How do you dodge in Batman?

I am wondering how to succesfully dodge knife attacks. The "normal" approach of pressing Y does not work. Instead I stun the knife attackers by pressing B and hope to hit them fast enough KO via excessive X pressing. This assuming that I hit them first before they hit me though.

Hence: How am I supposed to dodge a knife attack once this glaringly red alarm icon appears?

There is no direct counter to the knife goons in Arkham Asylum.

You may JUMP over them to continue your combo to another goon, or you can CAPE STUN them to open them up to direct attack.

A good strategy when fighting a group of enemies that contain 'special goons' ( knife and stun wielding ones ) is to build up your combo until you have a yellow move and do an instant takedown or body throw on the blade goons.

My favourite is by far what tiddy mentioned, the instant takedown or throw to clean them up before you even get the "red alarm icon".

In a pinch, you might just want to use the invincibility you get from using these special moves. Don't hesitate to pick up unarmed thugs if you are about to lose a combo. You can also pre-emptively throw unarmed thugs at the armed ones.

In addition, you might be interested in dodging away from the knife weilding thugs (followed by batclawing them and jumping over them, or maybe engaging other thugs).

The description should be in the WayneTech menu, where you get the upgrade. It works the same as it did in both Arkham City and Arkham Origins, so, if you have either of those, you can also look at the WayneTech menus there if they have descriptions that are easier to understand.

But basically: during the entire attack, hold the WASD keys to move in a direction that's roughly away from the attacker. A bladed attack consists of three or four swipes (three for normal thugs, four for ninjas and brutes). Prior to each swipe of the blade, begin holding the counter button (right mouse) and hold it throughout that swipe. After the swipe is complete (but not too soon, or you'll get hit), release the counter button and immediately press and hold it again before the next swipe.

You can think of it as performing a separate hold of the counter button for each swipe.

Also, technically, the first swipe is more forgiving than subsequent swipes. If you're not holding WASD during that swipe, but hold it for the rest, you'll still come out ok.
