Please, someone get a friend to help you with this if you don't believe me as I can't upload this clip at the moment, I'll have to show it later. But you can't realistically fight someone doing this to you. The guy only threw that strike and nothing else.

The defense is grappling, block, or evade.

Dude you're missing my point entirely.
I'm not saying that you should be able to LITERALLY CHECK the kick.
I'm just saying there needs to be some sort of defense other than low block causing that shuffle backwards because you can't attack from that and with the way vulnerability/blocking works in this game, someone only making themselves vulernable with an attack that renders you unable to counter just breaks the whole game down. Please, go try this in the game if you don't believe me. There are other posts on this board I just found about this same issue. One even saying the #3 ranked on PS4 i almost only using this.

I am not disagreeing with you, I am just trying to suggest ways to deal with it in the meantime while asking for patch fixes.

You should ask for the ability to counter off that shuffle backwards if that is the case. But I know you can counter of the back lunge.

The devs added vulnerability to this already in a recent patch. I was skeptical of this before and now I'm very skeptical.

Dude I just fought that guy and he did the same thing lol. Yea u can block it all day long but that will drain your stamina and he barely loses any. Only thing I can do is try to grapple or start unloading straight to the head

It shouldn’t cause that much of a stamina drain

I posted a thread about this and it was ignored. I ran across a player on PS4 who used other cheese tactics before patches. This time he was spamming obliques non stop. I tried blocking them but his leg wasn't affected nor his stamina. Meanwhile my leg health was depleted over the course of 3 rounds from the oblique kick alone.

I tried countering with punches and kicks after blocking his oblique kick but my fighter kept getting a stun animation from the oblique and my opponent was able to back out of harms way.

It's definitely a technique you can spam but apparently there's a way to counter it so if anyone knows please tell me.

In the mean time please post the video!
