War Machine and Iron Man are somewhat like Ryu and Ken from the Street Fighter series. Their move sets are very similar, but they have some differences to help distinguish the characters.

Special Moves

• Laser Shot •
War Machine ducks and fires a fast-moving laser from his shoulder-mounted gun.

(Can also be used in the air)
• High Shoulder Cannon •
Fires a rapid series of rockets at your opponent. The button strength controls the start up time and how many rockets are fired. Light Punch fires three rockets, which come out quickly. Hard Punch fires 5 rockets, but there's a slight bit more time before they appear on screen.

• Low Shoulder Cannon •
The same as the High Shoulder Cannon, except the rockets are released from a crouching position and they cannot be fired in the air.

• Repulsor Blast •
War Machine creates a laser ball above his head which shoots out beams all over the screen. This move can juggle your opponent multiple times.

(Can also be done in the air)
• Smart Bombs •
Pressing towards or backwards when you press the buttons will cause the bombs to either go further or travel less distance. This makes several bombs shoot out from War Machine's shoulder area, they start off high and slowly travel downwards.

plus any direction in the air
• Air Dash •
Simply hold in whichever direction you want to fly while jumping, then press the two punch buttons at the same time and you can Air Dash.

(Can also be used in air)
• Flying •
Makes War Machine fly around for a solid period of time. Good move. You can still use your other aerial attacks while Flying as well.

Hyper (Super) Moves

• Proton Cannon •
Executing this makes War Machine pull out a gigantic gun that shoots a large volley of rockets, which does good damage.

• War Destroyer •
Fires a lot of rockets into the sky and they come down on your opponent. Works best from close range because a beam surrounds War Machine while he's doing this, and it can hit the other fighter.

If you do this from far away, you can be hit out of this Hyper move while your rockets are flying up in the air.

Command Normals

(In the air)
• Jumping Hard Punch Beam •
You can control which direction War Machine shoots this beam, low, medium or high by pressing in the corresponding direction.

(In the air)
• Knee Dive •

(In the air)
• Up Kick •
