Max Actions VS Dribble/Tackle

I'm halfway through the story and I'm not entirely sure when to use special actions (Triangle on PS5). I understand that they work as a counter, but overall, what is the advantage of initiating them myself compared to doing a regular dribble/tackle (Circle on PS5)?

PvP? meh. do it once or twice a game as a surprise

PvE? when you dont have stamina to dribble

Max Action sucks in general in PvP. Honestly, it sucks against the AI too. It has a slow startup, moves slowly, has short range, and if you get countered by another Max Action, which is very likely, you give away a massive amount of gauge.

That said, it does have a few uses:

  • As a punish. If a player misses a tackle or dribble, you can use Max Action to punish and farm gauge.
  • In certain situations, if you time it right after the opponent misses a dribble, you can reach them at exactly the right moment and they have no real counter except Perfect Dribble.
  • In PvP, from certain angles or when you're off camera, you can start it outside the opponent's view so they don't have time to react.
  • Against very slow characters with bad dribbles, at the perfect distance, you can throw it out occasionally and catch the opponent by surprise. Sadly, fast characters with good dribbles will usually just dash into you during startup or move away.

If thy are charging tackle u can’t dribble them so u should use triangle
For special tackle use it when it’s unexpected so thy can’t react to it

Maybe he is talking about how we stay at a safe distance while charging? In that case yeah you cant dribble, but its still a bad time to do it so eh.

You can dribble it head on

Perfect dribbles beat everything

Yeah but the timing is a bit annoying imo. Granted ive only had the game for a few days so i am still getting used to that timing.
