Getting hit mid-avoid?

I've been playing some guy a few matches, and for whatever reason I would constantly get hit while doing attacks which give i-frames towards those hits. For instance, he would jab me out of low sweeps with attacks that I knew couldn't hit low and had missed before, out of sideways dodges with stopping attacks or hit me while I'm using the Windfall dodge. I couldn't fight him at all since I rely on avoids so much. Is this normal or is the game letting me know the effects of online lag?

I believe it sounds like lag. In his view you could have still been in a state where you wouldn't dodge the jab etc. it happens, there are techniques sloclap can use to minimize it and hopefully it gets better...

Thanks. It doesn't help to know it's lag much. Like, I appreciate it, but it's annoying because it's not like I can reduce my lag by significant amounts and stop this.

It depends on a few things really. A lot of moves have iframes during specific parts of their animation and it's not always the startup frames.

Back tripped kick, low spin heel, all have a moment before the iframes kicked in.

This coupled with lag could be why you're experiencing issues.

Lag must have been it. Though he also double hit me out of Windfall dodge... Like, I would see the DWP and jump, but the second hit would land on me even if I literally gained Shard and Stamina from the dodge.
