Piercing the Guard... (Swords/Kodachis)

**Mac2492** · 02-27-2006, 02:43 PM

Okay, I'm a hybrid sword fighter. I butterfly around and to psych the person out. I also butterfly against people with automatic weapons. On the other hand, I use my two-hit/three hit flash (Simple....) against others... One of my favorite things to do is to block. Every once in a while, a REALLY good butterfly fights me. I block but they just keep going and going at me until my guard breaks.... My question(s), how do they do that? I'm blocking but they don't bounce off.... Also, are there any other ways to pierce the guard besides right click? (I.E.... Like an unblockable massive strike except with normal attacks.... Maybe a slash aimed at a certain part of the body?) Thanks in advance.

EDIT: One more thing... Are kodachis FASTER at butterflying? I can pull off a blazing two hit combo in about the time a sword user slashes once. I'm not talking about how fast the butterfly goes (As in how fast a person can push those buttons)... I'm talking about how long it takes for the sword to slash. (Quicker slashes = faster but weaker butterfly?) I can elaborate more on this if anyone doesn't understand.

THey hit you from the back .You can only block whats in front of you.
Maybe trying looking when u block to the direction he hitting you from.

What he's talking about is a legslash, Bane of Turtles.

I don't know any way around it, TBH, and it's pissing me off.

Thanks. I forgot to mention that I was cornered and I blocked. Are they hitting me from the sides or are they hitting my feet? I really don't care that they can pierce it... I'm just asking because I WANT to do it too!

P.S. Could someone please explain how to do these guard piercing moves? I have the hardest time killing good butterflyers who know when to turtle. >.<... (I can't use right click + combo on laggers because it misses half the time.)

They'll be aiming straight down.

Your client thinks you blocked, but their client doesn't.

Whoah... Thanks. Does this work on the ground as well? That means I'll damage them but their guard will stay? That would rock!

INVuRTS · 02-27-2006, 03:26 PM

You won't damage them, but if you do a quickslash or regular combo, you can probably get a few hits in when their client drops their block.

That's why I love Kodachi. They were built for raping turtles.

Thank you. You've been awesome in helping. ^.^... Time to own the turtles! (I butterfly against good butterfliers... Turtling is tough.)
