I hate how much slower guardbreaks are when the opponent is exhausted. It always messes up my timing when trying to tech them. Also, Warlords headbutt is way too safe. Ive never punished or been punished when this attack is used.
Well to be fair, if they guard break while exhausted, they can't follow it up with anything as they're too slow.

I rather like this game.

It's weird seeing so many people sleep on Big Oni. Can't even tell you how many folks I've baited into the one-shot backbreaker in critical, it's like no one knows what it does.

Also nothing fresher than smoke bomb. Endless cheese doing smoke bomb into headbutt into grab while their screen is still fucked lol

So does that mean for every character the switching stance is 4 frames (console)?
Also is this for just changing the stance or does it take 4 frames to actually block on another side?
So many questions, did you just test this/find this out or was this common knowledge?
This is huge and no ones talking about it.
I tested it myself just because I wanted to disprove the people spamming that some things could not be guarded in time by Raider and Lawbringer. I found that if you switch guard it takes 8 frames @ 60 fps for guard to be enabled, 7 frames and below you get hit.

It got tested in depth by more people in reddit, if you look at the competitiveforhonor subreddit you'll find more threads about it there. But yes, basically that's correct, it would take 4 frames on console.

There is some difference in speed for rapidly switching guards though. Basically, it's totally fine to switch guard rapidly with some characters like Warden, but rapidly switching guard with characters that take a long time to move their weapon between their hand's like lawbringer/raider/etc "locks" you in that guard position until the animation is finished. So you can't just spin right stick around like a madman with them or you might find yourself stuck in an animation.

Is it just a bug that causes zone attacks to appear that they are coming overhead first? I hate that shit.
You can do this on purpose. Simultaneously tap light then heavy when in top guard, then the zone atk comes out, but it first is indicated as coming from the top.

can you elaborate?

peacekeeper might have some decent mixups, but I have yet so see someone dishing out damage with them.
Unblockables that can only be dodged or parried. They force their opponents to move or be ready to parry. Either is something that thins their tactics or stretches their defenses.

I hit one with blow after blow after blow after blow after blow. I hit him enough times to go through three life bars, but he was still standing. It was because he got Rage, hit his feat, and got Rage again. Its ridiculous.

I'm talking 1v1. I guess he's strong in dominion too?
