Beat extend can still be shaked after hitting an assist, even if the point character blocks it. This makes it pretty safe which it probably shouldn't
In the following video, the dummy is set to playback a recording and then block the first hit only.

Most characters can crouch upon landing to avoid the followup, but sometimes it keeps you in the air and you pretty much can't do anything about it.

Oh... I didn't know that, that's going to be reeeally useful.
 
If you pushblock the last hit before the shake quickly enough BB will be pushed away which keeps you from being locked down, saves your assist from being hit further, and leaves BB open to be punished or have to guess counter with SSJ

edit: it's actually not even quickly, it's a fairly large window

sorry, my hand must've slipped... several times...
what i meant to say was this...

PBGC has never been a thing.

thanks for catching that.
 
Yeah, I know, I've known since before he shipped, and I don't think it's any kind of problem for the reasons already listed.
It's still MAAAAD punishable unless you reaction cancel to SSJ, but that's normally how it works too.
But way to cause a panic anyway! :^)
 
No panicking, I was just venting in an appropriate thread. Hate dis band.
 
I've never even seen you do anything related to SG besides post combos.

I'm pretty bad at the game, you can check out some of my sets sometimes. I can't block. Could use advice, probably, maybe! I dunno.
But yeah, man, so big.. Eats all my mashed raw tags. The feelings are painful.
 
is this all strengths? if so im gunna be doing this a lot more
 
He "likes" my stuff a lot so... he's got my stamp of approval.
