when practicing against A.I is there any way to code the A.i in game to perform certain moves (guard blocks in this case), since i find the game so comparable to fighting games (where this is a common feature i struggle to understand why A.I customisation wasn't implemented to help when practicing specific moves

We don't have that customization for AI behaviors in customs, but if you do the advanced tutorial there is a segment that practices counter-guardbreaks. The AI there will repeatedly guardbreak you until you decide to move to the next segment.

After much practice, I can counter guard break most of the time.. Basically the only time they get me is when they gb while I dash or they unexpectedly gb me after feinting.
But when I first started, I thought mastering the timing of the counter gb was going to be impossible.

Still the best thing is when you know an enemy who likes to gb and throw people off. Just go up to him and light over and over, you may be shocked of how many times they will attempt to guard break while you keep smacking them with the light..

Another thing is learning to predict when most characters gb. This is a big one to me, a lot of people play a character the same way.
LB shoves you, he will most likely try to gb (now he also has the option to light)
Orochi hits you with a storm rush (I believe it is called) they are likely going to gb after it or do the double top lights and then guardbreak (they literally do that 98% of the time)
If a berserker is a feint>gb lover then expect it, for the remainder of the fight, to think you are about to block an attack for him to feint and gb.
If you are out of stamina be prepared to counter guard break.
If you are near a ledge prepare to counter guardbreak.

It is probably one of the best ways I counter gb is through predicting it. You can either read your specific opponent and the way they like to fight and when they like to throw in gb. Or you can read your situation or the character you are up against and when that character usually likes to gb.
