Wow, it really is time to start handing out handkerchiefs to those Fantasy owners who are just crying over spilled milk. All is not lost just yet. Also there is no crying in hockey! None!

Alternating between special attacks was done using the d-pad or touch screen, and neither was accessible enough in the midst of combat.
