Trying to find some usefulness on some not so useful cards, i got the
following doubt:

How does Save Face, really works?

From what i red on a few posts, it can even be used by a vampire in
torpor, but lets be more pratical.

I have 3 ready Vampires:
A has FOR (rushing one of my prey's minion)
B has FOR (untapped)
C is untapped and is older then A or B
A, B and C are of the same clan (just to be more pratical)

In game scene:
A rushes one of my prey's minions
During prevention i play "Superior Mettle" at superior level
Combat is about to end
Through C i play "Save Face" so that B gets a mandatory press to
continue combat

1) Does B gets the same benefict of using "Superior Mettle", since he
also has FOR and the combat didn't end? I presume yes, since all cards
played in combat that last for several round's are sill in play.

2) If B was tapped, was it still possible to have the same scenario? I
also think yes, since "Save Face" doesn't require the second vampire
to be untapped

3) Does the vampire chosen through "Save Face" has to be younger than
A or younger then C? or both? I presume younger then C.

4) Does C has to be of the same clan as A and B? I think not.

Thanks

B is not in combat. C cannot play Save Face on him.
"Choose a younger vampire of the same clan who is involved in the combat."

It has to be A, and A has to be younger than B, and A has to be the same clan as B.

Choose a vampire who is all of the following:
younger
of the same clan
who is involved in combat

Replace "B" with "C" in that line, sorry.

It has to be A, and A has to be younger than C, and A has to be the same clan as C.

(It could also be the minion opposing A, if that minion is a younger vampire of
the same clan as C, since the opposing minion is also involved in the combat).

So i have to play SF with C on A, in which C and A share the same
clan, right? So i'm just giving a press to A continue combat through
SF?

As per card text, yes. A needs to be younger and of the same clan as
the vampire playing Save Face.

It grants a mandatory press, only usable to continue combat.

If A is still ready at the end of this combat, then A gains a blood.
