"Perfect" block, no I dont mean THQs impenetrable block, but a timing based block system that has short term deterioration with each hit. In real life, 3 strikes to the head are hardly ever at all blocked in succession. Head movement and evasion are used and blocking is normally the weakest line of defense against combinations. Fighters test eachother at a distance, breaking through the block, what if the blocking system worked so that camping on high block, or taking multiple hits, resulted in a heavily weakend block. If blocks are not properly timed = weakend block/hard breakthrough. Combination strikes against an only block defense = hard bleed through. This negates the use of recycling combinations to break block and requires intelligence use of perfect blocks, head movement, and footwork, to negate heavy offense. Feints also play VERY heavily into this, as a badly timed perfect block will result in a sub par defense against said strike, leading to more intelligent striking
