Timed block

and for the record yes, I think a perfectly timed block in succession would be a perfect opportunity to re implement the animation.

Blocking already slow combos down. It's enough to give you time to slip the next strike.

Timing blocks only makes a difference for catching body kicks.

Also, if you time a low block against a leg kick, it will work to reduce teh damage, but you won't check it. So, against leg kicks, blocking early is actually better.
