Special Attack gets blocked and the Bot gets countered afterward

K, So I was using drift against sideswipe. I did a full 5 hit combo and launched a special, it gets blocked and drift gets countered with a combo afterward. Anyone else having this problem?

no. he's talking about the game bug.
OP...it'll happen from time to time...unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about it because it's really on them to fix their bad code that gives the AI "ultra instinct". There are also times when it is because your game lagged right when you tap the sp but you can tell when this happens.
Yep, all the time. Sadly, going for that 5th hit and then trying to land the SP is too risky. It’s not as bad as it was 3-4 months ago but still present.
Basically, once you connect on Basic Melee Attacks 7 times (something I am all too guilty of), Sideswipe has an increased probability to not just evade basic Melee Attacks, but also Special Melee Attacks (like Drift’s SP1 & SP2... his SP3 is unbkockable). I had this happen to me on Grimlock’s SP1 & OG Optimus‘ SP1 in my most recent Titan Cycles Mission).
Yes, this can happen. Though, an evade doesn’t mean the AI blocks as it did for OP - it means the the AI evades or dodges.
The too-fast-of-a-reaction issue still does occur, but not as often as it did before Kabam kinda fixed it. I have it recorded somewhere, but am too lazy to find it and edit it into a gif.
you know most evade can proc on a sp right? it's not a Sideswipe ability
I feel like this AI reaction issue is creeping back.. but not with block or the heavy dodging..it's more being able to do another move during what should be a cool down...esp with Bots that are already given quick reflexes. Jetfire been doing some crazy stuff that the animations can't keep up.
That’s true... but in the case of my OG Optimus’ SP1, I connected on the 1st (& 2nd) Melee portions of the SP1 attack, but Sideswipe dodged the final Melee portion of the attack and immediately countered. And yes, I have seen Arcee & an accelerated Hot Rod do that too, but still, I was always under the assumption that once you connected on any part of the Special attack, the rest of the attack would connect as well. I guess I am wrong.
