Once your Rage Art is activated the game will play a cutscene, where your fighter issues a final warning to your opponent. When Rage Art is activated you can stand a few more of your opponent’s blows. And if you hit your opponent before he gets another chance to hit you, you will be going back home with a KO to boast about.
