The ai had eveloved again - short dex back counter for attacker dash ins AND now specials !
Ok this is ridiculous.
So I’ve now had it occur more and more frequently. Just the last fight I had versus a dust had it occur 4 times.
Essentially you either do one of the two and the ai manages to dex away and punish or dex away and parry.
Now this was already occurring with basic attacks. We’ve all seen the stupid recovery times and weird cancelling.
But now it’s occurring for special attacks.
So as an attacker I am now getting caught when firing my specials, as special intercepts.
So I wait for opponent ai to dash in. As I special intercept they somehow are now able to “recover” or cancel their medium dash and dex back away from the initial hit, and then parry the second hit and of course block the rest. 
Which I guess is fine….if we could do it aswell as it’d then be fair…..but we can’t…there is no way I can do a medium dash and then if I see them start to fire a special, dex back away from the special…and parry the rest of the hits or block it..
Just ridiculous.
