I'm curious person by nature and I wanted to ask some of you what are your thoughts on why this is happening? If you press 1, 2, 4 and 11 normally, Liu Kang stands right on the same place/distance he is performing a normal, but if you press it like I do on the video, he keeps moving himself a little bit every time I do one of these normals mentioned above.


Could this thing even be used as something serious? Like some sort of walking while having your normals cover your front of some sort?

another quirky signature of NRS games.

The animation you see is not actually the end of the move recovery. Try pressing the button and seeing how quickly you can jump or block after. This ends the "reset" animation as soon as the move recovery is over.

I don't think there will be much of a use for this but rather just another mechanic of NRS games.

I'd rather just walk forward. Plus you could very easily be whiff punished if you do this close to your opponent.

This is indeed pretty wierd. Have you tried it upclose to see if 1 hits more consistently? I mean 1 can be a pain in the ass on crouchblocking opponents.
