Starting Out With El Blaze

Hey guys I'm new to the VF series and have just picked my character El Blaze. I love high lighting quick speed, but was wondering if you guys had any tips on starting out with him.

Definitely look at Fulan's link...

Watching match vids of good players helps a lot too.

 

A couple of questions that may or may not be noobish... What does BT stand for? What does WS stand for? What is a techroll? How do you link the RD into /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif, because its not working for me? What is okizeme? What is sabaki? Thanks in advance and sorry for all the questions.

 

BT=Back turned

WS=While Standing

A techroll is where upon landing being knocked down, you hit /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif right when you touch the ground so that you get up and roll to one side immediately.

The RD for that move comes out after the kick either hits or is blocked. You just hit forward right after it connects, and he should start running.

Okizeme refers to the phase of a match where your opponent is on the ground, and all the options you have to attack them or otherwise continue your offense against them.

Sabakis are moves to parry certain attacks, depending on the move.
