For Honor launched - happy Valhallentine's day!

Ledging is the saving grace of this game hands down
I was playing brawl and tried to go for the cheeky round start ring out, the guy teched my guard break so i kept doing it. He teched like 8 guard breaks in a row and the last one he failed and got cast into the abyss. I wish I had recorded it.

No Honor whatsoever. I was so happy to kick his ass off.

Lawman has the stamina of an asthmatic child hot damn
Ran into someone using autoblock
it begins

How’d you know he was using auto block?

Shit like that makes me glad to be a console gamer lol

His name was Aimbotting Block and his emblem was this:

Looking it up lead me to this site:

His character was constantly left right top guard switching and would auto correct to the proper side each time, otherwise he wouldn’t move. So either someone using it or someone very good at defense pretending to use it. But why would you pretend to be using a hack on a 60 dollar game?

Wow… The lengths people will go to… Reading just a few posts in that thread annoyed the hell out of me. Why even buy the game if you’re gonna let a script play it for you?

Why Martian and I aren’t friends anymore:

Some duels against randoms. That R5 Warden had me fucked up.

Really hope they get rid of the class specific guard switch times, what a dumb idea
So is the warden’s top light actually unreactable or is it just fast. I tend to guard left against them bc of the zone attack spam

Frame data collection here for anyone interested:


@Froztey you weren’t kidding, the more I play this game the less fun it gets
The more you learn the more apparent the dumb decisions become
I also finally hit the point where everyone is playing Warden/Orochi/PK

Yeah I only found out about class specific guard switch timings yesterday and as soon as someone explained it to me I switched to Warlord lmfao.

It’s reactable, just keep your guard on top because you can parry his top light, you can’t parry his zone attack. You just have to guess when the Warden will ZAFC zone from his top light.

Even if I do think Conquerer can’t win if you play defensive and wait for him to attack, he is at least one of the better characters at dealing with the weird meta characters.

Against Warden for instance, I always keep top stance and if he does zone I dodge to left into it into shield bash for a tiny bit of damage. It’s nice and all, until they stop attacking and I lose inherently because conq too slow and parries too strong.

Hoping to see some change to parries, at least.

Conq is kinda like Yoshimitsu. He plays a weird fucking game.

If you haven’t seen the hilarious mix-ups conq players are resorting to you should, I have a good time every time I play them win or lose because he’s a fun character.

Unlocked > sprint at opponent > mix-up shield bash or guard break. Shield bash hits them if they don’t sidestep, guard break hits them if they sidestep. Can be attacked whilst running at them but if you shield bash early it has it’s block frames.

When you get lucky with the rollback :rofl:

aaaah, it’s insane how low damage/DPS Valkyrie does compared to Orochi and Nobushi, yes I know we are fat, defensive and slow, but I mean the spear should be doing more damage. ok so maybe I didn’t find the best blade for reputation 1, though still being rather slow, should reward more damage output per hit. Valkyrie heavy attacks are like paper cuts compared to warden and orochi heavy attacks.

Valkyrie is great, but at times I seriously just wanna switch to Warden and Orochi and mop the floor with ALL those assholes that humiliated me.

I do win duels, brawls, skirmishes, eliminations and dominions as Valkyrie, but its always an uphill battle.

Hi, I broke the lawbringer in half

well cya

oh wow

ok improving as Valkyrie, it seems raw heavy attacks to inflict large damage isn’t how they designed valkyrie damage output, it seems comboing light attacks generates more dps than single hit heavy attacks, that shield knockdown attack is quite useful for a free hit. still think Nobushi has reach advantage. well Valkyrie makes up for it with strong defense. I just gotta be more patient and try to block those hits.

Keep killing myself with the wall throw into backbreaker combo , never pay attention to them having no stamina and falling over

I love when people do that dumb ass Raider teabag shit after getting one round, get bodied, switch to their prestiged character, get bodied again, then leave.

Don’t you guys love when that happens?
