Inconsistencies with feint into GB | Forums

[Loptr.]

So we have been talking and gathering data over at https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitive...feint_into_gb/ and found that if you heavy -> feint -> GB as certain characters vs certain characters (easiest to replicate is Zerker vs Conq or Kensei "always hits his face", or Warden vs Conq or Kensei "always gets the GB") you get different results.

The theory is that if you do the feint into GB and they try to parry your heavy you should get a free GB since you cancel their parry attempt, but it is not always so, and the results are very inconsitent, I tried it for hours vs AI and vs a friend mostly playing as Zerker and vs all other characters, some it worked fine on and some I got really mixed resullts and some I never got the GB on at all.

Is this only a lag issue even vs AI and a friend with 250/250 internet (just as me) or is there something else going on here?

Edit: Someone on reddit found that if the character that parries presses BACK at the same time he parries then the feint GB character will just bounce off when he tries to GB and will then get hit by the "parry" heavy, I have not tried this myself

P.s I am not looking for a discussion here since we already have a good one going on the reddit page I linked above, but more just get the message to the devs if possible.

I never understood why there are GB vulnerability frames at heavy start up, they should be during feint, I feel like the only reason this mechanic exists the way it does is cause of PK's direct cancel into GB
