Seb and Damdai take a look at blocking in Mortal kombat. Important takeaways:

Releasing block makes your hitbox smaller, allowing you avoid many fireballs and certain moves, like Nightwolf's shoulder
Characters take (interruptible) time to move between standing and crouching, but the guard happens instantaneously anyway
Committing to a crouching guard makes it difficult to come out with attacks, especially anti-air against crossups
