Z Reflect

Blocks highs and lows, reduces blockstun

Z Reflect is a defensive tool that puts the character in a defensive stance that will block both highs and lows, and lose to Dragon Rush and throws. On a successful reflect, you will recovery sooner than normal. If you reflect a physical strike, then you will stay in place while pushing the opponent away. Reflecting a projectile will keep you in place.

By reflecting an opponent's strike they will be pushed back

Breaking Dragon Rush

When the opponent catches you with a Dragon Rush, press L/M/H between 4 frames before the hit until 4 frames after the hit to break the rush (total 9F: 4F before + the frame it hits + 4F after). You can also press Dragon Rush within ?? frames to break the rush as well.

Z Change

Your teammate will come in with a Super Dash

Hold A1/A2 or press Template:6+A1/A2 to swap out your point character with another on your team. After using a Z Change, you cannot use your teammates for anything else for a short time. Following that, there's a cooldown on using the character that was called back for a Z Assist or another Z Change. Cooldown will not commence while the opponent is in stun, but will continue if it has already commenced.

Guard Cancel

When blocking, press Template:6+A1/A2 to swap out your point character with another on your team at the cost of 1 Ki Gauge. On hit, the opponent is knocked away. On block, you cannot act and are fully punishable. As with a Z Change, you are locked out of using the character you tagged out for a short period of time. If you are down to one character, you will cancel into an attack that teleports behind the opponent instead, similar to a Vanish, only much slower and with some forward movement after the teleport.
