Transformers: Devastation 「Command Dodge 」

[@lukusridley]

I love these hidden execution things. It's not broken enough to replace the mechanics, but if you know it's there you can do some awesome creative things with it. It gives you so many defensive options, but some are riskier than others - and the better you get the more you can ascend to the higher level, riskier (but more flexible) plays!

[@Pikmin012]

I've seen this work myself with Sideswipe's leap, and the activation of his ultimate.

[@Saur]

+Pikmin012 I can also now confirm that it works with Ultimate attacks, including Grimlock's grab.

[@Morninglord22]

Haha you just have to show the hardest one! 360 is so hard compared to shove! XD

[@TheJawlin]

Reminds of Witch Time from Bayonetta, Great Mechanic that should be implemented in most Action Fighting games.

[@KazuyaMithra]

it's quite a satisfying mechanic

[@Saur]

+TheJawlin They've expanded the Witch Time and Dodge-Offset mechanics so much in this game! I'm putting together a tutorial at the moment and will have it uploaded as soon as I can. I really want to raise the bar with this one, this game deserves it!

[@Saur]

+KAZ They've also dropped Parry-Offset on us! When you get that going you feel like Neo! XD

[@WeltallZero]

+Saur Wow, I keep learning stuff about this game months and hours upon hours in. At first I thought you were cancelling the dodge into the lariat. Also, I think this is my very first (and perhaps last) KZbin comment ever, but I just wanted to say I've been following your work ever since the TW101 tutorials (which I watched and re-watched prior to even owning a Wii U or the game, and allowed me to dive straight into the game and have fun from the get go). I can't tell you how happy I am to learn that you'll be doing something similar for this game, as I'm a inconceibably huge fan of both Transformers and Platinum Games, and this turned up to be the surprise of the year to me (I was cautiously optimistic after the somewhat lackluster Korra). My passion for this game is probably obvious just by looking at my list of posted videos. So, basically, thank you very much for everything you do; it's awesome, and keep it up!

[@Saur]

+Weltall Zero I'm so glad you've found what I've been doing useful! Thank you very much for your comment, it means a lot.

[@LionheartMindExplosion]

I actually don't know what to say.

[@NewBirdman27]

Nice!

[@thelastgogeta]

Awesome.

[@therealbigboss12345]

Is this also true for the special abilities?

[@Saur]

+therealbigboss12345 I think it would be character dependent if so, I haven't fully tested all of the abilities yet.

[@Morninglord22]

+Saur It works for Grimlocks robot form command grab. The animation has him shift his weight and lunge forward that plays even at point blank range. I am fairly sure that moves that would impact during these frames will trigger focus and he'll override the enemy attack. However I don't know if this needs Still Safe to work like 360 and shove, or if it only works during overdrive.

[@Saur]

+Morninglord22 Can confirm it also works in Grimlock's robot form.

[@Morninglord22]

+Saur No restrictions? Just straight up it triggers focus? Or needs still safe/over drive? You know what this excites me enough I'm going to make some time to test it myself.

[@Saur]

+Morninglord22 I think all of these require Still Safe, I've not tested it without yet.
