Roman Cancels are Guilty Gear's signature mechanic. Understanding them is essential to reach high-level play.
Types of Roman Cancels
Red RC during attacks for combo extensions. Yellow RC while blocking for reversals. Purple RC in neutral for approaches. Blue RC during recovery for safety.
Drift RC
Holding a direction during RC moves you. Use for positioning, mixups, and extending pressure. Essential for advanced play.
Meter Management
Each RC costs 50% meter. Learn when to spend and when to save. A coach can teach you optimal RC usage for your character.
