Guaranteed damage after stagger

Here's what I found is guaranteed after a stagger. To test this, I went to dojo, set cpu to guard, and max stagger recovery. I initiated stagger by holding down for max charge

: (12f) 31 damage, +4 advantage
: (14f) 35 damage, knockdown
: (14f) 17 damage, knockdown

All 15f moves I tried were blocked.

All the throws I tried whiffed, unless I delayed them a bit. Anyone know why?

 

Good work!

You can not throw opponent who is affected by stagger.
This is one of the rules of VF, similar to "invincibility" on ground for everything except ground attacks.
