      try to use low parry when you predict your opponent's moves, to low parry press down forward ↘️ instead of back, that way you will punish him with a combo.. better than just guarding & let him get away with it

    REMEMBER: neutral guard has slightly less pushback than back guard. This is normally not important, but against specific moves such as Paul’s Deathfist you may get a punish where one wouldn’t exist before. It’s still a risk because of how it interacts with strings but by all means know your options.

  • @juniorforbes5472
    @juniorforbes5472 7 месяцев назад +60

    • @lordfifth4520
      @lordfifth4520 7 месяцев назад +5

      Watch the end of the short again. After getting hit by King's Alley Kicks, when he holds db, he can immediately block 2nd and 3rd hit. But when you just hold down, you cant block follow up kicks. There are more examples like this. Some strings becomes like a natural combo even though they are not. Same thing happens with neutral guarding vs holding back. When you have a back input while guarding, you recover faster.

      You probably press back twice, it does a back dash which is vulnerable. When you get better you can back dash and cancel into a block quickly, this works with side steps as well to increase defensive options and movement.
      There is no way you are just holding back and eating kids unless they are unblockable.

  • @14ssushi
    @14ssushi 3 месяца назад

    I dont think people are confused on blocking i think blocking is pretty broken. Your char is delayed when moving in and out of blocking high to low, to the point where you cant react to a person doing something. I can see the person going for a low, press diagonal, still gets hit. Especially when its low to mid, the timming feels so off you will do the inputs and still get hit by both attacks. The game just bad.

      There is a slight advantage of neutral blocking too. You get less pushback when you block stuff, so it makes it easier to punish stuff like deathfist for example. But most of the time, holding back is better. There are a lot of strings that can bypass neutral guard, but holding back makes you recover a bit faster. Rule of the thumb is just forget neutral block is a thing and always hold back if you intent to block something.
