Just Defend is a defensive mechanic in several fighting games, but was first introduced in Garou: Mark of the Wolves.

Just Defends are executed by pressing B or DB at the moment just before an enemy's attack is able to hit. This window is only just a few frames wide, but offers several advantages over blocking an attack normally, including, but not limited to (taken from Garou);

  • Regains a small amount of Life back, even if the move normally does chip damage
  • Reduced blockstun, allowing the player to recover faster than if they would normally block an attack
  • Increased power gauge gain
  • Can be performed in the air in games where airblocking is not permitted (ie: Garou)
  • No loss of guard meter
  • Can perform guard cancels by inputting special moves during the Just Defend
