I completely agree. I NEVER block in Mk1-Mk4. Its quite useless and unnecessary. If you block, you are just free for a powerful throw. Like I said, in MKDA, though blocking finally showed its purpose in Mk, I rarely rarely use it. I easily win with or without it. I dont need it to be honest. In MKD...I block like I never have in ANY fighting game. This game is all about blocking. :-/
