How these guides are written
Every guide on this site is written by the same team that builds the games, which means the mechanical claims can be checked directly against the code rather than inferred from playing. Where a guide states a specific number — a combo window of 2.2 seconds, a gap capped at 62 percent of jump distance, a shield that absorbs exactly one hit — that number is taken from the game's configuration, not estimated.
We do not invent statistics, cite studies we have not read, or make claims about psychology or player behaviour that would need research to support. Where a guide describes how something feels, it says so. Our editorial policy and fact checking policy set out how this works.
