Well since a couple of patches it has gotten ridiculous. I can't get a feeling for the cgb mechanic anymore. Even if I'm pretty perfect against a bot it nearly never works in multiplayer. On top of that some players seem to have gotten to a level to absolutely nail CGB every time which makes me lose nearly every duel (even suspected them cheating). And I never experienced that in a fight a couple of patches ago. And yes there already were good players around at that time.
So for me the competitive main meat is basically if a player has the feeling to press X at the right time or not. This is pretty frustraiting, ridiculous and ruins the game for me.
There's no real tutorial that tells you when to press the GB-button while in a fight or when you get snatched by a Cent, PK and so on.
Really, if you want to give players a real chance and not just those who get it right by intuition, add a tutorial the really trains you.
On the other hand, GB from dash is going to be a problem... Pressing A then lifting over the stick and pressing it... Not quick when reaction is calculated in milliseconds.Originally Posted by RoosterIlluzion Go to original post
I use toggle lock, so I can't wait til I can assign GB to L2 and target lock to X.
It's very easy really. You just press X as the oppenents hand/weapon makes contact with you to counter it. Do it a fraction of a second earlier in online games to account for slight lag.
Also, have you learned the scenarios in which guard break CAN'T be countered?
I.E.:
- If you were parried.
- If you are guard broken mid dodge.
- If you were guard broken during your heavy attack startup.
- If you miss. your attack.
- If conqueror blocks your heavy attack (I think it's only Conq, can't confirm).
In these instances it is IMPOSSIBLE to counter guard break. There may be a few more instances, but I can't remember them off the top of my head.
Also, yes it really sucks that the tutorial is so vague but I hope this helps someone!
I think you just need to get used to it. Its a bit tougher at times but each characters gb feels a bit different, such as the ranged GB from the shinobi. I usually hit this early when other gb would usually work. just keep practicing them with each class. i think the new bot feature coming out soon will be very helpful, basically u can have the bot do what u want him to do and just practice your timings over and over.
This list right here is why I hate GB. The tutorial couldn't be bothered to have a popup saying GB is guaranteed under certain instances, and it's going to take me agesOriginally Posted by Paladin_Evans Go to original post
to unlearn all the bad habits I've got that essentially mean I'm eating every GB that connects.![]()
