First off, I apologize if everyone already knows about this. Or, if I'm wrong ^^. I know I can be wrong; I'm certainly not an expert :P.
That being said, on with the discussion!
We can use jf dash right after we block or get hit by an attack to close in on the enemy as long as we are standing after the attack. Tap forward as soon as the block or hit animation has ended :P. We can jf dash whether we are blocking a regular attack or the ones that look a bit cooler (guard crush). One time, it was quite funny. I've been blocking this slow combo from nightmare and I was jf dashing after every single block during that combo. Every single attack failed to push me away and I kept close almost all the time ^^. I wanted to do this again and again (lol) I didn't care that my soul gage was turning red xD.
Cons.
Don't do this too often; opponents can stop their combo in anticipation and grab you as you dash forward. So it's wise to do it only when you have a decent block advantage. But you don't need the opponent's attack to be unsafe. jf dash is so fast you only need few frames of block advantage to let it rip!
Pros.
Perhaps those Hilde players should think twice before they charge hit you. If you block a charged attack, jf dash forward to gain pressure. What are they going to do next? Hit you with another charged attack soon after in order to push you back again? Not going to happen (I think). So hopefully, you'll be able to stay close for another few seconds. Some charge moves cause rock to crouch when blocked. I don't think we can jf dash when crouched (try dashing as you recover from crouch..all I got so far was regular dash O_O"). But moves that cause us to crouch aren't infamous for knocking players back anyway ^^.
jf dash after blocking may add/retain a lot of pressure when used in the right way.
I repeat, I may be wrong about some/all of this stuff because I don't have serious offline competition. So confirmations would be nice. And for those who haven't used this yet, try it and see if it's really a jf dash. xD
