What are clashes and how do they work?

There are multiple types of clashes:

 

Grapple Clash: When both players use a grapple and connect, they enter a Grapple Clash. The player that used the higher-costing grapple wins. If it's a tie, nothing happens, and both players return to normal.

 

Move Type Clash: This is the core rock/paper/scissors system that the game uses. Strike beats Grapple, Grapple beats Counter, and Counter beats Strike. You win a Move Type Clash by using a move type that beats the opponent's.
