Anyone with a shoulder charge style move you dodge.
To tech a guard break you do not hit the button when you see the broken shield symbol, but rather when their character makes physical contact with yours.
Anyone with a shoulder charge style move you dodge.
Regular grabs are fine just those shoulder barges i hate
then dodge em!!!!!!! Hell any class with a dash side attack gets free damage for the shoulder check attempt to boot.
I tried that and they dodged me. Think i just need to iron out my execution
Gotta sidestep. Timing's tight on some characters, like Conq, others are forgiving like Warden, though Wardens tend to follow up with a GB if you dodge.
For Raider specifically you have to dodge later rather than sooner or you get tagged. I've hit a lot of people who were trying to dodge it but just fucked up the timing and got blown up for it.
I already told you what to do and you ignored it not gonna type it out again go back and look
I didn't ignore it I tried it and it wasnt working. Ill give it another shot.
Like I said you have to parry it no other option. They are just going to spam it till kindom come if you dont and why shouldnt they?
From my experience, he isnt very good. He's really fun but he is sooooo slow. The command grab is extremely react able even when canceled from a heavy attack. The armor isnt as good as it may sound either. Maybe you can make him work but from my experience, he may be the worst in the game.
I can't see an unblockable command grab with a hit of armor (meaning you can go through a blow and catch them on recovery) that does shit tons of damage, heals you and gives a free mixup being bad. We'll see. I made Raider work, I'm sure the fat man and i will get along just fine.
This shit is aids tho, if you go online literally everyone of these goddamn cancer player just waits for you to attack and side dashes into attack. LITERALLY EVERY PLAYER. This is what happens when people say the best way to play is turtle. You get these asshats everywhere.
The grab is extremely rewarding on hit. But hitting it is impossible against any decent opponent. He hits REALLY hard but actually hitting is even harder.
Just wait for them to stop moving. Then swing on them or throw them. I've been tearing up the 4 player mode with Conqueror. I just dash up and shield bash them when they roll.
So by your own admission, defensive and counter attacking/whiff punishing is the most effective strategy. I knew you'd come around eventually.
His best thing is trades because his attacks ignore hits and he swings though anyway. The grab ranges in this game are really short and grabs won't beat out attacks. This gsme definitely follows a rock-paper-scizzors premise. My favorite is the Conqueror and my 2nd favorite is the Warlord. This game's characters are designed with player archetypes in mind. The character you choose will be very evident after trying them all out. It will be very clear who you want to use. Also, each character plays specific roles on the battlefield. Orochis look for one on ones. Berzerkers look to gank. Peacekeepers look to fight in small spaces. All 3 are attacking characters that are hard to block, are exceedingly mobile, and are made of glass - but situationally they are different. Its very evident that their design team worked really worked hard to create characters for everyone. I actually think you are going to like the Valkyrie best. Just a hunch, but her off rhythm attacks and strong defense will draw you in and you'll be locked in quickly.
