Still. Can not. Counter. Guard. Break. | Forums

The fact that GB is such a hit topic and most diskussions about gameplay revolve around GB is a testament of the problems with the game.

We should be talking about the cool core gameplay, the three-way attack defence system.

But instead it's all about this one button skill, wanting it nerfed for buffed.

GB should be a minor side dish - not the main course.

No. I use it as a signature whenever I want. The link is not assassinating your free will not to read it. Just present your own ideas and don't spend so much time telling others how to post. I post politely, and don't flame other peoples ideas even when disagreeing. I certainly am not interrested in a meta discussion about post ethics

On console it´s still after you see the red gb icon. You can hear a slight "tap" sound, that is when you press to counter. Works 50% of the time, 100% of the time!
I practised this on lvl3 bots. Took a while, but now I´m able to do it and I also play a lot better. You don´t need to spam the button. Listen to the "tap" sound. Hope this helps, this is also a viable way to counter vortex spamming Wardens, who usually get trampled on after it because that´s all they know how to do.

This is the most important part. Your instinct tells you that, well, I block when I see red, and I parry when I see red, so I CGB when I see red as well. But nope, it's after you see red - if you press it while the red shield becomes visible you messed up and you will fail.

And I know, it's hard, I fail myself all the time, but as soon as you realise why you will get better with time.

You do not have to get better at the timing though, as it's being changed

Well if you parry when you see the red mark you failed too. At least at the slow heavies.

Op. :Practice with bots and you will get used to the right timing. Thats what i and many of us did too.

I have practiced against bots for hours and although my timing may not be perfect its pretty close. This still only gets me maybe a 50% success ration in game. I still believe most of these timing issues come from crap connections. Most games I am the only one with an open NAT green connection (along with open ports).

MY counter-grab works, sometimes.

I have a ****load of other issues but only with my main charakter, the rest plays just fine:

Yes, I realize there is a certain timing, and I know exactly what that timing is. Yes, I realize they JUST updated it to work like it did in BETA - where I was fully able to do it. NO I STILL CAN NOT COUNTER A SINGLE GUARD BREAK.

I PRESS THE CORRECT BUTTON, AT THE CORRECT TIME, AND IT DOES. NOT. WORK.

PEOPLE ARE STILL ABLE TO COUNTER MY GUARD BREAKS FREELY, BY PRESSING THE BUTTON AT THE CORRECT TIME, AND I AM NOT ALLOWED TO DO IT.

THIS MAKES ME WANT TO KILL VARIOUS THINGS.

What platform are you using? I use a PC with a 360 controller. I have had a lot of similar frustration. The recent patch has certainly made a difference. Prior I got 0% now i get like 15-20%. There is a controller bug for PC users where if you are pressing any other buttons it cancels out the GB input. You literally have to let go of everything and hit GB. This is an extreme disadvantage(compared to Kb/M users) considering we have to relinquish positive control of our guard already to get to our GB button in time, let alone releasing ALL buttons. Until they allow Controller users to re-map the button bindings I fear GB counters will continue to be non-existent and a free combo/throw for all Kb/M opponents.

They say they reverted it back to beta state but it still doesn't feel like that. Now it's just completely unresponsive. The release state GB atleast had a specific timing to it that I could nail 50/50 of the time. Now it's back to 0/100. Just so frustrating when many classes get free cheese after a GB.
