Nobushi Light Attack Combo Problem | Forums

[ODP.]

"Third chained Light Attack is guaranteed if the second one hits the targets."

This seems simple enough but i have seen the 3rd attack blocked more and more often, And its not just one class or even the same side of the attack. The 2nd attack hits on the right and the 3rd goes to the top, top is blocked. Not sure whats going on or if other people have been experiencing the same problem, but it is getting really frustrating. Especially when you start with HS and the whole potential combo is ruined by a block that isn't supposed to happen. That is a really expensive light attack.

Are you sure you aren't accidentally using Viper's Retreat for the third attack? Take no offense.

no offense taken...its not vipers retreat for sure...and its not only in the example i used it can be 2nd attack on right 3rd attack on right and gets blocked...its strange

Don't change the guard direction for the third strike or it will count as a new combo start, not as the third guaranteed.

its like they are trying to block but i get there first, but since they moved over to block it is actually blocking the 3rd instead...at first i thought it was just lag or server delay but when the 3rd attack was still being blocked after it moved (right to top attack) that is when i really started wondering it something was wrong

changing the direction should not affect the outcome of the combo...and this is new...never happened before

Yea changing the direction during the 2nd to 3rd hit didn't make a difference before. Maybe this last patch introduced a bug.

[ODP.]

no disrespect taken...but i saw correctly...and it kept happening this weekend...its not often...its a low percentage but it does happen

i specifically said it was NOT something that happened often and this post was to see if others were experiencing the same thing or to keep a lookout for it cause it happens fast. If i can figure out how to record it and post it here from my ps4 i will gladly do so.

Next time it happens, immediately hit the "share" button (just left of the touchpad, where the "select" button was on past consoles) to save the recording (PS4 is always recording). Then you can upload to YouTube or your preferred website and link us. I always save recordings when it looks like something dodgy is happening.


Anyhoo, I'm a Nobu main and have yet to experience this outside of games freezing and resyching during a combo, but that's purely a connection issue.
