Fix the “fix” to the NC trick

JimmyJohnJones

Can you guys fix whatever **** patch you did to “fix” the NC switch trick? Now, if you light punch the air (intentionally or not) while an opponent is blocking they turn completely passive and just walk at you. If this is in war and you attempt to throw an attack you instantly get parried. So your only alternative is you dash back and get cornered or block until the ai switches and starts smashing into your block.

I don’t know why but I can still do this trick.

Used to be automatic until the last update. Now all I get is this super passive walk by the ai. Super irritating.

It's been working fine for me. If anything it's actually a bit easier.

what difficulty are you doing it in? i can only get the trick to work in "Uncollected difficulty" anyway. otherwise the AI is too passive.

Here's what's happening every time for me since the update.

Anywhere, I've seen it in AW, duels, EQ. I even saw it on one of Seatin's streams recently, though I think it was with a different opponent than NC.

@JimmyJohnJones it isn't ONLY the NC trick friend. I'm not one of the crazies that scream conspiracy theory whenever I get the chance, but Kabam has introduced variable changes to the defending AI that also includes more frequent dashbacks on special intercepts, stutter steps that fake you out before they launch a dash attack, as well as this passive attack method that instantly lands you into a stun parry (fun fact, next time this happens to you, do yourself a favor and HOLD block while the AI walks at you, and see if they attack you first or if you time out before they do). Nobody seems to wanna talk about it, but these attacks make defenders like Korg, NC, and Thing SO MUCH MORE difficult. I haven't gathered enough video yet, because I haven't been playing much, but I honestly feel that it doesn't matter because Kabam will likely not mention they altered defenders, and what are we gunna do?

The game is a mess at the moment for attackers anyway, throwing random attacks after a sp3, AI doing an attack but stopping just short of your block to fake you out into dropping your guard, AI just walking at you to try to force a parry, AI constantly blocking to waste time in aq or aw. The absolute passiveness from AI since two or three updates ago. Them subtle changes paired with the masses of bugs and performance issues are crazy.
