add me on PSN: ArmedCalf.

This is the best game I've played in a while. I sunk all my time into my Warden, but I play a little Conqueror as well. GOD DAMN I love this game

Messed with some other chars. No idea what Kensei gameplay is. His unblockable is so slow and easily dodged. He seems very slow in general. The assassins are pretty meh to me. They seem to rely too much on their opponent have holes in their defense or hoping they can't react to stuff. Some of their spacing tools are cool but it again relies on the impatience of the opponent.

Warden is pretty interesting to me. Could be my next favorite after the shield chars. Warden zone attack is very fast and has great tracking to catch dashes. I don't know if the indicator is messed up or what but it seems to show up very late on it, so it's a great move to randomly throw out with very low risk. The warden unblockable is pretty good too, compared to most chars and guarantees pretty good damage since side lights are a 2 hit combo

Zone attack on Warden I'm convinced is unreactable (like Warlord's) it's super fast, it whiff punishes, dash punishes, mixes up. It's really good. Only a couple of characters get the luxury of zone attacks being actually useful.

Well if you factor in dominion 4v4, those chars with multi hitting zone attacks are nice. But yeah, very limited use in PvP. Btw, do you know which way the opponent has to block Warlord zone attack? Never had a Warlord use it on me.

Im convinced several of peacekeepers attacks are unreactable aswell

Pretty sure its a block on their left, so your right?

But yeah warden zone attack is effectively unseeable. It takes up basically all your stam but unless they were already blocking that way its mostly a free hit.

I actually have no clue. No Warlord ive fought has used it on me and it hits every time I use it lol.

Kensei is mostly a defensive character with few offense tools to keep the opponent at a range where his attacks are most effective.

His swift strike (Side dodge Light) is pretty fast and can catch sidesteps. His Helm Splitter (Up Dodge Light) is similar and can be mixed up with Up Dodge Guard Break. From there you can do an Up Heavy into Up Heavy Unblockable or mix with Side Heavy with armor.

Wall splats are really good for Kensei because you're guaranteed an Unblockable into more mix-up potentials.

His Zone attack is slow but has armor so it's kind of good for the final hit if you want to catch opponents off-guard.

Also helmsplitter is fucking dope.

Against Warden you either block high or left, only occasionally does he attack the right side. So keep your guard on default left then react to high and right. (I could be confusing the left and right, haven't played in a min)

Yea that's how ive been fighting him or full blocking on reaction.

Is it over?

 

[Basic Stupidity]

Um guys I think its already over

 

[Juggs]

Yeah it ended today. But the full game comes out at midnight tomorrow so don't go crazy, lol.

What system are y'all getting it on? Probably PS4 for me. Really wish the console versions ran at 60fps but oh well.

I am getting it on ps4 myself. I did play the beta on both ps4 and pc but eh all my friends are on ps4 so why not.

 

[CrazyFingers]

imma be getting it on PS4 as well.

 

[Tokiwartoothxdk]

xbox one

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

I don't plan on pre-ordering anymore or playing the game at Day 1 Because I'm scared that the full game might have Open-Beta level matchmaking and connections.

If I see that the online is stable and the rest of the game is as fun as my initial impressions I'll gladly pick it up.

If I pick it up, it will be on PC. But it's cross-platform, isn't it?

 

[Juggs]

Like cross-platform play? I highly doubt that. The game runs at 60fps on PC and 30fps on console. It would suck a lot to go against PC players on console because of the significant advantage. The only thing I could see is cross console play, but again i doubt that would happen.

 

[Evil Canadian]

Unless your game is street fighter 5, rocket league, or that one shadowrun game from a decade ago, no its not cross-platform.

 

[Deleted member 5032]

Oh, the Faction War is cross-platform, but actual gameplay is not.

Getting it for PS4

Console is 30 fps at all times? Well, glad I was playing on pc lol

 

[Wetdoba]

Was not expecting the best fighting game on the market rn to be made by Ubisoft of all studios lol. This game is actually amazing though in terms of mechanics and making sure everything has a counter to it. Ive been waiting for a game like this for too long.

If anyone wants pc games just add me
