I've noticed recently after playing the raider a lot, that a confirmed right heavy attack into a zone comes out delayed 100% of the time Done from the left or top it's normal speed, is this a bug or intended for staggered timing? From the other mechanics in this game I can only presume it's a bug. I'm just curious if anyone else has noticed this and might have an idea as to why it functions like this.
I don't believe it is a bug but a purposeful staggered timing. The animations are different and I count them as two different moves. This is desirable because most people will parry his unblock able when just thrown and are used to its timing. When done in a combo the timing is different and if they rush their parry you get the hit.
