Quick style makes it possible to perform a double jump and increases your character\u2019s speed. Hard style slows down character movement but makes their attacks stronger. Omnia style lies somewhere between the two. It also sounds like the battle system has been rebalanced with combos and special moves being easier to pull off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Phantom Breaker: Omnia <\/em>also supports online play.
