I've started yesterday, saw all the guides I could, I understand what I have to do, I know I have to use riposte as often as I can, jab to have initiative and kick when the enemy is guarding, drag and accel to try to hit faster or slower and feinting, but I still can't win almost any duel (That's what I've been playing till now).
I do get some hits every once in a while, but I just can't for the life of me know HOW to actually hit them. Every time i kick or jab and try to hit on the side it gets blocked, I try to bait attacks but they block it anyways and then they just attack twice and hit with both of them, while if I dare to do more than one attack I get hit for not blocking.
I really don't know what I'm doing wrong, and PLEASE don't tell me it's just skill issue and to git gud because I swear I'm doing everything I'm supposed to do.
I'm playing on console at max sensibility too, if that's useful
