    What is the dodge timing for highlander kick->caber toss

    Title,

    dodge attack works like half the time if used at some point in time before the kick timing. Cant really pinpoint anything to locate it precisely. Any tells for the exact timing?

    Light attacking on reaction doesnt work because the pure kick is faster and beats the light (depending on character but whatever, pk zone might beat it , didnt try that).

    edit: there is a timing somewhere before kick when you can dodge attack and cover both options (kick and caber toss) because the kick gets dodged and you hit your dodge attack before caber toss connects. Thats the timing im looking for.

    edit2: i think i figured it out so whatever... ./closed, took forever since you cant make the highlander bot use kick->caber toss repeatedly >_>

    The dodge timing for caber toss is slightly after the kick would've hit you.
    But you can always roll away

    When they figure out the timing of kick into caber toss or they roll away start adding in a new mix up.

    Feint offensive, into celtic curse to catch roll away.

    Feint offense, into offense kick to catch fast dodge attacks like Valkyrie and to get opponents used to seeing raw offensive heavy thinking they can go for parry.

    ^^^That beats people that try and avoid the kick into caber toss altogether.

    Then there's another unique timing to avoid being punished by throwing out a raw Offensive heavy kick, altogether mainly against Centurion. But I'm taking that strategy to the grave lol.
