What's new

Seriously tired of on-land button lag.

As a Sub-Zero player, one of my strategies involves jumping in and doing Crouch 4. Unfortunately, whether it's because I get hit or whatnot, even after I've been holding Down, if I hit 4, he does a roundhouse. This not only destroys my poking game, it leaves me wide open for an attack. Is there any way they can hotfix it so the character responds to the controllers movements?

This is also the same problem that affects crossups; when you try to jump kick away, you're left with a standing 4, leaving you susceptible to a possible match-ending combo.

Edit: This happened once more today while I was playing as Jax. I trapped a player in the corner and repeated his F4, 1, Gotcha Grab combo. When he started blocking more, I began attempting a Crouching 4 poke. Unfortunately, even without jumping, standing 4 came out, leading to my defeat. This despite my holding the D-Pad down long before I hit my kick button.

I know Tom Brady mentioned that there is a problem with hitting a direction and button on the exact same frame. If you do this the direction is canceled and it only registers the button press. This sounds like you are already are holding the direction? That I haven't experienced.
