Keep Failing first Standoff

[Phase27]

It doesnt matter if I use mouse or controller the moment it tells me to I hold the button but nothing happens and I get sliced and have to reload. I tried to set "toggle Button holds" to on (https://www.reddit.com/r/ghostoftsushima/comments/kzcqa8/standoff_issue_sometimes_triangle_does_nothing/), it helped the first time but I died due to skill issue, after that it kept doing nothing again.
It seems this issue has been going on since the original launch of the game on the playstation and sony didn't bother to fix this...

EDIT:
After restarting the game way to many times and keep toggling that one setting on and off... it worked.

you need to hold the button then release it when the opponent strikes, it literally tells you this

I was having the same problem but toggling the button holds worked for me (I won on my first try), thanks for posting the link

I know, Holding the button and releasing it does nothing. The MC just stands there doing nothing when I hold the button instead of readying the strike

On the second standoff not even the toggle option works anymore I just test it

[Angelus]

I tried pretty much everything that's possible and it always ends with my character getting hit and losing the standoff. It's bugged.

Congrats! Your first insightful and extremely helpful comment is duly noted. If you have the time, look up the definition of confirmation bias...



Now back to the program:

+1 for having issues with standoff not working. Have closed the game completely, restarted checkpoints, loaded a manual save, went outside touched some grass. So far 0/6 times trying to complete first standoff.

Same issue we need to bump this it’s a game breaking bug

[psyconius Cthulhu]

Bump. It has happened to me twice. I am now mindful to swing once to have my weapon out and it hasn't bugged doing that so far but that may just luck. But this is definitely an irritating issue.
