While in your dash/run state, you can also move vertically by continuing to hold forward, then moving up or down on the vertical plane as you would normally.
Everybody can dash/run by tapping forward in the direction they are facing twice, OR this can be shortcut with a quick b,f (back, forward, then hold forward) motion.

One of the best parts about the boss-fights was the opportunity they offered for tag-team play - for instance, against the first boss (a standard grappler type), I could land a dashing special to free Golem from an attack and then he could follow it up by juggling the boss.(All commands listed are assuming the player is facing right!) I appreciated that I could use all of my moves on (almost all of) them - it's always satisfying to piledrive a towering monster of meat. Yourself: There was nothing all too impressive on the boss front - these guys were in fact on the easy side. The one woman's freezing move especially came in handy in this regard I could freeze one group of enemies, then turn around to handle the others. If I was going to dedicate myself to a lengthy move, I either needed every enemy in my range or everyone outside of my range to be far enough away that they couldn't get to me. That said, enemies were aggressive enough that I needed all my ducks in a row to pull off a combo. Golem: I often felt overpowered when taking on crowds, since it was possible to clear out swaths of foes all at once. This kept the player from ever gaining a solid footing in combat, making them constantly react to the introduction of new opponents. A typical conflict would ambush the player with a weapon-based foe (the fire-breathing alligators, the riflemen, the grenade-rappellers), then before they could clear the screen, bring in some brawlers to pound on them (anything from the standard goons to the speedy cockroach-men), then hit with another wave of ranged/splash damaging foes. Yourself: These were structured waves - each enemy had enough personality that you couldn't throw more than three or four types together without the entire game breaking down. I was definitely most reminded of games like TMNTIV and X-Men that use a lot of projectile and knock-down enemies. I can't think of any enemies that really stood out as totally unique to this game, but they covered a lot of good ground - stationary gunmen who liked to line-up and create a wall of bullet-hail, giant alligator monsters who breathed wide swaths of fire and grabbed the player (requiring hit-and-run tactics), and robot-men who did bombing run fly-bys that needed to be swatted out of the air. Yourself: I don't think anyone had a lunge forward with a sword so that is just outright misinformation. Really the only sense in which these AREN'T fighting game controls is that there is only one attack button rather than the three to six seen in arcade fighters of the time.
The move variety here is on par with '90s fighting games like Street Fighter II or Fatal Fury - each character has a unique set of specials (down-up+attack, left-right+attack, jump-jump+attack, etc.), a unique projectile (mapped to its own button), a handful of combo variations (performed by holding the joystick in any of the four cardinal directions while mashing attack), multiple throws (directional or jumping), and a block. Yourself: This is where Guardians 'is the cake' so to speak. There aren't many beat-em-ups where I lose my character as often as I did in Guardians - it doesn't help that some enemies (and even one or two player characters!) are half the screen tall and a quarter of it wide, blocking a ton of real estate from view. That might look great on the drawing board or in a screen cap, but in practice the action is unnecessarily difficult to follow. So what we're going to do henceforth (starting with Guardians) is play each game twice - once from beginning to end as a 'demo' play (so that we can tell you about all the characters and stages and bosses) and a second time as a 'pro-run' with a fixed number of credits to be determined by our performance on the demo play.

A game can seem unfairly hard before you learn how to play it. There have been aspects of certain games (particularly the entirety of Growl) I've felt we may not have 'got' because we weren't trying hard enough to play well, or at least weren't being forced to. I haven't been super-happy with the occasions on which this's led us to write 'there might be more depth to the bosses, I didn't have enough time to learn in one playthrough'.
Questionnaire.WEEKLY BEAT-EM-UP BREAKING NEWS ANNOUNCEMENT:So far Golem and I have been sitting down and playing these games from beginning to end in one sitting for the first time ever, just quarter-feeding our way through. That's why Golem and I are taking on one classic arcade-style beat-'em-up a week and bringing you this.
