Guard break | Forums

[SpartanO331]

Why can’t I guard break when opponent is swinging? When I do a guard break, it acts as though he countered and keeps on going through animation of the initial swing. Please help or explain.

If the opponent is attacking you cant GB them (Ive manged to do it a few times but it was in the very first ms of their attack)
Use GB when they are not attacking or after a block/perry (free GB)
But be careful with the GB after block because they might have started a chain and you will GB them while they are attacking (which will not work)
If you are a LB you can block -> shove -> GB (they won't be able to start a new attack so fast)
