In BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Hades Izanami is a force to be reckoned with. Some of her scariest abilities include stopping time to freely damage her opponent, command throws, an intense air-to-ground mix-up thanks to a floating mechanic, and the infamous “ribcage,” which grants limited super armor.

Learning to defend against the monstrous Imperator is no small task, but Dora, famous for his Bang play in BlazBlue, made a new video where he shows a typical Izanami attack string and shows ways to get out of it. While Izanami activates her Drive, she can’t block, but she can fill in the gaps in her pressure with projectiles, firing at will.

Typically, many players try to Barrier Block her attacks and then jump out, but blocking the projectile brings them to the ground right away. Dora recommends letting yourself get hit by the projectiles to tech above as a different strategy to get out. Furthermore, he explains her 2A jab and points out that her standing C is a good moment to activate Overdrive.

Watch the clip over on Openrec.tv to learn from Dora. Unlike his other videos, he made this one in English with subtitles, so let’s show our support–Dora says he’s eager to make more BlazBlue content if people like it.
