Also to parrying while dashing back, that's because you're dashing back from the left side of your screen. When you do that, the game inputs a 1 frame block input before the dex. Swiping from the right side of the screen or simply doing it on PC solves that issue.

Why should it matter? The game should be consistent with its inputs.

The game is consistent. You touch the left side, you block. Would you prefer there to be a delay to blocking because the game is first checking to see if that input is actually a swipe? It is the limitation of playing a mobile game where inputs are overloaded

Game controls aren't doing their job then are they. Inputs aren't overloaded they are simple but still require skill. If the game can't determine a players input properly then that's a legitimate fault. The AI speed and framerate impacts this

I can say without qualification that the game I play on my device is anything but consistent. A dex that works for a few minutes in a fight suddenly stops working, or a parry that has gone smoothly suddenly becomes a block or a combo to the face, or a striker button that should work just…doesn’t.

Is the team working on it? At some level, I’m sure they have *fixing these kinds of things* on a list of things to do. The post cited above is from April; there have been real complaints raised for well over a year about AI, mechanics, lag/stutter—you name it. Not all of those complainers are cranks or nutjobs

Game mechanics are frequently all over the place, lag is a real issue for most players and getting wonky vs. compliant AI can be the difference between a great run and utter frustration.

I have a handful of things I’d like to finish in game, but I don’t expect the state of the game to improve while I finish them.

There is a decade plus of code written and rewritten and overwritten. I am simply resigned to the conviction that (1) a fix isn’t coming and (2) malfunction is the regular state of things.
