hold/keep/Fix combos

Pressing active block right after any combo step except the last will cancel the last key press in the combo. For example, the combo is UL, UR, M. I press UL, then UR, then X for active block. UR will then fade out and I get to press it again. This also works if you press the wrong key. For example, I press UL, then M by accident. If I immediately press X after M, the combo will back up a step, allowing me to correct my mistake.

A second use of this is to "hold" a combo. This is because it is possible to keep a combo hot indefinitely by canceling the 2nd to last key press over and over. You can use this to buy yourself time as you find an opening for a large combo like SSX or SDS.

yay to that!
That is so nice. I now can keep a large combo up running around,
and when I want I can just turn and BANG!

I just hit the arrow, and immediately hit X
(have to use the X to stop the swinging animation of the swing)

Friend in game told me about it. I was just letting every one here know about it as I did not see it posted here.

I'm fairly sure this is fixed after the latest patch. I cannot get it to hold or back up my combo's anymore due to the changes with active blocking.
