feinting not working (sometimes)

[Hooplehead]

idk if it's just me or do heavies just not feint for some reason? ive been killed so many times because feinting seems to not want to work properly 24/7.

For me, I basically have to spam feint right after I press heavy for it to work.

Well, characters have different cancel windows on their feints (some have very short, meaning you have to cancel very fast, others you can wait a bit, and it varies from top/side attacks) - what character are you having issues with? I suppose if there is a bit of delay, you´ll have some issues with Zerker (side feints) -Kensei (top heavy feints/zone) - Warden (side feints) - Cent feints.

I just spam "Fient button" to be sure it will works. (But anyway it works not everytime....)

Odd, I've never had an issue with this. Once I've played a few rounds with a character to learn their feint window.

Some sort of delay due to connection, maybe? That is very strange.

Precisely.

The feint windows are different by character. If you're playing Berserker, you have to input the feint almost immediately after the heavy input. If you're playing Shugoki or Lawbringer or throwing Warlord side heavies, you can wait a good while.
