instant block
What does instant block mean?
A defensive tech where you input block on the precise frame the attack connects. Nail it and you eat less blockstun and less pushback, so you stay close enough to punish or keep your own offense alive. Tight timing, big payoff.
"He instant blocked the last hit of the block string and mashed a reversal straight into the gap."
Frequently asked questions
