- If a block is one of my foundations can i use it, even when its on my staging area?
- How do you run out of cards?
- Can i use a card from a different company like have Street Fighter and Tekken?
- Can i block and reversal with the same card?
- what is Desperation (I read the rule but it does make sence) ?
- do you control check after or before you commit foundations?
- what do the symbols mean on cards like "Dark Hado" or "Merciless" ?
- if a card has 2 responses do you play both of them or just one?
1) Assets are permenant, just as foundations are.
2) You may have different characters in your deck, but only as blocks, you may not do the following:
3) You may have other types of your starting character, and may play them as a form on your turn to add their abilities (not hand size or vitality) to your own.
4) As long as atleast one resource symbol is being shared with the card you're attempting to play, your character, and all of the cards before it in your card pool, you're fine. (It's not as hard as it sounds.)
5) You can only block with cards from your hand, not staging area.
6) You can run out of cards by drawing alot and running out of deck, or your opponent using this as a strategy and using specific cards to make you discard alot. When you run out of cards in your deck, you shuffle your discard pile, remove 10 cards from this new pile from the game, turn it face-down and call it your new deck.
7) As long as cards share resource symbols, it doesnt matter what game it's from. My Ken deck has absolutely no street fighter cards, and works fine.
8) Since reversals must be played from your hand, and the block you just played would be on the field, you unfortunately can't do this.
9) Desperation means that when you are under half health (Starting health 26, when you're at 13 or less) the ability may be played. Such as, "Desperation F Commit:" may only be played when under half health. When a card says "Desperation: 0" under it's resource symbols, that means when under half health, that becomes the card's printed difficulty instead of what it has on the top left, no arguments there either, it is a forced ruling.
10) You make the control check first, then you may commit foundations to pass it, I assume this is what you're asking, it wasn't perfectly clear.
11) I assume you're referring to the shuriken in the background of the card. This shows which 'block' the card belongs to. Cards without it are called 'block 1' cards with the 3 pointed one are from 'block 2' cards with the 4 pointed one are 'block 3' and those with the brand new 5 pointed one are of course, 'block 4' Currently, we are in a block 3 format, meaning that 75% of sanctioned games are to be played only with cards that have the 4 or 5 pointed shuriken watermarks. The other cards are only legal in the legacy format.
12) It is possible to play 2 responses on a single card, though they would both have to trigger from the same thing. (IE: Both says "R: After you block your opponent's attack...") Also, this would have to be on an asset, foundation, or character, not an action, since you can only play one ability per action.
I hope these answer your questions, and that no-one posted before me while I was writing this as it was a long typing session. Always remember the golden rule also: card text trumps the official rules, so if a card says you may play it as a reversal after blocking with it, you make sure to do it.

9) Desperation means that when you are under half health (Starting health 26, when you're at 13 or less) the ability may be played. Such as, "Desperation F Commit:" may only be played when under half health. When a card says "Desperation: 0" under it's resource symbols, that means when under half health, that becomes the card's printed difficulty instead of what it has on the top left, no arguments there either, it is a forced ruling.
12) It is possible to play 2 responses on a single card, though they would both have to trigger from the same thing. (IE: Both says "R: After you block your opponent's attack...") Also, this would have to be on an asset, foundation, or character, not an action, since you can only play one ability per action.
2) You can play characters that don't match your starting character as a form, but at the end of the turn they will be discarded (unless you Here Comes A New Challanger to switch to that character first). This could be useful for something like Misdirection (+6 damage bonus) or other odd things, but generally isn't.
3) Note that you only gain the character abilities at the end of the turn when you clear your cardpool and attach it to your existing character card.
8) Some reversal you can do this with (Chi Disruptor from the new Shadowar set for example) but generally no.
9) Desperation is actually below half health. So if you have 26 max vitality, desperation starts at 12 or less, not 13.
12) If it is on a foundation or asset in your staging area you generally can. If it is on an action card you can only use one of the responses, unless the card specifically says you can use both.

- How long does Assets stay on the field? until they are destroyed or removed by an effect
- Can i have different characters in my deck? yes
- Can i have different types of the same characters in my deck? yes
- As long as i have the resource symbol on my card can i play it or does it have to be in the same order? as long as you have the resource and it matches the same resource as any cards that are in the card pool already, yes.
- If a block is one of my foundations can i use it, even when its on my staging area? you may only play a block from hand, unless an effect says otherwise.
- How do you run out of cards? when your deck runs out of cards, you stop everything else, and immediately cycle. shuffle your discard pile, remove the top 10 crds from the game, and the remainder is your deck. after cyclying, if you are left with zero cards in your deck, you lose.
- Can i use a card from a different company like have Street Fighter and Tekken? you may use any UFS card with any other.
- Can i block and reversal with the same card? only if an effect lets you do that (there is at least 1 attack that does this in set 12)
- what is Desperation (I read the rule but it does make sence) ? desperation replaces the difficulty of the card with the value it has. you are "in desperation mode" when you are UNDER half vitality.
- do you control check after or before you commit foundations? order of play: reveal card, make control check, commit foundations if necessary, pay any additional costs. then the card will enter the card pool if successful
- what do the symbols mean on cards like "Dark Hado" or "Merciless" ? if you mean the watermark in the textbox: the shuriken marks the block that set of cards belong to. those w/o a watermark are block 1. a 3 pt shuriken is block 2. a 4 pt shuriken is block 3. etc.
- if a card has 2 responses do you play both of them or just one? on an action card, you may only play the action for one ability on the card (unless specified otherwise). on foundations/assets/characters, you may play any ability once per trigger as long as you can pay the cost. if a card has 2 abilities with the same trigger, and both of them have a commit cost, then you would only be able to play one of them unless you can somehow ready the card before the trigger window expires.
