    Afraid to swing

    I just dont want to swing anymore.

    My opponent stands in front of me patiently, I know hes waiting to parry, all I can do is swing and gamble on him missing it :/

    I wind up headbutting so much but its all I can do to not get parried

    Feint>parry his attempted parry
    Feint>guardbreak
    Feint>light attack a different direction
    regular guardbreak
    Bait him to do specific moves
    then throw in your headbutts to mix it up.

    my strategy is to keep repeatedly feinting (because people got smart and are now feinting parry attempts so they can parry or block whatever followup you've got) until i nearly run out of stamina

    then i jump back and play keepaway while i recover stam, so i can do it again

    i repeat this process until im sure my opponent has fallen asleep at the keyboard

    it is only then i attack

    Don't worry after all the crying from the community you'll just have to touch an opponent and they will drop dead at your feet. I mean that's what all these whiners are headed towards. Ledges are OP, parrying is OP, dodging is OP, blocking is OP, feats are OP, etc.....etc....ad nauseam. The one thing For Honor did right is gathering all the whiney ******s together on one game.

    that's probably because people like me spend more time actually holding discussions and less time mindlessly insulting other posters

    you only destroy your own credibility by ignoring points and throwing out a "you're bad"-- you're what, 30? 40? you should know better

    besides, i'm pretty sure ubi bases their decisions more on what objective data they're able to collect from gameplay than these forums
