Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Requires 2 lightsaber heroes, or someone trying to melee a blocking lightsaber hero (like those annoying bots in Co-Op). Can tell exact details in PM and even submit a video if necessary, but I don't think I should discuss it publicly...
What happens when the bug occurs? The bug allows the player to skip the attack and blocking animations but still deal damage, while they can also retain their blocking state -> They can damage their opponent, but the player who is doing the glitch won't take any damage.

Has been in the game for months, more and more people abusing it.
Some will argue it's a mechanic even though there is no information about any "parry" mechanics in this game, there are no ways to counter it and there is no animation for it either - in fact the whole "mechanic" is about skipping animations.
