Projectiles and Super Freeze

Projectiles in XRD have a strange property: they can move and hit opponents during the super freeze! This allows for pseudo-unblockable attacks as well as setups to force the opponent to block slower attacks.

Let's look at a simple example with Ky

1. Ky performs Charged Stun Edge (236D)
2. Charged Stun Edge travels toward opponent
3. Ky performs Sacred Edge (236236P)
4. Charged Stun Edge will move forward during Sacred Edge's super freeze and hit the opponent.
   • If the opponent was not blocking before the super freeze, then they will get hit!

Another example is Venom: he can launch a set of balls, then perform Dark Angel (2363214S). This is much more difficult for the opponent to avoid than just performing Dark Angel at neutral!
