Require help with IK+

Adropac2 · 04 October 2008, 22:38

Just played this again recently and have come away a little frustrated (only a little)

Why does a block never seem to work when apparantly activated - the guy just sticks his arm into a blocking position and takes the hit anyway.Not once i don't think have i ever managed a block

And why is this never mentioned

Same for the C64 version as well

Exploding fist for C64 employs a very neat blocking function that works every time

So then guys what am i doing wrong exactly

This might be obvious and is probably not it, but are you sure you are not trying to block a low attack with a standing block, or a high attack with a crouching block?

Oh, and you cannot block attacks from behind, logically.

I'm pretty sure IK only blocks automatically in the correct position unless it's a sweep of course

The thing is, when you have your arm already held up protecting your face and a flying kick comes in and decks you, you question the point of this blocking system

So what do others think because i can't seem to block at all

I don't remember IK+ blocks automatically at all. I might be totally wrong, but I think you have to press back, e.g. left if facing right, to block high attacks, and back-down to block low attacks. Blocking will only work if somebody is actually attacking you, otherwise you will just walk backwards

Just try it out in two player mode...

Cheers for the reply

I'll give it another shot rsn8887 with what you said but i'm fairly sure down and away gives you a crouching punch(i'm going by memory though)

Indeed block isn't even activated unless your being attacked

I'm sure most players don't even attempt to block which is why it's not a problem to those that sing the praises of this game

Like i said i'll try again but i'd love someone on here that is a IK+ veteran to tell me if this is actually properly possible or not
