LOCAL RULES

HOW TO LITIGATE

MOBILE

Move and jump with the left joystick. Use the four right-side buttons:

  • P Punch
  • K Kick
  • P + K Throw
  • G Guard / Perfect Objection
  • S Special / Breaker / Procedurality
  • Moore Fun: flick a direction before S; mash P or K for a named 3-hit doctrine

KEYBOARD

  • A / D Move
  • W Jump
  • S Crouch
  • J Punch
  • K Kick
  • L Guard
  • I Special

SPECIALS

Direction or a held action changes the Special button:

  • Neutral / Forward / Back / Down / Up + S Five distinct motions
  • Hold P + S EX punch filing
  • Hold K + S EX kick filing
  • Hold G + S EX defensive filing

MOORE FUN pricing: ordinary filings generally cost 10–17% meter and EX filings start at 28%. Meter regenerates throughout the hearing and faster across long range.

COMBAT DOCTRINE

  • P → P → K / K → P → K / P → K → K Buffer three-hit precedent strings
  • P + K together Character-specific throw
  • Double-tap toward Dash into jurisdiction
  • Tap G at impact PERFECT OBJECTION
  • While hit: hold G + tap S APPELLATE REVERSAL · 40% meter
  • After a confirmed hit: tap S AMENDMENT CANCEL into the armed special

Later hits scale down rather than deleting the entire credibility bar. Crouching and airborne attacks have distinct reach, damage, and launch behavior.

CLOSING ARGUMENT → DEPRAVITY

Win one round and reduce opposing credibility to zero. A dark shroud freezes the arena. When CLOSING ARGUMENT appears, press SPECIAL once to enter your character-specific DEPRAVITY.

FULL GORE enables the complete blood, bone, dismemberment, stage-prop, and aftermath pass. ARCADE BLOOD reduces debris. CLEAN RECORD substitutes purple ink and paperwork.

FROM ARCADE TO RECORD

Moral Kontempt is satire. The documentary record behind the wider project is told in Carpooling to Hell: A Father’s Journey Through Maine’s Family Courts.

2P LAN LITIGATION

Use two devices on the same home Wi-Fi or phone hotspot. Player 1 hosts and shows the invite QR. Player 2 scans it, then shows the return-answer QR. Player 1 scans that back. Both parties choose fighters, mark ready, and litigate.

No account or permanent room is required. Guest networks may block device-to-device traffic.
