Just recently picked up hl after his rework a few months ago.mind you I’m playing on 240hz. Took him to rep 24. Fell in love w his play style. High skill ceiling. If you have really good neutral game, and can utilize his guard tech 4 light parries. Hl is a monster.
That is correct. However it guarantees 1 less damage than a defensive side heavy. But it does have 1 specific use and that is to set up ganks from the pin.
It was a little hard to hear with the music around 18:20ish for me. But otherwise this was an amazing guide, thanks a ton! Good music choice all around as well.
He meant as in judging on react if it's going to be a feint or not. There are some insane people out there that can react to the white light flash on the parry timing, but the kick animation can't be easily seen unlike an unblockable lawbringer top heavy, which you could just look at the animation and react.
@@gustavocoelho1933 @slippy7004 exactly. Parry flash is reactable to some people (anyone with a sub 166ms reaction time) but feintable bashes arent due to the lack of distinct visual indicator, which is why feintable bashes are so strong. Not just on Highlander, but think about Jorm, or Shaolin or Tiandi.
Btw all the emote techs and the weird dash is only possible to parry by reads unless im doing the weird dash wrong im using xbox so maybe thats why but you can only parry the lights by reads you have to know whats going towards you can't just use it when you see the light because it won't work
I dont think i fully understand this comment. Offensive lights are uncreactable, yes, but weird dash isnt a tech you use to attack. Its a niche way to somewhat bring back old wavedash cancels to get quicker parries on forward doge.
Wavedashing is much slower than it used to be. It technically still works but is nowhere near as strong as it used to be. In the past you could use it to weave between chain offence until they were vulnerable enough to eat a kick. Also you could use it to dodge multiple options of a variably timed mixup such as warden's shoulder bash. However it was very difficult to pull off successfully, needing many hard reads and risking being put on the back foot.
