How do i dodge ultimates or abilities?

[BJORNtobeWILD_YOUTUBE]

I seem to be able to do a dodge if i spam x when i am getting hit. Or when the high speed counters occur that's where i can time it to.
But i can't seem to be able to dodge an ability or an ultimate like i see other players do.
Any tips?

Best not to try and dodge an ultimate if it has a long range.

Rule #1 if you dont know the timing properly, just block
Rule #2 grabs are mostly either short ranged or not dynamic, meaning that dodging a grab is mostly a thing of knowing the animation and which characters abilities are grabs
Rule #3 if an attack is blockable but you were unable to block it, you would most likely also be unable to dodge
Rule #4 learn which abilities have tracking and at which range they can be or need to be dodged
(Galick Gun and SBC can be dodged at medium range shortly before they are fired, but can not be dodged in point blank range and need to be blocked)
Rule #5 High Speed dodges are 90% developing a feeling for the timing.

Generally you need to learn how to do it.

Ultimates where they come to you (AKA DIO and Jotaro)can be blocked for HUGE punish if the opponent is out of stamina.Or alternatively punished with a skill or even an ultimate if he does have.
As for ultimates where they are ranged(AKA Vegeta,Goku and yugi)I think the best punish is dodge but if you mess it up you better read a prayer.If you don't know the timings I recommend just block.

ultimates u block most are full screen and wide and abilities such as beams and etc u can side step but ones that track u have to block like kaioken or anything of the sort
