    Please fix guard break, it is broken beyond belief

    Either make it consume lots of stamina or slow it down. Counter guard break almost never works because the window is like 0.1sec and you are almost never expecting it.

    OP is correct tbh.

    The risk/reward ratio on GB is way too strong.

    If successful you get a free heavy attack or a 1HK. If they defend against it you lose a very small amount of stamina and are disengaged from the enemy before they can counter attack.

    Honestly failing a GB should result in your opponent getting a free light attack on you.

    It would also deter people from chain spamming GB attempts.

    I also agree that it is way too hard to defend against.

    A successful GB is at least worth a heavy attack but defending against a GB has a way smaller window than defending against a heavy attack AND GB can not be punished in response like initiating a heavy attack and having it parried.

    If given the option between going for a GB or going for a heavy attack it is almost strictly better to go for the GB.

    Currently guard break counter works but you have to press it not when the symbol flashes instead press ist when the enemy touches you

    Without a strong guardbreak the game will not work well with it's current blocking system. Defence will become even more of an offensive tool.
