	A mechanic found in ''GNT4'' and onwards. While comboing a launched opponent, the player can press {{YC}} to immediately return to a neutral, actionable state at the cost of 25% chakra. This allows the user to continue combos, stay safe from a KNJ or gives time to set up attacks while the opponent recovers. Sweeps cannot be {{YC}}-cancelled. Puts the user into a special {{YC}}-cancel stance, which is usually borrowed from their counter pose.		A mechanic found in ''GNT4'' and onwards.
