Really struggling trying to do instant air dashes. Are they harder in vsav or has it just been too long since I've played an air dashing game?

I'm having troubles doing them forwards when I'm facing the right.

Not all characters have them, so maybe that your problem? Are you playing Zombie or Lei-Lei?

[Khanh]

They are definitely harder

Lei lei yes

[Anjon]

Can someone tell me what the point of deactivating a Dark Force manually is? I know some characters get limited properties from them. Lei Lei can't throw, for instance, so I can understand a player deactivating hers early, but I've seen Felicia players like Nekohashi activate Kitty Helper for a short while, then cancel it. Dark Forces don't continually drain meter and Felicia doesn't lose anything from having Kitty Helper active. You also can't gain the meter back by canceling it out, so why do people do it?

[Skankin Garbage]

Because you are unable to move or block when your Dark Force wears off. If your opponent is ready to strike you when that happens they will get a free combo. Manual decativation allows you to be unpredictable about it, and it allows you to deactivate when you think you're safe.

Where are the matchup threads? I'm getting my ass kicked with Zabel because i dont know what to do. I can do his combos/iAD and even tech hit easily but I lack matchup knowledge. And watching videos dont really help explain to me what to do in a matchup.
