Mind of Tenkaichi: The offense Part 1

Well now that we have the basics out of the way, We can move to much more pressing matters at hand; How to attack properly. For those new to the series, this section will actually be of great use to you and might even help some veteran players step up their game as well =P. Alright lets go to it!

Legend

^= Triangle(Ki attack)
[]= Square(Melee attack)
O= Circle (Guard)
X= duh(movement)
l2 = power up
r1= fly upward/jump
r2= fly downward

Alright First thing is to talk about the importance of mid and long range ki blasts. It is very important to use Ki Blasts through out the fight to force your opponent to deal with them. They have several ways of dealing with a ki blast.

Ways to deal with a Ki blast:

*Moving out of the way
*Blocking
*Reflecting then back toward the opponent.

The idea is to condition your opponent to deal with one of these 3 ways of dealing with your blasts. Each characters blasts are different because they have a different effect depending on many things(how long its charged how close etc)

Lets say your at midscreen you shoot ki blasts at your opponent. Your opponent decides that they want to block your ki blasts(not a very smart move). If your opponent decides to block your ki blasts. This allows you to move in freely on them. Making rush attacking much easier on you because you are at an advantage. You may as well call this frame advantage. If your opponent attacks you after blocking your ki blasts, They are now giving you a chance to combo them. You can do several things after a Ki blast is blocked

* Throw
* [] rush >left+O(teleport behind opponent)
* [] rush to combo(if opponent gets hit)

If your opponent moves out of the way of your ki blasts. Then you can either continue to shoot them with blasts or take that time to power up. If they are moving in close toward you try to put some distance between you. If they are blindly attacking you, You can actually get off a Strong ki blast in their face(l2 +^ This should be used rarely or unless you have really good prediction lol)
