Unblockable Moves | Forums

I'm not sure how many people will agree but I think any attack should be open for a counter.
Each class has a ability/move that is not blockable but this has been getting abused BIG TIME. If you continue to use the same move you can easily keep someone staggered long enough to activate a shove or another unblock able attack and keep someone pinned. Its even worse when you get double teamed by people using stagger moves just to throw down another move you can not block

If you use the Heavy Attack just after the attack arrive in a direction you can divert the attack, even the unblockable ones. I'm a Kensei main and against other kenseis and Raiders i use that.

Learn to parry, OP. This is a case of git gud before complaining. I know how you feel, though, I've been there myself. I watched videos and read-up on the internet instead of complaining, though.

Edit: to parry, you guard in the direction of the incoming attack, and just as the red attack icon flashes, you press heavy attack. If the opponent has no stamina when you parry, you'll knock them to the ground; if they have stamina you'll knock them back and open them up to a quick attack or a stun of some sort.

Unblockable attacks can be parried, dodged, or light attack interrupted.

Im a Kensei main and you never, ever use your overhead unblockable against a good player, because it never lands and leaves you open.

If anything unblockables should be buffed, this is supposed to be my bread and butter, but I never use it because theres no point unless my opponent is out of stamina.

Again, this is VS good players, unblockables are scrub killers.

Thank you for the feedback.

Maybe I did not make myself exactly clear on what I was talking about. I know how to deflect, parry, and dodge.

What I am talking about is when someone runs up to you and middle mouse buttons you ( guard break ) and lands it before I can shove off. Is there ANYWAY to block the overhead attack that usually follows from that? I have had other people block my overheads/

I have tried everything.

Ah, you should be able to land an overhead LIGHT attack 100% of the time after a guard break, you cannot do anything about it if you missed the guard break counter. If you are getting that light attack blocked then either your not spamming it after the guard break or the host is lagging. *cough* p2p servers.

So, no you cannot block an overhead light attack after a guard break, a heavy yes.

No heavies (for certain characters) are guaranteed after aGB.

Thanks guys

I think I have it answered now after TCTF_SWAT's post. Going back to my original post I believe that was my initial point. Those classes that get the guaranteed heavy attack after GB seem a bit OP. It gets annoying fighting someone who constantly uses that. I should have been more clear.

What are some of your suggestions to counter this being constantly moved? Anything else besides making sure you counter the GB?

Appreciate the info!

What classes have this guaranteed attack after GB?
