Backstagger Recovery?

After doing the 90% backstagger combo with Lei-Fei hundreds of times against the CPU in Kumite..

I've noticed that sometimes the CPU manages to stay on the ground after the first after the back stagger part.

(TR)[DM]P+K - f, f+K - d+PKG, <font color=orange>K</font color=orange> ....

somehow the combo stays grounded and recovers to avoid the combo.

Is this a glitch or a defensive struggle technique? Its very rare it only occurs 1/20 times. It could be my consistency with the combo or the computer actually struggles out.

Anyone like to confirm?

 

offtopic but also sorta similar.... what's the deal with wall combos when this happens:

training mode, computer doesn't block: sgpm (wall stagger), yoho is a combo according to the official "combometer" (TM James Chen, all rights reserved)

training mode, the computer is told to block: sgpm, yoho is guarded every single time.

Is the wall animation strugglable?
Is the combometer stupid?
What's up?

 

i struggled out of the backstagger combo twice. i think my opponent wasn't slow cos he did the combo alot of times.

it's really hard anyway...

 

Re: wall staggers

Wall staggers are struggable, as are back staggers. Watch the replay match Between Kyasao Kage and and v.good Lau player in the PS2 replay CD-Rom. Kage does f+P+G - f+P back stagger and the Lau player managed to block the harder to struggle out of f+K+G (as opposed to uf+K+G). You basically have to spaz on the buttons with circular joystick motions then hold back and guard.

There were plenty of people getting out of Jeffrys db+P+G wall hit combo follow-ups when I was watching matches in Japan.

Learning to struggle properly is easily as important as leaning how to pull of combos and stuff, just ask Hatim...
