I've seen this done and was wondering if this is true.

I was watching a fight between 2 people in a UMK3 fight. They were moving really quickly and they're good players. The one guy though was blocking and the other guy was running in and trying to LP. It never grabbed him though, My question is: Is there a way to BLK and not get grabbed or is it just a fuck up in the game? :?

I answered this for you last time you asked it in another thread lol.

Hold back while blocking.

Oh Sorry, I didn't remember. Ok Thank You and sorry about the stupid thread but I needed to know. I won't forget, Thanks Dubson!!!

No problem bro.

also you can hold Down and Back as well as Up and Back and you will not get thrown if needed.

MK1-MK4 uses this same feature.

Throw Defense:

Hold "Back" and you will not be thrown. Up+Back, Down+Back, Down+Back+Block also works. Many people complain about throws, but throw prevention is pretty easy in MK, and it's been this way from MK1 through MK4.
