Clash assault timing

[Buttlet]

I like that you can mix up blockstrings with a random clash assault, and would love if I could optimize the damage. It seems that by waiting to press A until the character is at the top of their bounce can net me an excellent, but about when should the button be pressed for a marvelous?

Been looking for this answer as well. From my experience I seem to have the most luck pressing it just before it goes off.
I press C also. Not sure if it matters or not.

I'm pretty sure any attack button works.

Yeah I think you're right. On the demonstration I think I noticed them pressing A.

Anyhow, I'm not sure it actually explains the timing for a marvelous. Then again, I only played the clash assault tactic thing once or twice.

Nope, it does not, if anything, it might mislead you on the timing. As the way it was worded made me think the timing was when the opponent began to go up. The timing is about when they reach the max height, right before falling. It’s also worth noting that when the circle appears on screen is about when you want to press the button also.

I'll give that a try. Having a visual marker like the opponent going at max height would make it easier to practice. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the tip!

Seems to be just at the time when the "Clash" appear, and it's a visual cue line going through it. So when it just makes a vertical line, you should just have pressed the button, with the help of visual and audio 'the sound of the pling'

Spent quite some time in the tactical mission to get e hang of it. Only to get confused again when doing the same mission solo, since the opponent there is Tager, so going with arc/height of char just seemed like a trick to confuse.

Managed those missions with a few chars, still not 100% to get it right even in missions, a lot less so online.

But those missions are the best way to practice it, as it's a horrible grind to get 3x3 of them right (actually 2x3 is enough to pass the mission, and it goes on time, not attempts)
