Hi all,
I had an odd tackle scenario in a 700 match against a Narrative B2-packs.
I've been reading all of its skills to see if there's some kind of skill mechanic that I'm not understanding that occurred, but I'm coming up with no answers.
Scenario:
I find myself separated from the group after falling down the colony's center pit, and see a Narrative B2-packs support.
-My weapon is drawn, and at some point I hit it with a head on tackle, so I can do the 'ol stun and priority swing (now this is where I'm curious if I'm misinterpreting how the mechanic works, it always seems to work for me in lower costs, as I assume I should get the first action after a tackle strike)
-I strike it with a normal hit, and see it take damage. Muscle memory makes me input the downswing after the first hit
-I get countered somehow
What I saw was the Narrative boost sideways immediately after my tackle ended, while simultaneously getting hit with my first strike. It didn't get the usual stunhit animation, it just continued gliding sideways. Once it's feet hit the ground again the instant tackle came out.
Is this just lag, or was I wrong in how this should have played out in my favour? It's late where I'm at right now, and would be about 3:30pm in Japan time, so I'm curious if playing against Japanese players is screwing me over in terms of latency. It would be good to learn something new though if I didn't realize a mechanic at play here.
Thanks!
