Blocking trouble

[Jack Stryker]

I don't know if this was ever an issue in my past plays, but in my most recent fighter play, I'm finding it nearly impossible to block a brigand's strikes. In fact, many times, I can swear to God that I pressed the block buttons before his sword could come down at me, but I still end up taking a hit - many times in a row. Against jackalmen, it's less of an issue, as they seem to attack a little slower. (Not that I don't have to watch my back against their partners.)
