T-Cancel

T-Cancel allows Serena to cancel certain attacks by pressing two attack buttons together during the startup of the attack. Costs one Action Gauge to use. Upon T-Canceling, Serena creates an afterimage of herself performing the same attack that she canceled. All clone attacks are treated as mids and can also be blocked in the air. In the scenario of 5A/B/C/D T-Cancel, a direction must be pressed in combination with two attack buttons for the T-Cancel to occur.
