xRyudo posted...Countering with Hidden Blade in AC1 was actually extremely hard and required perfect timing unlike the games that followed up. Altair didn't have armor covering his arms, so each hit would hurt you badly.
But countering Templars in AC1 with the Hidden Blade made real quick work of them rather than spending a long time trying to fight those dudes. (Especially in the last area where you have to fight many Templars at once).
Altair =/= Ezio, Altair is cold-blood while Ezio's more flexible, as well as of course different set of armor during that game. And also, Hidden Blade's timing is extreme small that you only react as soon as blade is about to kiss Altair's face.
