I really wish I recorded the other day when I won 3v1 in Elimination. 3v1's in general are really hard to win. But when you factor in the gear, feats and revival speeds, it can be impossible for the most part. I actually think it would be fine if the revival speed was GREATLY increased and there were no revive gear bonuses or revival feats.
Anyway, I was Nobushi and I took on 3 enemies by myself. A Warden, Raider, and Orochi. At first, they all 3 were going crazy with attacks but I was blocking everything, almost instantly got revenge. For those that don't know, if you activate revenge when the enemy is attacking, you get a guaranteed knockdown. Well, they all 3 swung and I popped the revenge and they all fell, the Raider fell off the map. I punished the Warden on the ground, so he was at half health, the Orochi was at full health. The Warden was pissed, and was spamming his unblockable, stab stab, unblockable... so I dodged the unblockable and he went for the stabby stab and got parried. Now he's one hit away but then the Orochi finally decides to make his move. Luckily, I R2'd and the Orochi blocked, but it snagged the Warden. But Orochi hit me as I killed Warden, so no execution.
Now it's 1v1, but the Warden is revivable. The Orochi played it smart, actually, and kept bait reviving. So by doing this I was one shot away from death. We were both turtling, and occasionally going for guard breaks but both of us were teching. He finally decided to go for an attack, and for some reason he did a regular up heavy, he got parried. But all I could punish with was a light bleed. Luckily again, the bleed was enough to kill him.
He sent me a message afterwards saying he meant to feint the heavy, but it didn't come out.
That was the most glorious thing I've ever done in this game. The satisfaction will forever be unrivaled.
