Anyone else getting a weird medium intercept bug?

So had this occur quite a few times, and it’s similar in feeling to the parry bug, where you expect it to work..and then it’s just like…wait..wtf..I timed that perfectly..how the f did that happen?

So just to be clear. No miss mechanic going on. No autoblock, no unstoppable going on.

Now I want to be sure I understand medium intercepts correctly…

Opponent dashes in from far end of screen doing a medium hit dash.
As they dash in, I time my medium hit dash to hit them as they are dashing in.
As long as I am moving and dashing in with my medium, and my medium started after their medium, then my medium will hit first, and that is called a medium intercept.

Well…that stuff is broken.

So I’ve had it now where I’ve timed it perfectly, and the opponent just smashes you with their medium hit. Initially I thought maybe it’s just an adjustment with timing with the 60fps. And maybe I was just mistiming it.

However, I’ve had a few now where they dash, my character physically dashes in after they start their dash, and in the middle, when I expect my medium intercept to work, it doesn’t, I just get smashed with a 5 combo, starting with…their medium dash.

Can this be fixed? it’s kind of annoying. Especially when it’s stuff like shocker, and I’m trying to remove his charges, or just any fight where I can’t parry due to the defender or the nodes…

    I’ll try and record one. I had my most obvious one today that just sealed it for me. They started, I started, both dashing into the middle. I get wrecked in the middle of the screen. Hence the post. There was no way it wasn’t in my favour. Was a perfect intercept with visible time difference between the start of their med and the start of mine, and visible movement in both people, meeting in the centre of the screen from the edges.

    Previously I’ve just had it fail near my screen edge and I thought maybe I mistimed it a bit.

    Today, I’ve had it happen with sandman vs shocker and then immediately after on a fight with Ultron vs bishop.

    Both times the connection was in the centre of the screen, and I got wrecked both times

    Yes. Quite consistently.

    I assume it is a 60fps issue. I have experienced this a few times as well. Since "resolution in time" has doubled the image seems so much sharper and unambiguous that there seems to be no more room for interpretation: I was CERTAIN to have intercepted perfectly – yet I got punched in the face as a reward. Hope this gets fixed soon!

    Was playing battlegrounds today and I had this happen twice successively when fighting Domino. And I know I'd have intercepted because Angela has a long reach but it felt like her sword just went through Domino and I got combo'd

    @Pikolu

    Been happening lots recently ! Glad I’m not the only one experiencing it! Does it matter if I change to 30fps??

    Yeah, I've definitely had intercepts since updating where I know it felt 'just right'; but I've ended up smashed in the face.

    I thought I was just tired and it was me.
    So, yeah, happening to me too. (I'm on 30fps)

    Like this.. I know she does have a miss mechanic but it’s happening constantly to me against all defenders.

    I had this a few times tonight. It's really odd. It seems to happen more for me when the opponent is a couple of steps away from the wall. Weird.

    I would call it input reading, when you dash AI knows when to throw medium attack, so instead of dashing they wait and do medium intercept in place to avoid dashing in.

    Adapt.
    They aint doing jack about this one.
    They are aware of this, the devs play the game too, so they know.
    This should be on their number 1 priority but it's not.

    Don't go for medium intercepts. Try to go for lights and pray.

    Been playing this game almost 10 years. I know the difference between a perfectly timed medium intercept and a mistimed intercept.
    Since the 60fps update, perfectly timed medium intercepts regularly don’t connect and result in getting clipped by the defender. This didn’t used to happen.

    Sorry that’s a terrible take. This is a bug that’s beyond unsatisfactory. Them not even putting it on the trello board has a lot to do with current dissatisfaction.

    Your advice isn’t all that helpful either as the AI is almost immune to back drafts now or is fast enough to punish a light whiff with a medium anyways.
    It was a backhanded comment.
    Kabam is busy counting thier greens.

    My advice is quiet helpful tho.
    When nothing works, 'PRAY'

    There are lots of bugs in the game right now. After special attack my counterattack misses or somehow cant make contact with opponent eg penni vs domino cant place hit after her special1
