Prefight Didn't Activate and My Heavy Attack Got Parried?

Its happened a bunch of times before but this is the first time I got a recording of it. My Human Torch prefight doesn't activate. I primarily see this in AW, can't remember if it has happened in other game modes. Last war, it happened when I activated the prefight after war boosts. I figured it was just some bug with that and didn't record it or report it. This time, my war boost was activated 2 fights ago so I wouldn't think it would mess with the prefight.

Second, I know the defender has the mastery to resist heavy attacks so I get that part, BUT I didn't think it would allow the defender to parry heavy attacks afterwards. Thankfully, the AI had mercy on me or else I would have died in one combo. The parried heavy attack occurs at 0:38.

FYI, I have my sound turned off in game.

    It's a bug.
    Don't go into fight unless you see an icon of prefight at that spot.
    It's not a bug fix, just a work around.
    Go back one screen and re enter the fight screen. It will show.


    It's exactly what SYG do.
    It resists heavy attacks.
    And in this case the resist was well timed block so it get the parry stun.

    @SirGamesBond Interesting. I never knew that heavy attacks could be parried. I thought they counted as a certain type of unblockable attack.

    They do, unless opponent has SYG and it activates, in which case, they don’t
