Learn about range pressure in BlazBlue: Central Fiction, a technique used when an opponent is cornered and you control the distance.
Range pressure is primarily applied when the opponent is cornered and has extremely limited movement options, with no space behind them. This situation allows you to fully control the distance between you and your opponent. The concept involves safely maintaining the advantage by staying at your optimal range, ready to react to the opponent's actions. Because the opponent is cornered and you are at your preferred range, they are forced to respect your position and are unlikely to attack, as doing so would almost necessarily result in them taking a counter hit. This also imposes the huge threat of you using any mixup at any moment. Consequently, the opponent will most likely try to jump away whenever they get a chance. This is where they fall into your trap, allowing you to react to their attempt to escape, for example, with an air grab.
