Song Wars 5 is a landscape game — the full stage, the D-pad on the left and the action buttons on the right need the width.
Blocking cuts punch/kick damage to 1 and stops knockback — but a throw grabs straight through block. You can’t attack while blocking, and you can’t block in the air. The PW meter fills as you fight: landing hits fills it fastest, taking hits fills it a little. Lv1 unlocks the throw (it never costs meter). Lv3 unlocks your fighter’s signature special — it spends the whole meter.
