[@HGhaleon]

Looks like Dust got changed. Now it doesn't need to be a counter hit to launch. Simply holding the Dust button makes it become a launcher (slower start up similar to the original Dust). I like this change a lot. Roman cancel looks beautiful in its utility.

[@ingenuitypulse6254]

...Dust in Xrd doesn’t launch on counter hit. It does launch when you land a hit on a standing or crouched opponent after inputting a direction.

[@Hailstormful]

Now Roman cancels are kind of everything but the kitchen sink: a regular combo extender, a guetto Alpha Counter, a guetto FADC, a mixup/pressure tool, a 2-in-1 special cancel...

[@HGhaleon]

@@ingenuitypulse6254 That's not what I was referring to. I was talking about originally in Strive when I played the first beta. The only time you would get a launch is when your RISC guage was flashing or if you landed a counter hit. That was the only way to cause the launcher.

[@17thknight]

I want to like this game and get into it, but the barrier to entry is so fucking huge. A month with XRD Rev 2 and I couldn't even beat the tutorials. MK11 is friendly to new players, that is a game that a new player can learn and improve at over time, so of course the FGC hates it. Meanwhile anything they said in this video past throws made no sense and no new player would *ever* be able to actually do it in a match. The FGC just fundamentally doesn't understand why their games are impossible to get into.

Hey so quick and possibly dumb question if I may. If I understood it correctly the yellow rc gets you out of your blockstun right? Then how is that different from instant blocking?

[@Ikarus568]

@@easygoingdude9990 The difference is that with IB you're blocking and staying close and YRC pushes them back so you don't have to block anymore. Instant Block: when you want to punish predictable attacks with a fast, short range normal (preferably leading into a combo) Yellow Roman Cancel: when you wanna go back to neutral

[@rampant1apart]

@@easygoingdude9990 Yeah, what Ikaru568 said. Instant Block lets you recover faster, but doesn't stop everything like a YRC does.

@@rampant1apart Okay so a question from another noobie, when would you use faultless defense then?

[@Triforce_of_Doom]

@@choppedsirloin9215 You'd use Fautless mainly for moves that would do a lot of chip damage like certain supers. One example is one character in Xrd had a super that was basically one giant orb that dealt a LOT of chip so you'd have to choose to block with either meter or chip damage if you ended up going defensive against it.

@@george6626 Spark is a one time thing that gives your character a damage buff, meter gain buff, and allows you to jump cancel all normals that can be activated raw, after a move hits, or during blockstun. RC costs meter/tension and does not give you any benefits besides the immediate cancel of whatever your doing and can be used virtually at any point aside from when you’re in blockstun or are knocked down. RC can also be used in blockstun like sparking but doesn’t knock back the opponent on hit. So they’re still very different
