Luna making a Just Defend
Just Defend is a defensive gameplay mechanic that was first introduced in Garou: Mark of the Wolves and also introduced in Capcom Vs SNK 2.
Just Defends are executed by pressing 
or 
to block an attack at the very last moment just before the attack hits. Just Defend has two distinct advantages over blocking an attack normally:
- The player performing a Just Defend recovers much faster from blockstun than they would from a normal block, allowing the player to counterattack.
- The player performing a Just Defend, instead of taking chip damage as they would from blocking an attack, recovers a small bit of health instead.
