Hisoutensoku: How to Defend [Defense Basics/Intermediate]
130This was long overdue honestly...
Anyhow, here is the defense video I've been talking about for so long, finally out, completed and all that jazz!
My overall feelings are positive i would say, even if i think this entire video could be made either better, shorter or better and shorter but I guess i just operate in a different way at the end of the day... as someone else would put it, "I'm built different... maybe incorrectly".
Aside from my own review of the video, I still think this is quite useful and contains a lot of information that can help a beginner or an intermediate player or even an higher level player to really clean up their defense or at least add something to the already melting pot.
I don't really have anything else to add, video done, took me almost two years, enjoy the fruit of 7 years of playing Hisoutensoku and trying to figure out an easy way to not die when put inside the pressure blender.
See you next time with an HisoutenShort or something else that is a bit more low effort.
If you want more "Defense Resources" by the way, here is a very useful guide made by PC_volt: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12-eN1_1rmzTxbHM76426eiHVQ2fw_S3uBacfLtBcaeg/edit?usp=sharing
N.B: At 24:10 (and in general during the BE1 section) I explain how BE1 recovers faster than BE2 but this isn't correct; what i meant to say and write in the script was that BE1 is shorter in the jump and FEELS faster (but its 35 frames like BE2). Apologies for the incorrect information, was kinda tired when i wrote the last part of the script...
