Blocking in Dissidia is absolute essential to master the higher challenges of the game like IC and Blackjack ;) You'll do so much BRV damage when you stagger your opponent, that battles will become a breeze :P Better equips help too, I have the ultimate weapons of my main characters, and they become beasts in a fight xD
I don't know of a way to connect to phones, It would help a lot in putting up matches between ourselves ;)
