This is why we complain about the AI, when i was fighting photon i thought ''maybe i was too slow and she was able to recover and then block'' but looking at the video in slow motion, that's not what happened...she was still in the dash back animation and then in a millisec she was able to block without the stand up animation, yes i did solo the fight but only because i was lucky that i only took 2 hits before that sp1, otherwise i would've died in a very close war at the time, here's the full fight video in normal speed:

What the AI did is simply not possible, i actually tried to recreate that like dashing back and pressing block as fast as i could and everytime my character did the stand up animation before he could block, i even tried to do that against the wall cause i was like ''if my dash is shorter in distance then i might be able to do it'' but nop, seems like a skipping frame situation, here's the frame 1:
And the frame 2:
I can see that happening in the new EOP and it's horrible because you will die not because you failed but because the AI skipped a frame to counter you in a way that it shouldn't
I tried to be very thorough in this post so kabam and you guys can see all the details and hopefully fix this
