Feral Burst Counter Bug?

[yo jimbo]

As someone with 700+ hours on PS4, I noticed that the feral burst counter sometimes just doesn't work on PC. Mainly it's the rokurokubi that I can't counter at all.

I know that my timing is right because if I mistimed it, I would take health or ki damage. But on the PC version, nothing happens other than an impact noise. I also use Nekomata who has extended burst counter window.

I am playing on the 120 FPS setting without DLSS. I've heard that playing above 60 FPS causes issues.

Just wondering if anyone else has this issue.

That snake head dude as someone who only uses feral is beyond hard to counter. You need to actually hit the damn face. Isn't easy at all. One time .. I was able to counter the single hit face attack while I ported at the middle of it's neck.

Nah I just spam odachi hits against them or using a headshot<grapple and thats it. We don't need to counter everything.

We don't need to counter everything, but when it works on console, it's kind of annoying when it doesn't work on PC

Are you playing in 120fps mode? Apparently it's bugged in 120fps mode. There are also several bosses and some other game mechanics that are currently broken in 120fps mode. it works in 60fps mode.

Yeah thats something I can't comment. Dunno the console version. Just saying that I also have trouble countering some yokai. I'm not sure if it's a bug because when you back of and wait for it.. it works. It just isnt worth it when you could just dodge.

keep in mind that 120FPS options is broken and the Feral Burst Counter only works when "countering" directly forward. Also the counter ONLY triggers when the enemy hits your AFTERIMAGE and not your actual character. You need to be closer than you think in most cases.

I've never had a problem countering them with Feral, but I'm playing with 60 fps lock.

I have zero trouble countering every other enemy. I'm certain that rokurokubi and a couple others are bugged (on 120fps at least).

The afterimage of the feral counter has to connect to the attack. That's how the counter works and the reason it is hard to hit. If you are just running into the enemy, then it normally doesn't work, if you after image the attack, it works every time.

It just does not work lol.

It's a minor inconvenience though. I don't even care if they fix it or not. Just really curious as to why it wasn't working
