Inconsistent Punish Distance on certain blocked specials

Check the video I filmed with my toaster for details:

This affects Liu Kang's regular and EX Bicycle kick, as well as Raiden's superman (I don't know about EX). Is there reason behind this? Is it truly random?

EDIT: note that I made every effort to NOT MOVE while doing these. The problem is that the inconsistency is present, not that it hugely affects punishing.

I knew about this but I thought is had to do with how far the moves traveled before they were blocked, but that doesn't seem to be the case. For superman and bicycle kick, it's not a big deal because you still have plenty of time to dash up.

This occasional bounce back also happens with reptile dash, which sucks a lot.

This bounce back ALWAYS happens to me on reptile's dash. I have such a hard time punishing it. /cry

the bounce back with reptile's dash is the worst thing ever since it makes the 1 in noob's 212 whiff

I think its funny that everyone breathed a sigh of relief after reptile's dash was "nerfed" in the last patch. Actually... That shit got buffed lol. The recovery frames are exactly the same (-15) and it now has push back and random bounce back.

Not enough people dissect the mechanics of this game.

KT Smith I just played with dash for a while. It only has pushback at point blank or maybe a step or two outside of it. After that there is no pushback on either fighter. I've seen issues with it many times, but I can't reproduce them in the lab. At least, I couldn't in my 10 minutes of trying.

Yeah I said this a bunch right after the nerf and all of the reptile players i mentioned it to called me an idiot and that dash sucks now. Every time I mentioned it people just say "lrn2punish" and I assumed it was just me sucking. Thanks for the reaffirmation.

what did they ''nerf''? I dont seem to remember a difference.
I thought it was because I didnt play this game for a while that I had trouble with punishing the dashes, but I havent been punishing it as consistent as before

This happens with sindels 44, fireball in the corner. Kind of annoying.

I always assumed it was down to the distance travelled, this is a fairly big deal online as it can be very tight whether you get the punish when there is pushback.

Off topic, I can't for the life of me cancel f2,4 into bicycle kicks, is there a trick to this I'm missing?
