Please help me. Coming from a rep 40 on Xbone. What is gb punishable for these two rather strong characters? I haven't gotten a single gb after immediately dodging an unblockable.
A small back story. I'm a player that will get my *** kicked until I can adapt with no complaint. I've basically been playing this game nonstop since it came out. I'm aware that these characters came out recently and I have patience. I would like to know if gb after these unblockables are even possible? If so please leave a reply.
To conclude, I would love to have a nice discussion here, considering I can't play these two fellows yet and I'm sure others can not as well. Without experience playing as them it's hard for me to wrap my brain around their movesets. Just would like to know if anyone has put time into these characters enough to know the ins and outs but maybe I'll have to wait a few more days.
P. S. Hate to start a rant here but if the unblockables are truly unpunishable by a gb then I assume that at the most you'll probably get a light from most characters. If that's the case then I'm going to have a real tough time playing any character without an "unpunishable" unblockable as well. Real bummer in my opinion. Hopefully ubi has these new heroes under a tight watch.
A passionate player.
Cheers.

Cent has 3 unblockables. The jab. the kick. and a fully charged heavy that's coming out in a combo.
When you can get out of his combo and with what depends on your hero. If you are kensei or raider you can dodge the kick and get a GB regardless if he throws a heavy after his whiffed kick or not. Then if you are a character with a bash you can dodge it and bash with your own if it's got hyper armor. Or if you have a dash attack the dash attack trumps his heavy and lands first.
The jab can only be dodged if a prior hit didn't land on you. So if you blocked his heavy he can still jab. but you can dash away from it. Far as I know though you can't really punish that. unless you're quick on reflexes with a fast attack. But I haven't tested.
Lastly you have a charged heavy from a combo. You can parry that. even if you were previously kicked. (can't crushing counter it though.) if you dodge a normal fully charged heavy that's not unblockable you get a gb on any hero.
Shinobi has only one unblockable from memory which is his kick. it's got super armor so it can't be interrupted once thrown. How you handle it is very class specific. you can dash attack on it for instance. Some of the unblockable bashes can be used after you dodge to punish the shinobi. though the general rule of thumb is it's neigh impossible to "punish." Your better off dodging and punishing whatever he throws after.
Dodge when you see him disappear in smoke. Not before. Not after. at that point he'll do one of 2 things. Attack or GB. the GB is techable 100% if you dodged the kick. the attack punish would be easy if he goes for a heavy. just parry. light light spam is a big harder to deal with though.
Oh. I forgot shinobi's "tackle" You can just back dash to avoid it. But the timing is tight. Try to start your dash just a bit before shinobi starts sliding. If you're sloppy about it you'll still get hit and take a lil stam damage but no guarentee actual damage and no knockdown.
