A black flash is when a player performs a critical hit + a perfect block. It is incredibly hard to do and requires expert timing to do so. It does a lot of damage much more than critical hit. There is also a badge that has something to do with Black Flash, but it is unknown why it is not awarded when players perform their first black flash. Performing a perfect block after a critical hit (without being ragdolled in between) will allow the player to perform a "Black Flash", with black and red particles indicators emitting from the opponent. This does double the damage of the standard Critical Hit (6x the normal M1). Black Flashes can also occur on a different target if the player transfers it to them instead of their opponent.
What a black flash looks like
- A Black Flash can be performed for up to ~4 seconds after performing a critical hit. After that, the user will need to perform another critical hit in order to Black Flash again.
- It is possible to perform Black Flash continuously within this timeframe, however, only 2 Black Flashes can be achieved under normal circumstances.
- 3 or more is possible by increasing the Attack Speed Multiplier with the PS+ Gamepass.
- The user can also do "Black Flash" to M1 variations like Mini-Uppercut and Downslam (deals 24% damage in a single strike without previous M1s).
- The Black Flash is inspired by the show Jujutsu Kaisen. In the show, the Black Flash is done by applying cursed energy on a physical attack within an extremely short amount of time, and it is unlikely to pull off. Just like the "Black Flash" in The Strongest Battlegrounds.
