Man, this video was BEYOND informative. The was one of the most clearly explained and useful tip DBFZ videos I've ever seen. I learned a lot about things that weren't even being covered as the main focus of this video. The side by side comparisons along with the immediate follow ups of pros and cons were great. The editing was on point and the structure of the video was amazing, as opposed to how other youtubers do it where they just wing it over a 20 minute video and record live. You deserve WAY more subs and views than you have now. I'm looking forward to watching more of your content. Videos like this are better than a lot of the stuff we see from others like Maxamilion Dood or Rooflemonger
Thank you so much for this video. I actually never knew that you have so many options when someone vanishes your guard cancels. So it's true that you have no recovery on a guard cancel whiff but a lot on block. I used to GC at the beginning of a block string because that's where I thought my opponent would least expect it.
In just a couple of months you've become the best and most informative DBFZ content creator on youtube. It's great to see such professional and high quality videos. Keep up the good work!
How do you tap forward while blocking? The dpad is a cross stick, I can't press forward while blocking. Would need each direction to be a separate button.
Didn't know that you could punish with a 2H if they try to vanish your guard cancel, that's pretty huge! Since on hit GC doesn't lead to anything (and on block I'm dead), can't I just mash 2H or EX Gale Claws/EX Perfect Attack/etc. right after I guard cancel and always beat their vanish? Or is it possible for them to time vanish just meaty enough that it'll catch most attacks before the head invul starts?
You should be fine to 2H. Even if you mess up, there's very little risk to it. Anything with frame 1 upper body or full invul will work every time for sure, like EX perfect attack
I think that defense is so strong and rewarding in this game already that it might make things unbearable on offense. People already joke about how long matches take (although I think it's fine). I think snapping taking a bar might be okay as a separate thing entirely, but I'm not sure since a lot of characters already have to spend a bar with vanish to do it 🤔
@@RathFGCyou do have a point about some characters already needing a bar for snapping , so maybe snapping is fine as is . And matches are fine imho . How would we improve offense without making the game worse ? Maybe make double super usable for certain characters ? Just a thought . Thanks for the reply !
So I watched this video and the offense 101, but I think I need a tutorial on how to practice punishing guard cancel. How do you setup the training dummy to randomly guard cancel? Also when you mention "react with 2H", if I was mashing my blockstrings, it doesn't seem to work anymore. I feel if you can, to teach how to work better on imputing one input at the same time. A bit more in details. I also assume you can't always stagger. Like Super Baby seems to only be able to stagger after his 5M, but it is super unsafe as people lvl3 on reaction already on it. Or I like to play Gogeta and his stagger game really sucks.
I believe the single character guard cancel has less negative on block, making it less punishable. So single character guardcancels are a lot more viable. Also you forgot to mention that you can always punish guard cancel when you are in spark just hold vanish and block the guardcancel->punish. And characters with a DP like ssj vegeta, adult gohan and cooler can cancel all their normals into DP on reaction of a guardcancel. Good video notheless, there is just missing some information.
I actually think guard cancel with a Single character is even more risky. Because you appear "behind" the character and with no tracking, it can whiff ! For instance, let's say you are playing gogeta and you decide to guard cancel after his 5M in the middle of the screen. Well, if he goes into his 2M, he will advance so much your guard cancel attack will whiff and you will get a full punish (from the gogeta player) ! Let's say you want to use it against Goku GT special attack 236L (or let's call it "rasengan"). As he does his attack in the air, most single character guard cancel will pass below him and he will be able to full punish. But, worst of all, if you use single character guard cancel, your opponent can simply call an assist to take the hit from the attack and then full punish you. Finally, I don't know if single character guard cancel is less negative on block, but, I will say, there is less traveling time and your opponent needs to change his blocking direction, so, that can help !
No, but you see, current Guard Cancel is so bad that it *checks notes* changed the way people do blockstrings when the opponent has meter available, and also made staggers signifcantly more useful. But seriously, remember when basically any move could just beat GC in season 1?
If they buff guard cancels I want it to take more resources. Take 2-3 bars for doing it. People complain so much to add shit so they don’t have to block.
@@RathFGC I bought cooler and I can't connect my dive kick on a combo is cooler point and bardock mid and goku gt is it a good team or should I change something
I needed this SO BAD. I just wouldn't ever try guard cancel bc I would always mess it up n get hit when I could just block. This channel is so good
Ive been trying to figure out who you sounded like and I finally realized that you sound like Gerald from core a gaming.
I kinda hear it too now. Oh no ;_;
I thought I was crazy
GOD I CAN'T UN-HEAR IT
I noticed that a couple uploads ago even uses some of the same music.
And Eric/Psykik, perfect voice for this kind of videos.

Thank you so much man. I face a ton of gohans online and when they do those kicks I have no clue what to do. Now I do!
I've been waiting on an in-depth video on guard cancels in dbf. I'm always afraid to use it in fear of death lol. Thanks for this video.
Thanks for telling me how to guard cancel. Made it to ssb without knowing lmao
You and me both, Jesus Christ
Hahaha same😂😂😂
I learned it now, with ultra instinct-sign😂

Mars watch lord knight’s videos too, his are also very informative and he even goes over lots tourney tech and why some teams are so dominant
@@tearitup5864 Will do, thanks!
thank u for these. i never understood when to use it
Your videos are so on point. Keep it up!
Bro these videos are great!
Used up in my jam as OST. Deserves a like and follow!
i remember i heard it in a game and i legit had to go and check it out for myself, but now im listening to it even now
4:50 Hah. It is, but you will get hit every time.
Glad I found this channel.
your guides are so helpful !!! thank you !
Dude this channel is too fucking good please keep on making more videos theey are so good
Each day I'm getting some tricks from you

Thank you so much this will help me a lot!
At 4:02 couldn't level 7 Gohan cancel ex legs into another move in time? Assuming he wouldn't get folded as soon as he got level 7...
Nothing much to say. Wonderful job.
This is great. Love this.

Rath the Gawd
Rath , what's your opinion on push block(if it cost a bar) being in dbfz ? And would snapping back cost a bar balance it out ?

I can’t seem to perform this move at all :((
So I've seen a guard cancel where there character teleports into a 1H instead of a tag-in. Has anyone seen it and if so do ya know how to do it😂?
Could you do a T.gohan 101 would be awesome
You should do a video for adult gohan
Thank you for the useful video 📹 ♥🌹
No, but you see, current Guard Cancel is so bad that it

Can you do a video on android 18
I just realized I never used this. Tbh I barely will ever probably use it
I wish the timing was just a little more forgiving but not much
Yo Rath met you at the final to dbzf world tour season 1 and you clapped me with 18. Said you’d rematch me soooo wya!
DM me on twitter and we can figure something out! I might not have much time until winter break though, but we'll see if we can make something work
RathFGC hey man can I play you?
You should make a cooler guide
that would be pretty cool(er)
@@RathFGC I bought cooler and I can't connect my dive kick on a combo is cooler point and bardock mid and goku gt is it a good team or should I change something
Sorry
This is absolutely useless. I came here for a guard cancel and got nothing
