i thought i was the only one noticing this. i have bad luck with countering strings on PS3. i try to 4 counter and i sometimes do 1. don't even get me started on how hard it is to advanced counter on the fly like i could do on Xbox.
Nobody I encounter is mixing up their follow ups to the force tech. I usually assume mid punch hold and it hasn't failed me yet.
you talking about Helena's or people in general. i met two Helena's in the same room that did a solid force tech mixup game. i do force techs with Pai but it only works on a person by person basis.
Helena's. Maybe i just havent gotten a 'good' helena yet? And for Pai I love her force techs when people fall for them but occasionally I get those people that tech before and leave me at disadvantage. Pai's low damage output is starting to turn me off, too. What do you follow up with after her holds?
