Requesting DEV explanation on Guard Break changes

PSA

People seem to think that all guard breaks are reverting to their pre-launch beta state. I believe this is not what's happening. From the way the post was worded, it seems to imply that the only window changes that are happening will be when both people attempt to guard break at the same time.

Current Live Version: Both players press guard break, whoever presses it slightly sooner will automatically succeed with no chance to have it countered. The change seems to be targeting this specific situation, and reverting it to...

Beta guard break: Both players press guard break at same time, most of the time they will "bounce off" one another, if one person presses it slightly faster, you will now be able to counter the guard break as it happens, if you time it properly based on current live version of guard breaks. (defending has to be done on impact)

So basically it's going to stay the same in most situations, but have a counterable answer when you both push guard break at nearly the same time.

I could be wrong, but to me this is very clearly what the devs mean by their changes.
