You posted this for me when I was having a lot of trouble figuring it out. Helped a lot, I don't struggle with it much anymore.Originally Posted by Vakris_One Go to original post
Caber Toss should not guarantee a heavy since it can only be countered by interrupting with a light. That light is really risky since a kick gives a heavy. Why don’t HLs spam this all the time? Do they fear the GB with a smaller health pool? I would think the odds would be in their favor. I’m a console player. I’m no expert so be nice.
Mate did u even read my post abowe? Or look at the video on top? Or u just type first what u get to ur mind?Originally Posted by Mirage6201 Go to original post
Grab can be countered by dodge, backward light, dodge attack. Or just dont let highlander to off stance... he have no defence on it! Did u think its low options to awoid it?
Cool man, glad to hear it helped you out. I'm still training myself to get better at dodging it. My brain automatically screams "DODGE!" when I see the kick and I have to force myself to wait a bit to see if he goes for the grab before commiting to a dodge. It's challenging but with that video as my goal I know I'll improve my results eventually.Originally Posted by Baggin_ Go to original post
On the other side of the coin when playing as Highlander it's helped me to not freeze up when I see someone can dodge my Caber Toss. I know how they're reading me and so I become more devious about slipping Caber Toss in. Like I know they wait for the kick as a tell tale sign so I let the kick fly and see how they react and I also pull off a Caber Toss from a soft canelled OF heavy.
Think about Conq, Lawbro, Nobushi, and Warden. Even if you manage to dodge out of it every now and then, you will usually get hit by it. But it's not that bad because they only guarantee a light attack which gives maybe 10-15 damage. However, if you happen to get hit by this move which is just as fast and can also use a grab to grab you through attacks, now you get hit for 3-4x the damage (40 damage guaranteed after kick/grab, far more with gear stats on)
Can you dodge it? Yes
Can you manage to dodge every single kick/grab mixup? No, definitely not, and you will often die to that bs that shouldn't even be there. You're literally doing Shugoki damage, but it's all guaranteed on bash and at a much faster rate than Shugboi
Ok again... Every hero u mention can do everything from natural stance and emediately. Conq and warden can even feint this. Lawbringer can spam shove after every blocked and get guaranteed light. But highlander have NO DEFENCE in offensive stance... what u want for more risk? Probably he should get like 5 damage per second like bleeding from exhusting to be in offensive stance?Originally Posted by KotoKuraken Go to original post
Oh my god... Finaly u see highlander ingame and everyone have biiiiiig problem with him...
And if i can say sometlihg like u... Can u dodge it? Yes. Can u backward light it? Yes. Can u dodge attack it? Yes. Can u dont let highlander to off stance? Yes... rly mate... what u want? If u give him only light after kick or grab, what he can do to do some normal damage? His 1 SECOND DELAY heavy attack?
