I just found out you can start a superdash while blocking. for example, vegeta's special attack can be firing off on you and after you block the first hit you can just superdash and it'll deflect everything lol
changes everything about how i deal with him
its not just learning how to block, its learning what you ABSOLUTELY have to block. between damage scaling, combo potential (whatever's the scariest option when in a corner), assist availability, etc. like if someone needs to burn meter and an assist to open you up, thats actually really big deal. the last thing you ever want is to be hit with a clean wall bounce heavy to start a combo while your opponent has both assists up.
but either way... i've seen way too many people online who can rattle off huge combos but can't block or get in for shyt. go to training mode, set the CPU to 50 or above, and don't even attack - just stay in there until you learn how to block.
not being able to defend yourself in a fighting game is like dying nonstop in shooting games because you keep sprinting around corners. both lead to snowballing.

this is every fighting game outi agree with him. when someone gets you in an air combo theres nothing you can do except take it.
