How do you get the special move bar to recharge?
I got to use Gabe's and mine once or twice and since then I've never gotten another one. Seems like I should have by now earned another. Or Tycho should have recieved one.

*shrug*

    Time.

    Your Speed stat controls how your meters charge, so you can drink a potion and increase that if you want. However, your A move will charge first, then your X, then your Y. If you use any of the moves, you go back down to nothing and need to charge everything again, so if you're using your X move as soon as you can, you'll never see a Y move, as that only starts charging once you have a fully-charged X.

    Tycho doesn't get his until he levels up a bit, don't worry.

    Did I explain that well enough?

    EDIT: To be clear, each meter depends on the one below it. So your X meter will only charge once the A meter is charged, and the Y meter only when the X and A are charged. Using any attack (including using an item) will clear ALL meters, so they need to charge from the bottom again. There's a small ring around the attack icon to show you how fast it's charging. Thomas Kemper's takes forever, for example.

    Oh so the special doesn't continually fill. I got to let it go A > X > and then wait for Y to charge. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks :)
