But god forbid I faint into gb against Centurion or Gladiator, their heavies are just going to go through.

Don't feint to GB against those classes. Feint to parry. Especially with Centurion, their feint window is tiny, so it can be hard for them to cancel a parry attempt.

I am just saying that it is pretty dumb that some heavies can't get gb'en at the start while other heavies can get gb'en in the middle of the animation.

It's a function of speed. Attacks can only be GB-interrupted during their start-up, and faster attacks have faster start-up. You can even GB-interrupt light attacks (which is why it's so easy to GB-interrupt Swift Strike from Kensei).

Yeah I stopped trying to feint into gb with LB permenantly. It seemed to never work for me.

No heavy should be that fast expecially for gladiator he already has a crap ton going for him. A CRAP TON.

Works against Warden, Berserker, Shugoki, Nobushi, Lawbringers, Raider, Highlander, Kensei and Valkyrie

Anyone else don't even bother trying.

It's not just a function of speed, lights>GB always.

Also, almost any animation other than recovery animations or heavy startups seem to prevent GBs (RGB/shinobi) as well.


As for feinting with LB, only really useful if they are already OOS. Otherwise they'll just interrupt you instead, so unless you are fishing for parries...

Not so. You can get GB'd out of a light attack during the startup; it's just that almost all light attacks have a startup of, I think, only 100ms, so when it happens it's basically just bad luck.

Now think what Highlander players feel, when someone gb even their lights.

Hmm,

I've had people actually GB me before I started a light and the light prevented the GB. So, either what you are saying is not true or something else is afoot.

I know on the PTS they were going to change it, both lights and heavies, so that there was a 100ms window. A change I don't think should be implemented, I think it should be a function of speed...
