Valkyrie Shield Tackle cancel into Guard Break? | Forums

[Gethseme]

Canceling into a GB is not possible with that move. It never was, it never said it was, and it probably never will be.

I'm not sure where you read that it could be canceled into GB. Since you all seem to agree that you can't do it, and have not seen it done, why are you so adamant that it exists? Maybe the answer is the simplest (which it is) in that Valk is not capable of performing that move.

Reading comprehension tests should be required to post on the forums. Reread the OP one last time... Just one last time. Hopefully you'll be able to read the picture, and read what he wrote correctly.

It EXPLICITLY states, in game, and in that screen shot, that you can CANCEL the SHIELD TACKLE ability with a GUARD BREAK by hitting X.

The OP asked, multiple times, how to cancel SHIELD TACKLE into GUARD BREAK. He cannot do it because it's currently not working. Either the ability is bugged, or the tooltip in-game, and in that screenshot on the OP, is wrong. Not Shield CRUSH, but Shield TACKLE.

Shield Crush is the shield bash chained from a Heavy attack.

Shield Tackle is only performed by dashing backwards, then hitting the GB button (which can be held to increase charge distance and grant All Block Stance). They are not the same move.

yeah did some more testing and i think it should probably work the same way warden charge->gb-cancel does, but it just isnt working...

80% say its bugged
20% say ubi didnt even implement it XD

this move alone could help the valk a TON, but yeah, sad it doesnt work


it would also be nice to trigger that shield charge by any other means besides back-dodge which always creates a rather big distance to the enemy and makes the charge extremely predictable... warden can spam theirs point blank range

Sorry for double post, but this needs to be highlighted. The problem right now is Shield Tackle is coded to be a completely different move. Honestly, I don't think anyone would mind if the Valk lost it's All Block Stance from Shield Tackle in exchange for Shield Tackle to be replaced by Shield Crush and all it's combos combined, with being able to Pouncing Thrust out of Shield Crush, and even GB out of it if they want. Right now, I don't think they can make the moves do the same thing because ST is coded to have All Block, not only for the charging up portion, but also while moving towards your opponent after you release the GB button. SC isn't an All Block move, and I don't know if they can separate the mechanics while maintaining the ability for both to have the same relative moveset (as in being able to cancel a heavy attack into it, or being able to cancel a normal Shield Crush into Pouncing Thrust/GB.).

Hey everyone,

How does the Shield Tackle cancel into Guard Break work? Shield Tackle cancel into Poucing Thrust works fine, but I tried every possible timing and I can't cancel it into a Guard Break (which would be really, really strong I think). It just does the normal unblockable tackle when I press X again.



Anyone managed it? If so, how?

Thanks!

Guard break does not work at all... just spent like 15 minutes trying against a bot. Game simply doesn't register it.

You can do the light cancel easily if you hold the shield tackle for longer than half a second, but it doesn't seem to work if you're trying to do the quick shield tackle, can't land a single one from an instant shield tackle release. Game doesn't seem to register the R1 input before the shield tackle animation starts. Might be to do with the 14 frame controller input lag, not sure though. I'll keep trying to do it, if not needs to be reported as a bug.

It's not a bug. You have to charge the ST until your character flashes. At that point, you've charged it enough to cancel into a Pouncing Thrust.
