Shot Meter 12 On The Field On The Field 13 POWER METER The Power Meter is the heart and soul of Soccer Slam. Learn to master it, and you will control your destiny on the field. When you generate enough Power Points to completely fill the meter you'll have enough power to attempt a Killer Kick ­ the most devastating move in the game! Power Points Just about every move on offense is worth a fixed number of Power Points. By simply playing the game, you will slowly fill up your meter. Power Meter lights up as you score Power Points. When Power Meter is filled, you can perform a Killer Kick. Move Power Points Pass 10 Shot 10 Protect Deke 15 20 Hit 20 Steal 20 KILLER KICKS When your Power Meter is completely full, it flashes KILLER KICK! to indicate that you now have this overpowering shot in your arsenal. The more Killer Kicks you can manage in a game, the better your chance of destroying the competition. To take a Killer Kick: 1. Hold the R Button and the A Button at the same time. The ball is lobbed high into the air, a green circle appears on the field beneath it, and you take control of the pass recipient. 2. Move your player into the circle and Press the B Button once the green cone of light appears. 3. Before your player connects with the ball, Control Stick toward a corner of the goal to aim the shot. When the player connects, he or she sends an explosive shot toward the net. To fill up your meter more quickly, chain together different moves for maximum points. As long as you perform successive moves within three seconds of each other, you can string four moves into one combination, which will be tallied at the end of the combo, and each different move adds a 2x multiplier to the total. Examples: Steal (20) + Pass (10) + Shot (10) = 40 x 6 = 240 Power Points. Steal (20) + Deke (20) + Protect (15) + Shot (10) = 65 x 8 =520 Power Points. Power Ups Any time you have power in your Power Meter, you can Power Up the player you are controlling. Each team has its own signature power source, but the effect is the same: players become stronger and faster and better shooters. · To Power Up a player, press the L Button. The Power Up continues until you release the L Button or the Power Meter runs out, whichever comes first. If you're saving up for a Killer Kick, lay off the Power Up moves. It is very difficult to fill up the Power Meter when you continue to use it up bit-by-bit. 14 on the field Camera Settings on the field 15 SPOTLIGHT SHOTS Every once in a while when you're on offense in your opponent's half of the field, a spotlight image of your team's logo flashes across the field.
