Hint: Only the game hoster will be able to control the menu (to avoid some mistakes); After each battle, it is necessary to wait for the closing screen with the fight score (F4 is not allowed). For the purpose of proving the battles carried out, the following can be used: • Screenshots of the fight score at the end; or • Recordings .lfr files; or • Confirmation by the loser one posting here in this thread.

LFE rules

LFE's Recommended PvP Rules

1) BG: HK Colosseum only. It is too easy to run away in LF2. 2) NO DRINKING Milk/Beer. Too much RNG and makes fights drag too long. 3) No Cheats Allowed. (lf2.net / F5-F9) Cheat Codes & overpowered units spoil the game. Louis DJA transform to LouisEX is allowed. 4) No infinite stunlock combos. Up to x1 stun/walljuggle extension allowed. 5) Only x1 [John/Dennis] D^A at a time. Chaseballs are frustrating to deal with. 6) Avoid doing >50~55% damage in your combos. Give players a chance to fight back.

Character-Specific Rules: a) Deep: -none- b) John: D^J/DvJ(heal) total x2 times. c) Henry: D^J(Flute) x2 times, press [D] before 3rd sound. d) Rudolf: D^J/DvJ(invis/clone) total x2 times. D>A(multistar) do not spam/press A. e) Louis: D^J(throw) press [J] up to x2 times. f) Firen: D>J+AAA combo must finish with super_punch/Throw. GroundfirePunch is extremely OP. g) Freeze: Up to x1 extra freeze(D^J whirlwind does not count). h) Dennis: Grab must DvA immediately; no extra kicks (too much damage). Do not use Grab+D>J (infinite). i) Woody: D>J(TigerDash) x2 times. j) Davis: D^A(DragonPunch) x2 times. Try escaping with D^J instead ;)
