Dodging and blocking is terrible

[RTRF]

Yeah there pretty much useless you’re going to get hit No matter what, or get the rarest of chances of actually dodging or blocking something

There are some abilities in the skill tree that improve your blocking.
It's all about blocking OR quickstepping. If your opponent is too strong and can break through your blocks, then don't even bother trying to block him. Switch to evading him via quickstep and you'll be good.
There are even abilities in the skill trees that increase your heat for succesfully blocking or evading attacks. It's actually not that difficult and allows you to constantly unleash heat actions.

i agree with you, evading with rush style is super easy

[Perfectly Valid School of Magic]

Agreed. I press dodge/block and Kiryu just stands there like an idiot and loses half his health because he won't respond to button presses

I love this game but I can't advance any further because I just die over and over and over. A challenge is fine but this is just ridiculous

Who needs it when you can just Tiger Drop your opponents?

Dodge is pretty easy when you're in rush style.

and if you already frustated with early boss oh boy wait until you meet the 2nd final boss (i won't mention his name for spoiler reason) and a man called Arase. their boss fight is 10x worse lmao

I didn’t have much issue with dodging/blocking more than I did enemies dodging and then immediately taking advantage of the animation delay to punish, with no way to really hit them without getting stomped or relying on chugging drinks once I hit the mid game. Ended up either playing hyper defensively abusing grabs and countering after the end of their combo or just saying ♥♥♥♥ it and abusing beast power armor (both phases of the goons on the second to last boss and wrecked the final boss since I somehow didn’t have the dragon stance power move to interrupt healing despite having a decent amount on Majima unlocks). Also guns.... ♥♥♥♥ guns....

As for Arase he wasn’t bad once I figured out you just have to cheese him a few hits at a time after dodging.
