For the love of all that is Holy, adjust guard-break | Forums

[hafeatnburito]

This is an issue that doesn't seem to be brought up very often. I understand that in the Alpha, the window was too large and no one could ever land a successful guard-break, but the nerf to the counter guard-break has a window that is too small. I find myself struggling to counter this move. It is a move that I am constantly looking for when fighting and it is somewhat easier to read in a duel, but I can never defend against it. I can safely say that I land about 1 out of 10 successful guard-break counters (same for my opponents.) I feel that widening this window by 1/2 a second or ever a 1/4 of a second would make countering this move much more doable. As of right now, this is by far my biggest issue with the game (besides the assassin meta.)

Take care, if u press counter guard break before the opponents HITS you(after u see the start animation), you won't be able to counter guardbreak anymore

see the start animation

The animation isn't always super distinguishable for all characters. This is especially true in dominion where the camera is zoomed out.

You cannot defend against a guardbreak? What kind of sorcery is this. And i don't understand your 3 option in the poll. Where is the option to select "GB shouldn't be counterable on reaction".

You should really try reddit some time. Very productive place.

People who think guard break window needs to be widened can't have played this game for more than 10 hours and are honestly dog crap at this game. People who have played fighting games on a competitive level say the GB counter window is actually to large and at a high level greatly reduces its effectiveness. If you just insist that you suck to much to counter GB, simply light attack as it stops the animation and deals damage, shocking right? This game is already heavily in favor of defense, GB is the ONLY way to counter a solid defense out side of some limited unblockables. Also, you probably are ignorant of the timing windows where GB is uncounterable due to making a punishable move. There are certain light attacks, dashes, and GB misses that can be punished with an uncounterable GB, this is intentional. Please at least reach a decent level of proficiency in the game before complaining about getting punished for beginner mistakes.

the timewindow to counter guardbreak is fine, its more like this game has massive issues and bugs going that prevent you from countering, even while you should be able to do.
Seen that extremly often today, my character is like AFK, Stunned, on Toiletbreak obviously - im pressing guardbreak NOPE, even better when you guardbreak first, but the game doesnt register your guardbreak and the enemy guardbreaks you, while you wasted your time - you are blown up aswell in that scenario.

All I got from that was "Guys, Im so f****** gud at this game that FaZe already asked me to join there team as team captain. Im just that next level! Everybody else is just a bunch of plebian scum lords compared to how exceedingly awesome I am. If any scrubs think they can 1v1 me, my screen name is XXN0sc0pesxx420XXswagl0rdXXdudeManBroxX." lol get off your high-horse
