I dodge her kick on a read and I get hit mid dodge. I dodge left, I get hit, I dodge right and she does this weird thing where she spins on her foot and hits me. It ain't latency cause I play with ping under 50 so what is happening? Does she have like an arch on her kick? Are you supposed to dodge in the direction opposite to her leg or what? I'm confused
Leran how to counter HitokrirOriginally Posted by TOCKSYK Go to original post
Sorry if my answer contains obvious information!
Hitokiri can do 4 things in the kick mixups:
1. They can press guardbreak, which results in the kick and a guaranteed heavy.
2. They can feint the kick.
3. They can hold the guardbreak button, which alters a kick into a later move: a sweep that hits you to the ground (but despite being the charged option, this is the weaker, it only gives a light, and the recovery is very long, you can always get a guardbreak).
4. They can feint the sweep.
It's basically like a charged shoulderbash: if you dodge the uncharged version, the charged hits, so you have to make a read. You can dodge the kick, you can wait and dodge later on the sweep's timing, you can expect a guardbreak and light (which will beat guardbreaks, but the kick will hit in time, and since the sweep has armor, it is a trade if she sweeps). There is no universal way to beat it, but the hitokiri suffers a free guardbreak if either option misses, so it's risky on her part too.
Ok thank you , i want to know too 👌if i just back step do i dodge everything and only can get guardbreak or the sweep or kick can touch me ?Originally Posted by Goat_of_Vermund Go to original post
Ok thank you , need to be focused and react fast = P thanks for answers .Originally Posted by AmonDarkGod Go to original post
Actually no. If you throw a guard break on orange expecting them to feint into a GB you negate the mix up. And if you have a quick bash you can also negate the mix up.Originally Posted by KotoKuraken Go to original post
edit: for the gb thing it has to be on block stun. if you got hit with her opening heavy because she traded into you it doesn't work.
