    That would be the most terrible and idiotic thing to do, because a good player will parry the attack post block and throw you to the ground with 0 stamina, poison you and stab you a few times before you can get up, effectively deleting half of your HP if not more.

    I'm telling you people, Conqueror heavy attack post block and even post GB is not a guaranteed hit, can easily be blocked and parried , even bots do it constantly with 95% efficiency.

    At least on the PC version

    Conq used to be my main, and I've fought a lot of Nobushi.

    MassiveD is right about the hit being blockable, it happens all the time especially against faster opponents like assassins and Nobushi.

    What you want to do against the Nobushi is to adopt an offensive defence. Nobushi has longer range than you, and wants to keep it that way. If you start to back off she'll follow. You need to push her into a corner. Keep moving forward, block and CGB as they come. Try to parry and follow with a shield bash. When you block an attack you get a GB if you time it right, try to use it to throw her into a wall for a stun and some easy damage or just take the damage and go back to the defence.

    Pick your battle. In an open area she has the advantage.

    Ill try, I'm aware that when you block a heavy you can simply grab as if you parried, but their light attacks are the most problematic, and even more so with Valkyrie, because if you try to grab after blocking a light you will get stabbed by another light, that sort of psychology can work against you at times

    The best way is to put pressure on Nobushi and always try to lower the distance. There's always some wall or something behind her back so she can't move away all the time.
    Mark your attacks to force move Nobushi more into your direction. Mark especially when your attack get parried.

    I play as Nobushi and have always problem with Conq because of defense. It's hard to get pass it because most attacks are easily blocked. And when I get pinned down with wall behind me it's the end in most cases.

    Here, this shows it quite clearly:

    You can clearly see that their Guard doesn't replenish fast enough to even try blocking, much less parrying it.

    Yet me, my friend, all the bots, and anyone whos any ammount of good at this game can easily block and parry a block-attack after light attack with 100% precision, and it even works against heavy attacks, but not always.

    Altho I have noticed that bots block this way more after the last patch

    So you say, you want to provide any evidence of that being the case? A simple clip is enough.

    Either you're implying people who play 4v4 is generally better or that the connection supposedly is so bad, attacks don't work as intended.
