Hint: Special items:

Hint: Orb items:
Once you reach the Conqueror rank in Kumite mode you will begin to face several opponents who are ranked as High Kings. Each High King has a colored orb that you can collect by defeating them. There are seven orbs in the following colors: crimson, green, purple, blue, black, orange, and white. After you collect them all, watch the screen and you will see the orbs merge together, forming a item chest. Note: While you are still collecting the orbs they will appear above your life bar, but when they form the item they will be gone. This trick can also be repeated by recollecting the orbs.

Hint: Kage: Ring out:
On arenas with low walls such as the City and the Palace, you can get a ring out even though they are closed arenas. Back up against a wall and perform Kage's throw that slings them way up in the air (Back, P + G). Your opponent will fly over the wall, giving you a easy and risk free ring out. This also works on arenas with breakable walls such as the Gym. It is also possible to chain the throw with Up, P + G to grab your opponent in mid-air and slam them outside the ring onto their heads.

Hint: Kage: Broken legs:
In two player mode, chose an open arena and have player one or two go to the edge of the ring. Press R2 to kick the other player out of the ring. When the player (Kage) hits the ground, jump on him. If done correctly you will hear a crack.
