Description
Bounce Cancel is a strategic move used in fighting games to maximize damage and extend combos. When an opponent is hit, they may enter a 'bounce' state where they are temporarily airborne or recoiling from an attack. By performing a Bounce Cancel, a player can interrupt this state, preventing the opponent from recovering and creating an opportunity to continue the offensive. This technique often requires precise timing and execution, making it a skillful maneuver that can turn the tide of a match. While not all fighting games feature Bounce Cancels, those that do offer players an additional layer of depth and strategy, encouraging creativity and mastery of the game's mechanics.
Examples
- In 'Dragon Ball FighterZ', players can use a Bounce Cancel to extend their combos after launching an opponent into the air, allowing for more devastating attacks.
- In 'Mortal Kombat 11', certain characters have moves that can bounce the opponent off the ground, and with a well-timed cancel, players can chain these into more complex and powerful combos.
Additional Information
- Bounce Cancels often require specific inputs or conditions to be met, making them a high-risk, high-reward strategy.
- Practicing Bounce Cancels can significantly improve a player's combo potential and overall performance in competitive play.
