Curated route
Arena movement: spacing and visible routes
This hub focuses on what public footage can actually support: arena spacing, approach angles, boss pressure zones, and environment clues. Named zones should be added only after official sources confirm them.
| Arena spacing | Walls, camera, and distance | Use for boss-read prep. |
| Approach routes | How the player enters pressure | Treat as visual evidence, not a full map. |
| World context | Dark city and kungfu-punk framing | Connect to lore only when sources support it. |
Read the space around an attack
Watch the distance between Soul, the enemy and the nearest boundary. A retreat shown in a trailer can suggest a positioning question to test later; it cannot establish an exact dodge distance or invulnerability window.
Walls and camera space
An arena with a clear center may leave more room to see an approach. Near a wall, compare whether the camera or the character loses space first. This is an editorial way to inspect footage, not a benchmark from a playable build.
Do not stitch trailer shots into a route
Cuts can join unrelated scenes. Keep separate observations for courtyards, bridges and interiors unless a continuous sequence or official map establishes their connection. The map directory records the limits of available world coverage.
Action checklist
Identify the space behind Soul before judging a clip.
Watch whether a wall or obstacle blocks the camera.
Compare the approach and recovery, not just the successful hit.
Treat a trailer cut as a break in route evidence.
Use the world directory for location information.

FAQ
Is this a complete Phantom Blade Zero map?
