Is there supposed to be a free Guard Break after a successful block? | Forums

[ChampionRuby50g]

Many times while playing against a turtle after every light attack they block the recovery time for my Valkyrie is so large they get a free guard break. Tested this with my friends and every light attack blocked there was a free guard break as well for both of us, and having played this game long enough I know my timing isn't off. Any suggestions?

Yes .... it is intendet, same happens after Kensei swift attack - they want this to stop those character spamming their lights ....

Thanks for clearing it up. I can understand the intention behind it to stop light attack spam, but making it a free guardbreak without any chance of breaking it another reason why the turtle meta is so strong. It should at least give us a chance to guardbreak it instead of punishing us for attacking.

Guardbreaks should be counterable every time, I have no idea why they are uncounterable at all sometimes, they are much to strong to get even more advantages. not to mention that you can interupt Attacks with the GUARDbreak ...
