Ok with the discovery of Cage and Liu Kang having random advantage bugs we need to test the entire roster. If you don't know how to test here's what you do. Go into practice mode and set the dummy to always duck block. Do a move and then as soon as it hits and is blocked pause and turn block off. If they quickly stand up then duck back down you have the random block advantage bug. Try it like 10 times just to be sure. We should go through every move and every hit of a string with every character. If you will volunteer to do this for your main please post the results, if you've discovered a move with the bug or if you've checked every move and they have none.

Left to test:
Kung Lao
Reptile
Nightwolf
Noob Saibot
Sonya
Baraka
Sheeva
Kratos
Freddy

No bugs:
Rain
Ermac
Shang Tsung
Jade?
Cyber Sub-Zero

Liu Kang does indeed have random advantage? I asked Somberness about his b312 (which is what string I think you're referring to?)

edit: nvm, found the thread - b2,3 , b4 and f4. Liu and Jax really get to take advantage of this crouch blocking advantage shit, since you're always crouch blocking them. I'll try to commit some time to Quan tonight, if I find anything I'll let you guys know. Sektor should also be looked at. Possibly Kano and Shang as well.

It's really the characters that you're actively crouch blocking against which makes this a major issue, not saying that Cage isn't a issue but nowhere near Jax and Liu.

I can confirm Kitana's only bugged move is Fake Out Kick.

I know off-hand that Cyber Sub's B1 is bugged. It's only around +1 or +2 normally, but when I was testing it, I was randomly getting huge advantage. If I had to estimate, I'd say it was around +10.

interesting, the standing up bug doesn't seem to ever happen.

I thought I did it wrong until I tried Kitana and found that 16bit's information was true.

EDIT: I tried testing Altaire's information on b1, it isn't doing the standing up bug like 16bit says.

Maybe its not as common?

Kano's 212 string is bugged. I also could've sworn I saw Baraka(My dummy) stand up briefly after a blocked choke, but I can't seem to replicate it...

If my eyes weren't deceiving me about Kano's choke also being bugged, then there's definitely some sort of frequency factor since 212's bug shows up at least once every three times I did it and I tried to replicate the choke bug at least fifty times. =\

Can someone explain this to me? So Liu gets extra frames of advantage when certain strings are blocked while ducking? Is that right?

Yeah, it's only related to crouch blocking.

Oh ho ho very funny Baraka. I go to start testing choke again and he FINALLY stands up again while blocking on the very first try. Okay, I wasn't being half-blind, but still.....dammit Baraka I hate you.

It feels to me that this is somehow related to the input bug. What the hell is up with crouching in this game... smh
Yeah, I think you're right. This was originally coined 'the input bug' and now we're referring to it as 'random frame advantage'. Something's fucked with the crouching in this game, all I know.

So is there a video or a thread for Liu Kang's? I need this tech for Final Round so I don't go 0-2.
