Breakthrough - Dragons Fire DF Dragon Kick could sometimes be plus on block?

STRYKIE

Are ya' ready for MK11 kids?!
Meant to make this thread a while ago but I didn't want to get buried under the Combo Breaker hype. :p

I don't really know what exactly causes this but if the Dragon's Fire Liu's dragon kick is blocked and then the 2nd hit whiffs it appears to put him at +3 or so? As demonstrated in the video below


As you can see, if both hits are blocked, Liu is clearly negative and Kano is able to jump 8 frames before me.

But when the 2nd hit whiffs, I'm clearly able to jump before he does.

(for best results, I suggest using Youtube's speed editor in the settings and slowing down to 0.25 to get the clearest view of the frames)

It's difficult to get it to happen deliberately but I have had it happen at much closer distances than what I'm demonstrating.

Looks too situational to make any use of it, might even be character specific, but if you guys have any ideas, I'm all ears.
