Seems to be a R1 Block button renaissance going on...

You didn't give it any time to develop muscle memory. =P

I know from experience with this in particular. >.> But I am fucking tired of eating something when I know I pressed block. So I'm gonna get used to R1 being block.

Yeah I didn’t give it a real chance. I might do it when Terminator or Sindel comes out so I’m learning a new character and controls.

All kinds of FGC on twitter bout pros moving their block button over.

Did this a couple days ago and for some reason it affected me a lot...Sick of getting hit in the neutral by stuff when I know I press block, also tired of buttons not coming out or me getting thrown when I know I release block. I don't play wave dashing characters, so that's just gravy. But hopefully it benefits my defense.

I've used R1 for block since the days of MKDA on Xbox (it was a different button there, but essentially the right shoulder button). It always felt more natural for me that way.

I mean..i've had this set up since I was use to have the right trigger as block for MK in MK2...when they introduced the second right trigger I always switch it to the first one...

Haha imagine needing to have block, i just jump away

 

[Invincible Salads]

block works fine for me on r2, and im not gonna use wave dashing anyways sooooo

I've always had it on r1 for the fact that r2 is springy and too much button travel distance. Could never play with r2 block.

I have no problem flawless blocking with the triggers. I tried to switch a couple months ago and my muscle memory screamed at me.
