Im new to this game (but not beat em ups in general). Im finding it hard to time my Dodges to get Deflects when I'm comboing an enemy. It feels like bosses like the forest champion will wind up a hit and hold it for an unusual amount of time before attacking. It reminds me of facing Margit in Elden Ring.

Any tips? Im playing with the sword lady. Often what happens is ill see the wind up and if I stop attacking to try and time the dodge I end up dashing too early, but if I wait til the last second I dodge too late.
