the reason you don't want to guard it on the ground (with exceptions like Counter Shield etc) is that he would immediately kill you after this

on lvl 1

because you can't guard the attacks after this

guard lag prevents you from jumping into the air right after this

but yes guards needs a fix

but I wish people would post examples that are actually appropriate

and Deans theory is just wrong

why would they nerf the iframes when you can easily ignore the red attacks by using the iframes of reprisal/counter kick or magic?

they just messed guard up

Because they overlooked it? But I do think they just didn't make guard properly yeah

Block whatever

Same firetrucking thing

I think guard fails are also because of weird hitboxes

water has better iframes than guard

The interesting thing I found is that counter spin is better than I've seen

Usually I've seen slash or kick hit spin has some potential stagger value

Made the doll fight super easy on level 1

Idk about that
Critical is the only diff where this became an issue
When it works, it works really well
But as with any arpg, there are attacks that are more picky/straight up not blockable

Which crit helped find

Yeah it needs a few more frames in its overall hit box for sure but, I wouldn't say it's broken or not implemented well

Keeping in mind too the extra amounts of < 60 frame latency now that we are on a bigger engine and all

Even with the Pro or One X, the players timing is gonna be vastly different than 1.5 and 2.5
Let alone the PS2 versions lol

If its causing issues like that then it's not working properly :tifashrug:

Random thought sorry if I'm interrupting a Convo but an underappreciated thing about kh3 is how seemless the transition between cutscenes and gameplay is, its amazing

It's not a huge issue no

But it's still there

> issue
Because people made it to be
Rather than just seeing it as attacks that you might need to focus on more

Being soft on these things doesn't get them fixed

I.e lazy learning

No Goldy I don't believe that

@MD yes! It's very good

Dean literally blocked fine in that video and it didn't work

We shouldn't have to work around things rather than just yknow... Have those things fixed

@GoldenDrummer730#4323 i Completley forgot about this but am now re-realizing how amazing this is

As I said, it needs work

But it's far from an issue/ a poorly implemented mechanic

Since again, it's ONLY on crit that people see this

:isittho:

I'd agree if Proud faced the exact same issues

Then it's an issue in crit

Which is a mode people want to play

That's not poorly implemented then

That's poor optimization

It's still poor just because proud is so easy you can't catch it

It still exists

Then people need to see that

If it can be replicated in lower diffs,
I'll 10000% agree with you no questions asked

But seeing as how the enemies have the same attacks in all levels of play, I can never say that guard is poorly implemented

That is a put my foot down foe the devs on that one

Why would the nature of the block be any different in crit?

Unless what Dean thinks is actually true and they nerfed it

Because I straight up feel that people didn't guard at all in lower diffs due to how damage works in this game

You can take a hit no issue there

It could have been

We know that it as a whole was touched because of the perfect block
