Just noticed an OS that is pretty useful for some chars. Going for a parry you can do light+heavy and if they go for a feint your zone attack will come out. If you do it at parry timing, you will parry the attack. Can definitely be useful for chars like Warden, PK, Orochi, etc that have fast zone attacks. It will be very hard to react to this when you are trying to bait a heavy to parry. Obviously won't be as useful if someone knows you're going to do it but it could be a nice way to check someone who is content to spam feint

Have you messed around with any Assassin characters yet other than Orochi? I'm curious what your opinion is for Berserker and Peacekeeper?

Definitely need to test this. I'm assuming the zone attack is block/parryable though? This seems like great tech though.

I don't care who anyone picks. Every character has a face to smash.

I'd imagine it would be blockable/parryable, since you recover very quick after a feint. However, it -should- punish any post feint mixup they might do. Like some players like to do top heavy feint into side dash, should be punished by characters with fast zone attacks. And if they just block, they really have to expect it, because if they do top heavy feint it would be tough to react to a quick left/right attack as you're focused on looking for the top heavy parry.

Yeah, I think right now Orochi is the best assassin, but PK's main issue is her weak damage off of guard break. Ubisoft already stated it will be buffed in an upcoming patch, in which case PK might be the best assassin. Berserker also has the issue of his light attacks being punishable on block that will be addressed so that is nice for him. Mainly I think berserker just gets outshined by the other two. I don't think he's bad, I just see no reason to use him. It also bothers me at how badly his zone attack tracks on the initial hit, that's honestly one of his biggest weaknesses, as Orochi and PK zone attack are amazing for both mixups and catching side dashes.

 

[CrazyFingers]

Warlord's zone attack catches like every side dash it's great.

Best defense in the games handsdown and considering how strong defense is in this game, that's a good thing. His offense isn't amazing but it's there. Armor on all heavies too. Hard to get a hit in on a good Warlord.

 

[CrazyFingers]

Wow Warden is STRONG

 

[freerf245]

Wow Warden is STRONG

He is heavily underrated. He does great damage, you can't swing overhead against him, and hes got crazy mixups involving the charge.

 

[Juggs]

Wow Warden is STRONG

He's another fun one to use and pretty easy to use as well. His "vortex" is very easy to and it's really good. I think Warden will be my alt. Plus he looks awesome.

Pros- Defense, Fast Attacks
Cons- Reach

He's good at just about everything (except reach), but he's not great at anything.

 

[CrazyFingers]

OKAY! So i'm an idiot and you could always feint mid string with Lawbringer's heavies...we might be underrating him right now. Cuz like, you get a wall splat into a heavy right, and then go into a light mix which may or may not get blocked (his lights mid string are faster than you might think.) and then the opponent guesses either feint into guarbreak or heavy.

 

[CrazyFingers]

ALSO! If you hit the light after shove, you actually get a Warden style mixup afterwards (NOT NEARLY AS STRONG but it's in the same style)

I don't know of a reality where Warden is underrated as he's pretty much considered widely to be #1 in the game by most players.
