Guilty Gear Strive<\/a>, Arc Systems Works’ latest title in their long-standing anime fighter franchise is finally here, bringing stunning visuals, engaging gameplay, and incredible rollback netcode with it.<\/p>\n

Despite being toned down from previous entries in terms of mechanics, Guilty Gear Strive still features the staple Roman Cancel system for which the system is famously known within the FGC.<\/p>\n

If you’re a beginner, this might be a daunting system to wrap your head around, so we’ll break down how to trigger each type of RC and how to use it to your advantage.<\/p>\n

Guilty Gear Strive – How to use Roman Cancel<\/h2>\n

Red Roman Cancel<\/h3>\n

\"red<\/p>\n

The red RC activates when you’re hitting an opponent, whether they’re blocking or not, giving you opportunities to create mixups or to extend combos to score massive amounts of damage.<\/p>\n

Yellow RC can be punished if the opponent smells it coming, but if it lands, they’ll have such a disadvantageous position that you can frametrap them and get your own offense started.<\/p>\n

Blue Roman Cancel<\/h3>\n

\"blue<\/p>\n

The blue RC activates on the neutral, which means when you’re not pressing any buttons and you’re not at a disadvantageous position (i.e forced to block a string or getting comboed).<\/p>\n

This isn’t exclusive to blue RC, however, you might find yourself using this next tip paired alongside it more, and that’s the fact that you can move while performing a Roman Cancel.<\/p>\n

To do so, tap your stick or d-pad twice in any cardinal direction (left, right, up, and down) while performing an RC, and your character will move in the direction of your choosing.<\/p>\n
