I don't know if this frustrates anyone else as much as me but I guess I'll see.
I hate it when I am on the attack and exactly a split second before I hit the opponent,... boom the F. does a special and it save him from the hit. This to me doesn't make sense and to top it off when specials are dodged you can't even hit the person during the special. I personally hate this. Can we fix this problem.
P.S.
To piggy back on this if someone is about to bleed to death and does a level three all of the sudden they're safe from what was inevitable. Can you make it so that this doesn't happen anymore either but having it interrupt like it does the specials, or to treat it like a backfire. Thank you for reading.

If you dash in at a bot with a special, they can fire off the special in your face and will land it every time. I actually do this to the ai when they dash in at me. If you pause during a combo for a second or enemy evades during a combo, same thing. They will launch a special.
Specials themselves make the bot using them invulnerable during the animation. Learn to bait and dodge specials and you will learn when to counter at the end to follow up with a combo of your own.
Special 3 continues the invulnerable during special by making it so the using bot cannot die during and if the dot causing damage ends, yes, the bot will still be at 1 hp when SP3 ends. This applies to you and the AI.
Again, this is all functioning as intended.
To avoid this and win more often, follow the 5 D's as detailed by Patches O'Houlihan:
One little gimmick to this AI behavior is they often use a special when you'll right on them when they get back up. I best use this strategy with Shockwave against Waspinator. Throwing one light (Not medium) punch sets him off and I block the special 1, counter with a combo and hit him with my S1 with 3 charges on it. This also works for Mv2 Megatron. Block the first punch and dodge according to what ever special he used. I use this most often in raids as the AI gets more "cheap moves" there.
Now a human player would have to be spamming the special button in order to outrace that light punch when they got up, but the computer can instantly read and act within the same nano second. If you time it right, you'll be able to block before the special animation fires.
Better to just bait it out than push your luck.
In the end I was wondering if anyone else was annoyed by this or if it was just me. Again though thank you guys for the response
So what happened here? I did a S1 of my Prime while the nearly dead SW fired a ranged shot at mid range. We traded hits, he was KO and my Prime entered hit stun, but wait! Why did we trade hits? My Prime was in a special!
I was once hit by Drift's S2, received an epic bleed and was about to bleed out. I desperately did a S3 during which my lifebar hit empty. Upon finishing the S3, I suddenly saw his sword coming out of nowhere, spinning in the air, killing me! Damn.
And as for trading hits during a special, idk. I've never had the game freeze at any point that would allow me to scrutinize. I think there are a few potential frames at beginning and end that allow for damage but the bulk is invincible.
I do have to wonder about the little UFO under Soundwave portrait. I have noticed that apps running in the background like that can cause me occasional issues which is why I don't make as many videos as I would like.
Was the bleed still on your bot after the s3 was done?
If so, that's why. S3 will only save you if the debuff runs its course
