Stunt Double mechanic isn't explained in tutorial

[Qviss]

Everyone should know that during block stun you can swap character by inputting → + a tag command. It costs 1 dramatic tension and causes your bench character to use it's ensemble attack while tagging in.

Before someone asks, a=assist (mp+Mk/HP+HK)

I meant it like "a tag command" D:

In other games, they're called alpha counters. And honestly, they're not really a necessity. It's just a nice thing to know.

They're not a necessity, actually. They're useful, surely, but if they were a necessary part of gameplay, solos would be worthless in a defensive situation, since everyone would just use setups where an alpha counter is necessary to escape.

With your logic, you can say that with anything. Supers are not a necessity, throws are not a necessity, launchers are not a necessity.

I was just saying you guys are brushing it off when it is a HUGE part of the game. Well, by the players I play I guess its not to them, but once you get on that level, every tool in your belt is necessary to win. That move can be a game altering move if done at the right time.

Actually, I can think of a few situations involving assists where Up+Back+Throw is 100% absolutely necessary to escape if you have no meter.

i guarentee you thats not true. There is not setup that you have to jump up back and throw to get out of a string. And if a throw is a necessity in that situation, it loops back around to where the alpha counter is a necessity to get out of that same situation.
