Counter is the hardest move to master in any fighting game, and Bleach: Rebirth of Souls, it is no different. The game offers guarding and reverse actions to throw your opponents away, but to truly deal damage, you must learn the counter moves. This guide will take a look at the counterattack in Bleach: Rebirth of Souls.
Execute Counter In Bleach: Rebirth of Souls
The counter technique is known as Hoho, you must execute Hoho at a precise point to counter your enemy’s attack. The dedicated button to activate Hoho in Bleach is (L2 + X), where the game states: Trigger by using the Reverse Gauge, instantaneously move behind your opponent. The game offers three varieties of Hoho style to master the combat:
Normal Hoho – The standard Hoho will consume your Reverse Gauge and put you behind the enemy instantly. As long as your Reverse Gauge at the bottom is full, you can execute the common Hoho. A perfect maneuver to get behind your enemy to start your attack.
- Best to use the normal Hoho to get out of tricky situations.
- Perfect for creating confusion, as you will instantly move out of their way.
- Normal Hoho should be reserved for escaping.
Follow-up Hoho -You can also execute Hoho right in the middle of a combo. If you are feeling like you are about to lose your combo, then you can execute Hoho in the middle of the combo to extend it with a follow-up attack.
- The only valuable aspect of the Follow-up Hoho is the offensive ability to push for more combos. If you are dominating the combat, executing a Follow-up Hoho in the middle of the combo will expand the duration of the running combo to land more hits.
Timed Hoho– Now here comes the difficult Hoho move, you must execute your Hoho at the right time. While the counterattack for Timed Hoho will play about the same as a Normal Hoho, you will get a neat animation and a slow motion shot. Timed Hoho functions as a parry move from any combat-oriented game. You must hit Hoho just at the right time, at the end of any attack animation. Easier said than done, like in any fighting game, counter is the hardest move to master.
- The sky’s the limit here, people have done Timed Hoho against Awakenings. You can counter pretty much anything, but the timing has to be perfect.
- The timing windows on attacks will be different, practice is the only way to master the art of Hoho in the game. Hit the training section and start practicing the skill against multiple opponents to get the gist of the move.
- Remember, a successful Timed Hoho will result in a slowdown of time and an animation of your character going behind the enemy. And also seeing a shock in the eyes of your opponent.
