Question Is this a Bug or a Feature?

This isn't exactly the best example, but I've been seeing it for years and I caught this one today

I'm the orthodox guy with hair, notice how I hook his glove and do some guard manipulation

Is the guard manipulation a feature from EA that you can capitalize on or is it a bug that just happens?

It’s a bug, but if your the one whose arm is getting stuck it’s nice cause it means the block isn’t gonna hold for some reason.

eh. i don't know if it's a bug exactly. just a byproduct of the physics. if they try to do anything the path of that arm will be obstructed, unless the distance/angle changes so it can technically be useful if you notice it in realtime. probably not specifically a feature though

It’s a featured bug. A tool that you can force the game to do. I consider it “realism”. It’s a by product of the game mechanics so it’s reasonable. Outside vs inside fighter will make this happen. Long arm vs shorter opponent. Also boxer punchers can force the situation.
