📋 About This Mod
SKSE addon for MCO which allows blocking during the recovery period and fixes ignored blocking inputs.
In vanilla, if you hold the block button whilst attacking, you will directly go into the blocking animation after the attack animation ends.
With MCO, this block button is ignored until you press the block button after the animation has ended.
This addon allows you hold the block button whilst attacking, where you will directly go into the blocking animation, making this behaviour more fluid.
This also means that you can block during the recovery period, just like how movement is unlocked.
