Parry Drive Rush

[YellowFlashKid]

Does anyone know how I can perform parry drive rush while I'm attacking? I know that the input is Drive Parry -- forward x2, but I seems to either lack consistency or there is another easier way to do so. Any tips would be appreciated.

I've so far used the cancel drive rush, but that costs 3 bars.

If you do it while you are attacking it will cost 3 bars, the other one is forward x2 during parry but press the parry button at the same time of the second forward so it costs less.

if you want to cancel into it, its just forward forward during a move (but it costs more drive gauge), if you want to link into it, hold parry until the move ends and then press forward forward after it (costs less gauge but might not be viable in all situations)

Edit: to add to that, you can also do forward then parry+forward, or forward then parry then forward. either of those work.

To be clear, you're talking about instantly using Drive Rush when you return to neutral after an attack? Not cancelling out of anything? Drive Rush cancelling will always use the 3 bars.

If so, you can just hold parry in advance and just focus on the timing of the dash input.

There's three types of Drive Rush.
Parry Cancel. This is Parrying, then doing the Dash input.
Actual Drive Rush. This is doing the dash input and THEN pressing Parry.
Drive Rush Cancel. This is doing a Drive Cancelable normal and then inputting dash.

Examples of Drive Rush Cancelable move is any light or low medium; some characters have standing mediums and even heavies that can be canceled, experiment. You can chain these together in a combo repeatedly until you are out of Drive Bar.

Input example on Zangeif:
6HP 66 6HP 66 6HP 66 MP MP MP
or
>HP >> >HP >> >HP >> MP MP MP

a really easy and fast way to do parry DR is to press your parry input simultaneously with the second -> input of a dash. If it doesnt come out, the parry was not pressed in time with the -> input.

This technique has some advantages over holding parry and doing a dash -- you arent stuck in parry startup or recovery which is unsafe, and you also dont telegraph what youre going to do by parrying.

it can still be hard to do consustently, but i find doing the parry simultaneously with the second -> works pretty much every time
