A standalone attack that does more damage than your standard M1 attacks.
- Cannot be blocked, must be parried, dodged or canceled with an M1
- Certain styles provide hyper-armor which can not be canceled by an M1 and must be parried
- Some styles have Ragdoll M2s which ragdolls the victim on hit for a short amount of time.
A held block is the wrong response to a Critical. Learn its animation, then decide whether to parry, move or interrupt.
