Learning to Perfect Block, that's 1 thing Remembering to Perfect Block, that's another Perfect Blocking on reflex alone, now that's a whole new challenge

[@tmoney5036]

The Furiou King Crimson ultra instinct

[@DantesInferno96]

Need practice for that. And timing. Also, there are framerate issues too, so let's not forget that.

[@terezrucker751]

Ultra Instinct

[@zackwyatt169]

I guess I won the new challenge cause it's basically a reflex for me

[@KGC8BIL]

Shit, you gotta have ultra instict 😂

[@jimbles9974]

why is nobody complaining about the fact that you have to start EVERYTHING over when you make a new character this is complete bullshit and everyone should do everything within their power to fix this stupid situation

[@wafflzbacon407]

Xcgfrosty Yes bro! The KZbinrs aren't even calling dimps out on it because they only make one character it's so frustrating!

[@wafflzbacon407]

WHEN YOU BUST A NUT BUT SHE STILL SUCKING Honestly it's just whatever works best for you. I can use a Frieza race pretty well and a male Sayain well. That doesn't mean the other races are bad. Another good race is the Female human.

[@jimbles9974]

WHEN YOU BUST A NUT BUT SHE STILL SUCKING​ im good with the female majins but the male majins are just terrible in my opinion, although i have heard that they have an OP combo but i also heard that they will be getting "balanced" in the next update which will likely get rid of that combo

[@HuNgRyGaM3r]

This needs to be fixed in Tuesday's patch. Or another patch.

[@726link]

When it's a glitch and dimps knows about it. One - Afro Senju makes multiple characters and he knows about it. Two - It's a glitch that will be fixed so calm down.

[@777muzzful]

why do you have to re-unlock characters and everything else every time you make a new characters?

[@jonyzom6055]

definitely this is so ridiculous

[@rhymestyle]

that's getting fixed

[@jonyzom6055]

you mean they will fix it soon? great but i dont think so because once you finish the game, there's an announcement that says only characters who finished the story mode can change the BGM. so they may not but I hope so

[@777muzzful]

***** Hopefully, because I don't want to re-unlock everything every time I make a new character

[@dage4524]

Rhymestyle Where do you get your info from

[@MrRose41]

I had no idea that you had to block as soon as your about to get hit, I’ve been playing for 2 years and I’m just learning this, amazing

[@ZBatt1]

When’s the best time you block in an online battle. I find myself rarely blocking if even at all.

when they go for a backhit, or they step vanish around you to try to hit from behind

You have to pretty much be calm and have a good reacting time to block it perfectly

guys this is so ridiculous, why do I have to restart the whole story mode and PQ when I make new character??? I understand it in terms of time rift quest. but not the whole SHIT

[@sinkintothedarknessofthema2695]

Jony Zom It's better that way

[@luikao2235]

Randall Batts Yeah nah, you're fucking dreaming.

[@sinkintothedarknessofthema2695]

Jony Zom no I'm not it is better.

[@SaltedMallows]

+Lui Kao Well I think a ng+ thing gives the game longevity I support it. Xenoverse 1 died completely once you completed everything there was nothing to do and the only way to start over was to delete your save data.

Yo, Rhyme, you've gotten so much better, I can't wait to fight you once I get PS4!

[@VYDEOS2]

But how do you do a perfect block when the snap vanish behind you? How do you turn around quickly for a block?

[@mybodyisready6189]

@R 😢

[@Br-uh]

@@unknown0w0When someone step vanishes behind you, hit the guard button again to make your character automatically turn around and guard wherever your opponent is. It works only when you’re locked on obviously. Hope this helps

[@Br-uh]

@@mybodyisready6189👍

[@Br-uh]

@@unknown0w0 Oh my bad, I only said the locked on part was obvious because I figured you would be locked on already as it’s hard as hell fighting someone you’re not locked on to. I didn’t mean to sound like I know any better

[@Br-uh]

@@unknown0w0 Yea ofc! It’s alright, I understand how that could have came across as passive aggressive

[@Silverdhollow]

I started doing this asap when i got the game on release lol Thanks rhyme

I needed this video, thx.

[@brettdonohoe9003]

Thank you!!! Got it down to a science now!

[@m31a89]

thanks for the tips rhyme

[@HamodNiko]

I already did that before you uploaded the video and here I thought I was special figuring out how to practice XD and I also perfect blocked emperor death beam 3 times in a row :) that's what I did, make characters use their ultimates on me and if I fully perfect block all of them 3 times in a row I know I mastered this character and I switch to the next one

[@supersaiyanshonathan]

getting s ps4 & this game tomorrow. can't wait to maybe fighting you rymestyle

[@JetStraw]

Thanks for the help Rhymestyle

[@virusdotexe1708]

also my two favorite ultimates would have to be Elegant Blaster (even though the move execution is slow the fact you can warp in a good amount of radius wherever you desire is a good way to sneak on a opponent or keep them on there feet with some good damage if it hits) and my second would have to be Meteor Burst (cause being able to speed up a ultimate that slams hard on damage and not only does it hit twice when it sky rockets but shoots your opponent up in the air and extends there recovery time is just way to good to pass up)

[@Rel.quizzzz]

WWTTTFFFF... Rhymestyle was so good XD

[@darkemperormaniac8869]

Fu sounds like a fun perfect block test. Imagine especially with his unique moveset and abilities

[@TheBigCounter]

Rhyme now you know what it's like to be one of us xenoverse gods...

[@Carnege50]

i wonder if this'll end up like sf3 where eventually you'll find all the higher end players doing it, and that emperor's deathbeam evo moment 37 tho lol

[@ghostgokuoldchannel6641]

"Now all you have to do to Perfect Block is HIT R1..." I get it!

[@chaddts]

If you can remap to r2" I play on switch using an Xbox elite 2 controller." You can use the depth of the trigger as a natural delay. Works very well for me lol

[@davondh7]

finally got it thanks

[@absolutelad4322]

Thank you!!

[@blvckac3189]

thanks for the advice

[@deletoblue1109]

I like how he’s using hit in this tutorial for perfect blocks

[@KoKuTanLuFi]

Is there a frame advantage or something for using a just guard? It seems as if the only advantage is to force your enemy to use their stamina in order to avoid getting hit from the small advantage you get from just guarding. It almost seems like it should be more difficult to do, and if you do it to someone they are left in a state where you can punish without them being able to snap vanish out of it.

[@soullessshinigami2509]

Great video👌

[@simonhoff4400]

I mean rhymestyle i do it on instinct and it works 75% of the time, should i master it, or focus on perfecting other aspects?

[@akhsaypatel7573]

Finish what you started

[@122127jabdi]

Itachi Uchiha-GG best possible advice ever!

[@DeviiBT]

Itachi Uchiha-GG just like the wise man once said.

[@simonhoff4400]

Yeah well i never like did indepth training with perfect blocking

[@grimvewz6958]

Master the side step first

[@HuNgRyGaM3r]

In Tuesday's patch, they need to: Make it where, when you're making a new character all the process for everything is shared. Items, skills, etc. The only though is if you're making a difference race, whatever race you are then you have to go the one of the time rifts for your race. For example, if your first character was a Earthling and you went to Hercules House to unlock your awoken skill, then when you make another race like a Freiza, you have to go to freizas spaceship and do a special quest for him like training to get your golden form. Instead of having to do all of the time rifts again. Or for a Saiyan, you go to Capsule Corp and do a special quest for Vegeta where you fight him in SSJ2 or SSB and you unlock SSJ3. You know what I mean?

[@HuNgRyGaM3r]

Or for a Namekian, you go to Namek and train with Lord Slug for your giant form. And for Majins you train with Kid Buu or Majin Buu for you purification.

[@rangerbanger6364]

thanks Rhyme this helped me get first in xbox world tournament

[@olepa3514]

Awesome!!!

[@froilanserrano5148]

I watched this video about a few months ago thinking there was no way i was going to be able to perfect block Frieza's Death Beam. After practing for a solid 10 min i was able to perfect block all of the Death Beams. I have never felt more of a Savage in DBX2. 😂 Also on a side note i did it with my CaC. 😎👍

[@chiroz6464]

Hey, I am new to Xenoverse (started playing it for the first time on Friday, got it for PC). I have been trying to learn a lot and such and your videos have been incredible help. The game is fun right now, but there's just so much stuff that's going over my head. I wanted to ask you a simple question. For a melee Frieza race, what stats should I be leveling? I went online and did a lot of research but just from leveling I've noticed Xenoverse 2 gives you much more stats. I am barely 40 and have 150 stats, but I don't know what to level :/.

[@Di2tyMug3n]

Thanks rhymest le

[@Reppintimefitness]

Thanks bro

[@tojyomax4276]

omg rhymestyle this is no joke there is an alternate ending in xeno 2 where u do the dragon fist instead of goku fighting mira its awesome and i dont really know how i did it try doing the last battle finishing it quickly like tge last game to get the secret ending i thinks its like that rhyme style i am a big fan and plz make a video about this alternate ending

[@danielcarbajal4105]

Asim Mohammed Look at the date of his comment you moron

[@ssrblackgoku7041]

Asim Mohammed no

[@danielcarbajal4105]

Asim Mohammed No you're a moron who thinks what he's says are facts but nope

[@yokedswole]

Usually you just gotta block after they start to move for their attack. Basically after they press the button. Sucks if they lag tough lol.

[@samerkia]

Rhymestyle can you show us how to use Hit, also what does Hits Super Soul do? I can't use hit at all HAHA!

[@jimbles9974]

his soul increases melee damage temporarily when you land a perfect block

[@BLUE5TARJR]

Rymestlye can you possibly make a video about all the wishes and what you get in Xenoverse 2?

[@virusdotexe1708]

Hey Rhyme I have a question. what's better or at least the actual stat difference between ssj3 and Super Vegeta 2? I've been trying to figure it out. even though in the Super Vegeta description it states you'll have stronger Ki blast attacks then any other type of ssj. a lot of times when I was trying to test the two out some of the time I couldn't tell much of a difference other then in ssj3 you don't gain ki from battling other then charging. also what's the move everyone is using to warp around a lot? I've yet to find it hahaha, well if you could get back to me whenever possible I'd appreciate it!

[@Lolz-ro4uz]

Whenever I see a person flying and attacking and backing whenever I predict what is he going to do I *BOOM* Perfect Block

[@JXHN_CONNOR]

Thank rhymestyle for block spammers

[@one-wingedangel50]

props dino props.

[@trulykustom]

I just did a match against a hit and I got some good perfect blocks in just gotta practice it. It's getting easier

[@Tylahbtw]

You know sometimes I always pause every time so when the enemy attempts to attacks me I unpause it and immediately slam the guard button to perform the perfect guard.

[@jxy3317]

Moonwolfofthe Shadows 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Sonofkratos13]

The most frustrating thing imo is timing the stamina break

[@SaviGSenpai]

thanks for the tips and tricks but im still a bit off how long did it take for you to perfect block that good

[@cal.vin_daniel1086]

What if goku/vegeta died from old age and the half sayains kept havin babies with humans for years so now we have very very very little saiyan in us and thats why we cant go ssj? and goku was real he just died millions of years ago

What I dont get about perfect blocks is people do it DURING a combo but when i do it, it never works

[@kombokenji]

exactly what i came here for. like no tutorials on it

[@tsundere4148]

when you are stuck blocking some attacks usually there is a moment when the attack slow down and you can quickly unguard and guard to perfect block the slowed attack in their combo

[@zachjohnson5799]

YO RYHEMSTYLE! so I found out that if you get all 7 dragonballs and wish for the very first ultimate attack you get time skip

theres a sound right about when you get hit its perfect

if the guy perfect block every time that he blocks isn't spam

[@israel6187]

How is it spamming? If you keep getting perfect blocked thats on you. If he keeps blocking in hopes of getting a perfect block( but obviously wont get one) then yeah he's spamming. But jesus, theres ways around it

[@omnoproxyleet4822]

yeah i have a question, for blast supers do you just keep tapping block to perfect block or do you hold it after you perfect block the first time and it autoblocks the rest of it?

[@FatalFist]

I play on PC with the Steam controller and the most frustrating thing(s) are probably the Z-Vanish : do 10 dodges consecutively : and the advanced combo - my ranged attack keeps coming out during a point where I should be punting them away for the juggle.
