Finisher Distances Explained:
Close: Right next to your opponent.
Sweep: A couple of steps away (close enough to land a sweep).
Outside Sweep: Just beyond sweep range.
Half Screen: About one jump distance away from your opponent.
Full Screen: As far apart as possible (opponent at the other side of the screen).
Anywhere: Distance doesn't matter, can be any range (outside sweep or further works best).
Note: When (Hold BL) is shown in italics for Fatality inputs, it means that holding BL is optional.
The Fatality will still work without holding BL, though it may be easier if you do.
Just remember to release BL before pressing the final button in the Finisher combo.
