Nobushi Hidden Stance Indicator Glitch | Forums

This is on a level 3 bot Nobushi and happens whenever a different guard is used to attack after a hidden stance.

That's called the "Flicker". Orochi has it, Warden has it, Peacekeeper has it, I'm pretty sure every class does but Nobushi, it only works if you're in hidden stance. The last guard direction you're in, if you attack in another direction the game inside has to register "oh, no, it's not this way it's the other way". And it happens too fast for the game to recognize it. Try facing Nobushi with fight UI off for a bit, you'll start to read her body movements instead of depending on a guard indicator. Better yet, do the Campaign on Realistic. It'll help a bunch. I'm guilty of being told "hey you're flickering, do you know you are?" and i said "if i am, i'm truly sorry". end of story to that. But other than that, Hidden Stance is RARELY used by players because of the risk it entails. The only times you'll encounter it is in vs AI battles.

Actually people over certain skill level HS as a offensive soft-feint tool, rather than like seen in the vid.

I thought that zone flicker was already dealt with since season 2 started? Thr bot on the video isn't doing any zone attack.

Zone flicker is done an entirely different way and the information given out is usually wrong. And the light flicker which I think you're mentioning is sort of the same thing as GB flicker where's there's so many inputs so fast the game gets confused. ^And to agree with a guy above, hidden stance soft feint is sometimes the only way to break some turtles.
