Was there a change in blocking?
I few mates have mentioned to me how blocking is a lot quicker now, allowing for opponents to block every punch that goes there way. This seems to happen to every player no matter the ping. Was there a change at all that may have caused this?

See here. Between the Beta and Steam release version, an extra frame was added to the block animation, unless something was changed recently. I don’t recall seeing anything to do with this in any of the update changelogs.

It's important to point that the extra frame is just visual. The block timings haven't changed.

Recent updates have not change blocking.
Locking this topic before it turns into another "Pre-alpha melee vs melee now" topic which has been brought up several times already. To quote myself:

Majority of the changes (if not all) we have done up to the release of the game compared to the PRE-ALPHA (a game that is a work-in-progress and not representative of the final version of the game) when it comes to melee has been to address different issues and game-play exploits we never intended in earlier versions of the game. (Dolphin-diving, shotgun-kick-combos, abort-roll-abuse, etc...) Some changes have been subtle but necessary according to us to combat certain (advanced) exploitable melee-combo-patters we never intended. Play testing and feedback throughout the pre-alpha, alpha and beta has helped us make the decisions up to this point.
