I just found that out today. I don't know if it is already known, but i couldn't find it here int he forum at least. The Dummy is set to always block.

Two short video clips to show that. The timing can be annoying but it works. I haven't tested it vs other characters armor moves yet. Maybe you guys will find good use for it.

This is definitely a useful tactic. Ive already been using it to make myself safe on blockstrings and return to neutral but this is also useful. Another bait I like to do is end a string that is negative but safe, then EX Phase to bait counterpoke attempts/armor making them think it is their turn when it isnt.

This is pretty much just ending a blockstring into smoke away/towards and baiting armor right, or is there something im missing. If you do the wrong one and input something youll get hit.

This works better with f21xxphase back/forward because of the gap in f21(3) and f21(4) which works well with baiting imo. It ends at -7 so if you do f21xxphase forward, laos spin will catch you; however, f21xxphase back will allow you to run in for a punish. As far as I tested, reptile's ex slide is the only reversal in the game that will catch you regardless of which phase you do for this.
