Greetings all. I want to first and formost say. That with todays update. I have noticed some serious improvements to the game. And I feel the fun. and more importantly. The Honor is returning to For honor. Todays patch and has defiantly fixed some much needed balancing Issues. I have however found Some issues with the use of Guard break. While dueling Some opponents today. Mainly within pvp. Ive noticed that the icon to counter Guard break. Does not always appear when guard break is used. Espicialy when used after Certain attacks. A prime example of this. Is with the orochi. After Dueling these opponents I went into the training mode to practice getting good with blocks and Defense and countering guard break. Having the training session set to orochi vs orochi I set the opponent to his stom rush mix up. And noticed that when canceling the storm rush into the guard break. Sure enough The icon to counter the guard break. Does not appear. giving the opponent a free attack rather then an earned attack. My suggestion to you ubi soft. is to go through and find this exploit before it is taken advantage of. Not just with the Orochi. But with all heroes as well. To make sure the indicator to counter Guard break. no matter how its used is Flashing within the window frame to counter it. Otherwise if the icon does not show up and players are getting a continuous free guard break and free attack. There will be no means but to spam the same attacks into a free guard break without a means of countering it. Therefore getting a gaurenteed attack each time. Guard break no matter how its used. Definatly needs to be counterable. And the icon to Indicate the guard break has been done. needs to be showing weather based off a canceld storm rush. or canceld attack. The counter for it should be there. nd should be showing

It seems the problem with the gaurd break system where the icon just dosent appear after gaurd break is used is still going on. Im honestly asking is 3 days of that not enough? I would have seriously thought it would have been fixed buy now
Have ahd matches all day long at this point buy now and still a broken counter for the gaurd break system with no icon to counter gaurd break showing up regaurdless if I push the command to counter gaurd break or not. Its truly becoming tiresome that this broken system has gone on this long
The Icon Indicating Countering gaurd break has definatly been fixed
Ubi soft and to the devs I definatly want to say that the problem for the icon not showing up has definatly been fixed. I am now and can confirm seeing the icon of the shield to counter gaurd break. So my hats off to you for fixing that problem. However I am still seeing on small slight problem with it. Ive noticed that buy the time the opponent actualy does the gaurd break. The shield will show up when the opponent does the gaurd break. However its almost as if there is no Reaction timeing when pressing the button to counter it. Almost as if it just dosent respond or work. Still giving the opponent a free attack. So while im now seeing the icon accurately. Buy the time one presses the button to gaurd break. Its almost as if its to late on pressing the button. The slight fix for this is. The icon should be showing upon when the animation of the opponent performing the gaurd break actual shows hes grabed his opponent. After the Initial grab has been done. is when the icon to show the counter for it should be displayed. The problem being is that when the icon shows and disappears just as the opponent is grabbing you. It leaves no reactionary timing on the players behalf to counter the gaurd break. As in the moment the gaurd break has started. And the time the opponent grabs you. The icon has shown and disappeared. Agian its very misleading and leaves little to no reaction time for the player.
How Gaurd break should be working
The Suggestion im making to fix this problem. Is that from the time the opponent actualy gaurd breaks. The icon should not show. Until after The opponent has actualy played the animation of the grab. Upon showing the grab and the opponent actualy have grabbed and showed the animation for the grab. is when the icon to counter gaurd break should appear. With the small window frame of timing that its already been given. Essiantly what this will do is. it will delay the icon Showing until the Opponent has actualy grabbed and shown the grab of the player. Thus giving he proper indication of when to Gaurd break and giving the reactionary timing needed. otherwise players will continue to press the counter for gaurd break. And never get a proper counter for the gaurd break. Due to the icon appearing befor the grab has even been done. And the icon Disapearing just as the Opponents animation of performing the gaurd break has played. As stated it should be the reverse of this. Meaning when the animation to perform the gaurd break has performed. And the Opponent is shown holding onto the player. Only then should that small window of the icon to counter gaurd break appear. Agian this will provide a more accurate display of when to counter gaurd break. And give more accurate reactionary timing

Greetings Ubi Today I managed to make and upload a clip that will display what I mean of The Icon to counter gaurd break appearing befor the gaurd break has even been Done. In the following link is personal clip I made over xbox live. Where it shows that The Icon to counter gaurd break Is displaying way earlier then Intended. Providing the means of the free attack. befor ay such reaction time can be given. You will see in the clip that in one case while I was gaurd broken on the dodge. The icon did appear however. It displays much sooner then when the gaurd break is actualy performed. As stated in my Edited Post. The case for countering gaurd break The icon should be displaying the minut after the gaurd break is performed. Not at the start of the gaurd break and as stated does not provide the reactionary timing needed. It should be well the reverse of this. Displaying after the actual gaurd break is done. Thus providing a more adequate means of reactionary timing to counter break. Within this video when the gaurd breaks were performed buy the time I had pressed the button to counter. The Icon was already gone thus leaving me no reactionary timing to counter gaurd break. Agian as it should be a viable means to counter gaurd break This should be made to where the icon displays after the gaurd break is done not befor and not at the start of the gaurd break.
