How do I do a guard break mid-rush combo?

The game doesn't teach this in the tutorials at all.

Yep!

Super counter or Z-counter that cost 2 points(1 point with the upgrade).

Thats a counter, I'm talking about breaking a guard while you're already started a rush combo. The CPU does it all the time, doing heavy attacks mid-combo, yet when I try to do the same by holding X it doesn't work. So I don't know how to actually do it as the Super Training does not teach this whatsoever.

Charged triangle attacks.

I do believe the game teaches you this in Training, lol. I think they call them "rush chains," but when it comes to the convoluted terminology, I'm really bad at getting the names right.

Unfortunately it does not, only how to launch people up/down, end a combo chain (which does not break guard), etc but nothing about holding the button and doing one of those heavy attacks mid-combo where you glow. But I'll go try it out in training mode.

Honestly why isnt that just holding X/Square like when you do it from a standstill. the controls in this game are obtuse as hell

Edit: I checked and they do teach charged triangles, but the tool tip only tells you that it launches people further unfortunately.

Charged triangle mid square combo will break their guard. However, a few things you need to keep in mind, you can input up, down or no input with the analog stick while doing a guard break, and depending if they are guarding up down or neutral they can block your guard break.

Also, when someone is doing a charged triangle mid square combo you can drop guard button to use perception and it will counter any guard break.

Thank you very much! Was getting a bit annoying during Ape Vegeta as he can not be grabbed. I still beat him without it but that could've saved me a headache.
