dragon rush is a one way street that you can't cancel out of - and once its over, its over. massive telegraph, can be tech'd, have to consider the + on any assist in order to actually connect with the thing tooThis game has dragon rush. You cant block during flight. I highly doubt it'll be useful outside of neat block strings.
float bullshyt means you're forced to anticipate everything indefinitely. you can't block during flight BUT you can protect yourself in that kind of vulnerable state with all kinds of assists. you can't block during flight BUT you force your opponent to discern where you're going to trigger float or go for the empty jump. you can't block BUT you can go for the instant air dash. etc
its a huge mindfukk in a game with a lack of defensive options. hell, there's nothing else in the game that's close to what a mid screen vortex can do.
characters not out yet obviously so i'm probably just saying the sky is falling, but its a big deal
