Advancing Guard: P/K Rapidly

Learn how to perform Advancing Guard (push blocking) in Darkstalkers Resurrection to push opponents back when they apply pressure.

When you are blocking an attack, go crazy on your controller or joystick, and you will push your opponent back. This is basically push blocking, and it's pretty useful at times if your opponent puts the pressure on you.

Warning: Try not to do it too often, as you might find yourself getting counter-attacked rather than successfully push blocking because you might do the Advancing Guard too early.

Tips
  • Use Advancing Guard when your opponent is applying heavy pressure.
  • Be mindful of the timing to avoid being counter-attacked.
