Some preliminary testing on Hurricane Blast

I just did a couple of quick tests with Skorbrand against a Warlord. It seemed like Warlord couldn't dodge fast enough to ever avoid Hurricane Blast, but this is wrong. There are in fact many options for characters with short dashes to avoid Hurricane Blast. Double dash back completely negates it. You can't cancel into Guard Break due to the roll, and Hurricane Blast itself will miss from distance. You can cancel into Wind Gust, but then again why are you taking 25 over 35 damage from a parry.

Unlocking and rolling does not work, and side dashing with slow characters does not work. Yay.

Basically, once a player takes 5 minutes to learn what they have to do against Hurricane Blast, its back to being pretty worthless.

It can still be used on moves with very high recovery, but these are usually very rarely used.
