Very few actually hold the stance, but you are right that it is indeed possible, and as such i have updated the guide to reflect it. I also updated the guides mention of the timing for the move.Originally Posted by Altair_Snake Go to original post
Personally i think the guard system for it works completely fine? You have top, right, left and down guards, all are their own directions and are kinda hard to screw up really.
Can she land a viper's retreat after a parry you ask, and as far as i remember from the last test, it was entirely possible. I will try again next test however to double check this information.
I had the same problem. Not realising the stance could be held because the game registered me as pushing slightly left or right along with down. I'd enter hidden stance for a second then break out. I think it should be brought more to the devs attention. Shouldn't be an issue with altering the deadzone a little.Originally Posted by Altair_Snake Go to original post
I've been trying out some nobushi in the open beta, but I haven't figured out how I should follow up my parries. From what I've read guard break seems to be best option, followed by upper heavy attack. If guard break lands, will this heavy attack be guaranteed? Also, when I've tried for side heavies after parrying my opponent sometimes manages to block/dodge. In the guide side heavies were supposedly guaranteed after parry, is this only true vs some heroes?
Thanks for all the info so far though, been very helpful! Any tips on where I can read up on numbers related to timings, stun duration, etc? Seems like every time I wanna learn something I have to find a quote in some forum.
