when playing the demo i found out (& i know im not the only one) the best way to get arround an opponent using :d :blk in a corner was to use a launcher attack e.g Mileena's :u + :bk

But my question is besides using the standard :l + :bk on a standing opponent (which trips them), has anyone found a way to hit low and continue into a high attack (into a kombo still including the low hit in the string) to cancel an opponents standing :blk ?

Sorry if this sounds noobie & thanks

Some characters have combos that start low, which works well in the situation you're referring to. If you're using a character that does not have a combo that starts low, I'd recommend a throw. From my experience, it's very difficult to escape a throw if you're stand blocking.

You can also pressure by cutting your combos short and starting another combo or going for a low poke. But honestly, the sweep works just fine as well. It's not a lot of damage, but damage is damage and people will start crouch blocking if you continue to sweep them.

Im using Cy Sub-Zero right now, n haven't found a combo that could start with low as of yet, but im hoping he has one as thats like my weak point, i never remember to use grabs when someone is blocking alot so a Low hit into high hit would be perfect. I love it when people sit @ the back of the screen crouch blocking though, they get punished as soon as they try not alot of people i played online realized the launchers break low block and i spent hours in practice mode practicing launch into 30%+ juggle =)

I may start experimenting with other characters low attacks.

Actually through some tests it seems that if you are blocking you cannot break a throw. Anyone can confirm this?
