Sounds like this blocking issue affected a lot of people. Can someone lab this more on all the characters?

That's really weird actually, in an anime game where you jump and run around like a complete lunatic that is a strange choice.. Wouldnt that also mean SDs can be blocked and punished on landing? I am so confused.
This SD can be punished on reaction the moment it touches the character. I happened to do this on reaction, when my opponent stopped mid-air, and I did hit 2H.

I just had it happen at least twice against @freerf245 in ranked. Unfortunately I got DC’d from the lobby so no replay mode with inputs. I did record it though. But without the inputs it’s kinda pointless to upload.

I’m actually glad in one way that I’m not crazy and there definitely is something going on here. Further testing is needed though obviously.

Be 100% on that you aren't confusing landing for start up, cause there is meant to be start up window where you can't block on jumping. Test it by manually recording to jump every 2 seconds into immediate downback hold, and making sure you can punish landing frames. Cause that would be kinda shit. The way it's worded makes it sound like it's only added recovery on certain moves, so be 100%


Just tried your way, not having any luck interupting while landing. That makds me feel lil better, still salty bout jump start up tho

Does up teching count as jumping? Meaning if you up tech can you not block in the 1st frame or 2? I’ve definitely hit people up teching but I just thought they weren’t blocking.

It's how anime games work, theres a slight start up on jump. I don't think it's a bad thing, it makes chicken blocking not free.

Haven’t been able to go yet (need a brooks converter) but this is my local. Grand Finals was very good. Fame96 using SSB Goku and Vegeta is awesome to see. And Jazzrap’s Yamcha is ridiculous. Def players to look out for at majors.

Idk but I hope we get a [better] patch improving online long before they even think about shoveling out DLC.
Definitely. The servers, lobbies, and netcode need some improvements. I really would like them to take notes from NRS and add a Wi-Fi indicator. Also, they need to not broaden your search function when you don’t find a match for awhile. Like I will search for green bars or better, “stronger opponents” and high completion rate. Then I’ll get matched up with a green square, with less BP, purple name, and a yellow bar. I reject, then get matched up with him 10 times in a row. Kinda annoying honestly.

I been working on styling HARD with Beerus orbs but it's also practical shit

That's one example off the set up but there's like a million ways I can go off it. Even that 6M leads to full combo too if not blocked.

Let me know what you guys think. My experience with Venom is definitely helping a lot here. This character is my favourite thing about this game.

What do purple colored names mean?

And I agree 100%. This game is truly a blast. Like, I've tried playing I2 multiple times but I get into the lab with the turtles and 20 minutes in and all I can think about is practicing my 16 dunking and 60 second block strings with Gohan :3

But point is, the game's currently hindered by it's online experience. Online competitive scene seems to have been halted completely and Cell Games keep getting pushed back from what I've noticed, likely hoping for a fix. Which really sucks.

I can only hope since it's taken this long already, that they've got some sort of decent overhaul in the works.

That’s awesome actually. I want to see more Beerus in competitive play. He seems to have some crazy setups.

Purple names indicate that they quit out a lot, so rage quitters. But just because they don’t have a purple name doesn’t mean they don’t quit. Idk how many times you have to ragequit to get a purple name.

And yeah, this is the only fighting game I can play right now. Everything else is boring. I was never a big fan of INJ2 anyway. Was gonna play again after the turtles came out... but meeeehhh.

Saw the official announcement on the first two characters and Broli seems my guy to try ;)

What Uncle JBeezY finds weird is that they announce the first 2 DLC but have NOT addressed the horrible lobby connections. Even yesterday, one match disconnected when my opponent and I were down to the last fighter (LAME AS FUCK) and i got booted out rooms at random at least 3 times!

Huh, neat. Had no clue. Fought my first few purple namers over the weekend and ironically they were all either orange or yellow so I thought maybe it was some sort of reward you get at some point lol.

It's all so very confusing.
Yeah, first couple games last night vs my main training partner, and, I shit you not, match starts and I hit down back, like I see my character crouch and then get opened up immediately by a low. I was playing pad because my movement on stick isn't where I wanted it so no damn way I messed up.the input. I'm even paying more attention right now to making SURE I'm not hitting down and missing back, or vice versa and I've checked for dead spots or weird behavior on my pad in training mode.

Shrug. First game it happened twice that I REALLY sure I was blocking and in a position to block (no recovery and such) but then didn't happen for an hour or so that I know of after. It essentially NEVER happens to my buddy, but he's the one hosting the ring and on the slower PC and connection. I know in sfv the faster PC and connection often for the business end of the one sided lagg , something about lowing me down to match my opponent.

So, I played Hit last night for a few hours vs my buddy.. I am glad I didn't completely give up.on him. He's slowly starting to click for me now. Im a little too mashy, and I miss important confirms because of it, but gradually, round by round I'm getting better.

Also, the extension with 21 is fucking lovely. 50%~ meterless off my primary starters is just smexy. I gotta step.up my 21 game though. That is today's goal, get some 21 notes and start putting a plan together.
