Description
Drive Reversal is a critical defensive technique in the realm of fighting games. It enables a player to turn the tables on an opponent by interrupting their attack and pushing them away or leaving them vulnerable. This move is often used to avoid taking damage and regain control of the match. Drive Reversals usually require precise timing and can consume a portion of the player's resource meter, which adds a strategic layer to their use. By mastering Drive Reversal, players can create opportunities to shift momentum in their favor, making it a key skill for competitive play.
