    Deflection !

    just want everyone who play assassin opinion here ! except the berzerker

    about the deflection !!

    i litteraly practice the deflection since the game came out

    i become the master of the deflection ....

    but now ...everyone have that ****ing stance like the shugoki that they are not getting interrupt when getting hit

    the shugoki have it

    the warlord have it

    the kensei have it

    and now even the berserker have it after 2 hit .... so if i deflect the first hit the second one will touch me anyway !!

    same for all of the character above i get punish for succeeding to deflect ! ...so am i gonna be forced to pratice parry and play full defence like everyone and the deflection as just been send to the tomb so i should just forget that move !... or will they do something for this !?

    As far as I'm aware, the Berserkers deflect GB takes higher priority than an opponents next chain attack, and a GB interrupts hyper armour anyway, so you should definitely be interrupting people. You're sure you're deflecting and not just dodging? If so it might be time to take up parrying, it's easier anyway.

    Deflect has always been "broken" on consoles due to the frame rate and latency. They only happen by lucky accident.

    But I'm sure all the apologists here are gonna respond "get gud" and "get better internet" before admitting this is a product of ****ty netcode.

    by accident lolll ....

    for real .. get good !!

    if i want i kill you only by using only deflection/counter again and agin !! i did it a lot of time !!! ... but now like i said earlier vs berzerker ,kensei warlord ect ... with their stance that is not uninteruptible with a single attack i get hit even after a deflect .. especially vs the berzerker .. if his second attack is a upside heavy i will kill me after a deflect ... i'll post a video about it later just to show you !! it happen to me today ! and i record it ... i deflect like 4 or 5 time in a row and he allways keep hitting while a deflect !

    I don't agree with you there. With the right timing, especially after practicing it, the deflections work perfectly. I'm having a harder time timing them on my big *** 4K screen which has more input lag compared to when i play on my gaming monitor with almost no input lag.
