Ai throwing specials in my combo

Twice now I've had the ai throw specials while I'm in my combo
Once in arena and once in aq

The game stutters a moment and they trigger specials
The arena was an sp3 and aq was sp1
Losing half health to a glitch is annoying

Is this working as intended?

I’ve had this too. Sometimes I’m struggling to finish a combo. MLLLM ends up MLLL.
Like some weird combat lag slowdown, if the AI is aggressive they seem able to throw a special in the lag between your hits.

Do you have a video? Otherwise, just make sure you're not stopping your combo early or accidentally charging a heavy or something

I’m probably just about far enough into the game to know my combos

I'm having my champs throw heavy in the middle of a combo as well. It's ruined me twice in SQ today with my g99.

It’s probably a bug from last maintenance.. hence another scheduled maintenance on the way.

No because I dont record every fight and they dont have a record what just happened feature
I've played the game for over 6 years so I know Its not user error

Same, I was practicing tigra last night and during my cycle I was getting random heavy and dash back and fourth

This has been an on again off again bug for years. Sometimes while you're hitting into their block, sometimes when you're openly attacking them. It's horrible and I'm yet to see them discuss a fix.

Lag really annoys me bc it seems like you can’t put in inputs but the AI can just fine. I’d really appreciate an “auto-pause” feature if the game notices connection drops/is interrupted mid fight. If rather get kicked out and taken to that “you were mid fight want to restart?” Screen then dying to lag.

That will introduce more bugs and the vicious cycle continues

There should be a way to reduce lag
Even if it's down res the high quality backgrounds

Yes I saw it many times it is annoying but I learn to accept it as part of the game. Now when game got more lags and connection interruptions a micro sec connection lost will let the AI to throw a special, dash back or start a 5 hit combo during your combo. Is sme issue like those when your special is blocked on the end of the combo.
I affray the new AI, more aggressive play style exploit the network connections weakness a lot.
