Get your guns on. Sheriff is back.
Saw Rathalos post this on Neogaf but this is huge if its a universal mechanic
Now stop and think about this for a bit if you've never played KOF before and what this does to movement and matchups in and of itself if its a universal mechanic. Can't get in as Lex vs Zodd? Dodge roll for a bar. You're a zoner but folks keep rolling in on your MB Zodd balls? Bait them by firing only one quicky procectile and stuff their roll because you recovered faster than had you gone all in with a bigger spray of balls. Playing Batman? Call Batarangs as you roll through and try to setup a left right mixup.
It only gets deeper on wakeup if its a wakeup option. Bane fully armored hovering over you in the corner? Roll out. Folks avoiding your vortex as Frost? Get em to over respect it and either wait to punish their rolls or go for throws and cost them meter over and over as they panic between knockdowns.
Dodge rolls are an enormous mindgame in fighters that have them. These will also help with casuals screaming about folks like Zodd or Deathstroke online because they will have an option they can more easily understand to counter those tools. In casual games dodgerolls are everywhere, but at high level play they are more of a mind game and used sparingly.
Weigh in folks. How do you feel about this? I know as a Bane main it changes things for me a good bit on any non auto correct moves since he's a knockdown specialist.
EDIT: Confirmed universal mechanic. Aquaman shown doing it as well as Atrocitus.
