to punish

I dont understand what you mean

Ok say a move is -5 on block right? If you Stagger Escape the block stun of the move on on block it can become -7 on block instead of -5 on block. This method was in DOA4 and DOA5 Vanilla but they took it out in Ultimate and kept it in the Arcade Ver. In Tekken 6 and Tekken BR they're were differences which is the reason why alot of tekken players overseas did not travel to Murica to play.

Hopefully TN doesn't make the same mistake and don't add this feature in DOA5U.

So if you block my move via SE, I get increased recovery?

Basically Sly.. i think it shortens your block stun which then shorten the recovery of the person blocking. In other words, yeah it increases your recovery. Its not MAJORLY breaking (2-3 frames) but it does make the attacker cautious of what they do on block. It'd hope this doesn't count as when the attacker is + because that would be broken as all hell. It'd be - on a move thats +1 lolol

You've managed to confuse me more. I'm going to stop trying to understand because it doesn't directly affect me.

Let me break it down... you do a move on block.. lets say Hayates 6PK. Its -5 on block so its pretty much safe. If i Stagger Escape after the K followup from 6PK i can make that move -7 on block instead of -5 on block.
