How to Block
If you want to use the block move in fighting, you can do so with a few easy steps. This will protect you from almost any attack that the opponent may try to lay on you. It can be achieved while standing or crouching as you press in the direction opposite to the enemy.
To use block, you will need to have some amount in your Guard Gauge, which is on your game screen right beside the HP and MP counters. You will need to have at least something in the bar for the block to work. This means that you will not be able to block an attack if the Guard Gauge is completely empty—and this is when you’re at your most vulnerable.
How to Guard Cancel
The Guard Cancel is also called an alpha counter, and is a move that displaces your opponent. It deals damage to them as you block the hit that they tried to use on you. It is a very effective move and a costly one as well as it will leech off 100 MP of you.
To use the Guard Cancel, you will need to press B+Skills while guarding. You will be using 100 MP which means that it won’t work unless you have the required amount.
How is this an article? Have you even played this game? Did you just copy the exact same innane bullshit every other video game journalist copied? In no way shape or form does this tell me how to guard cancel. You just tell me how much it costs. You don’t say the buttons or even the proper notation for it. You are truly useless.
