And monsters usually hold def for 2-3 seconds, so casting smash takes around that much time, so you have to watch out if it cancels it or not.
I don't think that counts as a fake because it cancels the skill first, you still got that split second to jump into your defense.

I had it stunned. I went in with a 1+smash and smash loaded, did the animation and during the kick part, instead of me knocking good ole golem back to kingdom come, I get knocked back to kingdom here and now. it happens every now and then and it's pretty annoying.
As for the fake, it attacks as soon as it takes out Def. So I'm running to it with smash loaded and soon as I get within 3 feet of attacking range, it takes out def and smacks me. There's no time to get into counter/def in that split second since it takes more 2 seconds (assuming there's no lag) for both def and counter to start up. It takes 1.5 seconds for WM but I'm still learning how to counter with that.
