Do you think jabs are instant?

Re: Low block for body kicks seems slow
strange unlogical resume from you. strange that you dont understand what does instant block means in fighting games (the same in EA UFC).
i was talking that BLOCK activation has NOT in-game delay - i.e. the Block is activating as soon as the game accepted the signal of Block button pressing. You disagree?
do you think there is an in-game delay between pressing Block button and activating block except gamepad response, sending signal to console, etc - i.e. all things which we have in other arcade fightinhgs which eats some ms.Last edited by SUGATA; 10-17-2018, 03:20 PM.Comment

Re: Low block for body kicks seems slow
no normal delay, but MAY BE (need testing) possible in some scenarios mentioned above (possible as a hypothesis)
post a video with delay scenario please.
for now, w/o video, the only who can tell us about Block delay is GPD. lets summon him here)Comment

Re: Low block for body kicks seems slow
It could be frames or latency from my tv, but I find when I’m holding high block and I see the windup for a body kick, 7/10 times roughly I’ll eat the kick and then my low block kicks will be up. Frustrates me to no end lolComment

Re: Low block for body kicks seems slow
i tested with fastest strikes combos as Jab (blocked)- body jab(blocked), and no any delays.
so your scenarios is you are holding High block, no block stun from blocked high strike, you see incoming body kick, adding L2 to your R2 block and you get a delay, right?Comment

Re: Low block for body kicks seems slow
There's definitely an intended delay
Gpd talked about it at some point, I can't find the post though.Comment

Re: Low block for body kicks seems slow
I learned ALL GPD’s posts and i don’t remember that he said this.
If you will find his quote - it helps or ask him now to clear thing up.
My thesis - Block and Block switching in the game are INSTANT, I.e. they does NOT have an Startup phase to become active, they becomes active from just next Frame after pressing Block button accepted by the game.
And do not equal Block activation with Block ready animation - your Block animation is still in mid of it, but the Block is already activated.
BUT there is one thing that may cause a delay too MAY BE - after releasing Block button we have a Block lock for 6 frames (Block active) but I don’t think that it can prevent us from another actions during it as Block switching. And 6 frames is anyway too short enough delay against kicks.Last edited by SUGATA; 10-18-2018, 01:20 AM.Comment

Re: Low block for body kicks seems slow
Happens both ways sometimes but more often than not when holding high block. I like to stay just outside boxing range and distance fight. I’ll go from no block to high block every so often when I anticipate a strike, but when I go to block the body kick I eat it even tho I hit low block the moment I see a the leg/hip move to throw the kickComment

Re: Low block for body kicks seems slow
Sugata I'm not even talking about a punch kick combo ...sorry I can't post a video I don't know how .
But I'm referring to a body kick you see clear as day ...while holding high block and you eat it despite blocking .

Re: Low block for body kicks seems slow
Yeah exactly. It’s the block switching speed that’s the problem here. I struggle a lot with switching to high block after already inputting a low block. Like I’ll block low, then see the kick going high, and switch the block as fast as possible - before the kick lands - but often times still eat the high kick.
I personally block low for all kicks by default, as the initial defense, then simply release the left trigger if I notice the kick going high. I just believe in prioritizing blocking low, because people kick low more often, and the low kicks are faster. The head kicks are less common and they’re slower, so in the off chance someone goes high I usually have time to release the body modifier and defend the kick. This serves the purpose of shutting down leg kick/body kick spam, hence encouraging the easier-to-counter high kicks.
But I do still sometimes eat the high kick when I absolutely saw it coming. So I think it’s the block switching that may be the problem.
That is, if there is, indeed a problem. It’s possible we’re just not fast enough, or the problem is user error.Xbox GT: the relaxed guyComment

Re: Low block for body kicks seems slow
Tested various scenarios:
- w/o stamina
- breaking block (flashing)
- different input (holding Block, clicking Block on the strike landing)
i holding high block, getting hits or not, and then AFTER kis body kick started i pressing Body block for low blocking and at just before hit for kick catching.
All works fine, no delay...
We need a video guys, really.Comment

Could someone re-create the Block delay scenario in Practice > and then told me how to re-create it by myself or post a video?Comment

Re: Low block for body kicks seems slow
I'd say there is a delay from my experience. It seems to happen when switching between blocks. Going from no block to block feels fine. If I'm blocking low and see the opponent going for a forward moving head kick, the block doesn't change from low to high fast enough imo. If someone goes for a lead leg kick - straight combo, I can block the straight if I wasn't blocking low to start withComment
