Source-watch guide index / checked snapshot

Start with the question. Keep the answer bounded.

This page organizes the help questions that can be safely revisited from the checked source packet. It keeps the published guide route useful without turning a name, search signal, community report, or changelog line into a walkthrough.

Quick answer

This is a bounded guide index, not a step list.

The checked material does not expose a verified walkthrough, boss or stage order, controls chart, ability input sequence, or troubleshooting fix. Use the topic cards to see the exact unknown and the condition for a later revisit.

What is safe to say now

Held content stays on its published owner route; no child route is implied.

Beginner entry

Start with the checked source surface

Source-watch

Use the official itch page as the single checked handoff for orientation. This hub points to existing reference paths and names the open questions; it does not promise a complete beginner route or a sequence through the game.

Progression question

Boss and stage order remains held

Held

Named stage and boss references do not establish a boss order, stage order, unlock path, layout, location, prerequisite, effect, count, or recommended sequence. No ordered guide steps are published from those references.

Scope
Named stage and boss wording in the checked release material; no structured progression dataset.
Unknown
Boss order, stage order, layouts, unlocks, locations, prerequisites, effects, counts, and a recommended sequence remain unknown in this scope.
Revisit trigger
Revisit after a versioned stage/order packet or a reproducible local record is accepted.

Named stage topic

Fortress 1 is an attributed source-watch lead

Source-watch

The v1.00.4 devlog names Fortress 1 in its update context. Community comments and search-language signals stay labelled as leads only; they do not become a map, stage route, item location, or current repair result.

Scope
Fortress 1 is treated as an attributed source-watch topic, not a route through the game.
Unknown
The checked material does not establish a map, order, item location, or current runtime repair state.
Revisit trigger
Revisit after a versioned local reproduction or a newer first-party fix/status record.

Stuck-state boundary

Troubleshooting is a report queue, not a fix

Unknown

A reported softlock, stuck state, save/config question, controller issue, or platform question is not a runtime reproduction. No universal workaround, recovery recipe, compatibility verdict, save path, or verified fix is published here.

Scope
Public questions and dated first-party wording only; no local reproduction is recorded.

No universal stuck-state workaround, recovery recipe, save path, compatibility verdict, or verified fix is published.

FAQ / 01

What is the scope of this guide page?

Scope: this is a source-watch index for the checked public material. Unknown: the current packet does not expose a complete beginner walkthrough or verified procedure. Revisit: an accepted first-party guide or versioned local validation record would be needed before procedural copy is added.

FAQ / 02

Is a boss or progression order available?

Scope: named stage and boss references are retained only as source-watch context. Unknown: they do not establish boss order, stage order, unlocks, or a recommended sequence. Revisit: use a later accepted versioned stage/order packet or reproducible local record.

FAQ / 03

How do I enter Hadouken or map the controls?

What should I do if I am stuck?
