What's good about the move, however, is that the opponent doesn't have to be in the danger zone when you start it.

If you try the move before the opponent is low on health, you'll only get in a few knee strikes before your opponent shrugs you off. It takes about six or seven knee strikes to initiate the final attack which is strong enough to KO your opponent-to get to that last attack, your opponent must already be relatively low on health (1/3rd of a life bar or less). Then, attack with varying knee strikes by pressing the kick button and any direction on the left thumbstick.

Hold the power modifier and press the grapple button to initiate the attack.

KICKBOXERS Kickboxers get KOs through their own brand of power grapples.

You can perform variations of the power grapples by pressing any direction on the left thumbstick and punch or kick. From there, press either punch or kick to execute a power grapple that will KO opponents in the red. Hold the power modifier and press the grapple button to initiate the power grapple.

WRESLTERS Wrestlers can get KOs by using power grapple moves.

Each style has its own feature method of scoring KOs on opponents in the danger zone. The five core styles of fighting in Def Jam FIGHT for NY are more than just for looks. If your opponent is in the red the moment you land with your jumping attack, they'll take a hard KO. Then, press either punch or kick from atop the object to leap off and deal a devastating blow. To get on top of the object, press the run button near it. Another form of environmental attack that will KO red-bar opponents is jumping from the top of objects, such as the corners of the Stapleton Center.

ENVIRONMENTAL ATTACK Use a grapple toss to stun an opponent against a wall or other environmental object, and press grapple again to perform an environmental attack that will knock him out (if he's in the danger zone).

Press grapple near an enemy and then tap any direction on the right thumbstick again to execute the attack. Then, activate blaze by tapping any direction on the right thumbstick. To execute a blaze attack, wait for your momentum meter to fill (under your health bar).

BLAZE MOVE Attack an opponent with your blaze attack while they're in the red and they'll eat a KO.

WEAPON STRIKE Nail an opponent with any weapon attack-from a pool stick to an empty beer bottle-while they are in the danger zone and they'll get knocked out.

There are a number of KO attacks at your disposal, depending on your character's fighting styles. Basically, you want to get your opponent's health into the 'danger' zone, turning it red-when and only when you get them into the danger zone, you can prepare for a KO attack. The way the health bar works in FIGHT for NY is quite a bit different.
