Warden Crushing Counterstrike | Forums

I just wanted to post something I noticed and see if anyone else in the community has experienced the same issue. In the description on the left side of the Wardens moveset in the area marked "Light Attack Combo" the second sentence states that the second top light attack is guaranteed after crushing counter strike hits. This is not true.... I tested this in the arena for like five minutes straight. I sat there throwing nothing but crushing counter strike into a top light and countless times after my crushing counter strike landed the second top light was blocked or parried. Not sure if I may be doing something wrong but crushing counter strike is a pretty basic, straight forward move. Press up on the right stick and use light attack!

Well, I've tested it several minutes in the Training area and it is guaranteed. Tested it on a Orochi Bot who does nothing but attacking me and everytime he attacked me with a Top heavy or light, my Crushing Counterstrike hits, the top light afterwards hits guaranteed.
I had to do the settings of the Bot to attacking me with light and heavy attacks and block or parry my attacks and it worked everytime for me.
Don't know if you're making something wrong or not, the crushing counterstrike can only be done when you're getting attacked

Crushing counter is basically a parry with light attack. It only works if you're being attacked with a top attack. Just parry a top attack with the light attack button instead of the heavy attack button and follow it up immediately with another top light and it will hit. The timing on it is the same as double side lights and the hit is guaranteed. It's worth noting that crushing counter is a starter and you can chain into it with another light, an unblockable top heavy finisher, or another light followed by the unblockable top heavy finisher.

makes sense. I had no clue that it was used like a parry lol. I was just trying to activate it like it was a regular attack lol! thanks guys!!!
