Not sure I like block button turning the dash into a run - potential to be off by a frame or so (or you know, online lag) and blow your endurance meter on a run instead of blocking after the dash. If there's another input for it (such as hold forward and block) then that should prevent such issues.

You should meet Guilty Gear players.

This is much much different from Guilty Gear NEgative penalty or cancelling Dash with FD. In GG you don't lose access to movement tools because you turtled to much unlike this mechanic.

No canceling forward dash with block? We need a more confident confirmation than this.

This would mean you could only cancel attacks from run but not from dash?

That agility meter just got 10000% more important if thats true because in the video you definitely see Sub Zero cancel his run into an attack.

Could you cancel from back dash too because it costs meter?

Actually.... Thinking about it... Id be ok with this.

Me too. If walk speed is fast then I'm ok with not being able to cancel dashes with block. As long as you can still cancel them attacks!

The scrubs have won. The death of zoning has finally come.

Anti zoning zealots (aka smoke mains) must have made their voices heard

There is a video actually confirming it http://www.gamespot.com/videos/e32014-interview-with-the-lead-designer-of-mortal-/2300-6419476/

Odd, he only said you can "Back-Dash" with the meter. So dose that mean tap back twice then it auto-burns 1 bar of meter? or will there be a specific button? All in due time I suppose.
