RQ: DFK 1.5 laser cancel mechanics with each style

Post by Obscura »

A quick DFK 1.5 question:

After getting a clear with Strong style, I went back and played a quick credit with Bomb style, and found that I was getting popped by lasers in ways I didn't expect; for instance, the stage 4 boss, when she puts the "laser drone" down, with Strong I can just laser under the drone to cancel the laser, whereas with Bomb, it'd be an auto-bomb every time I did that. I've seen references to the fact that the laser cancel mechanics are different with each style, but I haven't seen exactly what the differences are explained -- can anyone explain how the laser cancels work with each style?

Strong and Power Style Boost can push back any laser. Bomb and Power Style Normal has to dodge it. I think you can Hyper to be able to push the larger lasers back with Bomb and Power Style Normal, but could be remembering that wrong. Any small laser is fine with any style.

Yes, hypering gives you a strong laser no matter what style, so you can use a hyper if you need to pushback large lasers.
