Is there any point at training to be good at defense anymore?

All i see is allways new unreactable atk aad to.the game

Bash

Allways faster light atk and garantee light after light lol what a joke

And on the other hand... longuest recovery after canceling attack so less time to parry...

So people now just be super aggressive spamming everywhere without thinking

If you're on Xbox One or PS4 (or a cheap PC for that matter), that's your problem.

If you're on a next gen or good PC, then you gotta practice more.

I can defend and parry just fine, but I'm also now playing on next gen with 60fps and what may as well be zero input lag.

Im still on ps4.. but i feel like there is really a HUGE difference in the parry window


Is it smaller then before ?

I went in training mod against bot spamming light to me...

And it as NEVER been a problem to parry light on reaction a couple of month ago. . Now i just redownload it but i know i didn't get that slow .. i still got my reflex... the game as changed a lot a can tell it

Well the CCU was released which hides the first 100ms of all inputs. Did you not know that?

[Maxime_Qc-]

No!

What does ccu means?

And what's the point of making light unreactable?

The main point was to be not light parried to death every time you try to be offensive. 500ms lights were extremely reactable.

But... how do you expect me to counter light spammer then?

Ever heard of this cool thing called frame advantage, it allows you to start your offensive if the opponent used a light attack on you at the end of there combo.

Or you know blocking, parrying lights turned in to more of a read thing but with decent reaction blocking lights ain’t a problem.

you will need to read your opponent now, pure reaction was leading to stare contests.

By getting good.
