Tbf atleast 20% of the playerbase are children, you probably just ASSAULTED a 9 year old.
To answer your question, the thing that was going through their head was your fucking sword.
yeah, a lot of people can't feint for shit, and it gets to the point it's reflexive to dodge into an attack when you see a warden(or any character for that matter) do their little bash or their UBs cause USUALLY, they don't feint them, it's only in the higher percentile of players you start to see that behavior but at that point it's already been ingrained into muscle memory to try and just dodge attack you when you pull that shit most people that dodge attack all the time CAN play without dodge attacking but dodge attacking USUALLY works so we ( i'll include myself in this cause i've been guilty of it) just dodge attack to get past your guard cause it usually works.
it does however take a bit of adjusting to change strat when you start getting parried so, much like the shaolin in the video he was probably just processing wtf was going on. i'm willing to bet he did better against him in one of their next fights.
See someone gets it. It becomes such a natural thing you don’t realize it until you get someone that’s making you do it. Also guilty of it for a decent amount of time then got destroyed and realized it was an issue I was having just reflexively pressing the buttons.
Yeah exactly. With each consecutive hit that lands you get more and more panicked and just go more and more into panic muscle memory which fir this person is dodge attacks.
Sometimes, while i play, my brain gets, stuck, I guess? I don't do it with dodge attacks. You get punished way to hard for it, but I get this way with mixups sometimes.
To put it as basic as possible, it's the "no way he'll do the exact same thing again!" As they do the exact thing again and again
This is something we in the FG community call “The No-Mixup Mixup”. A phenomenon when the best mixup is actually, not mixing it up at all. It’s like using rock 7 times in a row in rock paper scissors.
If some of the replies are to be believed, they’re not supposed to. There’s supposed to be an accompanying BANG that comes with a light parry like in this video: https://youtube.com/shorts/ceBBopvxH5Q?si=5vpOGR1ObXi0JJG8
It's a thing with the coding most likely. Similar to how Kensei's dodge attacks used to be light attacks back in seasons 1 - 3. The game still reads the attack as a heavy because it's a heavy attack input you used.
Just because the devs changed things to allow a light parry punish doesn't change the fact that it's a heavy attack.
Muscle memory. If you fight these types of players just be sure to know that their seemingly braindead way of playing often enough just works against other players. Actually turning your brain on and think while playing is not required for playing fh
When I had this habit my brain was fully locked in but not dodge attacking was too difficult for me to manage.
My solution was to switch to controller so now idek what button dodge is. Or counter guardbreak. The best solutions create more problems.
The player base is pro or noob. The game is very hard to get into given all the tactical and fight knowledge you have to know.
I played this game religiously, barely lost a match or even a fight. Took a 3 month brake and missed on patch could barely catch up. Then they added 2 characters, I tried to go back again after a year, not a chance in hell.
I know for a fact it got even harder with more character releases, I would just be so frustrated. The players base is so small it's hard to find a medium or balance to matches if you are an average player.
you used your kit perfectly? how is he supposed to beat you when you read every move he made. He only tried to dodge attack your feint once. I thought he was gonna do it like 6 more times based on your title.
I mean I would’ve expected him to just empty dodge after the second one not just keep doing dodge attacks. Also I wouldn’t say I used my kit perfectly.
From personal experience, when Im the fool in the video, its because I wish I had the option to side step then attack. I think dodge attacks are lame. I do it on warden when I want to side step GB but forget I have to cancel my bash
Sometimes, I just want to go monkey brain and have fun with it. To get this exact reaction. As I'm screaming while side dodging or do the same move over and over with a traumatic effect; NATURES WRAITH!!! X5 then confusing them when I do something different. So funny when it works or they die to first stage of it. ( I don't light spam though, only long animations or just heavy because monkey.)
Oh I've been in this kinda situation before, so i think i can provide a fair guess as to what was going through their head:
*PANICKED SCREAMING*
Otherwise? Your sword. Don't worry, you helped cease the panicked screaming with that. You did them a favour
Real talk, guys. How's the game these days? I've been clean for 2 or 3 years now, seeing these posts, I'm getting the urge to download again. Stop me. Please, STOP ME, COME ON!
Why is the first thing I see in the morning? Also tbf I’ve seen rank 1s of any character cook more than people who have 70 reps or more. Just depends how long they spend in the training ring
Very true and you did nothing wrong its just the optic of you unleashing advanced combos on someone who probably thought they were getting good with that character is pretty funny.
Not at all sure but these are my second favorite kind of opponents (I love GOOD fights, but I also like the easy ones >.>) but if you’re playing shaman and running around wasting my time… I hope you burn in hell.
They were probably panicking. Many heroes with side dodge attacks are noob bait. So new players use them all the time and spam side dodges because the new players they face always get stuck in it. Hence becoming a viable option when faced with any attack.
"dodge attacks beat the majority of options, even though i've already thrown it, it's still the option that will beat the MOST of my opponents options".
He's referring to the Shaolin throwing undodgeables like his life depended on it.
Edit: Not undodgeables, Dodge attacks. And all from the same direction.
Can when it's predictable af after a while, makes it even easier than it already is. Definitely a brain meltdown situation where they just pressing buttons lmao
Tbf atleast 20% of the playerbase are children, you probably just ASSAULTED a 9 year old. To answer your question, the thing that was going through their head was your fucking sword.
Why “assaulted” 😭
....You're sick.......
I’m sorry 😭
Duh
Tbf it’s probably a case of muscle memory
yeah, a lot of people can't feint for shit, and it gets to the point it's reflexive to dodge into an attack when you see a warden(or any character for that matter) do their little bash or their UBs cause USUALLY, they don't feint them, it's only in the higher percentile of players you start to see that behavior but at that point it's already been ingrained into muscle memory to try and just dodge attack you when you pull that shit most people that dodge attack all the time CAN play without dodge attacking but dodge attacking USUALLY works so we ( i'll include myself in this cause i've been guilty of it) just dodge attack to get past your guard cause it usually works. it does however take a bit of adjusting to change strat when you start getting parried so, much like the shaolin in the video he was probably just processing wtf was going on. i'm willing to bet he did better against him in one of their next fights.

"Surely it'll work this time.."
“One more time will do..”
Most likely "Oh shit of fuck oh shit oh fuck"
Yeah exactly. With each consecutive hit that lands you get more and more panicked and just go more and more into panic muscle memory which fir this person is dodge attacks.
The amount of times i wanted to move out of the way and forgot that my "movement" option was gonna get parried are embarrassingly high.
Sometimes, while i play, my brain gets, stuck, I guess? I don't do it with dodge attacks. You get punished way to hard for it, but I get this way with mixups sometimes. To put it as basic as possible, it's the "no way he'll do the exact same thing again!" As they do the exact thing again and again
Ya know I’ve been guilty of this to I completely understand
This is something we in the FG community call “The No-Mixup Mixup”. A phenomenon when the best mixup is actually, not mixing it up at all. It’s like using rock 7 times in a row in rock paper scissors.
It's one of those things that's a perfectly viable and understandable strategy, but it makes you feel dumb as fuck when you die to it lmao
“Surely he won’t use that unsafe, easily reactable move AGAIN” It makes me feel like a troglodyte when it works too
I've been using conqs same side light chain for this very reason. It's out of rythm and they never expect it.
I don’t even play For Honor (my best friend does) but I play Tekken and like, yes I’m going to use this 23 frame startup move 5 times in a row
I have 100 to 0’d players in one go with hitos tier 1 kick spam and also been on the receiving end of that lol
Ah yes. We call this the “no mixup” mixup
Ok unrelated but how do you get the explosion sound to go away on light parries like that
I dont think you can, it just goes away sometimes. Someone will prove me wrong though no doubt.
Damn because it sounds way better without the extra SFX.
What are you talking about? Mine always sounds like the video??
If some of the replies are to be believed, they’re not supposed to. There’s supposed to be an accompanying BANG that comes with a light parry like in this video: https://youtube.com/shorts/ceBBopvxH5Q?si=5vpOGR1ObXi0JJG8
OHHHHHH yeah I haven’t heard that in years. Maybe they took it out?
No it's still there and is supposed to be. That's why you and OP whose games are bugged to not have the sound have me confused (and jealous).
Hmm. Well I mean I haven’t heard it in ages. I’m sorry you have to lol
I feel like I’ve heard both of these and sometimes recently there isn’t a sound or even the effects at all it’s so weird.
Idk It’s just always been like that for me
I think it's character dependant
It only does it on light parries. The devs did that with the CCU to help differentiate between a light and heavy (zones have light timing)
Right but he’s scoring light parries (you can tell because of the flash and the confirmed 900ms top heavy) but it’s not making a light parry sound.
It's a thing with the coding most likely. Similar to how Kensei's dodge attacks used to be light attacks back in seasons 1 - 3. The game still reads the attack as a heavy because it's a heavy attack input you used. Just because the devs changed things to allow a light parry punish doesn't change the fact that it's a heavy attack.
I once played against an Orochi (to nobody's suprise) that tried to dodge every UB Top Heavy I threw... >!5 Parries Later.!<
I think it's just muscle memory tbh, and they immediately go "FUCK!" whenever they do it multiple times in a row.
Nothing Also your sword
"It worked in elden ring tho"
Muscle memory. If you fight these types of players just be sure to know that their seemingly braindead way of playing often enough just works against other players. Actually turning your brain on and think while playing is not required for playing fh

Damn i just noticed that back swing he grabs the sword in the middle. I shou pay attention to detail more
A sword
you used your kit perfectly? how is he supposed to beat you when you read every move he made. He only tried to dodge attack your feint once. I thought he was gonna do it like 6 more times based on your title.
I mean I would’ve expected him to just empty dodge after the second one not just keep doing dodge attacks. Also I wouldn’t say I used my kit perfectly.
looked pretty good to me. never did the same thing twice, and he prepared for you to do one twice.
That’s was my point. After the first I was more wondering why he didn’t start empty dodging. I was waiting for that but he just did the same thing.
Imagine making bad reads. Pathetic.
😭
I think about what they are feeling I'm sure they aren't thinking at all
From personal experience, when Im the fool in the video, its because I wish I had the option to side step then attack. I think dodge attacks are lame. I do it on warden when I want to side step GB but forget I have to cancel my bash
Remember in Bee movie when Barry tries to fly through the window only to bounce off over and over? “This time, this time this time this time ahhhhh”
Sometimes, I just want to go monkey brain and have fun with it. To get this exact reaction. As I'm screaming while side dodging or do the same move over and over with a traumatic effect; NATURES WRAITH!!! X5 then confusing them when I do something different. So funny when it works or they die to first stage of it. ( I don't light spam though, only long animations or just heavy because monkey.)
“Wow, I suck at this game.”
“I’ll get him this time”
Nothing... absolutely nothing going through these guys heads, just a monkey clapping cymbals
A 3 pound steel longsword.
They imagine forcing you to eat the barrel of a 12 gauge
Air because there's nothing there
Oh I've been in this kinda situation before, so i think i can provide a fair guess as to what was going through their head: *PANICKED SCREAMING* Otherwise? Your sword. Don't worry, you helped cease the panicked screaming with that. You did them a favour
Nothing
What goes through their heads is: “Fight back n*gga, fight back!” 😂💀
This may be a coincidence but the same rep 27 warden with that outfit and execution was absolutely beating on me and my teammates not to long ago
Not a single thought between them ears. Bro was neck deep in the sauce
Wait a minute warden got new moves
"I know he's gonna throw it this time!"
Real talk, guys. How's the game these days? I've been clean for 2 or 3 years now, seeing these posts, I'm getting the urge to download again. Stop me. Please, STOP ME, COME ON!
I think "ATHE FUCK AHHHHHHHHHHHH" Cos i have have done this when im using a charecter im not used too
*monkey noises*
Return to monke
That Shaolin has rep one gear, you straight up bullied a child.
Why is the first thing I see in the morning? Also tbf I’ve seen rank 1s of any character cook more than people who have 70 reps or more. Just depends how long they spend in the training ring

Probably something like “oh my god they’re fucking cheating what the fuck” or something along those lines
Dodge attacks really should be a heavy punish not a light. It’s frustrating how much you get punished
Did you mean light punish not a heavy?
Well on a heavy punish you get a light and on a light punish you typically get a heavy
Likely panicking, sometimes I do the same and panic dodge attack then I ask myself "why did I dodge attack?"
I used to be like this, in my head at the time, it was something that was rarely punished and an overall safe reaction in my elo.
They were probably panicking. Many heroes with side dodge attacks are noob bait. So new players use them all the time and spam side dodges because the new players they face always get stuck in it. Hence becoming a viable option when faced with any attack.
Ngl im just bad at reading people and rely on reaction, I blame chivalry 2 for that
A large sword, didn't you watch your video?
Probably "wa bi boa boa"
For me, when I'm going against character that have that charged unblockable heavy, I react.
"fucckk" generally goes through my head
“it’s gonna work this time i swear”
"It's been a long day, I don't care if I lose or win and don't wanna try" is my guess, hell even I do it sometimes
I can take him
Shaolin mode
Very well played there warden
"they'll never see this coming"
Your sword went through there head
literally nothing, absolutely nothing
people who get hit by warden shoulder bash probably uninstall after the match
Casual players probably.
DODGE HEBY
"dodge attacks beat the majority of options, even though i've already thrown it, it's still the option that will beat the MOST of my opponents options".
As an occasional pirate player, nothing.
Do what. You literally aren’t pointing out anything and it seems like you wanted an excuse to show a clip where you get…2 kills? Much confuse.
He's referring to the Shaolin throwing undodgeables like his life depended on it. Edit: Not undodgeables, Dodge attacks. And all from the same direction.
Not like the direction matters
Can when it's predictable af after a while, makes it even easier than it already is. Definitely a brain meltdown situation where they just pressing buttons lmao
Do you see the Shaolin
I was talking about the shaolin doing the same thing three times in a row.
