Why basket? Well because all you need to do is get 1 catch and you have the game in your hands.
Also, because the shape is similar to a basket when you do it.
Some notes about this step:
~The timing is a bit strict when it comes to the double tap, since floating costs MP and losing MP when doing a step is NOT a goal you should have.
~Should only be used when an opponent is either Stunned or hit with a Tier 2 Hitstun Level or higher.
~Very very lag sensitive, only viable when against opponents with good connection
~I recommend mastering using the Bounce as a catching tool first before learning this step, This will allow you to check-mate your opponent.
~Useless in PvE.
~Can be done in one direction.
~An extremely effective normals guarding step. This whole step is 1 giant hitbox and cannot be punished with melee attacks without giving the opponent a trade
