The game experienced a brief connectivity issue this morning. The team promptly fixed the issue and things are back to normal, thank you to everyone who passed along reports!
The walking light intercept needs to stop

What’s the ability rate for defender’s light intercepting while casually walking forward? 1000%?
And it’s especially awesome when it is extremely detrimental to hold block. So as an attacker when defender is walking toward you.
1) keep dashing back praying they eventually retreat or throw their special before you are cornered.
2) try some air punches (if you can get any distance) hoping they hold block or do something else
3) try to dash in to the walk and get wrecked as the defender seemingly can’t miss intercepting you.
Super fun interaction

AI said "YOU'RE GETTING HIT NO MATTER WHAT" If you dash back, he won't dash back instead he'll continue coming for you. Okay let me try and stall by hitting him till the rage falls off. He never dashes instead walks up to you, you dash into him and he clips you with a light. This has NEVER not happened. Pretty used to it

The only motto to follow.
Kabam isn't doing *sprinkles* about it.
I personally have just accepted all of these interactions as this is not the only thing AI does.
The biggest gripe I have with AI is they take action around the Timer abilities.
Today I came across a new interaction.
I almost never hold scorpion heavy, but today I did somehow, the defender walked across the whole screen and stopped at a closest distance where scorps heavy can't reach and then dashed, boom. You need computer speed to press special button to counter it.
My Congrats to kabam for ruining another ability. Yay sprinkles and confetti 🎊🎊🎉🎉
Now instead of dashing in like a good AI, now it WALK towards you, don't get happy, if you try to attack it will immediately parry,
If you try to dash into that WALK, it will immediately light intercept you.
The only thing you can do when you see this new AI literally WALK towards you is now hold block.
No point in dashing back either because it will legit WALK you to your corner 😭
