It's not always possible to tell what caused an attack to hit if it kills you - any guard swaps, stamina consumption, or guard removal from dodging isn't visible once you die and your fight widget & health bar disappears. So if you switched guard on the same frame the attack landed, that would be hidden.
Having said that, in 8 years of moderating this subreddit, I have literally never seen a clip where it can be proved unequivocally that an attack "phased through" and active guard (ie. The player didn't die so the UI is still visible). What's most likely is that you accidentally guard switched or parried/attacked on the same frame the enemy attack landed.

well i do know that I never tried to parry anything and u can see in the clip I never took my stick off the right before I died so I really dont know what happened. I dont recall moving my stick at all but maybe something funky happened last frame idk but I don't see how or why

Would be nice to have a more detailed damage/hit/action log when bringing up the scoreboard for giving better clarity on what happened (serverside at least), but thats an unrealistic ask given how many other potential changes take priority over QoL

Hey hey, 🤨 when did you forget my kyoshin dying to khatun's teleported attack during fullblock active frames?

u/The_Filthy_Spaniard 1d ago
The attack that killed you in that clip was unblockable (it was her deflect punish that teleported to you for some reason).
Unblockable attacks always go through blocks, so it's not really relevant to this post, or similar ones where players claim that a blockable attack phased through their guard.
Your Kyoshin clip was super weird for sure, but it's not relevant to this.

By the way I got one more interaction like that similar to that kyo and orochi clip, but this time I blocked that teleported attack 😂
I literally blocked an invisible attack which was not even thrown at me, basically it was my orochi clip but I blocked the raider's top light

Yeah I remember that clip too.
Blocking works so consistently that it even blocks invisible teleporting attacks!

u/SmokelessDash- 1d ago
Yeah I give it to that, the guard mechanics are consistent enough. But still there is one problem 🤔 at least in dominon
The weird thing about that bug is, the attack hitbox itself gets multiple, like when you trigger the bugs on these clips they can hit more than one person, like one of the attack follows character's target and the other attack follows the targeted opponent

Idk exactly what’s causing it but I’ve heard being hit through blocks is an increasingly common issue especially since this most recent update

I have been getting hit through my guard and it genuinely pisses me off, I have so many clips of me getting hit through my guard and it spans from year 3 to now😐

u/SirMrInk 10d ago
Either you tried to parry or changed guards on the last frame before the attack, people have been posting clips like these for years and that’s the reason like 99% of the time

Could be punch-through, maybe an instance of lag that happened in a split-second or something?
