    Guaranteed guardbreaks

    Will for honor ever reach a point with no guaranteed guardbreaks? I sure hope so. Tell me why it’s a bad idea if you disagree

    I don't understand how guaranteed guard breaks are a bad thing. If the enemy gets a guaranteed guard break it means they outplayed or outsmarted you in some way.

    It just makes some combos almost unstoppable for a lot of damage. If you try to parry an oppenent’s feint into guardbreak, and catch yourself doing so and cancel the attack. The guardbreak can’t be countered. Same if you try to dodge. It just seems cheesy to me and leads to a lot of frustration

    If you cancel your attack you can counter gb, and dont try to parry EVERY attack otherwise people will feint it you have to be smart. guard breaks are also the only counter to dodging I'm sure you wouldn't like it if your opponent dodges every attack and cant be countered.

    There’s a fragment of time you cannot counter guardbreak. It’s the same with dodging. It’s a balancing mechanic in the game, but I think it’s the wrong move

    It depends, guaranteed gb from parry attempt they are fine, guaranteed gb because your light got blocked agaisnt a ganks?, absoluty not, they need to make more consistent recoveries from all characters where there are ones like JJ that can't be gb but others like WL can be gb fro their finishers
