Is it just me or you can't switch between high/low block?

[TehFlame]

I still have a habit of holding high block and switch to low when necessary. But it doesn't work most of the time.

It's not because I'm doing it too slow because there are times when I go from R2 to L2 + R2 waaay before the kick goes through, but it still lands clean. The vice versa is true as well. I expected a leg kick and went from high block to low, but I block the headkick anyway.

Is there some penalty if I hold high block and try to switch low?

It doesn't really respond as fast if they are throwing a combo. Other than that, blocking should be responsive against regular strikes.

Ahhh I see. What's everyone's thought on that? I don't like it because it feels like I'm not really in control/there's massive input lag. I wouldn't mind damage bleeding through if they mix it up in a combo, but it's just frustrating when it feels like my inputs don't go through

Same bro, sometimes I feel like im quick enough with the bloc even tho it can be hard to time but the strike will still get through

This is an odd one, I noticed a little delay on base ps4, I'd get hit with kicks I knew id I had blocked, then on ps4 pro the issue seemed to be far less frequent with the uncapped framerate, so maybe its a input issue.

It's certainly an issue in online fights however, any latency at all and there is notable.

I definitely notice some input lag. Especially against strikers who like to throw that jab - body kick combo that seems to be popular right now. Even when I know whats coming, I can't seem to block low fast enough. Ends up draining stamina quick enough to make the fight not so fun.

Yeah, I think most of us want that changed. I know I do, as long as the ratings are taken into account too. I supposed if you have a fighter with poor defense it shouldn't be as effective. But it just seems like everyone can do combos at the same speed right now too. There's a few issues involving combos right now, some things I guess we still haven't caught on to and some things that just seem to need tuning.

Yeah, blocking is definitely slow as ****. It doesn't help that the triggers are so long on these controllers, too. They need to lower the deadzone and tighten up the speed of the block, honestly.

I find that blocking low goes faster if you are already blocking high with the right trigger and then hold the left -- instead of going from not blocking at all to blocking low.

But it does feel slower in general.

That same mechanic has been there since EA UFC 1

It sucks !! The new system, it’s the new configuration, I spoke about this in a previous thread , I guess they can speed up the block without the catch but the button configuration is here to stay...,2 button blocking ..argh!

Imo the 2 botton blocking feels better overall cuz you can hold one trigger and quickly press the next. Majority of times you are already holding high block anyway. But the speed of the block switching could be toned up a bit.
