    Hits going through block?

    Is it just me or sometimes my character just failes to block incoming attacks?
    It started yesterday and it became even worse today.

    Same for me. Happened severall times.... even watched some records frame per frame... I clearly blocked the matching direction, but the hit went through.

    Might be some lagger (lagswitcher) that changes during a lagg the direction but the animation still shows the old one.

    Yes - it's really strange. You can see that in trainig mode, 1on1, 2on2 and 4on4 - happens sometimes. You correctly use your block, and get attacked by blockable moves, but the block is not working.
    First I thought it could bve delay in online game modes, but in training mode it happens, too. I'm not sure if the training mode is started local or online.

    Another possibility could be, that this depends on your current gear stat "defense". The better, the more you can block. Means, there is always a possibility to get hit and you can minimize this?

    I also had some situations with unblockable moves, where I was on attack. The enemy got hit, then my unblockable was broken - this happened in duell mode. Strange....

    There are unblockable attacks that need to be dodged or parried but I assume that's not what you guys are referring to.

    Yes we are talking about normal attacks not unblockables.

    Defense is just a damage reduction after successful attack, so not affecting block in any way.

    This is old news. There are several videos on YouTube showcasing the issue. It's been like that since launch.

    I've had this happen as well. I even recorded it a few times and I'm still not sure if it's a glitch or what's the problem
