Stupid Question: How do you dash-block?

[STB Bodam]

Alright, this is really embarrassing. I simply don't know how to do dash blocking. I got wrecked last night on the stream because of it. Is there some certain trick to doing it effectively? I mean, I can do it but I see people doing it so fast.

Please, if someone could help...

Block, then: Block Block Block etc. (relatively fast)

So basically you only need to press forward twice for the first dash. Then you can just tap forward once and it will dash again. And you need to cancel your dashes (or backdashes) half way with block. That's pretty much it.

What he said.

Be ready to sharpen up those reflexes for quick dashing and blocking, it'll really come in handy for your defensive game. Muscle memory is key.

I find it easier to press block first, then dash.

I'll tack on my noob question on to this...

Does this same technique apply to midscreen juggling...such as jax's dash 1 (repeated)?

Yes, the 1 will cancel your dash. Much like blocking. (I actually don't even pay attention to my dash pressing, I just keep tapping forward and cancel each dash with a 1 in my juggles[with jax, or johnny]. Sounds like I don't know what I'm doing, but I get the juggles down enough to not worry about how I play)

Thanks much, that's what I was looking for.
