Dodging and its nonsense | Forums

Fix it, i mean, this is ridiculous, and has gotten worse then ever. All you have to do to win a fight, is be a coward, and dodge, dodge dodge dodge dodge dodge. Gunna guard break? dodge, gunna unblock-able hit, dodge, going to grab, dodge, going to attack light, dodge, going to attack heavy, dodge. Teh ai are some of the worst of this, but i see players do this to. This makes NO SENSE. How is it, swinging my weapon drains my stamina, but dodging doesn't! your moving your arms, weapons, armor, and the rest of you, so what the freaking heck? Fix the stupid dodge, as its just ******ed that you can dodge infinitely and extremely unbalanced and unfair, because no, there is NOT a counter to this. you can always dodge away from blows, sure if you make a mistake you might take a hit, but as the AI prove, and plenty of people in duel matches, you can dodge infinity, without ever having to worry about stamina, or taking damage. its a broken system. also, for the morons out there, i said, dodge, not dodge roll. Those are two different things.

There is a counter to dodging. It's called Guard Break. In case you didn't know, when a hero dodges they have recovery frames, in which they can't counter GB. Learn something new everyday.

Fairly certain that in the next patch or they plan to announce it soon that dodging will halt stamina regen for a period of time.
But hey, I guess you want more people to parry your unblockables and get more damage on you, or maybe you want them to just sit there and eat it instead of fighting to win.

oh good, so you are a ****. i was starting to think it was me. And ,moron, i know thats suppose to work, but guess what people do when they finish their dodge? they dodge again! gasp! and they keep going! gasp! and then they KEEP going gasp! I know thats how yoru suppose to do it, but its not working. they dodge, and i go into a gaurd grab/break and they just dodge again. and good to know they are going to implement a system to change it. its not the best, but will help with them being able to dodge while out of stamina etc.

There's a nice variety of tactics you can use.

Feint a heavy, then smack them with a light while they recover. Dodge with them, or away from them, forcing them to take initiative. Feint your attacks to try and guide them into a corner.
Use a zone attack to hit them. Fake a retreat.

There's no rule stating that enemies have to stand still and take your attacks, just as there's no rule saying you have to stand still and watch them dodge.

As just mentioned, there are so many ways to counter it. I'm sorry if I'm coming across as rough but I just spent 12 hours on a roof under the brutal Aussie sun replacing roof sheets and installing gutters.
