lol ezio peace keeper skin
>>1258212>FtM Transgender PK!>PK WNBAM!Okay, but seriously, I'm wondering if this means some future hero skins will have new voiceline sets. Also, kind of a shame Altair and Conner are so often forgotten.
>>1258215considering what siege gets, I wonder why they're strict oin this
>>1258215>>1258212wait I missed this partdoes the skin still have PK's femine grunts and latin move voice lines?
>>1258217Well, if I were to guess, it might be because the voicelines and animation tweaks for this Ezio PK skin fill out the data tied to a hypothetical 'male PK'. So basically they couldn't do this for any hero who already is gender unlocked because it'd override that gender's voicelines. So, might be possible we can get kyoshin, warmonger, etc. heroskins that have unique voicelines and such.Though this also would potentially lock any future skins into the normal gender and default voicelines.
>>1258215no one likes connor
>>1258249but what about replacing shamen
it is time
>>1258249Wow, I misread that for a moment as "no one likes a coomer" and thought "was that meant for my other post?">>1258250Oddly one of my second thoughts was Spartan Valkyrie.
Highlander rework
>>1258254>get into zone>feint the second or third zone>immediatly fast flowfuck yes
>>1258254
>>1258257
>>1258259
>>1258262Warden bash changes
NEW ANIMATIONs for warden
>>1258263Backstep attack removal for some heroes
>>1258268>not kensama
>>1258268Nerfs for Shinobi, Hitokiri, Afeera
>>1258272Nerfs for Orochi and Berserker
>>1258275>>1258272this is small time shitbut I will gladly take all of itfuck every single one of these shitter faggot characters
>>1258264YUPYUPWE RUN THIS GAME
>>1258286well do you like them? they're all post bash animations
>>1258288his zone also got a new bash didnt it?
>>1258263>>1258264https://streamable.com/aetedo
and now we get to wait a week for the patch to actually go live
>>1258304Wow, everything but the top heavy is atrocious
>>1258414I think everything but 0:24 looks fine
>>1258304this looks very very hand animated from an enthusiastic armature which puts it in line with post sped up animations
i had a dream where warmonger was sleeping with storm from xmenand their exchange went something likeso what can you do>anything i wantand warmonger replied, under her breath, and that's why i have to do what i want
>>1259102thanks for sharing
I wanna go back to year 3 so bad bros
>>1259417I don'tI have been waiting YEARS for this shit
Do you have any bullshit moments?
mfw all the roaches, shitos, shitnos, and zerks queuing up before they get a slap on the wrist and say its over next week
>>1259574Yes. This happens all the time and it makes no sense. Just randomly I'll do fucking side or top heavies that will catch random walls nowhere near me. Meanwhile I can do shaolin's dodge attack that's a huge wide attack into a wall and be just fine.
>>1259596>does three less damage to you>meanwhile still puts you in constant unreactable mixups BEFORE we take into account latency>also lol dodge recovery cancels that also work on your dodge attack>which is also blue for some reasonOrochi mains will use this as a scapegoat to claim their character is bad for another year. AGAIN.
why the FUCK are there so many troon flags in eu servers all of a sudden?
>>1260178that's just the whole FH playerbasenot an EU specific issuet. NA
WAITwhen the hell did the rep limit get increased to 80?????
>>1260401This season.
When do they show off the samurai?
>tfw classic slayer, classic slayer amd classic warriorplease I don't want to play warden in dom
>>1261046but he is getting one last buff to his team fight ability?
>>1259574this happens alot for heroes whose hitboxes start behind them like warmonger
>>1259655I want them to look at his hitboxes specifically the side heavies as they are fucking massive for no reason. Also dodge attacks whiffing should be able to be recovery cancelled especially blue/undodgeable attacks
>>1261131shouldn't be able to* misstype
>>1260983In 45 days this was the mid-season patch
to eggs!
>>1263926I'll take oathbreaker off when Ubi fixes enemies getting revenge in 2v2s or after my fucking team mate dies.
>>1263930Revenge tags still counting dead players is fucking insane
Is the Ezio skin time limited, can I miss getting it? I took a 2 years long break and still don't really wanna come back, but if I ever do, I wanna play male PK
>>1267087They haven't said anywhere that it's limited time only. Whilst saying a bunch of other stuff is. I think you'll be fine.
so how is highlad now
>>1267363I faced him literally one time and the dude just spammed offensive lights like always. Afeera is also still bullshit.
>>1267363surprisingly in practice he's still mediocrehis chains are fucking AWESOME now his feints are greatthe creativity available for mixups is stylish BUT HE DOESN'T HAVE AN OPENER WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO WITH THESE CHAINS WITHOUT AN OPENERand with the loss of wave dashing it's just turtle city as you wait for an opportunity to actually get into the fun stuff
>>1267087>>1267092They specified on stream that Ezio is NOT time limited. Only the AC event is
>>1267987Just play him like shaolin.
>>1267987I just mirrored a HL for a while. I swear to god his new OS dodge attack has no fucking extra i frames because I would use it on reaction to DS's and it hit me first every time.
>>1267987i bought him and don't understand what i'm doing. I get into offensive stance but then people just instantly hit me out of it with a light before I can do anything. Am I supposed to only ever go into it when I have frame advantage off a hit in defense stance?
>>1268901Unironically go spend some time in the Highlander training tutorial he was the most complicated and obtuse character in the game BEFORE his rework and now he's even more complex OS has 400 ms lights in all directions with short recoveries which can be used to pepper opponents before thriwing in a kick (now feintable) or a heavy you can also get some crazy range with the new forward dodge caber to hard read opponents who don't expect italso the OS heavy hitboxes are massive and can be used as spacing tools to clip people who think they're far enough awayalso the new hard feint fast flow is diirrrty because of the new dodge attacks >hard feint a neutral heavy>can immediately either do a regular defensive dodge attack which hits the opposite side of the dodge attack >or instantly fast flow into the offensive dodge attack which hits on the side of the dodge Highlander is pseudo Zhanhu now
I just wanna top heavy finisher
>literally millions of decent Pirate designs to choose from>They pick a buff chinese bitch with a man face and bad outfitsAwesome
>>1269523>pick the only one that was not only successfulbut died quietly rich sellin bitches
>>1269014>also the new hard feint fast flow is diirrrty because of the new dodge attacksI did see that in some video and was trying it out. But I guess I'm not fast enough. I'm not flashing red but people are still parrying it. I'm also having an immense amount of trouble with orochi. I usually play shaloin and trying to feint the kick to parry the blue Dodge attack feels so incredibly tight for the input. Like I don't get why shaolin and HL have different leniency. If I hard feint ki stance I can let go of my heavy and nothing happens but if I do the same on high lander he throws a defensive heavy after the feint. I am only now figuring out that I basically hard feint and let go of heavy attack at the same time and it's fucking me up.
post conquerors, idk what to do with this guy
cock size chart (futa included)
>>1270125sir, r/ForHonor is that way
>Ubisoft literally created and owns the Assassin's Creed IP>An interior crossover with another game is this underwhelmingOne of the last 6 people working on For Honor needs to have a chat with big daddy at corporate to give them more money.
>>1270737>give them more money.funny suggestion, most money is either going to asscreed productions (the only big sales shareholders can see) or siege something the shareholders can see how their kids can play
>>1270737you see already.newbs aren't welcome.get hacked
Can you not delay the feint on highlanders kick? It feels fucking impossible. Trying to feint anything on him feels fucking impossible.
>Warden now has halfswording in his movesetDamn, i'm going to become a warden main.
is it me or no one really uses executions other then meta ones? I might see them in brawl but otherwise no
I remember when they revealed Afeera the Arab players were disappointed because it's a woman and the Iranian players were coping trying to convince themselves that she was actually Parisian lolAs an Arab myself I'm honestly happy that they add an Arabic character, I don't mind her being a woman because I love armoured women so much it's unreal
Why the hell did they buff highlander? He was already a disgusting menace in the right hands, now he's just a disgusting menace in anyone's hands.
Why does the game never allow me to parry the follow up light after zerker's zone?
>>1273321cuz cringelander players are the whiniest bitches on earth
How do I into Jorm? Does his rework still suck? I haven't played in like 6 months
>>1273321>>1273421>he was already a disgusting menace maybe at super low levelhe can kinda stomp brand new players because of his hyperarmorhe was dogshit and the only thing that kind of redeemed him was 30 damage light party punishes>kick was mostly useless because it's completely reactable>caber same thing>kick to caber only works on like 3 heroes>no GB punish>no opener (still doesn't have one)>useless zone>celtic curse was (is) completely reactable (you can at least full feint ot now)>slowest character in the game with no chase tool so anyone can run away from him and he can't run away from anyone if you were seriously having trouble against Highlander before his rework then that means you are just bad at the game the only players capable of being "disgusting" with Highlander were those who could consistently parry lights on reaction because that was Highlander's singular strength tldr: you are a shitter
>>1273488>does his rework still suck?what the fuck?what do you mean STILL?as if his rework ever suckedhe was an oppressive unpunishable S-tier bastard when his rework came out and only after a few minor tweaks and nerfs did he come down to A-tier where all heroes belong>how do I jorm- hyperarmor zone chain- feint your in-chain bash and either GB or parry dodge attempts - open people up with his neutral bash- feint your unblockable heavy and punish people - abuse displacement heavies for free wallsplatsbasically feint your shit just to be clear because I get the feeling you're pretty dense you are not supposed to feint moves EVERY time they're called MIX-UPS for a reason
>>1273357heavy hit reaction delays moves from you (including the heavy input necessary to parry)his zone puts you in a heavy hit reaction, which is what makes it a viable openerI fucking hate it, but I do understand it
I wonder whats more fun, the normal game block string or the western feint fest
Reminder nothing in this game would suffer if you removed any DLC character since year 1.
>>1274129I do not know why Shinobi even still exists. It's like that twitchy cunt is from an entirely different game
>>1255247>191msI'm gettin old
So I haven't played FH in like 5 years.Has a lot changed? I was a Nobushi enjoyer, is she strong in the current game?
>>1274180Every content creator calls her bad and reactable. And in the same video they eat 6 lights in a row from her.
>>1274193Lol I'll have to watch some stuff and decide if I wanna play again. I only ever play 1 character in fighting games for some reason so I hope shes still decent. Gone are the days of unlock tech sadge.
Next season leaked. Orochi hero skin?https://streamable.com/ogygzb
>>1274240hard to tell really, too many kensei aesthetics it'd be funny if it was a roach skin
>>1274263Look at the size of his weapon and how he holds it. He's obviously Orochi.
>>1274263There is a Kensei he's fighting against in the trailer, makes me think it's a skin for Orochi
>>1274273>>1274275maybe, but we're seeing a bridge and a warrior shadow like thing with multiple weaponsand if we're getting the benkei story, we know where this is going
>>1274240OK it looks greatcan we please rework / nerf orochi to be less oppressive and braindead
>>1274288God I wish. Please remove recovery cancels from the game.
>>1274282>BenkeiSo the new hero is a warrior monk?
>>1274454We know from the Y8 trailer that the next samurai hero will be a weapon master. With the trailer showing a samurai on a bridge fighting some demon guy, that confirms the new hero and skin are inspired by Yoshitsune and Benkei
>>1273591So what, if I get hit by the zone his next light is just free?
>>1274240holy kino
>>1273229I like arabian women voices so much shit gets me erect like nothing else.
>>1274454>>1274553New hero is Gilgamesh from the Final Fantasy series. JC told me in a wet dream.
>>1274645you can block if you can react in time
any upcoming herofest
>>1274942viking crack woman and fat chinese ganyu
>>1273229I go to palestine protests just to hear women scream in arabic
The Ezio skin is kinda lazy, personally they should have made PK look like she was part of the Assassins as an in universe thing
May Roadmap
Can you guys help me narrow down this list of cape pattern + symbol combinations? The patterns on the "gallowglass" category of Highlander armor are so warped you have to get creative with the choices to get something that doesn't look like complete ass.Which numbers are the best in your opinion?
you've bought the eagle dive for shugoki right?
Why does everyone use the cringe all class generic executions?
>>1275473Because I had one for free on highlander and his base execution doesn't give 50 hp
>>1275500>not having every unique HL execution
>>1275504I haven't been playing the game for very long. I just saved up enough steel to get his hero skin but I'm thinking about saving it for the new samurai if he's fun.
Does anyone know how fast the new highlander foward dodge caber is? You can do it after a light parry but how much time is that as well? 900 ms? The information hub says it takes 600 ms to do a caber toss and that the input window is 300-500. Does that mean it's exactly 900 if you buffer the input and that's why it works on light parries?
Every gender locked hero should have a swapped Hero skin since they're clearly capable of doing that.
>>1275698Monkey King shaolin is too good. But I would have 100% accepted FemLander.
I have a feeling to stick around /vm/ more just to avoid the shills and whatever goes on around the circle jerk that is /vg/
Does Cathedral just suck? Have yet to have an enjoyable match on that map
>>1276038I have yet to have a match in it at all...
>>1276038I don't know what to think about it. It's very small so there's hardly any downtime, but it also feels impossible to keep points solo because as soon as you've killed someone, another respawned enemy is there to continue fighting you.
Holy shit Vangarian is such an easy mode hero, stop giving there fucking dlc characters almost every single property. Such a dishonest character.
What are the most honest characters besides Warden.
>>1276236My thoughts exactly
Reminder even the competitivefags hate dodge cancels.
>>1276317what's so honest about >bash>light light>bash>light light>bash>MIXUUPPPPPdon't worry about honestdon't worry about metajust play the character you think looks the coolest
As cool as Ezio is, playing PK feels like CBT. Holy fuck she's terrible
>>1276311>Dodge either of her orange attacks >Recovery cancel into full block to stuff your dodge attack >Hit her with blue attack >Her dodge attack having crushing counters let's her parry it anyways
I miss event
>>1276946I can't believe they only had that event once and I was fucking deployed at the time and couldn't play it. 5 years now and they haven't done it again
>>1276558here's how to do PK>spam the directional change soft feint lights>throw in your zone>once you have them bleeding throw out your unblockable heavy finisher, feint to GB, and stab them in the kidneys >now that they're good and bleeding you can continuously access your unblockable heavy finisher mixupPK is awful in a team fight, but can be a pretty oppressive A+ tier duelistin 4v4 make sure to run stealth and ambush people in transit >hide somewhere >catch someone running past and GB them>kidney stab so they're already bleeding a bunch before the fight begins >proceed to bully them with your unblockable heavy finisher mixupshowever if you encounter a Black Prior with the passive healing feat, then just run away because victory is basically impossible
>>1277005beta...soul...
>>1276317i've never been mad at getting killed by a kensei. every single time I'm just like "damn, well played"
I hate every single DLC hero. They are all annoying, braindead and don't look like they belong in their factions. Also fuck the PooLin and the redditlanders.
>>1277166Soft feints and hyper armor are dishonest.
>>1277769unless its warden
>>1277786Warden doesn't have soft feints.
>>1277406Centurion is hype
what can shinobi do in a teamfight
>new warden hero armor looks sick>but I would have to play warden to use it
>>1277879Anything he wants. He has pins and other ways to set up ganks and can still be untouchable with his triple dodge bullshit.
>>1277924hes got new animations and hyper armor on his bash follow-ups now. havent tried it myself yet but at least there is a reason to play warden now
Does anyone else miss Shinobi's old moveset? I fucking loved my little attack.
>>1278272I kinda do I liked the ranged stuff since they tried making it like an actual Kursi sa gama
>>1278272No. The Samurai are the worst faction.
>rep 1 guy gets 10 light parries in a rowOh yeah. Cool.
I still find it funny that by the time of the "story" all three factions have delt with each other long enough to know identify the language of the samurai as "japanese"implying that the mire denizens still eventually came to trade and sell pottery to the vikings and knights
>>1255230Why haven't they made a for honour 2 but this time not fuck it up
>>1279162it'll inevitably come at some point maybe likely with a big central PvE mode no doubt
>>1279162What would you want from a sequel aside from fixing glitches? Just new maps and characters?
>>127931816v16 large scale battle game mode
>>1279339Imagine getting ganked by ten people
>>1279318No centurion no buy
>>1279418We'd get 8 characters at most. 2 knights, Sam, and Viking, then only 1 wu lin and outlander. Like only 2 of which would be new as well.
>>1279131Warden bros...
>>1279347>fail to execute>they all die to last laugh
>>1279162I'm surprised theyve supported 1 for this long I can't imagine it brings in much money
>>1279347>revenge fills up in 0.02 seconds, can chain back to back revengesthis sounds fun actually. THey should do some kind of asymmetric mode where its 4 ppl vs 1 player controlling one of those boss characters from events
>>1279318I don't feel like relearning FH1 and getting stomped by the veterans who play it all the time. We need a refresh and flood of noobs
>>1279770damn son, its not that complicated
>all I get as loot are emblems and outfits and none of the effectsI hate it here.
>>1277039I have a hard time even getting them, let alone even opening with anything without getting my teeth kicked in.
templar's grit5 viking characters have earned the drop.
scriptophrenia
ok for the first time in 5 years warden is starting to click. I now see the value in empty dodging forwards
>>1280201well that's because you now have what is basically a neutral 600ms variable timed bash.
How the fuck is Shinobi still the way he is? They have to know right? Making him lose 2 damage means fucking nothing.
Should I get Gladiator
>>1282378I don't know? How gay are you? You have to understand you'll be playing a very LGBT+ hero, and I don't want you going in with false expectations.
>>1282395Fucking a man in the ass is not the same as getting fucked in the ass.
>>1277853Pugio is not. He's still dishonest.
>>1282397Yes it is. You are having gay sex.
>>1282395There's nothing wrong with appreciating the male physique a bit too much.
is pirate fun
>>1282600I can't imagine having fun for more than 15 minutes with a character I don't think is cool at all. What a lame character. A medicore B+ tier ghost of a boring S tier character. What a lame moveset. What a lame concept. >hey what's popular on Reddit????>I see lots of posts about openers, dodge recovery cancels, and hyperarmor >yeah! give her all that shit!also fucking shit pirate character everyone wanted Caribbean bearded piratebit instead we get tranny chink girlPUT A CHICK IN IT AND MAKE HER GAY>b- b- b- but the Chinese fem pirate was real!!!NOBODY FUCKING CAAAAARESsoooo fucking laaaame and gaaaaaayCHONJA BONJA GOODJA!!! SHE TALKS LIKE A STARWARS ALIEN SHE'S SO FUCKING UNCOOLAAAAAAAAAAA
>>1282666okay I'll try her out thanks
how come i never get revenge when getting ganked
>>1283210Because the system is retarded. Same reason someone can get revenge in a 2v2. Or someone can get revenge in a 2v1/1v1 after someone dies.
This shit has to be fucking bugged. how could I go 11-1 and somehow not get 5 kills in 1 life
>6-0>still not completeUBISHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT
I've disconnected from 3 matches in a row ubishart you are fucking hacks
its funny how many balance teams, including for honor, DONT have even ONE staff religiously playing and showing up on camera to do any sort of balancing
>dodge varangian light attack>I am now punished, she could throw another light counter acting a guard break if she does the unblockable, she can throw another light and it will beat my dodge attack and guard break
>>1283543Kill assists don't count, you have to deal the killing blow. It's stupid.
>>1283870>Dodging a parryable non feintable dodge attack.Skill issue, unironically.
>>1284261The first line is you dodging her light attack. Not her using a dodge attack. I'm annoyed that because varangian has crushing counters on both her light opener and finisher. Plus full guard recovery cancels she can just press buttons and dodging her is useless unless you've got a Dodge bash or make two reads in a row.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daDMVvozUTYtotally gonna be like the cutscene for the new samurai hero
>>1284996multiple heroes have options like VG. dodge recovery deflects/superior block dodge attacks/BP flip/hyper armor. you just notice it more with VG because people only spam light attacks with her
>>1285490I know. I fucking hate all of them with their recovery cancels except for zhanhu because his is arbitrarily slower than the others. Varg also gets crushing counters on both her lights and they're both enhanced. It combined with her recovery cancel just allows her to play like a retard and get away with it.
still wishing that kensei would also get a usability pass and allow his pseudo dodge deflects to become unblockable on superior block like zhanhu
I wasted so much money on buying heroes I never use
>>1285871Zhanhu's isn't arbitary it has to be that slow otherwise you wouldn't be able to punish him like how it was when he first got a rework.
>>1286798hahasurely you mean Steel right anon?surely you didn't spend actual money to unlock heroes... right?
>>1286802Yeah could you imagine not being able to punish a character because they have a recovery cancel? What kind of idiot would design not one character but multiple that do just that?
>>1287217Unlike every other dodge cancel character, you literally could not punish a Zhanhu unless he fucked up even in a 1v1 situation because he was faster than you, his superior block dodge attacks meant that he could counter everything including GB and everything he threw was safe
>>1287225Is this not the case for dodge cancel characters right now? When you say zhanhu was faster do you mean he was faster than the standardization from the CCU?
Reminder if you used:>Orochi>Zerk>Wu Lin>OutlandersOr any other DLC hero.You did not win, your character did.
>>1287262Zhanhu's dodge attack timings meant he could CC or dodge any attack on reaction and because they were basically lights with i-frames Zhanhu was frame advantages and super safe while using them, he could also do it off of the forward dodge bash too making him nigh untouchable. Current dodge cancels require you to have to make a prediction most of the time and can be stuffed with light attacks, they also aren't as safe due to all either being light punish parries or punishable with a guard break
>>1287288>Zhanhu's dodge attack timings meant he could CC or dodge any attack on reaction and because they were basically lights with i-framesIs this not the case for every other dodge cancel character since most have deflects like orochi, afeera, zerk, etc.
>>1287295Afeera can't CC on dodge and can be GB...or at least she could be but she has a bug where she displaces you LOLOrochi and Zerk have deflects but deflect timing is different to dodge timing and can be baited and parried Pirate's all lead into dodge heavies but Forward dodge heavy is GBable on light finisher and side dodge heavies are light parry punishes,
>>1286798I got this game when they were giving it away for free and have bought all heroes and cosmetics with steel, usually doesn't take longer than a week to save up enough to unlock a new one. ubi has been surprisingly based about this game in that regard
>>1287264I won't apologize for being the greatest Tiandi player on Earth
>>1287815Then I'm not apologizing for Shaolin.
>balance changes>scrub population increasethere are a few reasons to want For honor 2, but personally, mine is getting a new execution damage model so we can actually bisect people
>>1288000>Let it dieDid this game ever get an offline mode on PC that could circumvent the awful greedy MTX systems?
>>1287815Femtandi is not a cute anime girl, she's a gross ubitard fridge with a rat voice.
>>1288271LUàNCHéN ZéIZǐ!
why have I disconnected from 50% of my matches this week. did they secretly un-dedicate my servers
>>1288248maybe one day when they stop updating it we'll get an autist working on a private server
>>1288380They're still updating it?
>>1288248>>1288395probably until the proper sequel that finally realizes the pvpve aspect of getting to the top which they've hinted to actually working on with ONE SCREENY after fooling around and pretending to be silly content creators with views lower then 10s
>>1288271Sad but true. But hey, ugly chinese people are pretty tough IRL so there's a precedent.
>>1288395they added a recolored first zone last year, 3 more to go>>1288410surely they won't chase 5 years old trends like deathverse and kill the game after 1 weekwhat screen?
>>1288000I really wanted to like let it die. I played it for a while. But holy fuck it's on another level of grind and MTX for me. I still remember when the first hunter was killed because some dude on twitch glitched their ai and punched one to death for hours. The devs hadn't even programmed their loot drops because they didn't expect anyone to kill them.
Highlander mains are the biggest crybaby bitches in this game. Holy shit you people are pathetic over your braindead character.
>deleting a post because you ended it with "," instead of "."
...seethe?
>>1286798Reminder to only play one heroMaleWhite skinnedOnly use executions where they use their weaponsTurn off effects and chat
>>1289704Holy shit are you me?
I like that every character in the game can be "optimized" with their available perks and feats for a given role. Of course some obviously have more synergy and overall potential than others.Shugoki will fuck me up a lot right before he dies because I always forget he can have both Hard To Kill and Last Stand at the same time. On top of that he also probably has Bastion. In effect he has a whole lot more health than you think he does, and that's without landing a Demon's Embrace. He fills out the role of "angry spirit guarding this shrine" very nicely.Varangian getting Speed Revive + Protected Revive + Rising Dawn is frankly kind of obnoxious. You can't leave a dead body alone when she's around because she'll instantly bring back the teammate with more than their usual max health (including the shield).
>>1290361Varangian is extremely obnoxious for everyone. The nature of her being a recovery cancel fullblock character with 50/50's already makes her obnoxious to fight 1 on 1. But her feats are like the other side of the horseshoe of warmonger's. Very, VERY strong for dominion/breach that already incentivizes her usual playstyle. Like it's bad enough that fullblock characters can babysit in ganks so your opponents get fucked for ever trying to attack, but varangian will heal her whole team and give them a damage buff and give herself a defense buff on no cooldown every time she babysits.
>Duel a Lawbringer>Shove >Shove>Shove>Shove>ShoveLmao this is the rework reddit cried for.
>Shaman festWhy, who cares about this ugly as fuck character? Shaman shouldn't even exist.
>>1291579>zone zone zone feint zone zone zone zone feint zonebro you're missing out on this engaging and cool character
>Celtic Curse is still fully reactable and the hard feint is exclusively useful for punishing early full blocks>no opener, and with backstep light removed Highlander truly has NOTHING to open with>the timing on the hyperarmor for heavies currently starts way too late>still have a 300 ms guard switch delay in OS stance makes shit sluggish and opening from a FF unviable >zone is a meme for minion clear (though impatient players will often go for the parry so you can GB them)anything else?the most important thing is that lack of an opener
>storm rush>storm rush>kick>storm rush>light attackI love playing Orochi.
>>1291469>LB having triple lights was obnoxious so we can't let him have double lights eitherHe was fine in his last testing ground but reddit had to make sure that he remains miserable to play.
I hate characters with an infinite chain of unreactable attacksI can't react I can't make the read for every single attack and my health is at 10% by the time they run out of stamina I'm just going to start closing in Task Manager when I see orochis now I just won't play against them anymore I refuse
>>1292422Orochi spamming storm rush?Light them out of it.Spamming kicks?Dodge attack, or dodge and parry their light.Neutral lights?Block them if you can't parry it.
>>1292205He's just the same boring garbage designed character he has even been. Hurr le shove and le turtling. But now he has some shitty animations wow so cool.
>>1292645What would you do with lawbringer? No deleting or making him so garbage he might as well be deleted.
How is medjay a thing? The amount of braindead characters in this game is surprising.
>>1287264Honestly i'm tired of every fucking DLC character having enhanced lights, hyper armor, unlimited stamina and or feintable bash, crushing counters and huge hitboxes on top of overtunned unique feats. DLC characters ruin this game. Especially the Outlanders, they are such easy mode characters.
Why the fuck can orochi do 115 damage with his nail bomb?
your telling me they made shaman better? Shes like one of the worst most annoying year 1 heroes
>>1293950Because Orochi is the main character. Everyone else is just an NPC to be bullied in Orochi's matches. >gigantic side heavy finisher hitboxes >side heavy finishers are uniquely 700 ms instead of 800 ms like everyone else>top heavy unblockable finisher has so much forward momentum it's basically a built in forward dodge attack >Kiai is an "I win" tool with a low cooldown>Kunai is an "I win" tool with a low cooldown >Storm Rush for some reason only has its indicator visible for 367 ms instead of 500 ms like every other 600 ms attack, making it completely unreactable if you don't learn to react to animations >dodge recovery cancels out the ass to ensure he can never be punished for anything >arguably the best zone attack in the entire game (500 ms but not considered a light attack if parried, planet sized hotbox, confirms other attacks)he's a giant baby blanket of safetyevery aspect of his kit is designed to suck his dickwhy are you asking why nail bomb deals 115 damage? why wouldn't it?frankly I'm surprised he doesn't get a T4 that just instantly kills all opponents on the map
>>1294822OH AND HOW COULD I FORGETOrochi also has an execution that gives 50 HP that kills in 1.3 secondsso it's actually very easy to land this execution in the middle of a team fight and let's tally up all the ways we can make this nastier>20 extra HP from Bounty Hunter >25 extra HP from Executioner's Respite>10 extra HP from Devourerso Orochi will often get back 105 health in the middle of a fight1300 ms kill time for comparison, the fastest killing Shared execution that gives 50 HP is That's Cannon and it only kills in 2200 msthere are 20 HP executions that take longer to kill
>>1294822>>1294926Orochi is the face of the samurai as before launch he was meant to be the vanguard of the samurai but was later changed with kensei
>>1294926I don't want to unfairly slander Orochihe isn't alone in having absurd busted unique executions>Lawbringer's "The Impaler" kills in 1200 ms and grants 50 HP>Black Prior's "Limb Slicer" kills in 1000 ms and grants 35 HP>Centurion's "Ala lacta Est" kills in 1200 ms and grants 50 HP>Kensei's "Lose Something?" kills in 1300 ms and grants 50 HP>Zhanhu's "Graceful Expedient" kills in 1300 ms and grants 50 HPKensei, Cent, and Zhanhu can run Devourer so it works even better for them
waitwhat's the point of Devourer?Remedy heals for the same extra amount, and does so without requiring an execution
>>1294822>making it completely unreactable if you don't learn to react to animationsEven the animations are completely the same until a few frames before the indicator shows up anyways. It is genuinely unreactable.
He's right, I didn't even try.I'M A FOOL, I'M WASTING MY TIME, I'LL NEVER BE A REACTION CHAD
Heroes that are cringe to (me)>Shugoki>Hitokiri>Shaman>Afreea>Vanarnian>Black Prioor>Gryphon>Warmonger
>>1295600Shugoki is only cringe because he gets to chain off whiffed bashes so you can't punish him for spamming bashesBerserker is super cringe and nearly as bad as roach
>>1295614Orochi is an odd one since if you meet a good one its gg but I have been playing since the fucking beta and I have learned to fight orochis. Beserker is odd since I left for a while right before Warmonger but I always kinda knew zerker was good with how the hyperarmor was easily abusable and now they are unstoppable I am petty because id even list Warlord or Lawbringer in that list but I barely fight them now and see they are lacking. I never liked Shugoki I hate his design, I hate his gameplay, and just his everything and im a samurai guy. I also dont like a lot of the knights and hate how Centurion and Gladiator is locked to them.
>>1295640I love Shugoki's visual design he's a huge sumo wrestler dressed up as an Oni, wielding an Oni's club I can't wait for his eventual hero skin where he'll probably just be a full on red-skinned daemon
>>1295261Generally remedy is superior yes. If stack them though its better. If you combine that with bounty hunter/executioners respite feat and a quick 50 health execution. You can heal to almost full health in an instant. Great for antiganking and executing an enemy under revenge. The massive health swing can outright save you, or generally allow you to kill the remaining enemy and win 1v2s.
>>1295640Whats the explanation of you only playing Shaolin and Zhanau but never touching the other Wu lin yet owning them?
>>1295881Marching fire expansion was the best deal some times. Then bought zhanhu.
>>1295881I always wanted a monk and I wanted a Chinese straight sword character and thats it.
Should I get Loyalty's End or No Mercy! for a 50 hp highlander execution?
>>1295918No Mercy is his fastest killing and is my go to when I just need 50 HP now
>>1295926I know but Loyalty has a much shorter overall duration.
>>1295932The way I see itIf I'm trying to get 50 HP in a fight, I'm expecting to get hit before it finishes, but if I can just get the 50 it will still make up for any attack they hit me withwhatever gets you the health faster if you opt for the shorter duration but longer kill it raises the chances of getting hit before you get to heal off the exec
>have reaction time of 192ms>can never EVER dodge or parry orange attacks/bashes on reactionI just had my friend tell me that glad's toe stabs are all easily reactable and I'm going to fucking strangle him. So what? It's not fucking easy for me. I literally only ever dodge on prediction.
>>1295996>tfw 260 reaction time it's to the point I'm actually wondering if it's a result of latency from my peripheralsI'm pretty young and in good health I shouldn't be this shit
I stopped playing shortly after Warmong came out, around the time the core combat update was being tested. I remember the quality of everything taking a huge dip: recycled heroes, universal meme emotes and executions, every match being a premade and fighting the same 10 people over and over. How bad is it nowadays?
>>1297940>recycled heroesHeroes all starting to feel the same is still a major complaint but there are still differences between the characters. Biggest problem is the new characters feel recycled.>universal meme emotes and executionsStill a thing but they did start making character exclusive executions again. >every match being a premade and fighting the same 10 people over and overThe game is actually rather popular considering it's age. Your experience may differ but I at worst only face the same people twice if it happens once per play session.
>Varangian has a 200ms recovery cancel from anything but a bash into fullblock.Literally designed to win.
Coming back after a few months break and want to play some knights (except griffon), which is the least played one currently? Is it still the Conq? Haven't played the guy since his rework, how is he and lawbringer doing anyway, I heard he finally got that hyper armor.
>>1297940Gryphon and Warmonger are still cancer but the new heroes while kinda bland arent lore rape/blatant reused assets.
>see multiple enemies disconnect at the end of matches today, think it's just ragequitting>get disconnected at the end of the match while we're breakingAre the servers dying today or something?
>>1298441Actually all the Knights are pretty popular at the moment >Lawbringer is disgusting with hyperarmor and in chain bash>Peacekeeper got a genderswap Ezio skin>Warden is much better in team fights now with the addition of hyperarmor on his bash follow ups>BP is BP>Warmonger is still Warmonger>Gryphon has incrementally become a very solid hero so he's also fairly popular Conq is probably the least popular, but I still see a decent number of ConqsGryphon should be moved to the Outlander's factionit bothers the hell out of me that Gryphon doesn't have a stance, given the philosophy of his character design >polearm using knight travels the world and learns from most of the other heroes who have polearms / greatswordsand yet he doesn't borrow a stance concept from Highlander, Jiang Jun, or Nobushi
>>1299389Bro your Centurion and Gladiator?
>>1299429Jesus I felt like I was forgetting something all assassins have been more popular since the removal of reflex guard so I see shitter Glads a lotCenturion is just a Knight flavored Hitokiri. He's probably more popular than law if not just as popular. A lot of Cents these days.
>>1299433>Centurion is just a Knight flavored HitokiriNo fucking way. Maybe if cent did way more damage, had hyper armor on his unlockable, could infinitely chain it into itself, and made it unreactable with no definite varied timing.
>>1299389Conq it is then, how was the rework? Any tips?
>>1299800Check out the link in the op for your character. It's a wonderful source of updated information.
>>1299800rework was disgustingly OP when it came out because you could make the UB heavies unparriableit's more reeled in nowfeint your UB heaviesbash people don't be overreliant on full blockget Vengeful Barrier
>>1299866>>1300004>can no longer zone out of full block>can no longer soft feint a heavy into a bashAm I reading this right?
>>1300068his rework was very stupid and boring but now he has an infinite chain of funny orange attacks he's really stupid it was a powerful, but awful rework might be the worst rework they've done
>Get revenge.>Get bashed out of everything and can't do shit.
>>1300100>get revenge on highlander>land a caber>hit out of the follow up attack
>>1298429She's the most auto pilot hero for 4v4s they have designed so far. I thought Medjay was already as braindead as they could make a hero after Hitokiri.
Black Prior being both a ganking god and anti gank is so fucking annoying. Just faced a team that knew not how to feed revenge of a warden, Black Prior, and Vangarian actually cancer the newer heroes really piss me off.Black Prior is so fucking annoying, Warmonger easy mode reused assetville, Gryphon the same crap. I really do think all kniggers are the worst.
>>1300101>get revenge on Highlander >all enemies unlock roll away and just run away until it endsbtw the caber BARELY works as a rollcatchthanks Ubisoft you lying hacks
>>1300169let this sink inBP has four (4) bashesif you can't do well as BP you're just bad at the game
>>1300192Holy shit this. People keep telling me that forward dodge caber IS the roll catch. That shit never ever works unless there like so early in the animation for rolling that they're still standing on their feet.
>>1300194BP can do a lot of things that aren't fair. Not saying I like anything about Hito's kit, but BP can light crushing counter anything red and if hito keeps charging into the unblockable he can flip it too.
slightly rework Gryphon and give him a stance >activated the same way as Highlander's stance (holding heavy from neutral or after an attack)>takes a stationary stance like Jiang Jun and Nobushi >entering the stance has i-frames>Grphon cannot dodge or block while in this stanceand then from the stance you have 3 moves available >light attacking will perform a sweeping enhanced undodgeable zone attack (just steal Lawbringer's zone animation)>releasing heavy attack will perform an unblockable overhead chop, possibly with hyperarmor (also steal from Lawbringer)>pressing guardbreak will perform a kick the kick should be fast and only guarantee a light attack, but then people will begin dodging it on read when they see Gryphon enter his stance so he can punish with his undodgeable zonethis would never happen but I think it'd be neat
Warrior monk stream when?
>>1300651not until next month it'll be 1 week before whenever this season ends whenever that is
>>1300086>infinite unblockablesSounds like a feint or get parried rework.
>>1300896pretty much
nerffffff fucking Shaolinnnnnwhy does everything he does get to be enhanced why is the sweep feintable while also being guardbreak invulnerable because he get a guaranteed follow-up feintable top heavy FUCK YOUUUUUUU
>>1300981>why does everything he does get to be enhancedUnless he's already in ki stance only his top light is enhanced. Use this to prepare a parry against shaolins. >why is the sweep feintable while also being guardbreak invulnerable because he get a guaranteed follow-up feintable top heavyThis is true of any character who can chain on whiff of which there are many. The method of dealing with it is the same. Use a dodge attack. If you are playing warden my condolences.
>>1297967>>1298507It's been 3 years and I'm still having dreams about whiffing ad profundis and eating unblockables, I'm going to fucking reinstall.
>>1301097Do it nibber. Come play with us.
DLC heroes were a mistake.
>>1301100>100gbFuck, it's not even going to be worth the wait.
>External damage>Recovery cancels>Feats >Heavy Perks>Revenge holding>Hitstun rule bypassing>Revenge shield bugAnd not to mention the other problems like lazy huge hitboxes, mid lane point generation and renown gain.How is Dominion the main game mode when it's a terrible balanced mode.
>>1302082I;M NOT ALONE
>>1302082There's basically two versions of the game being played based on character and game mode. Characters like cent, warden, raider are NOT playing the same game as characters like orochi or Shinobi. Then there's game modes, duels and everything else. Most people are still chasing the fantasy of being in a big battle but being an ubermensch hero amongst peons. So that's the main game mode.
>Dodge highlander's kick>Can't get a GB and he can do an offensive stance heavy from my GB attempt>Robotic animations>Clunky animation transitions from offensive stance moves>Unguardbreakable HA zone feint into offensive stance with 400ms lights>Feintable bashesFreeze was right, this character is an abomination.

Why did they give dodge attacks to everyone, let alone Vort?I have 50 levels on BP and not once did I think he needed dodge attacks, did the meta change that much?
>>1302807Because some characters had integral moves that couldn't / shouldn't be punishable with a GB, but the timing wouldn't allow a dodge then neutral lightBP was already perfect fine and still didn't need a dodge attack, let alone a dodge light. His flip is all he needs.Like when I go to attack a BP he can respond in so many ways >crushing counter>flip>parry>dodge attack >reflexively bash into it (if it's a slow attack)at this point the only thing he can't do is deflect
HUZZAH fellow for honor players. just came back after 3 years to get my shit slapped in nonstop. give a gladiator/warden (pre rework) 2trick some tips.i am a side bash/side light cruth abuser atm and getting shit on
>>1302948>feint your moves and then toe stab>use your stupid bash zone thing >toe stab OOS punish is back and oppressive as hellseriously I'm pretty sure Glad has the single most oppressive OOS pressure in the game>light spam>get good at deflects>feint your shit
>>1302888God I hate fighting bp. Everytime I think I have frame advantage I just know he can solve any problem with flip. Every single button you press against him you have to worry about flip and the fight is never in your favor.
how would YOU give Highlander an opener?enhanced neutral light(s) ?standardize Offensive Stance guard switch delay?>all guard switches in the game are 100ms, except for Highlander's offensive stance which is 300mstune Celtic Curse so it's more of an opening move, and less of a stupid hyperarmor retard trading move?>right side cancel is still 600ms and frequently gets parried>left side is still 700ms and will get parried 100% of the time come ongive him some way to get out of neutral
>>1303152Standardize the guard switch in OS for sure, also fix the random retarded bugs like swapping guards during a light or a dodge and trying to do a kick instead does a very delayed guardbreak.But the best idea I saw for an opener was to give him a bash in defensive stance, either from forward dodge or neutral, that doesn't guarantee anything BUT does fast flow into OS and gives him enough frame advantage to get his actual chain pressure going.
>>1303190I like that one, but devs are way too retarded and inside-the-box to do something wild like having a bash that isn't just a neutral damage confirming toolIf the patch at the start of next season doesn't have >fixes for Highlander + an opening tool>the gank / revenge rework then I'll just be taking a breakthe Highlander rework was fresh and really fun, but in my ELO most people have realized I don't have an opening move and can freely gank meALSOwould it be overpowered to give Highlander the Warden treatment for moves confirmed by landing his bashes and grabs?>if you land a Caber Toss the following heavy attack will have hyperarmor >if you land a Kick the following heavy will have hyperarmor it MUST land on an opponent to get hyperarmor this wouldn't change Highlander's performance in duels, but it would make him so much more capable as anti-ganker, an area where he generally suffers as a result of his slow moves and lack of neutral pressure
>>1303279>would it be overpowered to give Highlander the Warden treatment for moves confirmed by landing his bashes and grabs?I would definitely enjoy that. Even in revenge people can hit you out of caber toss follow ups which really fucking sucks.>but devs are way too retarded and inside-the-box to do something wild like having a bash that isn't just a neutral damage confirming toolIsn't that exactly what glad's dodge bashes are?
>>1303288>isn't that exactly what Glad's dodge bashes areoh truea move that forces a mixup on the opponent, but doesn't actually guarantee something maybe there is hope
>>1303328Honestly just fix the bugs/oversights like his hyper armor being 700ms instead of 500 and give him glad's dodge bashes.
we need a CCU level rework of all feats in the game ideally every character is restricted to a single set of fully unique feats, that way they can be individually balanced >implying they individually balance feats to begin with like Warmonger's T1
>>1255230Old For Honor was good and I'm tired of pretending it was not.
>>1304329>people dying to 3 heavies>everything is reactable so it's just a retarded staring contest >waaaaay more ledging so lots of fughrs end before they start because shugoki was near youno fuckin thanks might've been more stylish in some ways (team colors and minion animations), but hoooly shit it was so unfunalso the old perk system >opponent is capable of gaining revenge in a 1v1aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
>>1304435Yes. It was more fun than current For Honor.
>>1303975You lose a lot of build variety if you restrict everyone to a unique set of feats. I love min/maxing feat and perk combos. They do need reworking and some outright removed (last laugh, oathbreaker, 50 damage projectiles) Or unlock all feats that arent unique, or projectiles, for all heroes and just see what happens. There is a lot of potential for creative builds. Once the meta emerges, start tuning those feat combos
imagine for a moment Juggernaut on Highlander
>>1304457>>1304435>>1304329How old is "old"? I'm pretty sure there was a golden age of FH sometime after the CCU, but before the lobotomite devs had the idea for every new character to just be a 2-hit chain bash feinter.
>>1300169>enemy BP is flipping teammate>try to attack him as the BP is swinging his sword after the flip>get telepathically flipped

Amazing how none of the retards that play this game understand how strong the point generation in the midlane is now.
>>1305656Highlanderfags are really the new lawbringer fags.
>>1307461Hey man I'm not asking for jugg. I just want the bugfixes to come through and an actual opener even if it doesn't do damage like glad's bashes so I can get into OS without my enemy staring at me ready to light me out of anything.

What is the point of Gryphon? No one cares about this character, it doesn't fit in the lore after the shit narrative with warmonger. His moveset is braindead and so are his feats. He is one of the most worthless DLC heroes.
>>1308476They needed to release a character for the $$$ but didn't have one prepared due to COVID so they just blended a bunch of pre-existing assets together to make it.
>>1308476All DLC characters are worthless additions to the game and braindead. Prove me wrong.
Post characters.
This thread is full of total for honor noobs some of you guys need to get good and keep your ape brain takes to yourself or go to r/fhrants
I despise Varangian. Complete fucking unga bunga character. Why does she NEED a recovery cancel? Why do I have to guess whether or not she's going to throw the unblockable and then also guess whether or not she's going to fullblock cancel?
What am I supposed to do when someone who can run faster than my character just leaves a fight? Just give up and let them go?
>>1309382Stay on point and let them run unless you have a feintable forward dodge attack.
>>1309398I'm playing highlander. Isn't his forward dodge attack too slow even if I feint it over and over?
>>1309436Depends on how far away you are when they start running, the reason you feint is because you want to bait out a roll.
>>1309448They're not rolling. They're already like 10-15 feet away and just start booking it at low life.
>>1309436Hahahahaha I'm sorry man one of Highlander's greatest weaknesses is that the rest of the cast (including Shugoki) is capable of running away from you without consequencethis is why you run Rush as your T1 feat
>>1309556Rush? Really? That's my best option? The situation boils my blood but I can't imagine giving up double stamina regen.
>>1309577yepI've got over 1000h in Highlander and this is just the reality you cannot chase anyone you cannot get away from anyone the sprint attack is the most unreliable piece of dog shit that will never "catch" anyone you're chasing if you reaaaally want to avoid this problem then just babysit a point for most of the matchthat way if people run away they're at least fucking themselves over with all that wasted time

God I hate BP so fucking much.
I went against an afeera who played 100% reactively and annoyed the ever living shit out of me and on the next match they were on my team so I was going to follow them around to feed enemies revenge.All I did was spam blockable heavies, the afeera didn't even attack. I top scored with 16 kills because people couldn't block me. Jesus Christ.
>>1310463I had a match just now where two of them would run up to me and both go into their full guard. I can't outrun them either I have no fucking Idea what to do other than just die.
>>1310569here is how you bait them >quickly target swap to one of them and GB them out of the full block>BUT DON'T PUNISH >the butt buddy will attempt to hit you and now you can parry his telegraphed attack stuff like thatalso a similar thing to do is with Highlander's kick>land a kick on someone ganking you>immediately feint and parry the other ganker trying to save his buddy9/10 the other ganker will try to interrupt you after you land a kickexpect thatpunish thatAND STILL DON'T GET REVENGE BECAUSE THIS GAME FUCKING SUCKS ASS
Why can jorm do a feintable bash that you can't get a gb in a read, confirms a pin, a heavy and puts him at frame advantage on top of giving him a shield that triggers the revenge shield bug?
I literally see nothing but strong DLC heroes in 4v4s. This game is a joke.
>>1312221The only vanilla heroes people use are Zerk or Orochi. Fucking lmao.
are you ready for more roaches?
>>1311192The same reason afeera gets to a feint a bash that has only 566ms of indicator that can confirm wallsplats into heavies. The same reason why ocelotl gets to have the best pressure in the game with huge damage and gets to just be faster than everyone else. The and reason every dlc hero that comes out now has recovery cancels. Fuck you that's why. >>1312227I'm so tired of people downplaying orochi's strength. At least zerker gets well deserved flak.

>>1312861theres lots of stuff that is no longer reactable (for most people)if you played before the CCU (core combat update) then yes it's basically a complete different game now
>>1313956I forgot about thatwhat the fuck
>>1313992>theres lots of stuff that is no longer reactable (for most people)I love hearing this from youtubers and their ilk. They always say it about characters like glad and nobushi and the footage that plays while they're saying it is them eating 5 lights from nobushi and 3 toe stabs.
>>1313997the moves are READABLE, but cannot be REACTED too with pure reactionthat was the whole point of the CCUnow FH is a real (llmao) fighting game where you actually have to make hard reads to deal with a lot of moves
please nerf orochi so that he isn't such a faggot cunt characterplease give kensei a modernization / balance pass so that he's less weirdplease restrict which moves aramusha and kyoshin can full block recovery cancel out of

>>1314100well some of them are genuinely great both for the user and the opponent if the opponent actually knows how they work>aramusha throws an attack>anticipate him using his full block to recovery cancel out of it>get a free GBbut the dodge attack recovery cancels are fucking horseshitespecially the light dodge attack recovery cancelsNO GB VULNERABILITYFUCK OFFFF
>>1314103>>1314100>>1314097how about this, recovery cancel actions/attacks are even more vunerable to guard breaks by having bigger windowsraw versions are not as vunerable
>>1314103It still puts an unnecessary second guessing game on the opponent. Aramusha throws an attack, you dodge. Aramusha has already fucked up and you made one correct guess/reaction. Now you have to make a second one. That's dumb and it applies to every faggot ass character with cancels.
new season's warriors den this week
>>1308967how do i stop getting molested by orochi and kyoshi? still a realatively new player, i understand that they are mashing their dodge attack but i can never react to them for blocks let alone a parry. am i just bad and retarded?
>>1314328If you're facing trouble reacting to dodge attacks you need to learn which side a Dodge attack comes from so you can get ready when you see the dodge itself. Check out the info link in the OP. It'll list each character's moves and where the attack can come from. If you're facing enemies who just dodge attack everything you do you need to start feinting everything. Don't throw lights, instead feint raw heavies. Feint your toe stab.
i play ocelotl
>>1314650only people with Mexican flag emblems play Ocelotl
>>1314650I hate ocelotl.
>>1313999Like holy shit this is literally what I'm talking about. >https://youtube.com/watch?v=WCv1MUAA5Gc
>Orochi does a kick>Dodge it>Now i have to guess if he throws a light, from any of the 3 directions, a heavy, from any of the 3 directions or if he does nothing. >All because he did a bash with a terrible clunky animation.
>>1314748just have perfect prescience bro
as a rule there shouldn't be a single bash in the game that can have its recovery cancelledand if a bash is going to chain on whiff then at least make whatever move that comes after be unfeintable and only come from one direction
everyone in this match except me should get aids and die
>>1314785kill youself shartlander player
what am I doing wrongI see others dodging shit by just side stepping and shit, but I get tagged with every attack
>>1314806Dodging has I frames. There's a startup on the i frames. I think it's like 100ms or something. Guard breaks will go through these i frames unless they do a dodge attack/dodge bash. Undodgeable or "blue" attacks will also go through these i frames.
>>1314823nevermind I uninstalled. It just isnt the same game I used to play way back. shit was my jam when it came out.Used to be able to parry everything, dont think I pulled off a single one in the last hour of play except when getting ganked
>>1314832yepgenerally speaking lights are something you can probably block, but most players cannot parry lights on reaction
if they fail to add the revenge rework this season I'm uninstalling
ya know it is my proper dream, that all three starting vanguards get 2 hero skins each and Raider female hero is Red Sonja muscle woman with a lot of hair and bikini scale armor
>Samurai seasonYuck.
>>1315213Orochi season skin with an Orochi buff. Enjoy it.
>>1314797neverI am immortal
>>1315215if anything, the new skin makes him closer to kensei as a proper warrior and less fuccboi who some how has ski mask
>>1315194do you guys think there is any chance it might be an fully armored gladiator skin? or maybe a spartan-esque hero skin?
>>1315397Poseidon skin
>>1315642even more naked, and constantly wet.
>Centurion gets a 40 damage heavy parry punishwhy does nobody talk about this?
damn Cent has some really good somewhat unique shit in his kit>1.2 second unique 50 HP execution (boosted to 80 with Bounty Hunter + Devourer)>Pugio is a guaranteed (300 ms is completely unreactable) 52 damage ranged attack that chains into a 50/50 heavy finisher mixup, possibly ending in you having dealt 81 damage>Haymaker making his whirlwind spam of bashes and lights even more viable>one of the only characters in the game with a triple light chain>an astounding and peerless 160 stamina (not that great a thing to compare though since different characters consume different amounts of stamina for comparable moves)he's not a crushing S+ tier, but he's a solid character in need of, at most, minor tweakstriple light chains are unhealthy and should probably be removedI'm not exactly sure how, but I would like to see Pugio changed Phalanx should be changed because right now it's just a worse version of Black Prior's T4 in every way
Pugio>300ms activation time>25 damage>stuns for 2 seconds>120s cooldownBoleadoras>800ms activation time>25 damage>stuns for 2 seconds>120s cooldownwhat?
>love shields and axes>love the teamworking feats>can't fucking land her full block in a real fight despite putting 3 reps into herGod fucking dammit. And I waited for this type of character for literal years now playing conq, warlord and BP trying to be the shield team player but I can't handle her full mechanics. It comes out weirdly slowly for me or it's all orange all around me with double warmongers.Wish mace and shield went to a heavy instead of an acrobat.
>>1316088Nigga she can recovery cancel with her fullblock. How are you messing it up?
>>1316090I pull the analog down and she takes like a second to do it despite turning off all the deadzones and shit. I can't get the timing right I guess, now I know how aramusha players feel.
I am your god
>>1316088is this the first character you've taken past rep 1?how are you fucking up Varangian Guard? It's just Aramusha but betterthe trick is to go full block after your attacks when you expect the enemy to evade and throw an attackalso make sure to run>Speed Revive>Protected Revive>Rising Dawnfor the unique ultimate "medic" experienceget teammates back up with almost all their health and a massive overshield and do so lightning fastno other character in the game is capable of having all three at the same time
>>1316101Just can't do it, try to do it on read in team fights and I mistime it, try to bait dodge attacks with soft feints and they never go for them or it's warmonger and I have to parry. Got a total of like 800 reps on xbox and ps combined, but I just can't time it for some reason.
>>1316105No, correction, it's a total of 704 reps.
>>1316101I think this play style is funny but if u wanna win never do this shit just run default feats
>>1316105800 reps and still can't make good reads?
>>1316108it's worth having it as a secondary loadout for Breach at least>Breachwait nevermind
>>1316111Breach is fun with friends/for xp
>>1316110Oh I can make good reads, I wouldn't be able to parry lights otherwise. Just can't time this one full block.
>>1316114Idk git gud
>>1316117Already trying, but thanks.
Anyone wanna play ??
>>1315881>Haymaker making his whirlwind spam of bashes and lights even more viable>triple light chains are unhealthy and should probably be removedBack when stamina bullying was a thing Cent was disgusting. Any time an opponent ran out of stamina, I would triple light (enhanced when opponent OOS) then jab (keeping them OOS) loop and mix that infinitely till dead. Unless they could light parry/read the jab it was game over.
>>1316130Triple light chains need to be removed what??? Are u actually brain damaged
>>1316132wrong post, illiterate monkey
>>1316133What??
>>1316135I was quoting someone else. stop posting retarded namefag
>>1316135based on what you said, it is obvious you replied to the wrong postalso yeah>namefagget the fuck outta here>anyone wanna play ??noand especially not with you
>>1316138it's okay I don't wanna play with u either u suck at the video game anyway
I literally can't understand what the fuck is highlander doing half the time, his animations skip all around and he can feint a fucking unblockable into a bash into an unblockable? On top of his stupid fast pommel strikes and he gets a top heavy from a GB? The fuck is this mess of a character.
>>1316260Yes he can cancel animations in offensive stance and it looks like shit. Also he can do a 26 damage feintable bash that can turn into a pin with huge forward tracking. But don't forget, highlander mains will always tell you he's weak.
>>1316260>he can feint a fucking unblockable into a bash into an unblockablehis OS moves have an order of possible soft feints>heavy can be soft feinted to a kick or to a caber toss>a kick can be soft feinted to a caber tossso he can throw a heavy and soft feint to a kick which can be hard feinted and then throw another heavybut doing all of this is going to consume a shit ton of stamina>On top of his stupid fast pommel strikes and he gets a top heavy from a GBbefore his rework he was the ONLY character in the game that didn't get a heavy on GBif you're implying he uniquely doesn't deserve this then I don't even know what to say>stupid fast pommel strikesyeah the 400ms lights are pretty cancer and I am in favor of them being removednot much to saythey're just annoyingbest best is try to try to dodge attack out of itunless the Highlander is paying good attention then he'll probably fail to feint out of OS and parry it>I literally can't understand what the fuck is highlander doing half the timeit is not unfair to say he has the most expansive kit of any character in the gamenot the best kitbut the most diverse and large onehttps://www.forhonorinfohub.com/character?=14
>>1316265you can still option select this entire softfeint mixup by dodge attacking, especially if it's a dodge light>feintable bash that can turn into a pin with huge forward trackingoh noooo you can't unlock roll away from every orange Highlander attack anymore boohoobut you know if you see him in his stance then just light attackchances are you'll catch him trying to start a mixuphe can't blockhe can't parryhe still lacks any sort of viable neutral pressureeverything he can "open" with can be freely blocked, parried, or outright ignoredif you hate him so much then stop allowing him to access his mixupshe CANNOT leave neutral safely unless he's already 10ft away or more from his opponent
>>1316260All of his orange attacks, even if he soft feints them, can be beat by a dodge attack except for his forward dodge grab if he delays it AND you fuck up your dodge attack timing. But that's incredibly rare and latency dependent.You can also just light him out of any orange he does.
>>1316277He can cancel OS and parry your lights. Also he has a 100ms gb vuln 700ms zone. Amazing how highlander fags refuse to admit he's strong.
>>1316279He has a 100ms delay coming out of OS. He has be 100% sure you're going to light him to parry it.
>>1316279>He can cancel OS and parry your lights.if he's doing that then him being a Highlander is irrelevanthe's already a player with insane reaction time>Also he has a 100ms gb vuln 700ms zoneall zones are essentially GB invulnerable wtf are you smoking
>>1316279The zone is also feintable and he has dodge cancels. Competitivefags put him at top A tier on duels.
>>1316289when you say dodge cancels are you referring to him feinting neutral heavies to fast flow? or are you referring to the neutered form of wavedashing?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcqd2-3yVNg&t=290sWhy is shinobi allowed to get away with this.
I'm in favor of Highlander's 400ms light attacks being removed and instead making the light input perform a zoneI don't know what properties that zone would have
warrior's den tomorrow (probably)
nevermind

>>1316622It's only the season trailer.
>>1316620>Hitonigger hero fest Lol, lmao.
>>1316625I've been having more luck against hito fags latelyI realized that if I spam GB I will eventually catch them trying to open with their shitter neutral heavies
>>1316620Wait, is the new character coming out on the 3rd?
>>1316686noprobably wont come out till mid season
>>1316691Sorry I meant to say 13th. So what like July then?
>>1316695yeah late July most like
give Kensei an updatemake his side heavy finisher soft feints faster so the opponent can't option select themlower the damage on the soft feints if you must, but this is sillyand give the same treatment to Highlander's celtic curse side feints
and let Kensei do his heavy to bash soft feint in all three directionsif BP gets to do it in all three direction then so should kensei
>>1317144I don't understand why they still give some characters options from each side like afeera and others only from one side and then the others get nothing like kensei bash or how warden only gets a CC on top light.
>>1318027Black Prior deserves soft feint bash openers and CCs in every direction, chudstop being toxic
>>1318027DLC characters are the mary sues of this game. Except Nuxia.
>>1318063Yeah but there's others too. Like why does Shaolin only get enhanced lights on his opener top light? Not that shaloin needs help but what's Ubi's reasoning?
>>1318080honestly I think it makes sense, both for "realism" reasons and balance reasons>makes it easier to read an opening light and go for a parry so it isn't just something excusive to sweaty """pro""" players>side attacks are only carried by their momentum, but a downard vertical attack is being assisted by gravity and should more easily ignore the defenses of an opponentmore characters should get a single enhanced neutral light only in the top directionNOBODY should have enhanced neutral lights in all directions, and especially not enhanced neutral lights that chain into enhanced chain lightsthat just invites the lowest shitter light spam possible
>>1318097You're reasoning is fine and you have explained it fine. But ubi just does what the fuck ever. Like why does shaolin only get top enhanced light, why does varangian get all sides and both opener and finisher? Why does someone like Highlander get none unless in OS?
>>1318249because giving Highlander an opener is a crime in the fat man's eyeswe'll see if he's listened to ANY feedback this coming tuesdaythe #1 complaint about the Highlander rework (from people that actually play the fucking character) is that he has negative neutral pressure after removing backstep lighthe CANNOT fucking open
>>1318309I don't expect much tuesday. At least I'd just like the bugs to be fixed like trying to kick after dodge/light attacking turning into a super delayed guardbreak if you switch guards.
>>1318309The giant obese retard can't balance for shit. The game is nothing but the same heroes every match. It's always at least one or two Shaolin, Orochi, Hitonigger, Afeera or Varangian.
>>1318413Despite how many times I've been burned, I still have hope. They nerfed the damage on Zerk, Orochi, and other problem characters at the last update and said this is just a short term adjustment, and that more in depth adjustments would come later. The largest changes always happen at the start of new seasons.
>not only does kunai interrupt hyperarmor, but it also grants frame advantage, allowing Orochi to get off a light or his zoneif they don't nerf the fuck out of Orochi this coming season I'm gonna lose my mindthis character is too fucking muchno character should get to be the #1 best duelist and one of the best gankers at the same time
>>1318730Zerk and Orochi are still top tier. They refuse to fix shinobi and nerf Afeera. Varangian is the most overtunned easy mode hero for 4v4s since launch Gryphon.
There is a reason tourneyfags have to use made up rules for dominion. The balance in 4v4s is so fucking garbage they have to force one character usage per match otherwide every single fight would be the same 5 characters.
servers shidding themselves?
I wonder why ubi didn't do a feat rework for the most old feats yet. Small indie company jokes aside it should be like the easiest thing, right?>up the stamina gain on body count>up the capture time on conqueror>do SOMETHING with iron lungs>give come at me some damage buff so people actually use it in fights rather than just farming>give fiat lux 1 damage to kill footmen>make flesh wound and thick skin >anything with centurion march since nobody takes it>make takedown a passive with like 30 second cooldown or something, nobody falls for it once you pop the animation>up the damage on punch through, maybe make the lights superior>heal on block should get healing on parry back, no healing from minions tho>up tough as nails to like 15% >up the activation time on boleadoras>steadfast should be a passive with a cooldown that triggers when you fail to manually counter GB>give hard to kill a 50% DR since it kicks in so late>I'm not sure how I feel about regeneration, helps in certain mode but t4 is a bit late for so little most of the time>if you can't speed up the catapult then delay how soon the red circle appears after the sound signal so that people know to look out for it but don't know it's on them right away>make slippery a passive
>>1320106centurion march is redundant since Cent already has the largest stamina pool in the game maybe make it so all attacks are enhanced for a duration? something in the theme of "relentless advance"
>>1320106you can't give Hard To Kill a higher DR than Last Stand, which kicks in at 25 healthI'm in favor of buffing both
>>1320120Feats should be stronger since you need to unlock them midmatch while perks work since the start of the match and come from equipment giving advantage to higher level players over lower level players.
>>1320131then what should Last Stand do?give it a lower impact effect that can somehow be useful alongside Hard To Kill
>>1320144I can't remember how many characters have both last stand and hard to kill since they don't stack, but I guess I'd up the moment it kicks in to 30% of HP.
Is it just me or is Conq's damage without shield bash really lackluster, particularly in duels?
>>1320226it isbut frankly theres a lot of characters who I'd rather see have their damage reduced, rather than buff up low-damage ones like conq>Hito>Orochi>Afeera>Zerk>Varangiancharacters where their neutral and chain pressure is so brainlessly strong that they basically win fights for freenerf their kits slightly and cut down on their damage
>>1320235You forgot ocelotl and Shinobi.
Imagine thinking they will nerf Orochi in the season of his hero skin. Enjoy a whole year of him being S+ in dominion.
>>1320235Can they please nerf, and by nerf I mean remove Black Prior too? I am so tired of this nigger staring at me because he has an answer for everything even when you have frame advantage.
>>1320149only one character gets both I think, and that's Shugoki
Highlander adjustments / bug fixesrework to revenge / ganking nerfs to the faggy characters announcement of Kensei TG
I don't like that they already went for crossover skins even tho not every hero has a regular hero skin that builds on what they already have or a fantasy about them.Still I'm curious what other properties could use for skins. Assassin's Creed heroes is a given, Origins skin for Magus, Valhalla skins for vikings, the greek one skin for some knight, etc. What are some other medieval games they could use?
GET READ LIKE A FUCKING BOOKaaaaaaah I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING>duuuh Im gonna play Hito, BP, and Shaolin and get an easy winNOOOOYOU LITTLE FAGGOTYOU'RE GOING TO GET GRABBED BY A NEUTRAL CABER FROM 15 FEET AWAYI FUCKING GOT YOUUUUUGET THE FUCK OVER HERE AND DIE FOR ME YOU SHITTERRRRRRR
>>1321934
>delay attack to catch dodge from varangian>nope lol she has crushing counter on her dodge lights>dodge attack her light>nope lol she has crushing counter on her finisher lights I am so fucking tired of these niggers and their "you can never ever hit me unless you get a hard read GB".
>>1322153wait what?she can CC off of fucking finishers???? seriously????for what fucking purpose
>>1321778Only the best. Now do you want Archangel or Crusader?
>>1322154So you are never allowed to attack her.
>>1322154So she wins. That's her whole design.
i can finally join you guys
>>1322332Well what are you waiting for?
>lower Celtic Curse side cancel damage to 20 or even 18 (down from 24)>speed up both the left and right side cancels to 500ms (down from 700 and 600 respectively)there, now it can actually be used to apply opening pressure with a mixupI know HL haters would hate this, but frankly a light forward dodge attack would go a long way for giving him some neutral pressure>similar startup animation to Celtic Curse except instead of bringing the blade down it's just a quick pommel strikeI am NOT in favor of giving Highlander a neutral bashpart of his character is that his powerful bashes are reserved for his stanceit wouldnt feel right if he could bash from neutralsame way he shouldn't have any neutral hyperarmor on any moves in his stance
>>1322449That's terrible. You'd never open up anyone with that unless you could already open them up with lights. Except lights don't have a huge telegraph via a forward dodge heavy. People who already stare at you would just hold top block and then react to the sides. It'd be like if shaman or pk soft feints were 500 ms except you also have to forward dodge.
https://x.com/ForHonorGame/status/1800256686780817787 yeah roach stole the kensei drip
Shadows not only seems to share the same Shanghai art direction team, the game is also reusing animations from the game. Yasuke pulls off Orochi's deflect and has kitbashed Shugoki Animations, Shinobi girl takes executions and animations from FH Shinobi
>>1322629what's a good way to approach giving Highlander an opener?the possible viable openers that exist in the game are:>fast unreactable bashes>slower feintable bashes>quick enhanced attacks that allow you to access chains even if the opponent blocksthere are other ways to give him a neutral 50/50, but frankly I fucking hate neutral 50/50s the neutral bash that doesn't secure any damage is great because then it doesn't conflict with the design philosophy of Defensive Form not being a damage securing however, a quick neutral bash like that could end up being gamebreaking since Highlander could begin option selecting slower mixups>raider starts his zone>just bash him before he can even feint to his top light, let alone feint to GB or land the zonemight be too strong as a tool for shutting down the opponent's chain pressure making or some of Highlander's neutral lights enhanced would allow him to at least make it past someone blocking neutral lightsthough people already hated Lightlandermaybe it won't be so bad though now that his chain lights aren't hyperarmoredLET HIM FAST FLOW OUT OF HIS ZONE >after 1st zone he can hold heavy to enter Offensive Stance from within his 2nd and 3rd zonesthis would better incentivize people to try to parry Highlander's 1st zone in order to deny him the option to fast flowthat in turn would make his zone a slightly more neutral way to open up
Any news from the Ubislop direct?
>>1323505other then the actual trailer? nah
>>1323505we get the Warrior's Den tommorowthat's when we'll get our patch notes and stuff
what is the point of adding side heavy dodge attacks instead of side light dodge attacks and vis versa?and dont tell me it's about the input since even that isn't consistent>both a side heavy dodge and a side light dodge both get punished with a light parry punish>(almost) all standard side dodge attacks of any kind are 600ms >they both deal similar damage (12-14 regardless of whether it's a light or heavy)>but then for some reason heavy dodge attacks have GB vulnerability frames but light dodge attacks have 0 GB vulnerability frameswhat the fuck is the point?it is ALWAYS better to have a light dodge attack and every character with a neutral side light dodge attack is just stronger as a result because they force their opponent to always go for a parry in a 50/50 mixup
>>1323701Dodge heavies don't give a light parry punish.
>>1323761yes they dogo throw a side heavy dodge attack and see what happens when you get parriedmaybe you misunderstood mewhen a heavy dodge attack gets parried it will allow the opponent to hit you with a neutral heavy attackTHERE ARE EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULEthe following characters with extended dodges only incur a light attack if parried>Tiandi>Jiang Jun>Warmongerthough this is balanced out by the fact that they have more GB vulnerability frames
>>1323766Are you just saying that they use the heavy input instead of the light input? They're still dodge lights. The three characters you listed and tiandi are the only ones with dodge heavies aside from the ones with dodge forward heavies.
>>1323783Highlander's neutral side dodge attacks are input with a heavy and incur a light-parry punish, AND have extra GB vulnerability frames compared to light-input side dodge attackssame goes for Gryphon's side dodge attackssame goes for Shaolin's heavy side dodge attackssame goes for Kensei's side dodge attackssame goes for every other side heavy-input dodge attack (except for the extra i-frame ones)if you feint a bash and go for a GB on a heavy dodge character you WILL catch them with the GBif you feint a bash and go for a GB on a light dodge character you WILL NEVER catch them with the GBlight dodge attacks are just fundamentally better than heavy ones (other than the 3 exceptions) because you just lack the weakness of early GB vulnerabilityeither ALL standard side dodge attacks should have this GB vulnerability, or none of them should this inconsistency seems like a leftover of previous eras of dodge attack balance>The three characters you listed and tiandi are the only ones with dodge heavies aside from the ones with dodge forward heavies.forward dodge attacks have no bearing on thisirrelevant to whether or not a character has a side light or a side heavy dodge attackit is basically just random based on what the fat man thought would be funny
>>1323798Do you have and proof of the extra gb vulnerability? I've never heard of this before. As far as I or anyone else knows the only difference between Dodge attacks that are fast ones (600ms) and below is that ones that use a heavy input let you execute.
>>1323806I have no source other than my own experienceif I had a friend to test with I'd go and test it with themI swear to god I can never catch heroes like PK, Orochi, Warlord, etc with a Kick feint to GB mixupit works maybe 3% of the time and that's just because they probably were doing a regular dodge instead of a dodge attackand yet every single time I try this mixup on a dodge heavy character I am able to catch them in their dodge attack attempt without failI'm starting to this the cause is that the heavy input used to intitiate it is somehow being read as a parry atempt by the game and is incurring GB vulnerability where it shouldn't I dunno manthis shit is 100% real there is no other explanation for the consistency I have experienced, both the consistent success againt dodge heavies and the consistent failure against dodge lightsalso why the FUCK is Pirate's dodge attack 533 ms while dealing 15 damage? what the fuck
>>1323808*think the causeI need to proof read my shitmy dyslexia is getting worse
man if the balance here really is>well yeah light dodge attacks are better during the fight, but hey the heavy ones can executeI'm going to dissapointedwho gives a shithaving more useful tools during the fight is way more important than potentially having a more rewarding end to the fightwhat an obtuse choice of asymmetrical balanceI guess the real solution for me personally is I need to start going for parries instead of GBs when I do my kick mixup
>>1323808>also why the FUCK is Pirate's dodge attack 533 ms while dealing 15 damage? what the fuckAfeera, nuxia, nobu, ocelotl, and probably more all do this too. >>1323812I'm still not convinced this is true but I would be happy to test it with you.
>>1323814>Afeera, nuxia, nobu, ocelotl, and probably more all do this too.Christ you're rightand they all have standard damage tooI would have thought the process should be obvious that faster attacks deal slightly less damagewhat the fuck>Afeera and Pirate have 533ms dodge attacks that can execute, despite being significantly faster than the standard 600ms light dodge attacks most characters haveI ASK AGAIN UNISOFTFOR WHAT PURPOSEPirate's is particularly hard to understand since hers are also a recovery cancel tool, including the recovery of the guranteed followup pistol blast>her dodge attacks can also be target swapped mid attackUBIIIIIISOOOOOOOFFFFTTTTTactually you know what fuck it>still chains to a pin on whif, which can technically be dodged, but it's putting an additional requirement on the receiving playeraaaaaaaaaaawhy is this dodge attack so tuned upby the way I will addI genuinely though Pirate had dodge lights since this GB vulnerability shit also applies to her (and the other 533ms dodge characters)>I'm still not convinced this is true but I would be happy to test it with you.I might just take you up on that offerbut now it is time for bedhopefully the fat man delivers good changes tomorrow
>>1323824I just had my friend get on. He used Kensei and I used highlander. It didn't work any single time with any amount of frame advantage. We tried it from neutral, after I got a light (DS, and OS), and after i got a heavy (DS, and OS). I made recordings even.
>>1323831I'm going insane I guess
>>1323833Yes you are cat poster.
>>1323844I think in live matches against opponents who don't know it's coming it tends to work or something maybe I don't know THE MIXUP WORKS ALOT>I'm just insane and it was people trying to dodge for a GB punish the whole time I'm going to pay very close attention next time I play
>>1323849If they're inputting the dodge attack ASAP then it wont GB them. The only examples I know that will beat that are characters who have a soft feint after heavy blockstun. For instance if you're playing Cent or Zhan and your enemy blocks your raw heavy your unblockable attack can be soft feinted to GB and THAT will beat a buffered dodge attack.
>faced a cheating warmonger in dominionYes I totally believe you went 22-0 and literally never took damage unless it was from feats.
>>1323862>cheating Warmongerlayers of faggptrydescribe their emblem? did it look like the flag of an African nation?
>>1323865No it was just typical edgy skull shit.
How can people say shaolin is good for dominion when he has 1 good feat compared to shit that team wipes?
Why the fuck is orochi's back dodge different? On highlander on everyone else if you get medium or heavy hitstun and go to OS then throw a caber as soon as you can it'll beat people doing dodge attacks on prediction. But not Orochi, if he does his back dodge attack I can see my arm going right through the faggot's chest as he hits me.
>>1323881>broken healing feat that needs to be nerfed>tracking thing can be placed at enemy spawn>blink is just good guaranteed damage and can be used both as a way to initiate and during the fight to reverse the flow>blessed projection (I think that's its name) is an amazing clutch tool that can either deny or secure a "enemy team is breaking" moment he has hands down the best utility feats in the game they don't just kill the enemy, but they're consistently useful at giving you the upper handI miss the days when Shaolin was not only not hated, but a respected read based character. I hope they nerf some of the unhealthy parts of his kit because I love his character concept, both mechanically and narratively.
>>1324117I think shaolin is balanced just fine for duels. He doesn't break rules of the game like characters with recovery cancels. I'd fix his flicker bug but everyone should have that fixed. Also the wonky hitbox on sweep being stronger depending on which direction someone dodges should be fixed/changed too. >tracking thing can be placed at enemy spawnIf I could swap any of his feats I'd swap all three but his third. Knowing where the enemy is going, if you manage to sneak past everyone to slap the trap in the spawn, is nothing compared to some other tier ones. Like utility is cool and all but the best utility is just fucking killing the enemy.I wouldn't mind every other character with retarded broken feats like Warmonger or furyflask getting brought down to his level but that would be a much bigger task than I think the devs are willing to do.
>>1324122running blink is worth it for the potential of ledging unaware enemies that are standing by a ledgethat shot is way too funnyalso I would nerf the generosity of his sweep mixupEITHER>make the sweep unfeintable OR>remove the chain top heavy on whif that denies GBsbecause both of these together make the sweep far too stacked in the Shaolin's favor in terms of risk rewardif you throw out the sweep and the opponent reacts / reads accordingly then you deserve to eat the GB punish in that same vein Highlander's kick not being GB vulnerable if he just instantly starts another kick should be fixed no one wonder people just dodge attack everything he does in Offensive Stance with bugs like that
>>1324138The sweep 100% should remain feintable. I'd be fine with removing chain on whiff. Which again, like flickering, isn't a problem unique to shaolin. Chain on whiff should be removed for everyone same as recovery cancels. If you guess right once you should not have to guess right AGAIN.
>>1324149another alternative is making the follow up heavy an unfeintable move that incurs a light parry punish speed it up if you must
20 minutes from Whore Ears Dint
the new Orochi skin has to be the best looking samurai fashion in the gamethis really is going to lead to me having to fight 3 roaches in every single matchTHEY BETTER INCLUDE OROCHI NERFS OR THIS GAME BECOMES UNPLAYABLE
>>1324302So we're not gonna see anything about the new hero?
>>1324310nopejust like last season>season started with seeing Highlander skin>didn't see Varagian till mid-season
new BP weapon skins have a sort of Minoan + Volcanic aesthetickinda neat
lmaoooo
>>1324320westerners are bullsjaps are onischinks + affreta are dragon and bird
it's just gonna be nothing Orochis, Zerks, Afeeras, and Varangian Guardthese stupid faggots
MOMENT OF TRUTHTIME FOR FAT MAN
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
THEY'RE BEGINNING THE FEAT BALANCINGTHEYRE NOT EVEN DOING A TGIT'S JUST GOING LIVEFAAAAAAAT MAAAAAAAAAAAAAN
I swear to god if there's nothing for warmonger.
>>1324342goddamnit
God bless this fat bastard for finally getting around to this shit>>1324348>>1324342>oh wait these are the ONLY feats they're balancing in these tiershalf measures...
>Oath Breaker now ONLY strips current shieldsgood
>>1324354>flask nerfed>spear storm fucking deleted>WARMONGER COMPLETELY UNTOUCHEDHOW
>>1324360amazingI guess I'm just going to run the healing circle 80% of the time now on Highlander>had three loadouts with each one using a different T3>all of them felt viable and had their role on different maps / modeswho knowsmaybe it's not too bad in practice
>>1324362*T4
No bad feats getting buffed is gay
>>1324364>Iron Lungs still does nothing>that one that makes you automatically counter GB is still completely uselessyeah pretty sadthough surely this is an indicator that more feat changes can happenwe havent had feat changes in ages
alrightcome ongive Highlander some kind of openercome on fat ass
>>1324370hes doing good in numbers, no need for chhhhhyaange
ohoh that's it for character changes???? >no nerfs of any kind to Orochi (except for indirect ones for Kiai and Fear Itself)>no fixes or anything to Highlandermost of what we got was greatbut they did not address my biggest pain pointswhat a fucking shame
>>1324388They even brought up specifically that dodge recovery cancels are a huge pain point and that they're well aware of the bugs affecting highlander as they were talking about nerfs to spear storm.
wait a minute>not a single mention of the rework to Revenge and gankingoh nooooh noooooit's not even coming at the mid season is it
I need the backflipping crab
I was telling my friends that like fighting games that this season might end up being a great time to start playing if the ganking rework came out, but now I'll tell them that it should continue to be avoided
There's nothing more annoying than a teammate ruining all your punishes and constantly hitting out of of them. The enemy might be this close to death, you GB them for execution and it just goes out the window because he ran in and started throwing heavies from your side and bashing whenever you parry or GB.And even if you survive that, the teammate dies and you're about to finally finish the guy alone he starts teleporting like he's playing on mcdonald wifi.Those fucking MONKEYS
>adding an Orochi skin>but not nerfing Orochi>Kiai nerf does nothing because now all they have to do is wait for you do do a single mixup and suddenly you're low enough to drain your stamina>Fear Itself's nerf is so tiny it might as well not have happened>no nerfs to Warmonger's feats despite her feats being some of the most gamebreaking shit in the game>none of the nerfs to ganking from last season's TG are being addedsee you next seasongame is going to be unbearable garbage for at least a couple weeks
>>1324705They won't risk losing sales by nerfing a character as his skin is about to come out.>no nerfs to Warmonger's feats despite her feats being some of the most gamebreaking shit in the gameIt wouldn't be so bad if people stopped being brain dead and tried stay away from each other after someone gets infected.
>>1324689This is a 1v7 game, but you can't kill three of the enemies.
>Making Orochi worse :/>He's perfectly balanced in duels right now. In fact, he was even before the damage nerfs.>I honestly think orochi is perfect where’s he’s at right now>Orochi rework was a clear success.https://www.reddit.com/r/CompetitiveForHonor/comments/1ddjgz7/orochi_rework_30/These are the people who are listened to most by the devs. Orochi is perfectly fine and shouldn't be changed mmkay.
>zerker gets enhanced dodge attacks removed but not orochidon't want to hurt your new skin sales eh jc
>>1324781Yes. Get fucked.
>encounter a warden that lets his chain heavies fly>can't parry themWhat the fuck, that used to be like the easiest thing. I guess I haven't seen people let them go outside of ganks for so long my muscle memory just ignores them and waits for the feint into GB.
Okay so Afeera, Ocelot, Orochi, Zerk are still S+ tier.Shinobi still breaks the rules of the game with double dash and backflip.Tiandi, BP, Shaolin, and Hitokiri are still unfun as fuck to fight to right down unfair.There is literally no reason to not pick a S/S+ tier character for dominion because non broken characters are so far behind you're just asking to lose.So enjoy yet another season of nothing but Afeera/Orochi/Shaolin/Varangian. Because your main is not designed to win.
>>1324834they sped them up quite a bit
>>1324750They are the reason the game is currently in a worse balance state than pre-CCU. I fucking dare Ubi to show win rates for all heroes.
>>1324903>a worse balance state than pre-CCU.holy shit how deluded can you even be?pre-ccu had a nice chunk of heroes not even allowed to attack because they lacked ANY opener AND all their fastest shit was all reactable
>>1324910muh sovlmuh rose tinted glasses
>>1324910And it still was more fun than modern for goner.
Buy the skin and play orochi or enjoy losing lmao.
Caber toss is fucking broken in ganks what the fuck.
>Try Dominion>Enemy team has Shaolin, Ocelotl, Pirate and Varangian.>Literally can't do shit because everyone is spamming dodge attacks that can't be guard broken.>Eat shit due to all the retarded external damage>Can't do shit in revenge because i get bashed out of it or a simple gb means your revenge is gone.>LoseDead game mode.
>>1324954what do you propose be done about it?
>>1324963Highlander not sliding 10 meters across the screen would be a start.
>>1324967but its ALL he has! he needs an OPENER TOO
>>1325457Nigga you can just light him to interrupt OS.
>>1325457I love the implication that some characters simply don't deserve even one opening move
>>1325516The only people who say otherwise are the same fags who think the game was better before the CCU. Ya know, the kind of person who thinks things like Shugo instakill was ok.
>>1325457>he needs an OPENER TOOyesevery character needs an openerif they can't open, and can only access their chains by reacting to the enemy's offense, then playing that character will boil down to just staring at your opponent and waiting for them to do somethingit is WILD to me that you think a character without a single viable opener in a fighting game is somehow okay
>enemy team is breaking>last player alive>whole team comes over to kill him>not caring a whole lot, even if he gets revenge he's not good enough to clutch it>suddenly enemy team is no longer breaking>someone left the match and the bot came back alive for some fucking reason and back capped usWe still won but what the fuck.
>>1325670>he feel for the reverse bulgarian-ukrainian bot quit switch swapThe oldest trick in the book.
>>1325781God I want fuck Toot's ass through her mouth.
>>1325457How about i don't eat 2+ heavies on the ground because i didn't dodged the highlander softfeint into caber toss in a gank huh.
>>1325900Highlander's toss doesn't even reset anti gank damage. You should be bitching about stuff that does like orochi with storm rush which if there's two of them can literally kill you from 100 to 0 with no chance at revenge.
is ocelote good?
>>1326026He's tied for S+ tier with Afeera and Shinobi.
>>1325900seconding what the other guy saidnot only does it not reset pins, but it also doesn't have any revenge lock framessimply hit the highlander out of his stance and you wont get grabbed>but Im already fighting another opponent while getting gankedthen focus the highlander if this is such a big concerncertainly far from the most egregious pin in the game>Medjay is still spamming his revenge locking pin grab that applies a -20% DR debuff >>1326026completely brainless infinite chain of orange attacks and lightsjust keep mashing buttons and watch your opponent fumble to guess what comes out nextI would say Ocelotl is tied with Hitokiri when it comes to a rewarding button mashing playstyle
wait what the fuckwhy are Highlander's finisher heavies 600ms? I don't understand, especially while still dealing regular heavy finisher damagewhy are they so absurdly fast, especially when most characters' finisher heavies are 800ms or slower, with a few rare exceptions of 700msI've played basically nothing but Highlander for the past several hundred hours so I never really realized this discrepancy. I'd much rather have his heavy finishers slowed down to something like 800ms or even 900msno wonder feinting his heavy finishers to GB never catches anyonemost players have't even started up a parry by the time your feintable window has ended for the heavy finisherare there any other characters in the game with 600ms finisher heavies?
>>1326111>That picGod I love stance based heroes. I hope the new samurai is one too.
>>1326586he almost certainly will since they're going to be some sort of "weapon master"
>>1326588Check'd. Also I'm afraid they'll make him a dual wielder and then just tie his other 5 or so weapons into feats and executions.
>>1326593I'm expecting something like how Medjay is set up, with it not being a held stance, but just different modesmaybe they'll do something CRAZY like giving him 3 modes, perhaps each mode being focused on different properties>two handed weapon mode focused on sweeping attacks>dual wielding mode focused on fast attacks>finesse one handed mode focused on mobility
>>1326648Anon stop hyping yourself up. They don't do unique heroes anymore.
>>1326901dont worry, all modes have a dodge forward bash
>>1326901based on his shadow / silhouette we've seen so far we know he has at least 4 weapons on his personlooks like he'll also have some sort of oni theme to himmaybe the new hero will be themed as some angry daemon of war
>>1327962>>1326648>>1326588here's what we know>weapon master>carrying several weapons>a variety of Japanese swords are scattered all around our little shitter Orochi sitting there>Ubisoft fucking LOOOOOOVES to reuse animations whenever possibleso I think it is 100% in the cards for this new character to be a monstrous conglomeration of Kensei, Orochi, Aramusha, and Kyoshinmode 1: odachi (steals moves and animations from Kensei)mode 2: dual wakizashis (steals moves and animations from Aramusha)mode 3: katana (steals moves and animations from Orochi and Kyoshin)switching modes involves him stowing and drawing a different weapon from his backeach mode is super limited in comparison to the hero that it's stolen from, but as a whole you have way more variety for tackling different situations
This is the first battle pass execution I've ever brought, it's just fun to use especially with the thunder and frightening effect for maximum weaboo
>>1327988>>1326648I have a theory, based on the previous april fool's event, that it might be possible one of his feats will actually just be 'take and use the weapon of an opponent you defeat' giving you their moveset.Oddly, I could also see this feat as being passed over a lot because just gaining the movesets of another hero even on command doesn't seem like it'd be that helpful in a fight. At best, being able to 'drop' the moveset and switch back to your default one would offer a chance to throw your opponent off in a fight for a few seconds if that.
>>1315291I mean, his facial protection amounts to just a cheek and chin guard, so it's not that much better than the ski-mask menpo. Also most of Orochi's armors still are pretty practical. Shinobi and Kyoshin are closer to 'samurai fuckbois.
>get someone halfway dead>team mate shows up and spams the shit out of them>instantly fed 99% revenge>can't fucking kill this guy anymore because one hit will give him a full bar>team mate is completely incapable of doing any damage by himself even when I'm spamming indicators>team mate eventually dies>enemy orochi shows up and does his funny haha infinite gank glitch:^)
>>1327962>angry daemon of warShura confirmed
Up
>>1328671Nigger the thread hit the bump limit a while ago.
>>1328705secretly a cent execution given to everyone
>>1328715I wish it had a different finisher depending the faction so it'd be more fitting on other heroes that use their hands and feet like Jorm, Tiandi and Shaolin
I tried Ocelotl and while his bash is fucking insane the rest of his "chain" is fucking reachable and easy to parry (zone or heavy). Is there something I am missing?
>>1328840I meant reactable not reachable I need more braincells
>>1328705damn what an unsatisfying ending, should end in a shoryuken that ragdolls them 100ft into the air a-la the cannonball one
>>1328844400ms lights aren't easy to react to and his chain heavies are faster than orochi, ideally you want to mix up his options to keep up the pressure and you have plenty of options to keep them in the blender, if you find that your chain heavies get parried a lot do mixups with the bash
>Play dominion>Enemy team has matching emblems>Afeera, Shaolin, Ocelotl and OrochiLiterally no reason to stay, i swear this community bitches about overpowered heroes but they love to play them and be as unfun as possible.
>>1329536>the community is 4 people.
I wish I could tweak conq a little, hopefully this wouldn't be completely broken>light opener stays as is, light chains become enhanced>opener heavy regains the block property, chain heavies go back to being undodgable, then become unblockable instead if charged>you can zone out of full blockHopefully he'll be the next knight to get a hero skin, either a better take on a bandit lord or some sort of penitent crusader fanatic.
>order to clear 6 brawl matches>4 matches in a row end in a ragequit d/c so I get no creditnice game fatass
>>1329569Literally your own fault if you are doing orders in pvp. You do pvai for orders and it takes 2 games to get 20 caps, 24 kills, 600 renown, 5 revives. etc. Always choose the shard, thank me later
>>1329968Or just play Breach, except for caps.
I haven't played since the chinks released, who should I get? I remember almost nothing so it's like I'm playing a 'new' game
>>1330002Varangian Guard
>>1327962Tons of characters carry weapons that they don't use. Afeera and Shinobi come to mind right away as both have sheathed swords. Stop hyping yourself up.
>>1330024Havent tried him yet but armor looks very cool ngl
>>1330115>him
>>1330024Why would you recommend that anon VG over Afeera?
>>1330002There's several turbo easy mode shitter characters who will suck your dick and fold your laundry. Personally I recommend just picking whatever character you think looks the coolest and sticking with them.shitter cocksucker characters >Orochi>Afeera>Hitokiri >Varangian Guard>Shaolin>Tiandi>Berserker >Ocelotl>Warmonger>Black PriorSome of the characters are technically better than others listed, or take more effort, but at the end of the day they'll enable easier victory.But just pick a character you think looks cool and don't put anymore thought into it. It doesn't really matter if I think your character is for shitters, as long as you think they look cool.
>>1330212VG is simpler to play and do well with plus VG's full block is a good tool in ganks especially at lower MMRs where thoughtless cleaves and shit are everywhere
>>1330237I've only found Afeeras that just light + bash + heavy, maybe I've been lucky to avoid the cancer for now
>>1330251The flip makes Afeera hard to fight if they know how to use it as a mixup tool rather than just as a dodge cancel.
>>1330251That's not even the half of it. She quite literally has everything in the game except for an all guard and hyper armor. Even that is tenuous at best since her unique feats have some. Crushing counter lights for openers AND finishers, undodgeable orange mixup, neutral bash that can be feinted AND used from any distance and still feinted. Recovery cancels that chain into each other and give her the option of a dodge attack OR a dodge bash. Ridiculous punishes off of fucking heavy parries if you're near a wall on your left. I'm also pretty sure she still has a glitch that lets her dodge diagonally which makes her almost untouchable. Did I leave anything out?
Is there anything the Conqueror can do that Black Prior can't do better?Spoiler: no, get fucked conqtards.
>>1330212>>1330237Just to add some chaos to both of you, what about recommending Ocelotl?
>>1331353You'll only get mileage out of TLAWILLI man if you're good.
>>1331375Not even. You can just unga bunga because his lights are just fucking faster and you can hyper armor on a moment's notice with his zone to catch people trying to dodge your chain bashes which are also fast as fuck.
Who's your main?
