Guard break counter is not fixed... | Forums

I still can't counter GB's on the Orochi. I can do it with the Valk, but those are the only two characters I've played since the patch.

I tried countering insanely soon, soonish, medium, and fairly long after -- all to no avail.

What are your guys' experiences with GB countering since the patch? And what characters have you tried?

I didnt have any problem with countering gb's before but i really dont see any change after the patch. When i push too early then i got gb'ed. When about the same time as my opponent then its rng. Never seen the thing when both characters attempted it and both ended up cgb'd like in the beta.

So did I learn CGB before patch and have no issues now. Cant see any diffrence neither.

I never had a problem with certain characters, but others just seemed completely incapable. I really think it was limited to specific classes.

That's because you didn't understand the patch notes, mate.

They didn't change the "tech timing" on GB. You still have to wait for the opponent to actually touch you before teching, so the timing is still the same as at launch and I doubt they will ever change it, since in CB all you had to do was to spam GB to counter it.

What change is the weird behaviour GB had when both player were using it at the same time. What was happening before was that when both used GB at the same time, player one
would win the GB and player two just had to take the unfair punish without having the opportunity to react. Now, after the patch, if both players use GB at the same time, the loser can actually tech the GB by using it a second time with the right timing.

I am finding it easier to counter GBs since the patch, so I think they must have widened the reaction window slightly. Beforehand I had to be more-or-less psyhcic in predicting it, now I can react when I see the symbol and it usually works. Not always - but usually.

You probably just got better at teching or you are just in a better mindset. Because they didn't changed the timing at all.

they did

its absolutely back to beta stage

if you counter GB the momment your enemy starts the GB then you will succesfully Cgb did it multiple times since patch you dont need to wait for it to touch you anymore.

the window is waaay wider now.

i even got some double Cgb when we both used GB at the same time and we both got pushed back XD

OK... not gonna argue with that.

[teksuo1]

it's not like i thought it was gonna be.

the window appears to be the same, everything is the same.
The difference is that if both players press gb at the same time, whoever loses the gb war can still counter gb (was impossible before).

Haven't noticed any other change regarding this tbh.
