What exactly is a 50/50?

[Clor]

Is it a situation where the attacker can do 1 of 2 moves, and the defender needs to guess because they won't have enough time to react once the move starts?
Could someone confirm I've got the definition right, and maybe give an example?
Thanks

you're wrong, 50/50 is the situation when i toss a coin and its either head or tail, its called 50/50 for that reason.

Lawbringers shove. Is he going to poke you or is he going to GB? Are you going to dodge or are you going to CGB? 50/50

lawbringer isn't exactly a 50/50, because you can react based on what he does. If you see the light you still have time to dodge, dodge+block, or deflect. If you don't see the light, you can CGB.

It's a true 50/50, to my understanding, when it's forced, when the only real way to avoid things is to roll away. When it's a literal guessing game.

That depends, of course. For some people, their reaction time might not allow them to "counter" the LB on reaction in that scenario. For them, it really is a 50/50.

i highely doubt that heavy classes can dodge it on reaction. Playing as Warlord i can't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dodge ♥♥♥♥ sometimes even if i see it coming, but when i play berserker - i have a lot more options and dodge-window

True. There is a trick, if you are a bit slower on reaction. Make sure you are blocking in the direction it is coming and even if it hits you, cuz you dodged too late, you will still block it.

They can. It's actually easier for me than a conq shield bash, because you don't have to hit dodge quite as early and because you know it may be coming right after a shove, it's much easier to anticipate.

50/50 is a terminology used in fighting games. It is used when your opponent puts you into a disadvantage with the option for you to get out of that disadvantage based on your guess. If you guess right some fighting games puts you at Neutral, meaning you and your opponent is basically back at "start" some games actulally puts you in frame advantage if you guess right making the 50/50 option a risk in itself. Tekken is a perfect example for this however there are a lot of situations in that game where mindgames is the only way to win, thus 50/50 is a more that viable option. I get why For Honor devs like it but the implementation is very bad. In general you have to "achieve" your 50/50 using Tekken as an example again (Bryan has to carry you to the wall to use his taunt mix up effectively or King has to grab you first to be able to do the multithrow 50/50)
