Potentially gamebreaking bug in Capcom Vs. SNK 2
Roll cancelling is the latest blag technique to be uncovered by top Japanese players.

This technique involves cancelling a roll immediately into a special move or taunt. This carries the roll’s 27 frames of invincibility into the special move, unbalancing the gameplay.

Meaning that moves such as Blanka’s roll can pass through projectiles. The potential to exploit this bug could detrimentally affect top-level play.

It weakens grooves that do not have rolling as a feature and reshuffles the balance of the characters.

Capcom has gone to great lengths to make the ultimate cross company beat-em-up and it’s a shame that this technique exists.

Judges may have to be used in tournament play and there’s talk of banning roll cancelling.

Because of the difficulty involved, and the similarities to parrying, not everyone is going to be able to fully utilise and apply the roll cancelling technique.
