Description
In the realm of fighting games, unblockables refer to specific attacks or sequences that the opponent is unable to block, no matter their input or strategy. These moves are designed to break through defensive stances and often require players to adopt alternative tactics to avoid or counter them. Unblockables can add a strategic layer to gameplay, forcing players to think on their feet and react quickly. They are typically balanced within the game mechanics to ensure fair play, but they can also be a source of frustration if not implemented thoughtfully. Understanding the timing, positioning, and context of these moves is crucial for both executing and defending against them effectively.
Examples
- Street Fighter V: In this game, certain V-Trigger moves can create unblockable situations where the opponent must evade rather than block.
- Tekken 7: Characters like Akuma have specific moves that can bypass blocks, forcing opponents to sidestep or counter in order to avoid damage.
Additional Information
- Unblockables can sometimes be countered by specific character abilities or evasion techniques.
- Game developers often tweak unblockables through patches to maintain balance and fairness in competitive play.
