Skilled combating sport gamers at all times need to know which strikes are secure, that means which strikes have the attacker recovering first when the transfer is blocked. Fantasy Strike now exhibits that with the blue visible results above.

Good gamers are additionally aware of “body traps.” That time period means having body benefit (blue results in Fantasy Strike), then attacking once more and interrupting your opponent’s transfer in the event that they tried to do one thing. For instance, think about you could have a transfer that has 10 frames of startup, and hits on the eleventh body. Suppose your opponent has a barely quicker transfer that has 9 frames of startup on hits on body 10. When you each occurred to do these strikes at precisely the identical time, the quicker one (theirs) would hit and interrupt the opposite transfer (yours). You’d be unhappy about that. However now think about that you simply did another transfer that will get blocked and leaves you at +5 (you recuperate 5 frames ahead of they do). Instantly after that blocked transfer, in the event you do your 10-frame startup transfer, you’re getting a head-start of 5 frames right here. Your opponent is caught blocking for five frames, THEN begins their 9-frame transfer. They’re too far behind right here and now your assault will win, regardless that “normally” your assault is slower.

Body benefit results being seen on a regular basis imply it’s extra clear when body traps are even occurring. This doesn’t actually take away something as a result of anybody who is aware of what they’re doing already knew this. It implies that learners can play the “actual sport” sooner. It’s simpler for them to get on the identical web page about what’s even occurring. Attacking when you’re at body drawback is dangerous, however typically nonetheless good. Now it’s simpler to KNOW you’re in that call and make a aware determination whether or not you need to assault then or not.

That mentioned, this function is not only for learners. There’s numerous nuance within the actual timing and spacing strikes that may have an effect on body benefit, and consultants can study that now. For instance, Setsuki can press C then B to throw a low-to-the-ground kunai, but it surely may give her body benefit or drawback relying on the spacing and timing. Additionally, she has a slide assault with numerous energetic frames and it may give body benefit or drawback relying on the timing and spacing. Grave’s projectile has body drawback from shut, and many body benefit from distant. There’s a specific distance the place it’s precisely +0 (each gamers are capable of do their subsequent transfer at precisely the identical time). That’s one thing you possibly can really see on-screen now on a regular basis.
