So i have this issue when fighting Highlander. When he does the kick i dodge, then he folows it up with the grab, and when i try to doge that my character does the dodge animation but stays in the same place so he always catches me. I've had this with almost every Highlander I've played against.

You have to read that the kick is gong to be feinted into a grab and dodge later to avoid the grab.
Alternatives are throwing a light attack immediately upon seeing the kick starting up, you can trade with the kick which works out in your favor because he won't be able to follow up with an attack, you dealt damage, and you got him out of offensive stance.
The safest way to go is to do a back dodge on reaction to the kick and then convert it into a roll by back dodging again if you see it is feinted into the grab. Of course this means 0 chance of you to punish it.

Side dodge and look for the follow up. If you see the grab starting, roll out. If not, you can get a light attack in as a punish. You can't GB a missed kick unless you dodge extremely early or on prediction. A dodged Caber Toss is a confirmed GB, on the other hand.
If you're OOS... you have to guess. I recommend watching your stamina with heightened attention when playing against HL, as he can 3-shot you.

again a good example of what is wrong in FH.Originally Posted by ABERRANT_ZA Go to original post
easy move big reward, 90% of highlanders can not do anything else, just like wardens shoulder bash, conq shield bash, glad zone, etc.
and that's exactly what the incompetent devs do not understand.
