Oh my God, is this...someone with a basic understanding of how fighting games work? And he's in OCW? Wow.
That is not how punishment works. However, it is one of the many reasons why we are playing a terrible fucking game - whiff punishment is, if done correctly*, not blockable. Unsafe punishment is, if done correctly*, not blockable. Both of these things are, in Smackdown, BLOCKABLE under most circumstances.
Seriously, why the fuck have we not moved to Tekken, or Virtua Fighter, or fuck, even MUGEN?
*(done correctly = proper frames, e.g. not trying to punish -15 moves with i31)
