how to counter guard breaks

[Only_war]

i got to the level where evryone in duel can do that all the times, like a machine but it never fails, is it that easy? i cant do it, i tried to do it at every different millisecond but cant guess whats the right one.
other interesting point is how i win sometimes being unable to parry quicks and counter guard breaks fighting like a total maniacal.

Counter GB is easy, just practice. About winning while unable to parry and counter GB, you can thank Ubisoft for giving assassins and a few other heroes lots of supersonic spammable attacks, allowing "fighting like a total maniacal" as viable strategy...

i do it with centurion

press the gb button after you hear the gb sound. you´ll need a bit of practice but after its in your muscle memory its easy

and by maniacal fighting i dont mean spamming lights, but pure spacing timing and reflexes and always initiating. still better than those venerated pros that are mere turtles hitting only safe combos

There are instances where you can't counter guardbreak, most noticeably after dodges and heavies. I think that the centurion kick is also one of those moves that you can't counter gb.

There's a youtuber called freeze that makes videos about like the math of For Honor.
I'll link to one of his videos (watch the first few minutes).

As soon as you see the enemy start to open up his hands to gb you start rapidly clicking middle mouse.

the timing is insanely strict...lots of times i'm literally mashing guard break the second before my opponent goes for it and i'm still not getting a guard break

i consider my reflexes to be pretty sharp and i'm pressing the gb button automatically by muscle memory every time my opponent does it and it's still not good enough...

i fail to gb like 3 times out of 5 and god knows i'm pressing that button as fast as it's humanly possible to react to something.... only time i can easily break grabs is when i know my opponent is gonna do it before he does it.... but on pure reaction it's just not working.. i'm like a milisecond too slow or something

Counter guard breaking is the easiest thing in the game

It takes a lot of practice in pvp environments. Play duels, of course, but you just gotta keep trying to land that middle mouse press right when they begin a guard break. You will learn to recognize it, and pull it off in no time. I remember exactly being in your position.

I play keyboard and mouse and for whatever reason counter guard break NEVER works. Tried even switching keys, no success. Works alright in training, but in multipler never executes. Don't even bother with it now, usually just dodge or light attack spam it.

People who complain about guard break being too hard to counter either have really bad reflexes or simply haven't learned it's timing yet. After a while, you'll naturally build muscle-memory against GBs. It becomes the easiest thing in the game after a while.
It's important to note, however, that if you miss a heavy, or dodge, and get GBed, it will be impossible to escape.

my problem is timing ( guarding attack , some dodge , trying to counter enemy attack ( play as orochi )
