Body blocking

[Volstead]

So when I did the tutorial, it showed me how to body block, but when i try to do it in a match against the AI, my fighter refuses to block to the body. Is it a bug? or is it becasue of the fighter I'm using?

The controls are no different - you can double check in the settings. But different fighters have different styles of blocks - some are less obvious than others.. ie - the philly shell is an arm across the body while others put both arms down with elbows. So you might be doing it, just doesn't look the same.

I have to block body shots with the stick outside of the tutorial as L1 doesn't seem to work there.

Its the right trigger and the left bumper together. Works perfectly.

I've also noticed that with some boxers it seems like pressing the shoulder button to block low doesn't work, but twisting the right analog down does.

Might be a bug. I don't think it's a block style issue since there's a notable difference in the stance of the boxer when done with the stick versus the shoulder button when the shoulder button doesn't seem to work.

Yeah, I know. R2 still functions, but pressing L1 isn't toggling between head and body block outside of the tutorial.

LB+RT is working for me on an Xbox controller

I noticed with Usyk, RT+LB wasnt blocking to the body, everyone else ive tried so far it was working correctly.

[goblueteam]

yes its RT+LB or you can use RT and use the right stick to move your block up/down/side

I also thought it was LB + RB
i played the tutorial in the beta but it would not work for me in this early access i cant get past the first step it does not register anything as being completed so i thought i was wrong and tried these other ways to block and it worked lol

it could be something only some fighters can do i guess?

Worked out what it is.

L1/LB blocking doesn't work in sim mode. You have far more control over blocking with the stick i.e height and direction you're blocking.
