In order to transform, you press down on R1 (in the PlayStation 3 version) or RB (in the Xbox 360 version). The game utilizes in fight cutscenes or 'drama scenes' in order to make it as true to the anime as possible - for example, if a character is attacked with an energy beam, in some situations it may switch to a cutscene to depict the character deflecting the energy beam and taking no damage, or another character jumping in the way.
