Buttons based on PS3 version and controls
Cancels: You can cancel some actions by grabbing a block
Climb Cancels:
Hitting X, or Grab, before you finish climbing onto a block will snap you back down to where you starting climbing from. This is a method of baiting and footsies, a good way to bait a Drop Kick from an opponent above you.
Push Cancels:
When you and your opponent are on either side of a block, if you go to push the block at the same time the block is pulled you will start to climb a block that is not there. Causing you to fall. To counter this double tapping Grab will cause you to climb cancel instead.
Drop Kick Cancels (DKCs):
Hitting X, or Grab, right before you step off a block to Drop Kick your opponent will cancel you stepping down a block, but still put out a hitbox. You need to be able to auto-snap to a block when pressingGrab. DKCs also seem to be easier when kicking horizontally.
Hitstun Canceling (The DP, Teching):
Hitting X, or Grab, as soon as touching the block after getting dropped kicked or dropping multiple layers will let you cancel the impact animation letting DP, pushing a block from under someone comboing you. Or if you get knocked onto a Trap block it allows you to grab the block and immediately walk off the block rather die “Teching” the hit
Altered State:
Hitstun Cancelling however does have one, very important side effect, being that puts you into what is called the Altered State, or Fall Install. After activating this state the next time you sidle, or hang off a block, you will let go immediately. This is important to be aware of because what would usually be a not so harmless pillow hit will no longer cause you to grab the ledge below you, you'll just fall instead.
