How to block dragon rush from the sky?

[DragonH]

Every time i try to block a dragon rush that is done from the air, either holding back or down i get knocked, how do i block it?

The only way is just 2H? Or there's other way?

I assume you mean Super Dash, right? You can't block the Dragon Rush (which is a throw).

If you mean you are on the ground, and the opponent is in the air - you can simply block. If they are hitting you, they aren't doing a Super Dash, they are air dashing. Any hit done from the air is considered an overhead. This move is one of my staples. The Super Dash itself won't overhead you though. Maybe he's colliding with you, and striking on the way down?

If you mean you are both in the air and he Super Dashes you, you can also just hold back.

No sir, he is in the air, and he presses the RB Button to dash to me, how do i block that, without using 2H?

Gotcha.

Then it is stopped the same way as on the ground - you either have to Dragon Rush them at the same time, or just smack them with a light attack. Any attack will interrupt a Dragon Rush.

you can't block by attacking. you block like in any other fighting game by holding back. unlike Street Fighter you can even block while being airborne.

Sigh.

You can't block a Dragon Rush. That is it's basic purpose.

Recover just after hitting the wall.

just make sure you are standing block if you are coruch blocking and it comes from the air at certain angles it seems to be an over head or you can just 2H

Oh okay, thanks.

you cant block a dragon rush, you have to counter it by pressing an attack button or using your own dragon rush the moment they use it.

if you mean super dash then it doesn't matter what kind of block you use, the SD counts as a standing attack not an overhead. one thing to be aware of is that if it gets used at a weird angle it can sometimes go behind you ever so slightly & get past your block.

You don't block dragon rush (which is the throw move in DBFZ), you tech it.
Get your words straight.

He also said RB which IS the Dragon Throw, but then talked about using 2H to stop it. I'm really not certain which one he meant at this point, but the answer to both questions are here.

To clarify:

Dragon Rush = RB = throw
Super Dash = RT (R2) = auto streak towards opponent

an air dragon rush wont grab someone whos on the ground, and vice versa. if someone does dragon rush in the air and youre blocking on the ground, nothing will happen

like other peeps said, dragon rush isnt blockable; its a grab, you have to break it or jump to avoid it. against a superdash, like peeps said, its not an overhead, so just hold down/back and block it or stuff it with 2H
