[@AvalancheZ250]

Just a few of my own notes - I find that I get hit by a lot of 500ms lights from neutral when my mind is half-occupied with how to adapt my own offense to the opponent's defensive read preferences. If I'm just turtling, my "reaction speeds" improve massively, against both single stimulus and multiple choice reactions. But then my own offense is prone to be read and countered. In a lot of cases, its not as simple as "enemy loves dodge attacking, so I'll always feint my UB heavy into parry" (which anyone can figure out in an instant, unless its like 2am lmao). Its like "the enemy has a probable pattern of letting my first finisher UB fly, then dodge attacking, then parrying, but only if I enter that UB heavy mixup via a 500ms light with its light hitstun, and the opponent has a different defensive pattern if I enter the same mixup but via a different hitstun (e.g., heavy attack after a light parry)". There's a lot of complexity in how an opponent's defensive pattern could be, and you have to think it through in real time while also defending against your opponent trying to do the same to you. And this is just in a duel. In a teamfight, especially if there's multiple of the same Hero on the enemy team, its almost impossible for me to adapt. I end up falling into my default offensive patterns. Another thing I've noticed is that blocking lights is a lot easier than parrying them. I've never quite understood this, because I thought the guard switch for blocking and parrying is the same (at 100ms), but it seems that I always need to react earlier in order to get a parry off. Pre-CCU this wasn't an issue since there was plenty of time to block and parry, but post-CCU I can block 500ms lights on reaction consistently but only rarely parry 500ms lights on reaction. And this is even if I am anticipating a 500ms light. The only 500ms lights that are easy for me to parry are ones where I know they're going to come from a certain direction (e.g., BPs/Kyoshin's trying to Superior Block CC with their Opener Lights).

[@red_catharsis]

This was awesome man. A very eye opening video. I’ve been working on a little project for a bit now where I try to improve my reaction times by spending the first 30 or so minutes of every play session in training with reflex guards trying to get at least 3-6 light parries in a row and then I go out into the game to see if it makes a difference and upload my experience! So far I’ve noticed that no matter what I can’t usually start landing the lights in training right away and that it always takes a few tries to get in the reaction frame of mind. Duel Modes: it has made a pretty solid difference, I would still say that about 80% of the light parries and deflects I get are read based, but that’s much better than the 100% of the past. Dominion and other 4v4s: definitely less reliable, but like was said in your video I believe that is more due to the environment. It’s a lot more high stress and there are a lot more things on the screen pulling your attention away from indicators and animations. That being said I still have noticed a difference in the uptick of light parries, it’s just not as easy to gather consistent numbers there. All in all so far just doing some training with a reflex guard bot isn’t going to make you a parry god, BUT it will improve your chances of landing them in my opinion. That in tandem with practicing making reads on opponents and paying more attention to what they do (if/then stuff. “If they do this then you do that”) will definitely give noticeable results when it comes to the consistency in your reaction times! Edit: since I didn’t mention it: I play on Ps5 with a normal TV. Though I am upgrading to a nicer setup soon so I’m very curious if having a 4K tv that could really support a better frame rate will make a bigger difference!

[@AdamIsInTheGulag]

As a console player since launch, For Honor has evolved and I feel it became less about genuine neural reactions and more about reads and mindgames. Especially to parry/deflect consistently. I’m on PS5 now and I do notice I can parry way more on reaction now rather than old gen however you also have to take into account ping, input delay etc which can even damage the new gen and make certain things unreactable. I’m not sure what it’s like for you PC guys. Would be curious to hear.

[@IAMJJayPlays]

We Love It Hereeee🔥💯 Not sure how consistent new gen can react to fast attacks but I think it's pretty well agreed that PC players can react at will smile. again.. Love it here🙂

[@teh_jibbler]

PC guy. 180ms reaction on human benchmark. Neutral lights (500ms) I can parry on reaction most of the time. I can block chain lights (400ms) most of the time. If I read that it's coming, I can parry chain lights, but it's not as often. Usually just block it.

Happy you said that reaction relys a good bit on genetics. Some people out here think having an anime practice session for a few weeks on console will make them react like the top 0.3%. If you are on new gen and you can't block lights consistently you arnt gonna. That's just the unfortunate truth. Research shows that reactions can only be improved by 20%. A limit many gamers have reached long before touching for honor.

Glad that you noted factors like set up, peripherals and especially whether or not someone is well rested and exercising. Mood as well I think is a factor here too, speaking for myself of course I find myself playing and enjoying the game more when I'm in better spirits rather than when overly stressed. I also want to point out that reactions, while important and obviously have benefits it's not the be all and end all of how good you are or can be at the game. Game knowledge and moment to moment decision making, reviewing your own games and practicing with and against heroes you struggle against goes a very long way into improving your skill level far more than being able to consistently parry storm rush. That said, I would always advocate practising reacting to moves that are considered reactable by competitive players but don't feel discouraged if you find it to be difficult. And get more sleep and hydrate. Look after yourself and you'll find your gaming experience much better win or lose.

filled survey - 1m32s to block 5 in a row (felt like could do it better with fixed guard, reflex screwed me up). ~293ms on human benchmark. could't do 5 parries in a row (maxed out at 2). PC 60hz monitor. 30years. 1k hrs in game. Additional info - in game block lights semiconsistently, forget about lightparry on reaction (read only) and sometimes i can get caught with medj staff bash in 1v1 (shamefull display), light DAs though are easy ones be it 500ms or slower, storm rush read only (yeah, oro can shut me down for good).

[@El_Malanga02]

If I’m honest, I can pretty easily block lights on old gen. The problem comes from parrying them. I feel like I have to input the heavy before the animation even starts or the indicator appears

[@tacticalweeb5625]

Input delay is the bigger issue than frames for sure

[@DreyfusLagoon]

Yeah when I played on old gen I could definitely block lights consistently minus the 400ms ones. But parrying then required a full prediction which made parrying neutral lights almost impossible because I would have to stare at the enemy and predict the exact time he was going to throw a light rather than seeing the indicator

[@DMC_Motorsports]

There was a 'study' conducted and they found on old gen you have about 100ms to perform a light parry

Videogames were always a gateway for players who aren't as physically capable to compete with others on a stage where it doesn't matter as much. I support keeping the pushes to reduce reliance on reaction in favour of game sense. Keyword being reduce, not remove. I like that the competitive scene has been pushing for parry flash removal. I think the best way is to make consistent reactions harder, not making reacting impossible which removing parry flash does well. Not sure what should be done about bashes.

[@CoCoKwispy]

Personally, I've found that reacting is significantly easier when UI is all off or just fight UI is off. It becomes easier to read what is happening because the primary point of focus on your opponent is actually your opponent and their animations.

[@MrAleksander59]

After some months (more than a year) with constant playing I've got ability to react to light attacks not with parry but even with deflects. My flex was deflecting everyone with shaman and give bleeding for opponents a lot. I was capable to do it just some periods of time and of course it's hard. But even with it on high-skill level plays a lot of players was manageable to defeat me because there are more mechanics than just "lol, react on everything". Bashes, feints, grabs, windows for moves. That was before that rework that happened few years ago with changing "time to show a move with indicators".

[@RafaelSantos-pi8py]

Switching from ps4 to ps5 increased my reaction times. Warming up in training practising parries and deflects also helps a lot. But in the end unless you're a monster with the best equipment money can buy you can't react to everything. And successful reading requires experience in the game.

[@BloodyVeel]

[@RafaelSantos-pi8py]

@@BloodyVeel I'm not saying that a ps5 is not expensive nor that For Honor doesn't run better in a pc, the thing is that i had a lot of games, including online games, on the ps4 and could continue to play them in a ps5, and that made it worth for me. ,

@@RafaelSantos-pi8py my point is for honor is really old game its close to 6 full years so optimization on such games and deleting files and boosting fps to max its easy as boiling eggs ! and if you never played on for honor at 240 fps you won't even know what i am talking about ! because you literally can see 400/500 ms animations and react to them !

[@willus2124]

Old gen player here, been playing for honor since season 4, I find it very interesting that pc players say that feintable bashes aren't reactable. I think I make a good job of keeping my opponent guessing what I am going to do, I play centurion most of the time yet I find that people don't really fall for the charged jab into GB that often... Perhaps it is because I am predicable and I just don't know it, but anyways I stopped playing recently because I just can't keep up with new gen and pc players, as soon as they find out I can't block lights consistently I keep getting poked and eventually lose. So I guess I'll only return if I manage to save some money for a new console

I really want to see UBI make the legion kick bashes 400ms, but chqnge the input to 400-500ms. See if that helps out heros at all with opening top players up. This also should help put heros like Orochi, if you delay storm rush input to line up with the kick.

[@ahhhsothisishowyouchangean162]

That’s true, so the only thing people are reacting to are the forward dodge but not the bash itself, making bash openers viable in all levels

Im on old gen: I used to be a godly reaction person when I played nothing but For Honor. After I took a much needed break from For Honor (basically a 4 month break 😅) I had lost almost all reaction ability. Like, to compare the two, I could parry most neutral lights, and consistently able to parry Zanhu light finisher (dunno if that’s impressive though). After the break, I could only get as good as to parry SOME of the above inconsistently.

[@bournechupacabra]

I know this would take too long to ask the pros, but I'm also interested to see how these reactions change when you add in all mixup options. For example, most decent PC players can react to legion kick bashes if they practiced in training mode. But that number would go down a fair amount if they were in a real duel, trying to react to empty dodge+gb, light attacks, dodge forward heavy feint, etc.

[@ficedulamortis6434]

Your participation request doesn't say whether you should have feedback timing on. Feedback timing makes you able to see the indicator faster (because there something moving). Without timing feedback, I parry lights in frame 5 or frame 6 of the window. With feedback timing I parry as early as frame 2 or 3, so it can make a 100ms difference. I guess movement is for me much easier to see than just the red indicator..

[@EvermoreUnicorn]

I think timing feedback pops up as soon as an attack starts, which means it ignores the 100ms hidden indicator that lights normally have

So can someone explain to me how the hell 400 ms lights is not reactable in most cases, but a 300-500 ms bash is somehow magically reactable? I don't get that. If the bash is faster than the 400 ms light, then how is it somehow more reactable than the slower light that wasn't? It makes no sense to me.

[@commodorekhan8602]

the 300-500 ms part is simply the input window. The part that maybe didn't get mentioned is that the actual bash in most cases is 500 ms. it also depends on whether or not the hero with the legion's kick bash has another move whose animation blends well with the bash, thus making it harder to react to (ex. Zhanhu bash/dodge forward heavy, Black Prior forward dodge bash/forward dodge have the same animation startup). 500ms bash with variable window vs. 400ms light that in some cases is multidirectional (ex.

[@escanor790]

Can someone help me with storm rush react. Of course I understand the red arrow is react-able by fast players but how does the animation play a part? I watched it slowly and couldn't distinguish anything in the animation early enough. By the time I could tell, the red arrow was already present.

[@commodorekhan8602]

the slightest little tell is enough to distinguish the side. it does take practice, much moreso on console (if you're on old gen, i wouldn't even recommend trying to react to it tbh). the easiest one to distinguish is the top one from the regular. look for anything i.e. foot placement, whether he spins sooner or later, if his arms move a certain way. anything at all and then just practice looking for those.

I can parry 600ms inconsistent, ask your questions.

thats how i practised light parrying

I also do feel like characters do play a big part to

actually a great vid love it great job :)

[@pupa7755]

I still can’t understand why all FH KZbinrs have such smooth animations and attack indicators? All animations on my screen are torn and as a result, 20-30 percent faster. I tried to solve it by lowering the graphics and resolution. Maybe the problem is in the frequency of the monitor or in general is it a problem of the EU server? (i play at a stable 60 frames)

[@fkkfreeze]

They always seem smoother in videos. I'll read up why that is the case.

[@johnyguacamole2878]

+100 fps video made into 60fps video will look smoother, also since you aren't actively trying to react and play the game you are more focused on the image and can see it's details better. When i play my 144+fps look like 60 and the youtube fh videos that are 60 feel as smooth as if i were to play

I just cant react to lights, in game i block lights on pattern of opponent, I did the survey i could only manage 2 light block streak no more than that

for honor and sleep schedule doesnt go together

Will you go over the results of the survey?

huh blocking 5 lights on first try with no issue but chainbashes I don't think I've ever reacted to one... maybe it it just about practice

Love how real this video is very intresting! Thanks 🙏🏻😁☺️ very old school for honor but im not huge fan but i play it very rare but still i want to enjoy the game not Always it happens

I play with a mix of reaction and prediction based on how they are playing lol

wierd iff 500 ms lights on PC are reactable to everyone as they said why do 500 ms lights land then? coz i can swear i saw 500 ms lights hitting people.

I would like to wish all PC and New Gen players a very unpleasant Old Gen experience.

[@Wird97]

Why tho ahaha

[@undertaker9956]

And we wish old gen guys to upgrade

[@Anime-Doof]

@@fl4k_40 Maybe the game shouldn't have been released on and profited from the old gen consoles then. Instead of making a big deal of For Honor coming out at the tail end of the last generation then essentially redoing the balance around new gen/PC and a non-existent e-sports scene, Ubi should've just delayed the release and built For Honor up for the New Gen and PC audiences.

[@XXLightningxFarron]

@@Anime-Doof The game is 6 years old, what in the good lord are you talking about? You'd rather they delay a game they already made for like 4 years for PS5 because you don't want to upgrade? When they game came out it was maybe halfway through the PS4's life span, it took 4 years for them to have to balance for new gen. Just buy a PC dude, the game isn't even hard to run.

[@Wird97]

@@XXLightningxFarron or if you can't afford a pc, at least don't complain. The game is still playable, we have MMR brackets just for that, if your console makes it impossible for you to react to some stuff, you'll play with ppl who can't react to it as well

I am on new gen console and I can't react to almost anything. I am reading all the time. Sure I am almost 40 and probably just suck. A lot of the time I even get the read right but still mis the parry cause my fingers just dont move that fast. I am sure it makes a difference wether you play with controller vs keyboard and mouse.

[@prone1277]

i disagree on the part of raider mixup i fighted top reaction players like Ranquis, legion, s1, tatee, azretah. when i did my few scrims session in raider miror against tatee and azretah, both are really good for react completely at the raider's UB mixup (UB feint or UB sf storming tap or UB not feint) especielly azretah, with a noticeable difference of consistency. i know he has a 240hz monitor, i even think, more player can do it with consistency with a top hardware setup (360hz or even more) i share one of his video for add some proves kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmqpdmeEma2ZsKM i bet if bean try really at reacto to the raider's ub mixup, he will success with a some consistency after few day of hard training ; he will change his opinion

In general, PC let you react where consoles can't

Dear Merlin the wise of For Honor (AKA Freeze), its is true that pc players can react to anything with practice, notice how normie is saying he can react while his teammates banning russians and middle eastern entering tournaments due to ping, nobody wants to talk about ping issues and nobody wants to fix it, if we want to talk about reaction ask this question first: (is your ping stable?, is your ping below 50?) i have to read people on a 100 ping unfortunately.
