What is the blocking move you use the most?

[Reimu_H]

Personally, i use High more (Probably what most people do). I'm terrible at timing Omni :|

[Zero_Ruzai]

Actually, from what little i use Exdeath, I use mid block and omni block. Mid block has a much lower cool down time, so that's the only reason I like it more, since my blocks aren't totally reliable, but I've gotten good with omni, so the attacks that should be blocked by high block, i can usually get with omni as well

If you can do the same job blocking something, no matter if it's harder or not, use Omni-Block.

When someone blocks with Omni-Block, you know shit's goin down.

[Zero_Ruzai]

God it's terrifying.

First thought: I'm screwed.
Then: Omg, I'm going to escape!
Exdeath: F*** you.

Personally, I only use Omni-Block. I play a weird (and possibly very bad) Exdeath. I only bother to use Omni-Block for HP attacks or other things I know I can't normal block. Everything else gets normal blocked, and is met with a quick Black Hole. If not a normal block then Delta Attack.

[TyrantWave]

High Block, unless I know I can Omni it.

Some things can't be High Blocked. For everything else, there's Omni Block.

[Bloodsword83]

I use High Block the most. I only really throw out an Omni Block when I need it or when I'm trying to confuse my opponents with Double Guard.

I go ahead and just use the High Guard over normal block. I can do much more damaging counterattacks that way. Not only that, but when you have Midair Evasion Boost, you can activate High Guard right out of a dodge. It's really effective if they try to punish your dodge with a BRV attack.

You can't possibly be any worse than me. I sit there & charge the Omni Block for like a fucking hour, waiting for the opponent to do something.

Needless to say, I'm nowhere near mastering Exdeath.

Low Block like a pro.

(hurr durr)

Quoted for truth. Also, the Major sucks at Exdeath.

[Major Tom]

No way! I'm a PRO, I'm into 2 digits when it comes to playtime and everything!

Seriously, I've never used low block really, but I feel sorry for the guy/gal who does.

[Zero_Ruzai]

The level 5 Exdeath pros out there who can't figure out good ways to level up plz.

They're all pros and can utilize Low Block like a pro

[Major Tom]

Indeed.

Level 5 pros.

[Mythical]

High Guard, because I often utilize Double Guarding.

[runic]

I love messing with CPUs as Exdeath (because my PSP's Wifi doesn't work, I just bought a new one though). They make good practice for High Block, because their BRV attacks are easy to see coming, and you can easily see when you need to start the block. Naturally, High Block sees the most use. By the way, does anyone have any suggestions for timing Omni? I just can't get it right. I'm thinking about using Exdeath a lot when I get a PSP with working Wifi, and I want to have all his moves down.

[Bloodsword83]

My advice for getting Omni Block right: TONS of practice. It will take many painful defeats before you finally get it down to an art.

[RavenCarver]

Omni block a lot when facing Cloud or Sephy, and then most other people have predicable blockable attacks.
Except Kuja. And Golbez on the wrong stage.

I recall lolDying by you.... You inspired me to learn Exdeath an put him in as a sub! (My very FIRST sub ;D)

Only Omni Block Braver and Cross Slash against Cloud. High Block will do most of the other work. If he's in EX Mode GET AWAY FROM HIM. RUN AWAY. RP to safety. Relying on Omni Block against Cloud's EX Mode is risky. Too risky for my tastes.

Against Sephi, it's important to remember that you can block Sudden Cruelty with High Guard if the Sephiroth tries to punish a dodge. As with Cloud, you really only need to Omni Block his HP attacks.

lol Kuja. Your best bet is to lure him to the ceiling and get him with Delta Attack after you hit him with RP.

I'm glad to have had that effect on you. ^_^

[firewaterblizzardthunder]

Omni. But only because he's my main and I'm practicing omni timings. When I was still new to Exdeath I always used High and Low

[benfen]

I'm with Neo. I'm sire my Omni's block with supreme power, after the charging time that was double the casting of fucking STARFALL.
