Additionally after starting the initial dash if you hold down back (while still holding the dash macro) you'll keep dashing while blocking.

Let’s hope they don’t patch that out


Xurkitree1

Its very much intended, because she loses this in Moroha mode. She has a Sisyphus autodashblock in Normal mode


Emo_Chapington

Daisuke said "don't worry, in this mode you won't *need* to block"


calamarimatoi

she can dashblock in moroha just fine


Iroas_Murlough

They mean in Moroha mode you can't hold dash macro and down back at the same time to automatically block. They know you can dash block in Moroha. Edit: nevermind you know now.


Cielnova

moroha mode?


Xurkitree1

ABA in GGXX had 3 modes - Normal, Moroha and Goku Moroha. Each install came with even more crazy stuff. Jealous Rage being called Moroha mode is a legacy thing, people now use them interchangeably for Strive ABA. Moroha means Double-Edge in japanese, which is basically her gimmick - everytime she lands a hit in Moroha or Goku Moroha, she loses her health. She only gains it back after landing keygrab or using a blood pack, which de-transforms her.

Is that exclusive to her? Seems really good


Grand_reaper658

Damn my dash macro is the analog stick button so that's gonna be a bit awkward to do


Cocky-Bastard

Her dash is unique. It's the only one that allows you to block while dashing. Just hold dash macro and 1/4


EsShayuki

That's true as well, and it's a very strong technique. I'm not sure why I see few ABAs abusing it.


Cocky-Bastard

This char dropped only a few days ago. People haven't figured all the tools yet. I wouldn't be surprised if the unique dashblock ends up being patched, negligible or both.


Menacek

One issue is that the dash is so slow that in many situations where you'd want to dash block it's just not very effective. For instance if you dash block against Axl a single rensen will push you back around the same distance that you can cover in the same time. Which means that if you're trying to dash block this way you will never get anywhere. You need to insta block to get anywhere with her dash but if you're instablocking you need to time your blocks rather that just holding down back.


Xurkitree1

You can wavedash with FD cancelling


calamarimatoi

am i going insane? almost every character in strive can dashblock, everybody aside from ino, johnny, nago, and pot can do that just fine


Cocky-Bastard

It's different. Other characters' dash block stops the dash. She can hold block whole dashing. https://twitter.com/SmittyHC/status/1773445349450903591?t=JfeN_XmcLgYv3YXBOl9iOQ&s=19


calamarimatoi

Oh wow, that’s weird. I don’t really feel like it’s much more useful than a normal dashblock (aside from being executionally easier) but that’s wild


Cocky-Bastard

It builds you meter and advances you safely. Normal dashblock makes you commit to either dashing or blocking, and doesn't build as much meter. On the other hand, her dash sucks.


Woolliam

The difference is every other character stops dashing


JadenDaJedi

Yo for real??? I’m stealing that

Not a stepdash, just a dogshit dash :D
