Wish I could block a special like this...

_RĘÇKLĘŞŞ_

I thought we could do everything the AI can... I hit special immediately after a basic attack in the middle of a combo, after 4th hit. Some how Ironman was able to block it. There wasn't a pause, it was fluid but he still managed to get block and then because I end up hitting special into his block l'm left defensless and get smashed. I know when I try to hit a special in the middle of enemies combo it doesn't do jack all. There's even times when trying to hit special it instead just blocks (and yes I know I'm hitting special button cause I've watched my finger hit it multiple times and champ is just throwing up quick blocks...) Super annoying!

happens to me a lot too. I'm pretty sure it's just me being bad tho

There was a momentary pause between your combo and special. Enough time to block. Plus note the distance between the opponent and yourself.

What distance, I'm in his face hitting him, and the only pause I see is after I hit special as it's engaging but GP never stops. It goes from sword on IM immediately to starting the special. But as special animation is starting he gets the block up

Notice the screen dim signaling special before he gets the block up

And meant to say "hit block in middle of enemies combo..." in OP

Super slow-mo where you can see screen dim for special while he's still hunched over from last hit

Yeah. The AI sometimes just doesn't recognize a hit.
For instance when you dash in, sometimes you will get in 2 hits, but the opponent won't flinch and they'll go right into a special animation.

They keep saying AI is behaving normal but it has seemed off for weeks now. fights I was having no problem with at start of month had become major headaches part way through

When you finish a combo, you hit the opponent back and that is what allows you to throw a special after a full combo, but when you do a half combo, you don't hit them back at all, and that means that they can block.

working as intended

So if you end with a light attack into a special they block regularly, but ending with a medium they've never blocked my special.

Chirotonsor

It's less about a full combo, and more about ending with a medium into a special attack, medium light medium special works just as good as m l l l m special.

_RĘÇKLĘŞŞ_

Usually do end with a M and get that, although I've had them pull blocks on those too... but if you look at the slow-mo I put up after you can see his body is still hunched over as special is starting.
