This may seem kind of noob but why is it that I am guarding/recovering, I still get hit by a move? I was playing today against my friend (Chipp user), and when I'd get knocked down, or launched in the air, I'd recover with FD and immediately guard. To my surprise I would still be hit, not just once, but several times. Is it that Chipp is just more fast, and can get in a few extra hits upon knockdown? Or that I am pressing a button while guarding? I've gotten extremely frustrated with this and it has seriously had an impact on my gameplay. Zappa is my major char, followed by Ky and Dizzy.
I understand that a lot of these events are highly situational, and probably relating to the active frames of moves/hitboxes.... I've read the FAQ and have been reading several parts of this forum, but I was hoping that there'd be a more direct solution to my problem.
