With the latest Testing Grounds dealing with input sanitization and the removal of option selects, I’ve seen a lot of posts and comments asking what an option select is. So in under a minute, here is option selects defined and how they pertain to For Honor.

transcript: Option selects are inputs or series of inputs that force the game to select the best option to deal with the current situation. Think of them like throwing two hands in Rock Paper Scissors, but those two hands can only be rock and paper. You’ll counter your opponent’s rock or scissors, but if your opponent predicts this and throws paper, you’re SOL. While OS’s cover two or more situations, they aren’t impenetrable.

The most prevalent option select in For Honor is the Zone OS, as it’s the easiest to pull off since you just match the direction of an attack and input zone on parry timing. Why? Well because one of those buttons when you input a zone is a heavy, and when you do a heavy it parries an attack, but if the opponent feints and there’s no attack to parry - well you input a zone so the game throws that out instead.

In this case, zone OS would be the rock and paper from the earlier analogy, as you’ll either parry the attack, or the zone will beat feints to guard break which are often used to catch dodge or parry attempts.

However, if your opponent predicts this they could feint and expect the zone. There are other option selects that parry or perform a different move, but the zone option select is the most contested in the community whether it should stay or go. For more info, Freeze covers option selects thoroughly in this video.

Edit: further defining/explaining option selects to hopefully avoid confusion as many of you still have questions: Option selects are inputs (command, so light attack, heavy attack, zone attack, etc.) or a series of inputs (multiple commands, so dodge bash, dodge attack, etc.) that, in special circumstances force the game to select what option is best to deal with the current situation based on what buttons you pressed. For example, normally you parry by matching the direction of an attack and inputting a heavy as the indicator flashes. However, if the enemy feints, you still throw a heavy as the game intends. If you input a zone attack on the parry timing while blocking in the direction of an attack, you will also parry. This is because the zone attack input is a light and a heavy. However, if they feint, the game recognizes your zone input and will throw out your zone, thus making it a zone option select - the game selects the option for you (parry or zone). The benefit (from the defender) of doing a zone option select is you either parry, or throw a zone which will beat a feint to GB and hopefully start your offence. However, attackers can feint their attack and counter the zone if they expect it. This is just one of a few different option selects and isn’t the only one - zone attacks themselves aren’t an option select, performing a zone while matching the direction of an attack and throwing it on the parry timing is an option select. In the testing grounds, the devs have removed the ability to option select - not the ability to zone or to feint, but to use a zone input to parry. I should mention 2 things: yes, Option Selects seem like they’ll be removed given the devs stance in the latest Testing Grounds and removing all OS’s - but for the meantime they are still in the live game. Secondly, my comparison of OS to using two hands in Rock Paper Scissors was not a metaphor for cheating, just a silly way to show how one move can counter different options in different circumstances.

Thank you for explaining, Zanny always says Option Select in his videos and I was always so confused on what they meant

You mean, I can't just stare at an enemy, hit two buttons to stay safe, and now I need to... gag ...actually play the game?

From what the devs were saying in the last warriors den, the main reason they have to remove ALL option selects is due to technical reasons. Due to the way FH was created, the only option is to keep all OS or get rid of all OS. I know which I'd prefer XD

Personally I'm glad they're gone. They were never fun to deal with. You could've gotten big dmg but usually have to console for a mere light attack punish because you have to deal with zone attack now. The zone attack input should perform only one thing in any situation: a zone.

Really liking the direction you have been taking your channel recently, I can't express how great it is to have you educating the FH community while at the same time making entertaining content!

I think the problem is not that zone os is not healthy, it's all the other os' that hurt the game, since there's more defensive options to an attack compared to offense, like in one of Freeze's videos. It's even made worse when characters have options in their kit as well, like most characters with dodge attack moves/bashes. I just hope the devs and us as players can come to what we actually want, because it's been going on for far too long

So many people didn’t know about Option Selects or exactly how they work Well, it’s good so less people would try to use it to their advantage

Oh!!! This whole time I thought option selecting was just actually doing a zone before an attack hits you.

Lmao, they made such a big deal of removing the zone OS, but then gave everyone a dodge heavy, which will counter the unblockable, and a GB will bounce off. Also, only gives a light when parried. Literally the same as the zone OS, so well done, Ubi!
