Block & Guard Breaks

Damage Bleedthrough

When your Block Meter is low, strikes will cause some damage leaving you vulnerable even if your block is up. Some strikes like Overhands and Roundhouse Kicks will cause some damage no matter how perfect your block might be. Avoid these types of strikes with movement instead.
