Since there has been no game with both air block and roll/dodging, which do you prefer?
I've grown accustomed to rolling/dodging, but I still prefer air block as a method of getting close to an opponent. It isn't as risky as rolling since you aren't vulnerable after landing on the ground, whereas you are vulnerable after you stop rolling.
Rolling is faster IMO, but its risky if your opponent can catch you out of a roll. You're also more exposed to any grab/throw move.
