How do you beat Nobushi's?!

[Arkardu]

I just can't get close to them. If I feint, they hit me anyway since their attacks are so fast. And their attacks are so fast, so parrying is incredibly hard as well. I feel like, if I don't a hero with sideways dash attack like Peacekeeper, I can't get hit on them.

What the hell do you do?!

Ok tell us what heroes you play.

What I usually do is block nobushi lights when I don’t feel like parrying and force out them to do a kick. Once that’s done dodge and immediately prepare for the light she’s gonna throw at you. Parry the light as it’s obvious and proceed to punish. Do this again and go for the GB immediately as nobushi won’t throw the light thinking she’ll outsmart you and punish her. Rinse and repeat.

Nobushi can be a pain for new players, even though her moves aren't too fast she can (Stamina permitting) perform a nice flurry of attacks.

Once you learn her moveset and can parry lights/500ms attacks she becomes pretty easy to deal with, but here are some general tips;

-She's able to cancel her dodge attack recovery with another dodge, so if she's just performed one I wouldn't try to smack her as she will most likely smack you first.

-She can chain into her kick from any heavy/light but it's her only unblockable, so if you see orange dodge for an easy punish.

-She can feint lights/heavies into Hidden Stance, where she can follow up with another light/heavy or a kick. Keep in mind if she throws a heavy out of Hidden Stance and you block it she will get a free kick.

On some heroes and with lag, which is very likely with no lag comp, you don't. She has 300ms lights that go through your block. And her hidden stance will often force you to whiff an attack, leaving you open.

No.

I´m not sure if it is lag or some sort of bug, but Nobushi recovery seems to be very very strange.

Depends on the connection

Some games it never lets me dodge the nobushi kick even on pre inputs but others it’s easy to dodge

Pre inputs? You shouldn't dodge it on prediction, due to how well it can be delayed and the tracking it get's.

If you read what I said that’s not what I was saying I can dodge it on prediction but what I said was even with a little lag the kick because undodgeable even on a reaction or pre inputs the dodge just never comes out

Yeah what does pre input mean...

You'll get the timing soon enough, her attacks are really easy to parry. I'm rep 4 overall, so beguinner-ish level, and I can parry her first lights 100% of the time.
What you have to look for against Nobushi is her side dodge attacks, focus on blocking / parrying them, she can chain the heavy dodge attack when blocked but not the light. Also, her offense drains a lot of her stamina, always keep an eye on her stam bar.
Finally, dodge the kick into guard break for an easy high damage punish.
