-Blodge is a technique where the player cancels a '''[[Block_(Dissidia_012)|blocking]]''' into a '''[[Dodge_(Dissidia_012)|dodge]]''' within the first four frames of the blocking state. It is a form of '''[https://glossary.infil.net/?t=Option%20Select option select]''', a sequence of inputs that can cover two defensive options within a short time frame. Since it uses universal abilities, every character can utilize it.

+Blodge is a technique in Dissidia 012 that allows a player to '''[[Block (Dissidia 012)|block]]''' and then '''[[Dodge (Dissidia 012)|dodge]]''' immediately afterwards. Similar to '''[[Dash feint|dash feints]]''', blodge exploits an early input window during block to {{keyword|cancel|cancel=1}} into a dodge. This is a universal technique; Every character can do this.

+Blodge is primarily used defensively as a form of {{keyword|option select|optionselect=1}}. That means it can cover multiple offensive options within a short time frame, which is very useful in high level play. It can evade attacks, stagger opponents and remove certain high priority projectiles without taking damage. {{012exd}} can also take advantage of blodge to chain HP attacks and fill his assist gauge faster than anyone else.
-Blodge's most common use is to pre-emptively defend against a low priority bravery move. When performed correctly, the player will automatically proceed to dodge regardless of the interaction's outcome, increasing their chances of defending properly. If a low priority bravery move connects while blocking, the opponent will get staggered. If that happens, the player can cancel their dodge's recovery into an attack for a punish. If no stagger occurs, then a dodge will happen as usual.
+== How to perform ==
-Another use for a blodge is to nullify Ranged High priority attacks, namely projectiles. When done correctly, the game will display a "Guard Crush" message Despite '''[[Attack_Priority_(Dissidia_012)|regular block losing to Ranged High]]''' attacks that inflict guard crush, blodge will still interact with said attacks without staggering the player. The Ranged High attack will be considered "hit" in this case, so projectiles like {{012emp}}'s Flare will vanish without having dealt any damage. This is easier said than done, but it is a universal method for countering higher priority projectiles.

-As the player still cancels into a dodge, all other aspects of dodging are still present, including dodge direction and '''[[Dodge_(Dissidia_012)#Dodge_punishment|punishing the dodge]]'''.

A staggered opponent can still be hit by an assist character which can be used to bypass final EX Revenge situations or as a safer method to initiate a retaliation with a max distance air dodge.

If a low priority bravery move connects while blocking, the opponent will get staggered.
