. |
|
Strong Punch | To perform this move, the players had to press the Right/Left Arrow Key and the X Key. It caused more damage than a normal punch. The player lunged forward and punched with their fists. However if the player missed, their reaction time for getting back to blocking position being slow, left them vulnerable to moves such as the Uppercut. |
|
Spinning Punch | In order to perform this move, players had to press the key of the direction opposing their character and the X key. It was a very fast attack, but could be dodged easily by using a low attack. |
|
Low Punch | When the move was performed successfully, it would cause the opponent to either move back or fall down. This attack worked well when the player was close to his opponent. |
|
High Kick | It was a fast, easy move that was stronger than a straight punch, but easy to dodge. This move could be performed by pressing the C Key. |
|
Front Kick | In order to perform this move, the player had press the key of the direction they were facing + 'C' key. The front kick was a kick that had a lot of range, did moderate damage, and was useful against the enemy when they were walking towards the player or sweep kicking. Players could easily take advantage of the high range. |
|
Back Kick | In order to perform this move, players had to use the key which opposed the direction the character was facing + 'C' key. It was a move that had a lot of range and was useful against the opponent when they were moving towards the player or performing a jump towards the player. |
|
Sweep Kick | In order to perform this move, the player had to use the 'Down' Key + 'C' key. This move was used when the opponent was standing. It made the opponent fall backwards and was useful for getting first strikes. |
|
Spinning Jump Kick | In order to perform this move, players had to use the 'Up' Key + 'C' key. This move was best performed while the opponent was performing a jump or a jump attack towards the player. This move could be dodged if the opponent crouched or used a ground attack. |
|
Front Jump Kick | In order to perform this move, players had to press the 'Forward' Key + 'Up' Key + 'C' Key. This move was best used when the opponent was standing or performing a jump. However, this move left the player vulnerable to attacks such as the Horse Kick and the Spinning Step Kick. |
|
Low Kick | In order to perform this move, the player had to stand close to their opponent and use the 'Down' key + 'C' key. This move was likely to make the opponent fall backwards. |
