Description
In fighting games, a Flipout is a defensive mechanic that allows a character to swiftly recover from a juggle state, thereby interrupting an opponent's combo. This can be a strategic move to regain control of the match and avoid taking excessive damage. Flipouts are designed to add a layer of depth to the gameplay, offering players a chance to counteract aggressive combo chains and creating a more dynamic and balanced combat experience. The timing and execution of a Flipout can vary between games, and mastering this mechanic often requires practice and a keen understanding of the game’s physics and combo system.
Examples
- In 'Dragon Ball FighterZ,' characters can perform a Flipout by pressing a specific combination of buttons while being juggled, allowing them to escape an opponent's combo string.
- In 'Tekken 7,' players can use the back roll tech to perform a Flipout, which helps them quickly get back on their feet and reset the neutral game, making it harder for the opponent to continue their offensive pressure.
Additional Information
- Flipouts can be used strategically to disrupt an opponent's rhythm and create opportunities for counterattacks.
- Some games may have different types of Flipouts, such as air Flipouts or ground Flipouts, each with their own specific inputs and timing.
