For Honor

[Dizzy]

Was watching a stream and noticed something. For Orochi it looks like if you hold your guard overhead, and do zone attack, the indicator will flash for the overhead, and switch to right side way late. Not sure if it's lag, bug, or intended but seems pretty dumb lol. Also not sure if that applies to all zone attacks and is the reason they hit so much, esp the faster ones.

I know Kensei's zone attack did that in the beta.

Well, to be fair, for Kensei, the first swing of his zone's unblockable anyways.

I only played an hour but Valkrie seems very strong. Has everything. Bo rai cho dude (forget his name) is really slow but he hits hard and has armor on a lot of his moves. Idk too much about lawbringer. And peacekeeper got nerfed really hard

I'll hopefully get the game soon enough to join you all on the battlefield.

Just did a few ai matches with Lawbringer, if nothing else we got Super armor on our shove, which keep in mind we can do off a dodge or block, plus guaranteed stun on top heavys.

Took a little bit to connect for my first few matches, but fine so far, though the Berserker ai has somehow managed to become even more bullshit since beta.

Had a bit of time to try out Shugoki. Good God almighty his charge is awesome. First match I had dominion on the snow map. I stayed at C and just charged at people coming across the bridge and got 6 kills in a row by basically not doing anything. Other then that, he seems like he is probably just gimmicky since he's so slow but could possibly be good with all the armor, like mvc3 hulk lol. I generally wait for people to attack and use the walking armor to guard break into guaranteed heavy. Also your cmd grab off b+guard break seems to self damage and has a huge charge up so probably not worth using it unless it's a 2v1 gang up where the person will be distracted or stunned by your teammate. In that aspect it might be ridiculous or unavoidable if set up right

What got nerfed her guard break?

 

[Baconlord]

Long live the samurai

What is a zone attack?

I only played a few games on pc(mostly played on ps4) but the answer is the same.

If you mean online by overall server stability, its a bit shaky
if you mean online by netcode in battle, its fucking AMAZING. I can't tell what wizardry they are doing as I never feel input delay but I also never see rollbacks, but it all just works perfectly.

What is a zone attack?

Light and heavy attack together, big aoe for most classes.

For some(like warden, warlord) its also a lightning fast unseeable attack, for others like kensei its a giant armoured fuckoff move where you better stay still and not hit buttons or get rocked.

Every classes is a bit different.

 

[freerf245]

What got nerfed her guard break?

Yea her tripple stab does significantly less damage and you bleed much slower. And it feels as though she lost some of her stamina. Shes still good but you gotta work harder for sure.

So its like an even geavier attack? What is it for orochi cus I was thinking I already had plenty of tools to go around not even knowing about that lol

Orochi is in the unseeable attack category. Once I get the game(stores not open yet) and after i do campaign and get it out of the way im prob gonna record and frame count each of the lightning fast attacks cause not everyone has em but in duel mode they are super good.

Do keep in mind regardless of the properties of any classes zone attack, they all take like 50% stam minimum and up to 80% of you are trying to do something fancy like feint into one.

Explain to me how you deal with these shoulder barge bs characters.

You cant tech with square unless the window is stupidly tight and im not hitting it. And it 100% has armour and then im guessing that on top of a 3 way block etc.

Grabs seem really fucking broken
