A common misconception with the blue line is that it doesn't indicate where the person is DI'ing. It indicates where they will be launched BASED on their DI. The characters will always be launched in the direction that the blue line is pointing, which is arguably better than a simple DI indicator.

It's a lot less noticeable when fighting characters that don't paralyze you. It's still there for regular hits but it's gone so quick it's not reactable and you just have to assume they will keep DIing the same direction they have been. Paying attention to the blue line really is only important for characters like pac man/zss/Kazuya/Corin

You're based for making this. It's such a big man move to actually tell people what to do against your character. I respect it. I tell people how to beat Terry stuff all the time. Besides, fact is, most people aren't willing to implement anyway, so if they do, that's just a sign they're a serious opponent, and that's what makes the game fun competitively. I'd rather beat someone by playing as well as I can than by exploiting a flaw in their gameplan that has a simple solution.

Yeah I play against my brothers all the time (I main Kirby, and they main Ness/Lucina and Yoshi) and I'm the only one that really does any researching and practicing. All my research eventually gets passed in to them as we play because every time I win, I have to open my big mouth and explain in extreme detail exactly how they can counterplay all of my maneuvers.

That and people will just stop playing your game if they don't actually know HOW TO PLAY. If you teach people how to beat you, or at least how to do something better with their character, you're actively preventing the game from dying off early. If you keep dumpstering someone, they're gonna have a shitty time, and a lot of times just drop the game and lose interest. You've removed a player from the playerbase.

The Blue Line is an indication of your launch angle when affected by DI NOT your DI itself. Obviously that launch angle changes depending on your DI, but if you are being hit to the right and are DIing In to avoid dying, that does not mean that the blue line will point inward. It will point in the direction of the launch angle of the attack you were hit by when affected by DI In. Just want to clarify that common misconception, cuz I see a lot of people see clips of people dying early to kill moves and say that the "person was DIing into the blast zone" because of the blue launch angle and that just isn't true.

This is actually really helpful information, not just because I main Kazuya, but this is also helpful for playing against Kazuya. The one thing I will say though is because of how much hitstun EWGF has, there’s really no way the Kazuya can’t follow it up with something. Even if they don’t kill you off of it with a combo, they’ll still get like 30%+ off of the hit. But hey, at least mixing up your DI lessens your chances of getting 0-to-death’d off a grab like a certain green-capped plumber we know.

Oh. I see. It’s just mind games. So basically against a good kaz, it’ll mainly be a 50/50 for each ewgf. So even if they read you, if your not at kill percent, you’ll still have another chance. That means they would have to read you at least 3-4 times. Which considering it’s about 50/50 it’s a 2/4 or 1/2 or 50/50 again.
