I'm noticing a few people saying that this video might be less useful soon, since Dragon Rush will change slightly in season 3, but don't worry!
The topics I chose to go in-depth here are important for any season of DBFZ (and any fighting game in general, actually). The lessons learned here apply perfectly even with the slight DR changes.
(Thanks for watching my videos, as always! The support has been great from all of you)

All y’all that mash, mash reflect, and wake up buttons need to see this vid. Literally no one online plays defense on this game. Like a lot of players have great offense but once u get them in a sliding knockdown situation, their LAST option is to block the mix

[bg-cchn]

High quality as always. Appreciate the explanation on what a fuzzy mash is since I have heard the term used more of late

Hi Rath, just wanted to say that amongst all the fg channels I watch, you're by far my favorite.

I love your content, so thank you for putting it out and have a good day.
Now lets watch this

[god_lushen]

I watch this everyday before playing rank, thank you Rath for you have taken me to SSJ rose

Now I'm a Pride Trooper 😊The sky is the limit!🔥

A God of Destruction now🐐 You better listen to Rath Sensei

[Phasmania]

Your vids are great. Concise, to the point, well edited, and informational. Hope your channel blows up one day (context is important for that last sentence)

Hey m8, hope you're having a nice day, thanks for the lessons

[SnackCannon]

I feel like a large majority of people who play this game really needed this video. I've fought so many players who fail to realize the options they actually have, and do really stupid shit either out of habit, or simply because they're panicking. I think the most important part of this lesson is the emphasis on WHEN to do a thing, and not just HOW to do a thing.

you’re a legend brother. you’re the man

[Matthehuman]

I get so hyped when I see you’ve uploaded

[inkpup]

Thanks for this. Honestly. Its crazy cause ive always wanted to be better at fighting games. In all aspects. I'm an advocate of "rank doesn't equate to skill" but I can say I have spent less than 5 hours total in training mode on dragon ball. I still dont understand everything all that much but I made it to living legend rank by sheer trial and error. Ill even ask for a teacher

[MGSBigBoss]

Your videos of this game are insightful stuff man! very intelligent and well put discussions in every DBFZ video you post. You certainly come across as another cool person out there, besides maybe few others like; Desk, Xiao or Zed596 who make cool ass stuff around DBFZ! Well done playa.

[rakunbuncit]

i swear everytime rath upload a vid it's always a treat

[MrFlip]

This was really an insightful video. Defense is always kind of scary but this broke it down into something easy to digest and make it less scary to understand.

[shade]

This was all what I needed to improve my defense, thanks for the vid!

[thekoolaidman]

Love the videos. Even if I already know all this from the first time watching this, its always a great video to rewatch as a refresher as well.

[alecsiszuniga]

Bro, I find this video for a YouTube suggestion, and you actually help me so much.
Thx for that and nice form to explain, bless you.

"how do i block that mix?" "Get hit by that lot. Learn what the mix looks like."

[supersaiyantravis]

Holy hell, more people need to see this video(or not lol, it'd make my life easier). These tips are great, especially how they call out all the natural Instincts and thoughts of someone trying to figure out defending on their own!

[ronsonaquino]

Always anticipating your vids :) I learn a lot from them! Thank youuu
