Sometimes I duck and spam low kick. Some people just sit there and block. Eventually they die.
To escape it, block one kick and immediately jump forward. But this won't solve all of your blocking problems. Low kicks can be very off-balancing. Try them more.
For the low kicks, yes, they are very useful to escape pressure.
But against them, Jumping forward seems risky : Mileena players, for example, do often this : D+4, D+4 ... and when the opponent wants to jump over it : UB, F +1 ... and combo. Even more, every character can simply counter it by a neutral Jump Punch.
I would say it is more character specific : moves like Jade's DB+2 or Mileena U+4 crush lows and can lead to a juggle.
But since I have to first release the block button and then input my command move ... It is way too slow.
I never block at all. My defense is ducking, dodging, and jumping. Avoiding enemy attacks. I usually just play offense and just maintain my attacks.
Not at all ? Even against teleports like Smoke, or Sektor ? Blocking them is a free punisher ...
I will still try your method, to vary a bit my gameplay. You know, I'm a very defensive player, but the game force players to be on the offensive.
Nope I feel the system is fine because if there were no chips with normals people would just stand there and block. Plus it makes characters with frame traps like Cage, Baraka way more threatening. Plus it pushes the pace of the game.
Even if there is no guard damage, people can't simply stand and block : they will still have to know how to block lows, medium/overhead attacks , and of course, throw escaping.
Guard damage disabled won't affect the pace of the game, it will simply offer more defensive options.
It's realistic so it makes sense. It'd be stupid to take no damage while blocking.
I don't believe it is stupid.
Like I said before, I accept a little guard damage when I block a projectile or other special moves.
But I think receiving minor damages for normal moves is a bit too much.
