this wasn't happening before

Mostly because of P2P, you are lagging, in your screen you are in the middle of attack, on the opponent screen you just started the attack, so it doesn't count.
I block most of the attacks in the right place but still get hit, the same story...
Or sometimes I cut through the enemy block.
Yeah this game is very broken. Sadly =(

It happens because you are still vulnerable to GB during the early part of your attack. Heavy attacks are especially vulnerable.

It happens because this game is garbage.

No other real reason.

Its not lag.

@Ryuhi Its not in the early stages of an attack.

I know what hes talking about and ive made a thread myself with no feedback. I have literally been mid chain with kensei and been GBed. If i am mid flip for the top heavy finisher unblockable i am obviously at the end of a chain, not guarding, and not in the beginning of an attack, but ive still been GBed in it. Within this week its happened more and more. It is more consistent with bots, as if they arent playing by the games rules, but occasionally happens with players too.

Thx a lot to prove that I'm not crazy. Nobushi/Kensei player here and when it never happened with my Nobushi (like ever, even during my strong attacks) it happens VERY often with my Kensei.

Happens all the time on my LB as well. Even bot's pull it off all the time so i doubt it's lag.

You're all being guard broken out of your startup frames(working as intended), not the middle of a swing. If you were guard broken in the middle of a swing, there is something wrong with your internet. Get off the WiFi and get an ethernet cord.

you can still be gb'd during the 'startup' frames of an attack before the attack becomes 'active' heavies are more susceptible to this because they have longer startup frames. At least that's what it appears to be.

It does happen with me in the middle of a swing while playing the Kensei and I honestly doubt it has something to do with the internet.

I'm using ethernet cord with a great connection and so are my friends who I'm playing with. Also, as I said, it NEVER happened with my Nobushi, not even once, when it happens all the time with the Kensei. I doubt my connection is that selective.

And just my opinion but a GB shouldn't even work during the startup frame of an attack, you're clearly attacking at this point and this is supposed to be a GUARD break. I think Ubi put too much utility in this tool, not surprising matches often turns into a wrestling contest.
