Lol at all the people shaming freeze for sponsorship. If it keeps his content running, then does it really matter? Dude works hours figuring out the spaghetti in for honor with no compensation or official acknowledgement.
They're not shaming Freeze for having the ads. They just don't like them because we've seen them so often. You'd get annoyed too if you saw the same sponsors in videos for multiple creators.
I'm not the professional here, but it's not true, you CAN still do something. Although, it's ALMOST, true. Not to be the guy who looks too far into this, but for new Jormungandr players, definitely going to be shut down. For those who are experts or somewhat decent with Jormungandr, they'll stop you.
@@Aati_Gumer Everything I've stated is purely from my experiences playing Jorm, I couldn't get you this info myself through video, but I'm sure freeze could get you that
I do it all the time i don't have video obviously but when you feint and unblockable for a grab every time they dodge or attempt to parry, it completely fails
I forgot to mention one thing in the video: PK, LB, Glad, BP, and Shaman's counters no longer work after a hit light. All other characters still work fine. Most of the time you'll use these counters after blocked heavies anyway.
Question: it makes sense that a character like LB with a 400ms attack could Boop to interrupt Hito, but how come gladiator can just throw a light (or even shaolin left lights) when other characters can’t?
JizzoTheLoneWolf It doesn’t, it was more of a joke statement. You have to play the character to learn how to fight them imo. Hence why I have a good ten reps on everyone except aramusha, glad, and orochi. Didn’t need to learn them to fight them.
*Time Stamps for each character Escaping (Remember is only for Blocked Heavies light hit, this will NOT work if you were hit by a Heavy):* Note *: I also recommend watching the first minutes of him explaining how Hitos combos work from 2:03 to 3:44 (or the whole video if you have the time obviosly). Note **: If your character is not listed, it's because there is no safe option to cover safely this situation (but you can still use the basic info mentioned before *).

If you’re Kensei and you dodge the sweep. You can get a side heavy for 40 Damage. I tested it with a friend as he is maining Kensei and it was consistent as the guard for the Hitokiri was too slow to be able to block and/or parry the heavy. [Edit] Like so he sees this
It's about time... this game trully suffers from not having such kind of tutorials (anti characters). Everyone posts montage, anti ganks (including myself) and almost nobody cares about anti-strategy, which is the most crucial in any game mode. I myself still struggle a lot against Jorm and Tiandi. Hope Jorm is next.
I mean freeze always gives tips to counter moves whenever he uploads a frame data video of a certain character. It's just the fact that most people don't watch it properly/don't play optimally
@@aeroblaze4 I honestly barely watch any videos of FH, rep 200 here, but always get my hands on Freeze's videos. Thing is, I focus %100 on videos titled 'counter' or 'anti', I guess the ones you mentioned were tips thrown here and there that is why.
@@zangana3052 if you really wanna counter a character, just check out Freeze's video on the specific character framedate. You'll learn what's reactable and not, and freeze even tells what moves have actual offensive pressure and what gets countered by abusing the unintended moves. Other than that, competitive sub used to be pretty good for checking out counters but it's gone dogshit recently. You can still find something good there once in a blue moon though
@@aeroblaze4 lmao, thanks for the advice brother, I will. Sad I didn't know that uptil now. I Have problem with a few characters really. Even though I know they can be option selected in many of their moves, but I dont have the time to lab them myself and test every possible option. Glad someone s taking time to do that for us.
Ur small videos like this really are fucking amazing dude. As a console player I have had so much difficulty against kick spamming Hitos, definitely saving this video as a favorite. Keep it up man 💪💯
Dude this is no where small! Needs all possible testing with every single character in the game, and if something works or not, you gotta test it again and again just to make sure.
Use hitos full kit and dont be predictable I have 40 reps on Hito and my favorite thing about her kit is the Variable timed heavies I love watching people suffer while trying to parry them
@ the video came out yesterday yes, but this has been known knowledge for months now I'm guessing. Either way and freezes comment is somewhere down below, he says himself that he forgot to mention that the characters listed were slightly different. I'd copy and paste it but i'm on the phone and i cant copy other people's comments.
Congratulations! You’re officially a RUclipsr, now that you’ve been sponsored by raid! Idk if this is the first time but this is the first time I’m seeing it so congrats
great video on this topic, sadly there will still be people that will be but-hurt about this move. but hey this video is here to show that this move can be countered.
I needed this video, freeze. Hitokiri and Jorm are the only characters I struggle against (I took a break from the game when they came out) and now I don't have to struggle as much with hitokiri.
Video was extremely helpful, especially because I play on console where her animations are skipping frames, would appreciate if you did the same with wardens bash "mix up" love you freeze
Thanks for the great vid and keep the great content coming. Valk also has an option select for this though. I'm certain you're aware but I'll say it for other people's sake, Valkyrie can option select the entire kick mixup, on reaction, with her Shield Tackle (the back dodge GB/full block that nobody uses). I apologize in advance for the length of this comment. The basics of it are that the GB input during the back dodge moves Valkyrie back more into the full block stance, acting like a double back dodge, meaning that she's outside of GB range and she just dodged, so right there the kick and the kick-feint-GB will both just wiff, from there she can feint the full block to neutral and either dodge the sweep for a GB (she's already outside of GB range so dodging is safe, and this can be done on reaction), feint into neutral then GB to catch Hito's wiffed GB/kick recovery (may require Valk's forward dodge GB to not double wiff the GB's depending on distance), or just feint to neutral cause Hito feinted to neutral trying to bait Valk's dodge attack or something. The timing can be a little weird so here's how you do it. First, the back dodge, blocking a heavy will but Valk in hitstun long enough that if you buffer the back dodge and the GB to enter full bock then she won't back dodge and she'll just throw a gb into HIto's kick/sweep (ouch), if you delay the back dodge too much then Hito's sweep will hit her cause she can't feint the full block to neutral fast enough to dodge so, the back dodge has to be input at a slight delay, with a buffered GB input to move into full block, and then and immediate feint to neutral with a buffered dodge if you see the sweep coming (the sweep will track early dodges so it's best to use the training mode to get an idea of when the animation is right). There is a pretty narrow window to do this but it is always possible to option select the whole mixup on reaction from a blocked heavy. I have not tested whether or not this works on on a hit light, I only know that it works on a hit heavy and blocked heavy. The only real weakness of the Shield Tackle option select is that it takes at least 1/4 of her stamina to use, and that's not including any punishes, imo this is probably the strongest defensive tool in the game since Hidden Stance got nerfed. Feel like I should mention this while I'm at it, this move also option selects/counters these mixups: 1: Warden's Shoulderbash Mixup 2: Kensei's Top Heavy Mixup (with the exception of a forward dodge GB soft feint from the top heavy) 3: BP and Conq's delayed shieldbash mixups (GB or bash mixup) 4: Lawbringer's Shove (can punish it if you let the shield tackle go immediately, but has a narrow timing) 5: Warlord's delayed headbut mixup (GB or bash mixup) 6: Highlander OS Mixups (some of them can be countered some of them can't, and some can be avoided but not punished) 7: Jiang Jun's Shin Kick Mixup
Conqueror may not be able to backstep attack out of the mixup but I think his side dodge bash covers everything, albeit inconsistently. If Conq dodges into the kick (opposite side of the Hito’s first attack, but idk which side for tops) he can dodge the kick, bash snuffs out feint to GB and also can’t be armored through for a sweep. The timing is very finicky though, because if you start your bash too early you’ll get kicked (I think you cancel some dodge frames or something) and if you delay the bash the GB can come out before you get the bash off. I wish I could test this but I have no friends who play the game!
Do you do backstep attacks on reaction to see her start the animation, or do you have to buffer it on prediction that she will branch into kick? If it's the later, then do any of her other options, ie the heavy or a chained light, track you well enough as you backstep?
This is formatted really well and made it pretty easy to understand, despite being some pretty deep knowledge. Now to try to implement it into my gameplay without going full stupid and forgetting.
IMPORTANT TIP: In addition to Hitokiri's 3 kick mix up. She also has a 4th: kick feint into lights and heavys. Thus keeping you in her game of guessing.
@@mankeman4460 No, don't think so. They can both be backstepped but at the risk of getting baited into a guard break. But to test it, go into custom match with a friend. I'm a filthy Hitokiri main. Jorm is the best counter to Hitokiri. As he's mix ups are similar in nature but with stamina pressure, hyper armor, and faster attacks. But in my opinion Hitokiri is the most versatile character along with kensei.
Could you please do HLs kick to grab next? Many people watch your vids so if you cover it there'll be a lot more people who counter it, which would lead to Ubi realizing that HL needs a rework even more
i'm not sure they're up to date but there already are a few videos covering that, can't remember if freeze has made one tho and i'm too lazy to bother searching you could ask on freeze's discord server tho at the end of the description there's a video suggestion channel in the discord anyway
Thanks for releasing this. Now I can directly link this video when someone sends a hate message saying “Her kicks are uncountable” which I have been trying to explain for a few seasons now that this simply isn’t the case.
6:50 you mention the fact that bp's left side light whiff, do you know if they whiff bcs they have the most backwards momentum or have the worst tracking of them all?
No Im a Hito main, and Im really happy this video is up. Nothing has changed people still need to do the right read, if not they get punished same for Hito
Love these videos a lot, respect for the amount of time you put into these. I def keep these in mind when fighting a hito but I honestly don’t see them as much anymore post nerf but I still really enjoy the character.
Thanks freeze! I’m sad that two of my favs aren’t here. But Musha and goki don’t have these kinda options no way. But I appreciate the knowledge. Thanks bossman!
Hey freeze, what is your opinion on tiandi? Do you think he needs any changes (either buffs or nerfs)? Also thanks for this video, I won’t just die hopelessly to angry asthma kicks anymore 😃
If the hitokiri hits you with a light, do these punishes still work? Or it only if you block a heavy, if it was already stated sorry I didn’t hear, watched twice. Help me brothers. And do I have to react to the orange then start it, or just after a heavy throw the attack out
let me guess, heros like shug and aramusha, all the heros you didn't mention dont have any backsteps they can do?? Feels a little weird to leave out cong, raider, valk, warlord, shug, aramusha and shinobi, would just like to now if you can backstep with these heros or not
Conq can avoid the kick with left dodge bash and can trade(interrupt?) sweep. Not done too much testing on this, but from my experiences in live matches that is the best way for him to do it
I didn't know about the back light into shoulder bash but I've been top heavy trading for a long time. Also the heavy feint into gb. But now I understand why some heavy feints didn't work, it has to be side.
Freeze you are an absolute mad lad. I cannot believe this. What an interesting mechanic. I cannot believe you always show these secrets to us. 👨🏻🔬👨🏻💻 you would be unstoppable if you just kept it to yourself. ⚔️🗡
How does hito counter heroes like shaman, PK and zerker backstep heavying her mixup? Sweep can be avoided with a dodge cancel, but they don't even need to do that because the trade is so favourable for them.
A friend of mine said that (he mains shogo) that it is a little bs that he can hyper armor with his lights and said that BP needs better hyper armor on his heavy attacks.
I know this is off topic for this video. But what if Cent was able to stoft-feint his punch into a kick? Make his kick faster and remove the light attack punish. Then only allow for a non-guaranteed heavy. Boom full combo loop. Or just keep the confirmed light.
I think Hitokiri would be a lot less of a threat if the uncharged kick only guaranteed a light. Hell, even a chain starter light would be fine. But hito’s mix up options almost all lead to a heavy on success.
As hito being one of my mains this hurts to see but it was needed because her kick is basically good all the time. Shit even throwing guard break out the window and only doing kick and charged kick I very rarely miss it
Good lord the only time i've ever intentionally backstepped a attack was to get to a specific part of a combo with a character so it can't be blocked or parried. This is some big brain stuff.
@@aeroblaze4 Every time I did it was mostly either a happy or bad accident that I immediately grew out of during beta, only other things related to backstepping I still do is either backstepping itself or just backstepping into roll.

they pay big bucks and you are not forced to download this crap, just skip the ad.
At least it saves us from COPPA.
Thanks for releasing this. Now I can directly link this video when someone sends a hate message saying “Her kicks are uncountable” which I have been trying to explain for a few seasons now that this simply isn’t the case.
6:50 you mention the fact that bp's left side light whiff, do you know if they whiff bcs they have the most backwards momentum or have the worst tracking of them all?
He moves more backwards

Freeze - uploads this video
Hitokiri mains - you weren’t supposed to do that
No Im a Hito main, and Im really happy this video is up. Nothing has changed people still need to do the right read, if not they get punished same for Hito
Hitokiri is pure mind games and honestly it’s pretty fun
You think that we could get a gear perk tier list? And their combinations?
Man, the First vídeo that realy talk about ALL options. Verrry good man
Cool video series!
How will/did you decide for which characters to show the counters?
Mr Freeze please do Jorm next. Recently I've been struggling with spammers. Can't do anything.
Love these videos a lot, respect for the amount of time you put into these. I def keep these in mind when fighting a hito but I honestly don’t see them as much anymore post nerf but I still really enjoy the character.
This is very helpful and explains a lot of stuff I've experienced in game. I already love this series.
Thank you freeze. keep these series up
It's nice to see backstep attacks actually being useful for once.
Thanks for this. Getting trapped in the kick mixup sucks. Cries in raider and warlord....
Just bash the Hito 4Head
Ron Cadillac unroll is hitos learn how to counter the counter watch
Thanks freeze! I’m sad that two of my favs aren’t here. But Musha and goki don’t have these kinda options no way. But I appreciate the knowledge. Thanks bossman!
That is incredibly useful, I actually didn't know about this.
You really hit us with that Raid Shadow Legends mixup. ggwp
Hey freeze, what is your opinion on tiandi? Do you think he needs any changes (either buffs or nerfs)? Also thanks for this video, I won’t just die hopelessly to angry asthma kicks anymore 😃
If the hitokiri hits you with a light, do these punishes still work? Or it only if you block a heavy, if it was already stated sorry I didn’t hear, watched twice. Help me brothers. And do I have to react to the orange then start it, or just after a heavy throw the attack out
let me guess, heros like shug and aramusha, all the heros you didn't mention dont have any backsteps they can do?? Feels a little weird to leave out cong, raider, valk, warlord, shug, aramusha and shinobi, would just like to now if you can backstep with these heros or not
And with that, Hito went from
“I am death”
To
“Guys plz take my hissing seriously, I mean it”
not really she is still super strong
akpinar okkes super strong if you don’t know what a block/parry is
Conq can avoid the kick with left dodge bash and can trade(interrupt?) sweep. Not done too much testing on this, but from my experiences in live matches that is the best way for him to do it
I usually feint the kick and dodge on prediction when a conqueror dodge bashes my mix-up and i get a free guardbreak after, so be careful with that
I think Aramusha can actually backstep heavy, but only his top. Yet I feel like it can be GB countered if the Hitokiri feints into GB.
Not if you continue the chain, ara is GB invulnerable
What about conq, backstep light aswell? Or can he not counter?
Just the video I needed
I need this series so bad keep it up
To counter hito, I use warden, back up, get the bashing going and force them to predict, which can push them into defence.
I got a great idea, I really thought this through!
Delete the charectar
I didn't know about the back light into shoulder bash but I've been top heavy trading for a long time. Also the heavy feint into gb. But now I understand why some heavy feints didn't work, it has to be side.
How to counter selling out to raid shadow legends
eat toes ah, so you’re volunteering to pay freeze’s bills so you dont have to skip 30 seconds in a free video?
@@seraphendipity what a nice guy he is, huh? comments like his remind me that like half the people in youtube comments are under the age of 13
Glad poking the foot is very funny. Got to follow with the toe stab.
I noticed Valk wasn't in. Would her back step heavy into soft feint bash not work?
FREEZE WHAT TO DO WITH CONQ
Thank god for this series. Your the best freeze
Great that you're making it a series! Looking forward to the next one.
Freeze you are an absolute mad lad. I cannot believe this. What an interesting mechanic. I cannot believe you always show these secrets to us. 👨🏻🔬👨🏻💻 you would be unstoppable if you just kept it to yourself. ⚔️🗡
Will this be updated with the big centurion rework for him?
How does hito counter heroes like shaman, PK and zerker backstep heavying her mixup? Sweep can be avoided with a dodge cancel, but they don't even need to do that because the trade is so favourable for them.
Forget the bash, use the charged heavy mix up like Shugoki. It may not as good but hey, at least you can do something.
could you do a video covering lawbringers unblockable side heavy finisher
My deepest appreciation and thanks for this.
This game would be nowhere without freeze I swear
What if the hito just cancels the kick into a heavy attack doesn't that counter quite a bit of this stuff? Jw
A friend of mine said that (he mains shogo) that it is a little bs that he can hyper armor with his lights and said that BP needs better hyper armor on his heavy attacks.
ok ok, but why would you ever kick? How do you counter Hiro's REAL mixup? Alternating heavy timings?
Why did you skip over Conqueror? Can Conq not counter Hito’s mixup or???
if he hasn't mentioned it, then conq probably can't counter it, nah
freeze explains it at 13:15
13:16
Thanks guys. I missed it.
He literally said it at the end jezus.
FREEZE NO NOT THE RAID SHADOW LEGENDS NEW PLAYER PROGRAM I BEG YOU
I know this is off topic for this video. But what if Cent was able to stoft-feint his punch into a kick? Make his kick faster and remove the light attack punish. Then only allow for a non-guaranteed heavy. Boom full combo loop. Or just keep the confirmed light.
I would love some feedback.
You are the BAE of this community ❤️
Can you counter the kick mixup with warlord?
Don't you get a gb on whiffed kick/sweep anyway though? I assume these are mostly ways to safely avoid most feint options as well.
Yeah this is just purely escaping her (is it 33/33/33 or 50\50?) completely
so im going to guess that orochis dodge recovery cancel is too slow to avoid the sweep, and that nobus is the same thing?
I think Hitokiri would be a lot less of a threat if the uncharged kick only guaranteed a light. Hell, even a chain starter light would be fine. But hito’s mix up options almost all lead to a heavy on success.
As hito being one of my mains this hurts to see but it was needed because her kick is basically good all the time. Shit even throwing guard break out the window and only doing kick and charged kick I very rarely miss it
this is cool and all but how do i counter highlanders chain light
For lawbro u can just side dodge shove once u see the indicator and it shoves hito out of the mixup
lol Shinobi supposed to be the most agile glass cannon charater and they can't even escape this mix-up? Freeze has really done it. :)
Love the new series this will help sooo much thank you. Can you do shugoki or warden next
What's the difference between soft feint and heavy feint?
is this game still playable on pc? I reinstalled but couldn't find a match, but maybe it was just a bad time
Et tu, freeze?
Good lord the only time i've ever intentionally backstepped a attack was to get to a specific part of a combo with a character so it can't be blocked or parried.
This is some big brain stuff.
You've missed a lot of backstep counters that used to go on in this game since launch.
@@aeroblaze4 Every time I did it was mostly either a happy or bad accident that I immediately grew out of during beta, only other things related to backstepping I still do is either backstepping itself or just backstepping into roll.
Does anyone know what colour swatch freeze is using for Nobushi by chance?
Black Ice for Neutral
Shades of Kaiden for Defender
Guard for Attacker
@@fkkfreeze Thank you very much.
Valkyrie not in the video, does she actually not have a way out?
