I have some news on this. I've recently allowed Splitscreen on PC to make some tests (no idea why DICE hides the splitscreen menu on the PC version), and my method to reproduce this bug actually works. It's a bit hard, but I've managed to do it several times yesterday, I'll post the video on this later this week (maybe today if I get the time).
I got Rey as player 1 and Vader as player 2. Both facing each other. Vader chokes. Rey must block in the window of time between a successful block of the choke and a successful hit of the choke. If done correctly, and the blocking button keeps pressed, Rey shall start taking choke damage, gets her speed slowed, but is still able to walk and keep blocking. Now comes the hardest part. If the blocking button is simply released, Rey resumes the choking animation and floats in the air as if she had just been hit by the choke. However, if she dashes away in a specific time during the choke damage, she ignores the choking animation and loses the ability to block.
I managed to do this several times yesterday, so I'm sure the devs can achieve this with some focus. It may be hard to get the exact time, but with some trial and error through a few attempts I'm sure it's doable.
Once again, huge thanks for the help with investigating the source of this bug! :eahigh_file:
