How to perform CB's SAED with one hit?

[76561198055083273]

I saw a video where this dude just went straight to the SAED after getting full phials but it looked like he didn't do anything before performing the SAED. It was just getting full phials then doing nothing for a few seconds and then SAED.

You can SAED directly in axe form with full phials.
You can also do if it after the shield poke move, or after a guard point.
It might be one of those

I could only imagine it being a guard point > SAED.

I also remember about a gfaqs thread where people discussed a strange bug that lets you skip the first moves or something like that months ago.

00:30. And also at 00:43, what moves did he do before going into SAED? Seems like he did it really fast. I played the CB like 3 hunts so I am not familiar with the weapon.

Is using the block button without doing anything else before that considered a guard point?

In 0:43 he did the shield attack you do by pressing light+heavy in sword and shield form. If you press Light+Heavy after that you go straight into the attack.

I actually do not know what he did in 0:30. Perhaps you can go into that attack right after blocking.

^dat was a guard point.

You can chain it after a guard if you dont get knocked back far enough. Otherwise you need the guard skill.
Guard points refer to moves that have your shield in front of you in the animation.
Examples are the slide attack, the 1st second you switch to axe mode, the 3rd chain of the Triangle combo in sword, etc

At the 30 second mark, that is a guard point performed by holding block, and pressing light attack. The moment you start that animation is a guard point that is fairly easy to pull off, so it can be used to squeeze a SAED in a tighter opportunity.

No. I can't formulate what is guard point but it certainly isn't regular guard move

No. Morph from Sword to Axe has Guard Point, the timing is tight, more than LS Foresight Slash, but is the best way to use CB.

He did a guardpoint while switching into axe mode.
Usually - you can SAED at any point while in axe mode without any preparatory moves(shield bash in sword mode), dunno how it works exactly but .. it just works.
