What I meant by bullshit was more general. There are such gems as Duo Wen Tian beginning the encounter with Hikari with an auto-hit, The Absolutely Positively Unbreakable Chain, Shingen w/ Shikai trolling Anders w/Vollstanding + Bankai and casually nullifying all of his complex manoeuvres, the Kage Bunshin, the Kido escape from Zetsu's Bankai, Bamshad no-selling an uppercut punch (which admittedly was an auto-hit, though followed-up with Roshan's auto-hit shortly afterward), Zhong's fire spell outclassing Hikari's Transcendent Kido, The Original Part 6 of Incursion... y'know, this kind of stuff.

It is true that most of the time you leave the reaction to me, but in certain instances it's just an illusion of choice. For instance, if you describe Carmen intercepting Mao, how am I supposed to react? I'm not going to pull off some bullshit, if he is intercepted he gets hit. The confusion with Wu stemmed from my wrong perception of the scene layout. She was laying after being hit with the previous attack, so when my mistake became apparent, I fixed that and described that she got hit with the second one because she had no time to react. What was she supposed to do, pinned to the ground and stunned?

When your characters attack, sometimes in a way that is very explicit about limiting my options to react, I often take the hit or describe that it was difficult to block/evade/counter. When my characters attack, however, you get creative. I suggest you tone down that behaviour a bit.
