Walkthrough

- 4The opponent will attempt to push back, indicated by their strength meter rising. You must press the block button (usually 'B' on Xbox or Space on PC) at the right time to counter their push.

Tips

- Mastering the block timing is crucial. A mistimed block will allow the opponent to gain an advantage.
- If you are struggling, try to find a rhythm with the button presses and blocks.
