sometimes when i am swooping, and someone beams at me, i stop and press block, but because it responds too slow, i die, sometimes, it doesnt even block at all, so im like wtf, i think block should respond faster and if u are way stronger than the beam, u should be able to block when u are moveing/swooping like for example a ki blast(number 2) u should be able to hit it away as u swoop or fly

Dont block, flee. Solves that problem. I dont see why a ki blast wouldnt be deflected by you if your pl was higher. They should add that in, and take away all delays.

It has a delay between the moment you press the button and the moment you actually block, because in 1.0 (i think) it was instant and it was abused.

It has a lot more to do with aiming to the side and with your ping than the delay. The delay is minisceul(sp?), barely noticeable, but what often happens is someone detonates the beat at the last second or they angle themselves differently before they swoop into you.

miniscule...

and you just have to learn to anticipate your block being slow. i always double tap block, like the swooping. it seems to work better for me.

no, you could attack instantly after you blocked. hehe, if your ping was good enough you could even hit them b4 they hit you. i think it should be put in the game, you know, to counter the simple melee double hit. fight fire with fire!

block has always had a delay on it

for whatever reason its never been improved on saying to make it instant when u push it


most of the time the split second delay is enough to kill u and make block worthless

I have no idea what you guys are talking about. I've had a lot of fast close matches and a lot of times where i've detonated a beam and immediately tapped block with no trouble. Even if I was hit a tenth of a second after I hit the button I would still block. The delay is really small... I think what the real problem people are having is the animations get caught up in each other. If you press block too soon after you stop swooping it wont register for some reason, or if you are holding it and *then* stop swooping it wont register as happening, or if you are holding it and press fly you'll stop blocking.

Then it's your aim. If you aim to the side of someone, even a little, you can miss.

If you don't aim at the person you are blocking you wont block them. You can aim a bit to the sides but not much.
