Free Step Dodge

The funny thing is that the PB or PL ends up hitting anyway.

LoL.... even the AI does that.... whats funny is.... I always get caught by it.

dam, even the ai doesn't hit confirm, that's sad, but hey i still get hit with it so clearly it works

LoL... yeah.... and its not scrubby at all... you'l see the pros use and get hit by Raw power blows..... ofcourse that requires alil conditioning.

You know what I wana see..... a Power Blow Trade Off.

The AI does go through preset set-ups, but what's also being done is that PB's can beat out premature hold attempts. It's a clever tactic when used right.

Its particularly fun when it happens with a Power Launcher because you have to commit to those.

When a player does this they are essentially saying.... I know exactly what you're gonna do....... ofcourse it can Backfire pretty hard.

You should immediately punish the CB anyway to prevent them from doing those things in the first place (unless you're playing against Hitomi who has a stupidly safe CB at -3 on block, grrr...)

A lot of characters have safe CB's that are -6. Momiji being one of them.
