Yellowjacket:
Iron Man:
Spider-Man (Symbiote):
Device: Moto G5 Plus
Android 7.0 (Security Patch Level: 1st March 2017)
Latest game version (14.1.1)
Problem noticed in Arena after reaching infinite streak (happens in quests too sometimes)
How to replicate: Fight any champ having the infinite steak AI with the above champs and perform a special attack after a MLLLM combo
Note: These champs are sometimes able to connect their special attacks after a MLLLM combo but if you keep testing, you are bound to see some of the specials blocked (especially with YJ L1)

Also notice how in case of YJ L1, the beams reach Groot before he starts blocking but it still counts as a parry
Edit: added screenshot
Except that the arena AI isn't difficult at all (and I don't face this issue against bosses at all. This sometimes crops up in quests as well but that's in random fights and not against bosses specifically)
No. You're supposed to be able to combine combos into specials. This used to be the way the game worked, but the recent updates in the last few months have ruined timing and frame rates, making it unreliable, and even costly, to use specials effectively.
Excellent job @GbSarkar . I wish I knew how to make Gifs to show the same problems. Yellowjacket's Special 1 never ever connects for me anymore unless the enemy is charging a Heavy, or is Stunned or just open to attack.
This really became prominent to me after the recent Android System Update a few days ago. It seems to be hurting the performance of the game, as the Game Update was working for me until the System Update.
I'm on a Galaxy S5.
Also, when I do hit with Captain Marvel's Special 2 it does little to no damage, which is becoming another problem. Specials are either being blocked, doing no damage, or being ignored entirely, allowing the AI to continue attacking, and even interrupting player Special Attacks at points.
All of this (i.e. specials getting blocked, swipes not registering, etc) occurs only on my new device
There are several apps available on Google Play which you can use to convert videos to gifs. You can try those.
There are also websites which convert videos to gifs
I am using DU Screen Recorder (available on Google Play) to record gameplay and that has these options in-built
First let me say this: I'm not saying that they should be able to block combos but the AI difficulty after match 15 picks up
I don't notice that much of a difference ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Actually, the 10-15 fights are kinda harder for me since the AI is very passive and tends to store power till L3
Fights 10-15 for sure are tough to bait them to use their power before s3. I've started to only use power drainers there. But after match 15 the AI just seems more aggressive than they are prior to it.
Yup. AI attacks back faster than you can put up your block. Doesn't matter if you end combo with 5 or 4 hits
This is starting look like a mantra
It is the mantra. But the mods have no control over the fixes. As long as they keep us up to date on where it stands I'm happy and they are providing support. Even if the news is "still working, don't have a fix yet" at least we know that it hasn't been forgotten about.
So thanks for the update wolf.
@GbSarkar, I have the same phone. Is this just happening in the arena? Because this might not make me want to do it.
Its basically a generic response. When the beta fiasco happened they said the same thing but nothing happened. Hopefully things get sorted out soon.
@Kabam Wolf
Happens in AQ map5. Not just the issue above either. I've also had numerous enemies, including symbioids, be able to block immediately after their full 4-5 hit combo. No room to which we can retaliate.
Classify this as harder Ai, but it's been known for so long now that it's impossible for us to do the same.
Once you get past the easy fights from 15 to 20 in arena the fights are all duels and you can rarely use specials in any of those fights.
But I have noticed it happening in boss fights in quests and also some fights in 1-15 arena. Yes it is usually after a 5 hit combo, but not always.
The one that ALWAYS gets you is the insta heavy, and the heavy or SP as soon as you dash across. Very clever, but also a bit devious and callous
You heard it right here everyone - just going to have to get used to the game cheating. Thanks for the help Billy Bob, we can all rest easy now.
