Changes to Enhanced Special 1 node

So, apparently there's a change for that node. What's the reason?

Comments

It used to be all hits with a second or so were unblockable, so you could be standing right next to war machine, Block his special and get hit but if you were far away from him and blocked by th time the attack reached u the unblockable would’ve expired.

It's always being like this
Good thing they've now included it into the description
A good example is spiderman. The web shots aren't unblockable but the punches are
Same for Ultron sp2. The energy shots aren't unblockable but the punches are
I wonder if this new description affects war machine's sp1

Is it just to basically clarify that if you evade the first hit or beam, then you can actually block the rest of the SP ?
Although if it is only a descriptive clarification, interesting I guess I never realized you could block Hawkeye's SP1 arrow on an Enhanced node (or similar, but then again those are the easiest to just evade and aren’t multiple arrows/rocks/etc)

Its not a change, the text has just been updated to represent the unblockable special node behaviors that already exist in the game.

@Jh_Dez is correct. This is not a change to the node, but an update to the description so it's more accurate to what the Node's ability actually is. It's a little more wordy than we would like, but it's accurate now!

I agree that it would be pretty difficult to put the bullets that war machine uses in sp1 and in winter soldiers' sp2 into the description haha.

Wait, regarding @Jh_Dez comment, are you saying Spiderman's initial web blast CAN (?) just be blocked, which then let’s you continue to have control and then just move away from his punches ??

Of course
That's actually how I evade his sp1
block the webs and evade the punches
Some are able to fully evade everything tho

So what about Ultron as you mentioned too. Aren’t those actually “Beams” ?

And thanks, although I thought I’ve always been hit by Spideman web shots on that Enhanced SP1 guard node.

More like orbs rather than beams. He shoots beams in his L3.

Well to be accurate, there is specific window after his web shots and before his physical punches where you can dexterity out of the way. You just gotta get that timing right. Same goes for Ultron sp2, but I feel the window for Ultron is abit smaller.

Why not just make the whole attack unblockable thats what unblockable special means right? not sections of a special? Being picky on what parts of an attack seems really weird

Basically it is like IMIW: if you can evade the first hit, you can block the rest. But it is good to know it is not only him.

Yeah, noticed those to. I think 'Enhanced Precision' lacks info as well. The wording of precision nodes was always off.

What about killmonger's 2nd special attack, are those two daggers unblockable?

Oh another thing, the "Unblockable" Node that makes All Special Attacks Unblockable makes *Every* Hit of the Special Unblockable.

No, but the Kick at the end is.

It’s not a beam
It’s a projectile with time flight, so you can block them
