One of the few mechanics people did not complain was not in Strive because nobody liked it in Xrd alongside Danger Time but don't tell that to Lucid because Xrd's flawless.
@@girlsamurai26 Agreed, I’ve never had a match where anyone groaned at a danger time. It’s usually the most hype, stand out of your seat and start mashing moment of the whole match
Blitz was a nice incorporation and I liked it better than +R's slashback or Strive's FD instant block. It was easy to use and very different from other defense mechanics, as in, it wasn't a variation nor an OP version of an existing mechanic. All the mechanics I named have their drawbacks or problems, but Blitz is my favorite.
I've heard Blitz and Blitz Attack mentioned before but never knew what the fuck it meant, I kinda assumed that it was a second mechanic in the genre of Danger Time. Now that I see what it is, I'm not very surprised that my Baiken-main ass wasn't able to figure it out - I already have The Cooler Blitz
@@LucidButtonMasher I remember hearing about it during the strive release. Like it was a spin off and if it didn’t go well they would potentially return to the x series. Which is why it’s strive and not like xtrive or something. I think I remembered seeing it in a dev back door Take it with a heavy grain of salt though
Strive is a sequel and main game interm of story, but you need to know arcys never stop doing something new, if they want it they can keep updating Strive (not even 1 year old game) to the same level of sign 1.0 or rev
Yes and no, unlike azami (baiken's parry in xrd) blitz CAN'T be done during blockstun, low blitz loses to mids, and there is only the one follow up to it. Because of this blitz can't be used in a lot of the same situations azami can be.
If it was simpler and less conditional i don't think it would work as well as it does. In a game that's complicated, if it was simple it would come off as spammable as reversal edge from soul calibur 6
@@HaveYouTriedGuillotines I can't agree. I used to not like blitz either until I played the game a lot more and played better players and got my obvious shit rejected pretty consistently to expose how useful blitz is. It's a good defensive mechanic that adds some nice combo variety.
@@mcad___ You exposed the main problem with the mechanic and you don't even realize it. EDIT: Actually, you exposed both the main problems with the mechanic, one of which was also a problem with Baiken specifically, even before Xrd, and resulted in her seeing major changes not once but twice.
Blitz shield is what you press when you are mad at the chipp player
EXACTLY
Long live Xrd, I’ve only been playing for a few months but I’m glad to see a small community is still around.
I've been playing dead games my whole life. Gotta keep the living ones alive

Rev 3 babyyyy
You are doing more work into these tutorials than the actual game did. well done!
Lol thanks! Cheers
I love this mechanic.
Love it so much
You forgot about the best kind of blitz, the crackhead blitz where you do it after a knockdown for oki
Lol i forgot to put a clip in of me doing that exact thing but the guy gold bursts and i kill him for it lol
just got into xrd, very helpful video
Cheers mate
Me when i make romantic advances
Oof
Long live Rev2, it had its flaws but Xrd is just on a whole new level
Blessed by daisuke, live long and love Xrd
it never left dawg...
Ah yes… the jump cancel Blitz tech.
I believe there was a character who had that in their combo trials. Was pretty fun to learn.
May have been chipp and INO
nice. never actually knew what it did. great video as always
Appreciate it! Hope it was easy to digest
@@LucidButtonMasheronce i reduced playback speed to 25% it was digestible for me. thanks
this seems really cool!
It is quite cool
One of my favorite mechanics of all time.
It's become one of mine as well
@@LucidButtonMasher Tell me good Dandy, will there be a propaganda stream today?
Hmmmm could be could be

If only this game had people online on PS4. I would be able to use your sage XRD knowledge against unsuspecting souls.
Sadly I can't speak for the experience on PlayStation
Ah yes. More Xrd propaganda
Give in to the Xrd

I don't think it's perfect, i just like more mechanics, more options means more buttons i get to press

About that

Lol yeah Baiken has 2 parries to use now
I literraly never used the blitz guard/attack lmao, maybe I would yry to use it more
It's definitely something to use every now and then to mix up your defense

After all of the great, new and useful mechanics Xrd has to offer, are people REALLY SURE that Strive is a sequel?
It’s officially a spin-off I believe.
No way is it? Seems like an actual continuation
@@LucidButtonMasher I remember hearing about it during the strive release. Like it was a spin off and if it didn’t go well they would potentially return to the x series. Which is why it’s strive and not like xtrive or something.

god, i had forgotten about this mechanic
stop feeding me Xrd propaganda or i'll have to go play it again
Hehehe it continues
So they simply took the fun from Blitz Shield and called it Wild Assault? Damn
Wild assault isn't really a parry
@@LucidButtonMasher I meant that Wild Assault looks like a Blitz Attack without the parry from Blitz Shield
@soymilkcoffee621 sure
it says jumo instead of jump.
Fuck i gave it a twice over and still here we are lol
gold burst then iad blitz
That's a tactic right there
Monke learning!
Big brain do study so button me press
Wait this just looks like the same shit people used to hate Baiken for.. but all characters get it???
Yep. Not as good/spamable as Azami since blitz costs meter and is way more limited, but yeah
Yes and no, unlike azami (baiken's parry in xrd) blitz CAN'T be done during blockstun, low blitz loses to mids, and there is only the one follow up to it. Because of this blitz can't be used in a lot of the same situations azami can be.

Pls bring it back on ST lmao😂😂
Would be pretty interesting ngl
Guilty Gear super turbo
@@Aripuni1 ngl made me chuckle
Is xrd more difficult than strive?
Sure is
Blitz is a very dumb mechanic but man it’s fun
Young dumb and full of fun
rejected
Such is the way of life
I hate this mechanic so much. So glad that they buried this junk.
Can't agree but respect the opinion
I'm honestly glad this crap is gone. It needed, at the bare minimum, to be reworked such that it was less convoluted and conditional.
If it was simpler and less conditional i don't think it would work as well as it does. In a game that's complicated, if it was simple it would come off as spammable as reversal edge from soul calibur 6

It didn't work well. That's the point.
People need to take off the rose tinted glasses, Xrd had a lot of jank.

So your argument is because it's complicated it's bad?
kinda like parry in sf3 but requires a bit of meter thx for info usually connected this one on accident
Yep ut can be expensive but successful ones give you meter back! And stealing burst? Huge
This is awesome thanks

It's possible to blitz certain projectile supers like Bishop Runout
Which one?
@@LucidButtonMasher Venom Bishop Runout Super
Not sure about the others, but I remember there being another. Millia Chromatic Rose I think
Oh neat
@@LucidButtonMasher It's weird that when projectile-type supers are like this, Haehyun's mega tuning ball isn't, iirc.
