I require help once again r/for honor

Questions

So when I first went on to r/forhonor for help, I was inquiring about an issue playing the peacekeeper, which I am happy to say, has been resolved. I am much better at her now, thanks to your advice and info.

Today I ask for help in combating another character, whom has proven to be my Achilles heel.

The Centurion has destroyed me more times than I can count. He is clearly a strong character, but I feel that I must be missing something, the key to combating him. So I ask, what is the garlic to Centurion's Dracula?

  • Dodge kick and punch

  • Block all standard heavies and lights (do not go for parries else you'll get heavy->GB, wait for the GB feint and CGB)

  • Parry his charged heavy (once it's charged to unblockable, he can't feint it)

  • Stay away from the wall

Congratulations you have just completely shut down his entire moveset

I appreciate the help, I'll have to work on the parries, I have a bad habit of trying to get them everytime. (I've had that issue since day one lol)

Do NOT dodge anything other than the two melee moves.

Do not get combo happy. He will interrupt with a heavy. Or parry you.

Apart from the advice given by butterbaps, I would recommend practicing against him in the training arena. What I like to do is load up a level 3 bot, turn off health and stamina and just let him wail on me. My only concern is trying to block/dodge his attacks. It's a handy way of learning the timings of his attacks. And when you are comfortable enough with his moveset, try punishing his kick/punch etc.

Having said that he still kicks my ass often enough, but at least I feel like it was my fault for messing up the timing on my dodge or whatever.

Good luck!

I might just do that, I had been using practice mode mainly to test characters I wanted to buy, but I hadn't thought of using it this way.

Absolutely test your mettle against bots on Training. When I started playing I thought lvl. 3 AI was what I would be up against on high levels, so I relentlessly fought them whenever a certain character was giving me trouble online. Actual players can't predict every attack, but bots can and it's great for practice. You can also set them to do popular combos or mixups.
