Build up tag meter by damaging opponents & taking damage. You can tag mid-combo, and the original character won't leave until the current action ends. If you tag while in hitstun, you'll perform a Counter Tag, causing the ally to perform their Crouch/Air Attack to break the opponent's combo.

Landing attacks can be cancelled into other attacks.
