You have a variety of punches at your disposal, each one of your punches has varying amounts of speed and power. By holding down the triggers you can block either high or low. A successful strategy involves the right amount attacking combined skilful blocking and avoiding. In Rumble 2 you can now parry attacks, if you successfully parry an incoming attack, your opponent is off-balanced and ready for some severe punishment.

This rumble meter can be filled up three times over and if you manage to hit someone with this level 3 attack you’ll send them flying out of the ring. It’s the small touches that make this game. After you knock someone down you now have a few seconds to get a few unnecessary overkill shots in.
