Basically you hit people to build up your super, and your supers get more and more powerful as you go from 1-2-3 bars. One bar is generally just a "hey it's pretty much a melee attack that kills someone" to 3 bars which is "you are invincible and you have 10 seconds to one shot as many people as possible".
