Your thoughts on low blocking mid attacks?

[blackjak22]

Just discussing how low block mechanics work. Do you feel some attacks shouldn't be blocked by a low block? I remember doing some combos against some AI where the hits look like it hits towards the stomach where you can actually low block. I feel to break low blocks you hit chest but its like low chest. I know for a fact uppercut is a chest attack but duck dodges that so I think chest attacks are just dodged. Only certain stomach attacks can break low block. All in all it SEEMS low block is more rewarding this time in this game in that you can avoid more attacks now than high blocking.

Can't remember any particular examples of low block mechanic except one with Jade when she throws her normal boomerang its can be blocked by low block as well.

I don't know if I should call this an issue/problem but I feel it's worth discussing. Any standard tips for breaking low blocks?

Yeah the way some of the blocks work in this game are stupid. Like Mileena's roll can be defended by a standing block which is retarded in my honest opinion. Subzero's slide on the other hand has to be low blocked. I hate that.

well it seems stupid visually in game but when you think about, mileena's roll IS a launcher as in it can start juggles and such. Sure sub zero's slide has to low block but at least you don't have to worry about being juggled.
