The Reason I Move My Guard Like This In For Honor ... ❄️

[@FourEditsYT]

btw if you ever played mortal kombat or any other fighting game, this will remind you of a mechanic in those games called "fuzzy guarding". if you don't know what that is or haven't played any other fighting game besides for honor, i highly suggest you go watch a video on that mechanic. also this works for me but it may not work for you because everyone is different and has their own preferences, so if it doesn't work for you then you have to play the way you're most comfortable ... thanks for watching, like and subscribe to the channel if you enjoyed.

[@kevdup5109]

Fr cause In those fighting games you gotta be ready for overheads, lows, throws, cross-ups so you gotta keep have good blocking and also some movement to help you avoid mixups and pressure it’s great that you apply actual fighting game terms and apply it here to for honor. Combine fuzzy guarding with meatying your opponent and your in a good spot and safe/unsafe shenanigans

[@kevdup5109]

are you on next gen? Or ps4

[@mercenary-433]

Thanks for the help lad. I've played for about as long as you, but my PC at launch wasn't the best. I could only launch duel with 40fps max, so dom was out of the question. I used to ruin tournaments though. Ever since CCU, I have become washed up xD. Now that everything has been sped up, it's separating pretenders like me and legends like you more thoroughly. I still have to two tournament awards from back when Jarl Jordan ruled the For Honor discord server, but I don't feel worthy of them any more. These tutorials have solo gotten me my mojo back. Thanks bud.

Not gonna lie I play on pc and I thought you were sus as hell until I kept watching

[@hasanplaster1510]

@@kevdup5109 well mk dont have cross ups Because there's block button And fussy guard is just a way to cheese mix up between overhead and low if they have 5 f gap or more To make it simple lets say the enemy have 13f low With 20f overhead So you have 7f gap What you need to do is block for 13f on down And then release it between the 7f And throws are reactable so the only way to open these play is by command grab Or Doing moves that have similar animation to the throw Basically its a mechanic to skip 50 50

Definitely a tutorial on how to deflect more often and one on reading opponents characters

[@robertespinoza5958]

I just look for any natures wrath because thats a easy reaction deflect, any dodge attack=easy, zone is a different matter and it depends on what your opponent does i was fighting a warden the other day and i was deflecting his zones because that was a big thing he did and i adapted, you can also deflect heavys pretty easy, im on console so deflecting lights is hard but not impossible, its almost impossible to do on reaction so you just need to learn your opponent and what hero there playing, like wardens throw a lotta side lights so deflect those

[@fussel676]

@@robertespinoza5958 the thing with zones mostly is, baiting an option select. Means fainting a heavy and anticipating the zone instead of the heavy and react accordingly. Especially when you all ready on attack, gives the opponent less time to think.

I thought i was the only one doing this so i can stay alert lmao. Ive also been doing this so i can prevent my reflex guard from going out while using assasins. Feels nice to see im not the only one to do this. Nice vid 👌

[@demonwolf570]

I always assumed Assassins moved their guard like this to try and confuse me even though it doesn't work.

[@Blurgamer17]

I do the opposite to reaction, I predict where the attack comes from, when it comes and how fast it will be. Since my fingers are just too slow to do reaction, they need an instinctive input to get anywhere. So my main objective when fighting is to get into the enemy's head and correctly time the counters and punishes, making the Timing input the most difficult part of the read. Essentially I have to see ahead of time to know how to react. Bashes are the most recent one where I can just dodge on orange, and the predictions have helped me reduce the amount of Zone OS parries I do to a smaller amount thanks to keeping my mind set on Flash parry timing.

[@a7mednj787]

I do the opposite to that. I predict where my opponent is going to strike and then I instinctively miss every god dang time!

[@cowblob6539]

yeah relying entirely on guessing is not a good idea in a fighting game. especially if you play an assassin

[@purewrath]

I would call this "intuition". It makes you react faster to main mechanics. An example would be: When you are OOS, be prepared for your opponent to possibly GB you.

[@Blurgamer17]

@@cowblob6539 well I remedy this issue by hitting the training grounds, every day. The problem that the average for honor player faces, is that they expect to play at their best without prior warm up and practice. Best example of this is light spam. Instead of just complaining about why you can't react to lights or seemingly see lights go through your guard, they should try training with light attack bots in Training grounds _Before_ they even touch Multiplayer. I've gotten better with reacting (although it seems I won't be able to parry on flash at 30 fps just yet), however, you'd be surprised to see how common patterned attacks are used in all heroes. The reason why guessing gets you pretty far in this game, is because of noticing common pattern attacks with every hero and every player. Warmonger with top chain lights Nuxia with opposite side chain lights Orochi with same side lights (pre y5s3 rework) And so on. Guessing gets you so far because nobody in this game (noob to definitive mid-tier skill levels, which covers a massive amount of players [and all redditards]) has enough brain cells engaged at one time to change their playstyle on the fly to be unpredictable

[@cowblob6539]

@@Blurgamer17 yeah it’s annoying though cause a lot of people do those for their first chain and then change it. especially i can’t play against heroes with enhanced lights other than highlander or lawbringer cause now way to stop there chain other than parrying

[@XLRK8]

I swear it helped me sooooo much Thank you so muchhh🔥🤌🏻🤌🏻

[@exsidusjedi]

Your videos are fantastic and informative! Truly a skilled player and I mean skilled in a way that makes the game look slow. Best way I can put it is that your reads, reactions and skill at executing each action is so spot on that the game falls into a flow state. Instead of the flashing red chaotic mess that can happen in breach when everyone is just swinging mindlessly and the officer is just in there hitting everyone. Definitely do a video on making reads! It's down right silly to see a player continue to do dash attacks 3 times in a row from a canceled bash or unblockable. Then after they respawn do the exact same thing.

[@AlexBlack712]

I thought that this was already self explanatory so i was surprised when i saw that you had to make this video for the people that didn't realize that.

[@TheDrsalvation]

to be fair, I don't move my guard that often, I don't play with a guard reticle either. I think it's more intuitive to watch the opponent's moves instead, this way I don't need to be looking at the UI telling me when to parry, instead I can focus on the precise moment. (It does make some attacks more unpredictable tho)

[@davidszepvolgyi7161]

Now this is really helpful

[@linajabba9639]

I feel like lights are more easy to deflect, than parry, mabie its because I am always moving that stick but not the other one

Tip to anyone well use guard flexing: Make the dead zone low something like 5 and lower So if you get ligth on opposite direction and you have a good reaction you can have the time to parry it You can still paryy it with high dead zone but its much easier

[@OtsdarvaOS]

Well. Long as you're not a cheater I don't care honestly. I fought someone recently on PC who I think was scripting. They didn't change their guard or even move it or attempt to parry then feint. But just instantly parried me all the time regardless if it was heavy or light. They had a rep overall of 2. So either they were a REALLY god-tier console player, or they were scripting.

[@FourEditsYT]

but it’s different on console, you can’t hack on console, you wouldn’t even make it past sony’s anti cheat. it’s simply not possible but yeah on pc you could hack because ubisoft didn’t put in an anti cheat to stop players from scripting

[@infinitxm8574]

I'm guessing most people in the comments here haven't been playing for the past 5 years like some of us have? Good, so I can air a frustration I have about low rep players. Stop getting pissed at high rep players for matching against you and beating you. It isn't our fault, it's the game. The amount of times I get messages saying "Wow, try harding against a rep 8" 🤦🏻‍♂️ Just because i'm getting the correct punishes, deflecting and parrying it doesn't mean i'm trying super hard against you. You learn these things over time and they become second nature? No thinking involved, you just do it. So no, just because you're a low level i'm not going to throw a punish, not because i'm thinking "fuck this guy" but more because i'm not thinking at all, i'm just doing.

[@kanakitakahashi2373]

Even tho its a quick pop up, yes do a "How to make better reads" thingy im dying here :3

[@hylux7]

If you want to make better reads, you need to first study your opponent: For the offensive, try using your normal playstyle, see what they can counter, and change it to throw them off. Once they stop taking the bait, revert to doing it again to get some free damage. For defensive, look for patterns in their attacks, for example: *"The follow up light always comes from top, i'll parry it next time"* or *"Average lightspam BP, always dodge after first light"* or *"This kensei always feints the zone in a side light, i'll parry it next time"* I strongly suggest you look at all the characters' movesets to see which attacks are undodgeables, what they can and can't do.
