You don’t need a clean hit, you constantly threaten this from the games neutral. You cannot compare this to game to traditional fighters, they don’t operate on the same level. I’ve already said multiple times that the games defensive systems are all reaction based and certain characters are literally breaking the foundation that the game is built on. The Lawbringer, Valkryie and Conqueror can threaten “mix-ups” that don’t bypass the entire system. If only 4 classes in the game can threaten attacks that you can’t block, tell me why I should bother picking anybody else. There is no reason, because the games balancing is terrible.
The only strong characters in this game are ones that can bypass the entire defensive system because it’s too strong. Parrying is too strong, parry/feint OS is too strong, heavy attacks are useless, GBs are impossible to not tech because the window is huge. Nobody wants to play a character that runs the risk of being parried or can’t open the opponent up, so they have to play characters who can break the system and play a single player guessing game at high level. Warlord headbutt, Orochi zone, PK zone, Warden zone coupled with their fastest attacks make them have 50/50s from every initiation.
This shit is gamebreaking and meta defining to the point where picking another character is a handicap, I don’t know if the game has a hidden MMR stat but I’m managing to keep an 85% W/L with the Raider at rep2 and the only characters I fight in duels are ones who can bypass the defensive system.
So I popped back in because I heard there was some shit going on. Oh, man, there’s some kind of Dominion event? Better check that shit out!
Annnnd three Wardens, two Orochis, a Warlord and a Peacekeeper immediately. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Also, the game froze when my team won and I didn’t get anything out of the match despite the server starting to show me my Ace reward points, indicating the game was over and the system should not consider me a ragequitter. And when I started it back up, it somehow booted twice and killed my frame rate.
Fix your shit, Ubisoft. In the meantime I’ll be here playing Garou. Because as shit as that Steam release of a literal pirated rom file of an ancient game by a shitty company that have no fucking idea what they’re doing is, at least it doesn’t crash, boot twice or randomly stop working.
The peacekeeper is retarded if you’re trying to fighter her with a character like conq. It seems like no matter what direction she dodges in she avoids any attacks so I’m forced to play defense against her lightx2 nonsense. If I block correctly I have to guess between using guard break or light attack, if she attacks again after I block my guard break will lose but I can usually interrupt with 1 light attack which leads to her being able to dodge or attack again depending on what I do. If I go for a guard break and she dodges I win and get a free heavy but she’s free to dodge or attack after my heavy hits. Not to mention that the peacekeeper does way more damage per exchange because my slow, high damage options are not as viable. I can take a huge risk sometimes by charging my chain and parrying into a heavy but it’s just more likely going to get me killed.
I have to guess right way more than the PK has to because I’m forced to use low damage attacks. The only way to deal heavy damage is to risk a parry. She’s basically faster and stronger than my slow character.
I had a Skirmish team that fell asleep at the wheel. Popping the hell off (because we did rightly scrape the other team), while the Warlord gets up and casually starts roaming for powerups. Thankfully I caught up before he got das boots. D:
Nothing is. Peacekeeper being in the game literally makes the game unplayable and unwinnable unless you use her. In fact, her being in the game means you might as well put the controller down once you get to the title screen, because no one has ever beaten a good Peacekeeper and no one ever will. You idiot head.
I’m sensing sarcasm here, I’ll be learning some more characters because I focused too much time on the shield characters. I don’t think they fair well against the PK from my experience.
Warlord and Conq can deal with any shenanigans with allblock
You don’t have to pretend a character isn’t fucked to still enjoy the game or play them. I abuse shugo phantom hit all the time but you’re not gonna see me telling people that it’s good for the game, or telling people they’re wrong for bitching about it. Same kind of Gootecks style “tiers don’t matter” nonsense when they clearly do. Especially when other character’s bs (like Kensei’s side dash into top heavy) gets removed. If it’s good, use it and abuse it, but don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining.
Shrugs everything said off with underhanded sarcasm trying to sound smart. Lol.
You don’t even need to listen to me, just watch any high level play and you’ll notice a pretty telling pattern of what currently runs this games meta. (It’s attacks that you can’t react to if you didn’t guess I know you may struggle to comprehend.)
Warlord/Conqueror can get around it due to fullblock. That’s you’re only counter. Hope you enjoy being funnelled into like 4 classes.
Oh, and I think it’s also worth mentioning that Peacekeeper is not the first “Flavor of the month” for this game. Not even 2 weeks ago people were whining and moaning about Nobushi. Before that? Warden. Oh but now the Conquerer is broken. Oh wait, now Shugoki is broken. Naw, actually we take that back, Warlord is most broken.
…you know, until whatever character causes the most salt next week.
Funny because I’m providing data behind my arguments that you obviously haven’t read dumbass.
There’s a difference between moaning about a character because they required adjustments(most of online populace) and a character with genuine imbalances proved through frame data. Stop talking.
Lol, do people really need to be so aggressive towards each other? Why can’t people vent about what they don’t like or whats giving them trouble in the game without personally attacking each other? Tell them why they’re wrong.
I’m struggling vs PK at the moment unless I use the PK. I can guard with the conq all guard mechanic but landing attacks on her is what really gives me trouble. I can’t hit that bitch. For me it’s usually a guess between using a guard break or a light attack to deal damage.
