steel is required to upgrade gear which directly impacts gameplay

those other games you mentioned are just cosmetic with no bearing on gameplay

They've been working on it on the back end. The big thing is that they're in the process of rebalancing gear right now. Their internal statistics are showing that gear is having an active impact on matches, and that's never been the intention.

They definitely shouldn't have i-frames, but I agree that it's pretty stupid that you can't cancel an execution.

Can you tech if someone GBs you in the animation? Never get to test it out because I just get smacked by heavies.

>>171790564
Because this is a $60 game with a cash shop designed like a free game. Yes, most things are cosmetic, but it's fucking nonsense that they do this to try to encourage microtransactions in a full priced game.
And upgrading gear is a necessity in 4v4 and that costs several thousand per character
>>171790913
>Gear score isn't as bad as people make it out to be
You can literally get revenge several times in 1v1 fights and two shot people in revenge mode, while being an unkillable tank in revenge thanks to revenge mode defense.
And those are just the revenge stats, there are other stats like attack, defense, stamina cost reduction, stamina regen, exhaustion recovery, that make a MASSIVE difference.
>>
>>171793661
there are more than 4 sets and way more weapon sets

the game is poorly-made

i can't count how many times i've fucked a person into a wall only to not get the animation reaction nor the sound effect and it's just like nothing

same thing with the inconsistent downed speed

the game is deeply fucked on all levels and i'm glad you brought this up because sometimes walls aren't walls but ring-outs are always ring-outs if you're inside of 5ft.

terrible coding

I don't understand 4v4 honorfags at all because of gear, pickups, and feats being essentially an "I win fuck you" button.
But that's okay, it's a deathmatch mode where there's supposed to be lots of kills and deaths for both sides.

2v2 is a little more understandable because of no powerups and equalized stats.
I respect people who want the option of pairing off, but sometimes I'll intentionally provoke people at the start to make it actually 2v2, and not 1v1+1v1.

he tried to make me believe any player would get hit by hit "because of the surprise factor" and despite how often I dodged it and countered him in a 1v1, he kept saying it was good and that I was wrong for no reason.

Seriously, Warden is unfair atm, but the VAST majority of the people who complain about him are seriously overhyping his power.

The game needs more ambiguous moves to open up defensive players. The fact that Warden can actually kill people by using his core class design means he's a character they actually got right.

Look at the core class design of some of the shitter classes like Berserker, who is unironically supposed to spam attacks and somehow not eat shit and get parried.

Just make a whiffed bash have longer recovery so it can be punished. This will encourage Wardens to use the safer GB cancel option more often, which will in turn make them more predictable unless they go for the higher-risk raw bash.

>>171803767

No, no he is not.
There is NO argument to be made that Warden is balanced.

He's just the least broken character with easy, low-risk mixup.

I think you overestimate the number of players who only picked her up after the buff AND the likelyhood of a nerf AND the severity of said hypothetical nerf

Warden should be nerfed. At the VERY LEAST his shoulder charge needs a nerf.

As for Lawbringer, I would really like to see something done with shove. Landing one should confirm SOMETHING, even if its just a light. Also Lawbringers raw damage needs to be raised by quite a bit.

>>171803859
Nothing about Warden is broken, or even unbalanced. He just has strong tools, and using that toolkit will win you games.

That the above methodology doesn't apply to almost any other character(except maybe Valk), is a sign that this game needs serious help.

>>171804115
More stamina cost on shoulder is fine, but they need to really rework the game overall to make the less-powerful characters viable. Feinting costs no stamina, attacking costs less stamina, blocking stop stamina regen, parrying doesn't drain any stamina, etc.
>>
>>171804125

Way too spammable? And warden shoulder isn't? Warlord headbut isn't?

Get real. Shove is miles worse than both of those because it costs more stamina, doesn't track the target nearly as well, doesn't move you forward nearly as much, and doesn't confirm into anything. Shove needs a buff, or Lawbringer damage needs a buff, or Lawbringer needs to straight up be immune to stagger from lights like Shugo, or all three.
>>
>>171804423
Why? Currently, there is no downside to sitting there and waiting for something to react to. Trying to attack just gets you parried, which is why no one attacks.

Offense needs to be incentivized, defense needs to be your fallback, not your primary. This is why all the viable characters either have fast unblockable hits, or guessing game mixups that require the opponent to act.
>>
>>171804039
The feinted Zone takes half his stamina and can only be cancelled super early in the animation.
After landing the stun he was still open to being parried on the light attack which led to him getting hit with a free heavy.

After the whole exchange he was already out of stamina again despite just recovering from exhaustion.
>>
>>171804561
all any of that stuff would do is make PK even better

This is why you might as well pretend the "Stun" effect doesn't exist and doesn't add any power budget to a move. People will just look at your animation instead of the indicator.

Because Vortex is actually pretty in the favor of the defender.

>>171804854
Depends, various reasons.

Most often because you're fighting an Assassin and don't want to bother with shoulder bash feint into side dash attack parry mindgame bullshit.

Also a side heavy into heavy feint deals more damage than double side light into heavy feint - if you really want to do that feint, the side heavy is the better option since neither path will link into another bash anyway.

>>171805040
If raider back throws someone while in the left guard stance, and the opponent is out of stamina so they fall to the ground, you immediately input the command for a left heavy and you have enough time to ALSO use a zone right after - 90 damage

It's just so hard for me to actually get someone to fall for a grab while they're out of stamina, and the fact that you HAVE to be in the left stance makes it harder
>>
>>171804790
Shove doesn't do any damage, and doesn't confirm into anything that does damage. That's its fucking problem. It doesn't even function as a 'stamina drain' move because it drains fuck all stamina, costs you MORE stamina to use, and doesn't interrupt the enemies stamina regen like damage does, but it does interrupt YOUR stamina regen. Its a shit ability.

Ideally, shove should either confirm into an untechable guardbreak, or into a side heavy like GB does.

It seems like there are three paths we could take to make THE LAW good again.
A. We can confirm his status as a counter-attacker, and give him the ability to punish people who attack him by allowing shove to confirm into some form of damage. This would give him the ability to reliably damage the enemy when they attack him, because if he blocked he could follow up with shove and confirmed damage, and if he parries he can get an untechable guardbreak -> side heavy combo. I favor this approach.
B. We can make him more like Shugo with super armor, allowing him to trade hits others.
C. We can make him more like Conq or Warlord in using Shove to confirm into light hits that he can do over and over.

even if you get hit with lights, you can recover fast enough to stuff the shoulder with a light if it's 500ms or less

this is why shoulder is a 1/3 guessing game for the warden, he has to predict your next move, not the other way around

>>171806251
yes, at higher skill levels everyone presses lights against the shoulder because a perfect counter is a lot harder to execute than a GB cancel

I have no idea why you assume the Warden charges this up within range of getting hit when he hasn't opened you up. He does it out of range, because his shoulder charge has enough range to reach you

Warden is easy mode because his vortex has no punishment. It's as simple as that.

I can usually handle a Warlord unless they're turtling for the parry and free GB. I just can't keep up with the PK light spam though, it's ridiculous.

Okay anons help me break this down. Kensei top heavy finisher

>Let it go
Will never land this, all block characters can react too fast for this to be useful

>Cancel into side heavy
Your best option but people can read this and parry, assassins can empty dodge through it (even though it technically hits both sides but we won't worry abotu that)

>Cancel into side
Has the exact same parry window as heavy, and is functionally identical for less damage, pointless

>Full cancel
Arguable the safest option really. Everything else you have is readable but only novice players will get caught off gaurd by this


I hear people saying you can dash out? Is there some trick to it or is it as simple as it sounds.

>>171806827
If a Warden uses Shoulder Bash from outside of melee range, you can literally walk backwards to not get hit.

Are you fucking retarded? It punishes people for doing literally anything. If you do nothing you still get fucked over by the shoulder, if you dodge or tech the GBs you can't damage the Warden, and if you try countering the vortex you yourself get countered.
The shoulder already opens people up, and you can't even counter it without risk of getting parried you fucking autist

The Warden is in control of the battle 100% of the time. He forces you to act but he's in complete control. He can play you like a fucking idiot and punishj literally every single """"counter"""" that could be thrown at him. A raw cancel is completely safe and he might even get a free parry off it. DOn't pretend this is balanced when every other character has to commit to their mixups.

Think about it this way. There is no way to buff other characters to the level of warden without literally giving them the warden's move set. Like, If warden is so balanced, explain to me how what other characters have is in any way equal to the warden. The warden's vortex is somethign that is IMPOSSIBLE to balance a game around because it's literally rock paper scissors. Even if you "counter" the vortex, you don't ahave anywhere near the amount of damage potential he does. Other characters do have mixups or combos, and if they do, they cost too much stamina, or are extremely readable. This game shouldn't just be Wardens only, final destination, etc. Jesus christ you people really do sound like Fox fags

>>171808696
>explain to me how what other characters have is in any way equal to the warden
Warlord's headbutt is a 50/50, except you cannot do it on reaction as headbutt is too fast

PK's zone attack becomes a 50/50 as a feint to get you to change your guard from right, vs a light from another direction may get you smacked for 32/20 damage

Conq's shield bash isn't even a mixup, you either get lucky and hit him with a light as the bash starts, or sidedodge with no available punish

Valk's sweep/GB/light is a similar scenario and why Valk is strong currently, viable offensive options

Shug has a 50/50 when sprinting, run/GB

Take note, all of these characters are effective on offense at least somewhat, because they're not 100% blockable/reactable, coincidence?

No, Second Wind is insanely useful, maybe the healing banner could be good if you're trying to hold a groupfight on a point on Dominion, but Catapult is very strong.

>>171809652
That just sounds like you kept pressing light attacks every time you saw them press shoulder, and they canceled shoulder to parry your light everytime since they knew you'd go for it.

>>171809437
>>171809281
You know, what really annoys me about these faggots is that they talk as if theyre the supreme authority. As if none of us have spent dozens of hours trying to solve this exact problem.

A lot of us including me try really fucking hard to stop warden vortexes, and sometimes we're successful. But its not fair. That isn't me whining, that is the truth. It isn't fair, no other character in the game has the potential for this rock paper scissors shit except PK spamming lights. I know this because I've played all the other fighters and I have a good grasp o nthe fundamentals. I know you idiots don't want to believe the person you're arguing with has comprehensive knowledge on the subject matter but you have to at least give the benefit of the doubt. But you don't. You jsut assume I'm too bad to read or mix up properly. The truth is that I am. Just not against warden. ANd there is a reason for that and we're trying to explain it to you. Insulting our knowledge or skill at the game isn't helping your argument. You aren't even arguing, just insulting everyone who dares disagree with you. The whole concept of warden even being able to react to his own counters is fucking atrocious. No one else can or should be able to do that

>>171809749
you're right, they're much worse since they're 50/50 to escape and not 66/33, thank you for clarifying

>>171809785
>no other character in the game has the potential for this rock paper scissors shit
see >>171809281
Warden only has 1 viable attack direction, top, since his zone is unsafe on block. That you people wanna nerf him because you keep failing an extremely simple guessing game, that is a tiny portion of the actual offensive mindgames that go on in a real fighting games, is absolutely absurd and extremely childish
>>
>>171809749
Valk's sweep/bash/gb stuff is very similiar. You still play RPS, timing's just a bit more forgiving.
>>
>>171809746
I play multiple characters. PK, Warlord, Conq, Shug.
And it's absolute nonsense that you don't have to commit to the charge at all.
>Bro you just have to light attack to stop the shoulder
>On second hand if you throw out a light he can cancel and parry it, shoulders totally balanced though lmao
>>171809758
I've waited before. But there's absolutely no winning. I can't just "throw out a light" because it gets blocked/parried. And if I don't throw out a light the warden gets to use his vortex. It's not balanced, pretending it is is just retarded

How do you play against a Warden that can 50/50 you with shoulder/grab?
If you dodge, they cancel and grab without a chance to stop it.
If you don't dodge to parry/GB, they ram you.
How is this fun to fight against?
>>
>>171809758
>Because shoulder charge forces your opponent to act and is thus an effective offense? It's not hard to understand.
It punishes you for acting because the shoulder can immediately be canceled to parry people. There's no real counter to it, and the only way to avoid damage is to play rock paper scissors and guess how to react.
Why does Warden get this impossible to beat mixup and others don't?

>>171810602
its not my job retard but are you seriously so stupid to think the only way to balance any game is to give everyone a vortex? Are you the same faggot who plays "real fighters"? The potential exists for the game to balanced and not have RPS but just because anon can't send over a 300 word proposal in the span of 10 minutes that means its impossible
>>
>>171810602
>Warlord
Keep your distance away from him, his headbutt gives him one small light attack, and you're retarded if you let him do it multiple times in a row
>PK zone
You should always keep your guard in the right when facing a PK, zone can be parried
>Conq shield bash
His bash is laughably easy to avoid. Yes you can't punish on it, but it's incredibly easy to avoid unlike Wardens vortex
>Valk
Just dodge the sweep, it's not hard
>Shugoki run
Are you honestly comparing his fucking charge, which is piss easy to avoid, to the Wardens vortex?

NONE of these characters have a mixup as good as Wardens vortex, and they can't cancel out of them to bait parries.

That was a glitch though, Kenzei ZA first hit being aimed behind and to the side is not a glitch.

With your logic the Black Knight Greatsword in Dark Souls 3 would be considered shitty, when in reality it has a light-heavy triple hit unlock combo since the heavy windup has a hurtbox behind the character where they slam the sword down.

Which means you have more time to react to THEM (in particular the SECOND).

>make up an argument for me then tear it down
Do you feel good about that. Really, do you. People make suggestions all the fucking time to give characters options but you only bring up the ones that are obviously retarded.
I'm not even going to bother to suggest something because you're going to find any reason at all to shoot it down, and I don't have the time frame to come up with something 100% defensable because I don't have a fucking QA lab in my basement.

Personally I feel that gaurd should be something that you have to press to maintain so light strings can actually catch people off gaurd (literally). I would also take zone attack off Light+heavy and move it to the Emote key on console. See, here's the part where you give one reason those fixes are shit and then feel like you destroyed the possibility of ANY fix being possible besides turnign everyone into Warden.

yeah basically. Just enough that the defender can guess one direction before getting slapped.

Right now light strings exist only to punish people mis timing their inputs

You know, reading through this thread and unpacking the Warden vortex, this little gimmick alone has more deptht than the whole rest of the game put together. Regardless of what anyone thinks of how balanced it may or may not be you have to admit one thing, its basically its own minigame. Kense v Raider is nowhere near as complicated, pretty much comes down to whoever fails a feint/parry first. And I'm gonna point out something that everyone else does, its not even Warden's only tool. He can win entire fights just by alternating top light and zone. But he has a full attack suite + vortex, the latter of which is deeper than whole other characters.

Ok so as Lawbringer I figured out how to deal with Warden vortex by dodging into shove, but now I'm stuck trying to figure out how to handle warlord headbutt. I just do not know how to deal with it. You can dodge but he can also cancel into gb and it seems the only way to stop it is to anticipate it and throw out a light. Anyone, LB main or otherwise, find a consistent way to beat it? Also the knockdown in revenge property should definitely be removed. Warlords in 4v4 get revenge instantly and spam that shit relentlessly.

that's just it, the aesthetic
i'd rather play some cool knight with a big sword instead of chubby hobo with a short sword that makes club noises
shields are for dicks as well

from a gameplay standpoint i hate turtling and like being aggressive, and warden's one of the few characters with a true aggressive option that cant be ignored by turtling
and while i DON'T use the vortex often, (only really ever against conq and shug since their guards are so hard to break (i'd say conq too but shoulderbashing him is asking for damage)) i still like the idea of having it all the same, and it's a nice way to confirm damage, but i usually just play without bashes or zone anyway because fundamentals are more fun

Ok, so as Raider what actual options do I have against Warden vortex? Can't block the unblockable. Can't dodge the unblockable. Can't parry the unblockable. Can't GB. Can't throw out a light. If I Tap, they are already in high stance so they autoblock and I'm at an instant disadvantage.


What do?
>>
>>171815245
if you time your dodge right you can dodge it and counter guard break while dodging (unique to raider)

no, but having only one viable attack direction and a fast, but reactable and punishable zone makes for a decent toolkit

we should buff other characters up to that level, don't you think?

sidedash GB or sidedash light are both extremely strong responses

>>171815457
give character unique tools that let them beat the defensive meta, or fix it all at once

attacking costs much less stam
blocking stops stam regen for a while
parrying costs stam from the defender
feinting costs 0 stam
heavies do significant chip damage
heavy parries just give frame advantage
light parries give a light hit
chained lights do not bounce off of blocks
chained heavies are unparriable

characters:

orochi:
storm rush is unparryable
riptide strike starts chains
both his deflects start chains

raider:
infinite heavy chain similar to berserker
zone costs much less stamina
stunning tap is much more effective

so it's gonna go from a high-risk, high-reward attack to a low-risk, high-reward attack?
what's the pont, he does half your hp if he connects it thanks to the free double light after (which is fine given its riskiness) but making it low-risk would be stupid

"low risk offense" doesn't exist in this game, you need to incentivize it to make it good

>>171816029
no, it would mean the orochi has the initiative due an offensive stance, and that there's pressure on the defender, something that literally doesn't exist currently

>>171816093
low risk offence DOES exist, there's PK, warden's vortex, conq's shield, warlord's headbutt, valk's charge to an extent, orochi's zone, etc

giving a character who can do 1/4-1/3rd of your hp off of an overhead light access to doing half your hp is ridiculous, you need to rethink that

Vortex is its own game, you can not balance other people around it unless they have some kind anti-vortex ability. We've already gone over in the thread why vortex has no true counter, multiple webMs have show that yes, you can cancel tackle on reaction to parry anything your opponent does.

>>
>>171816351
warden's is a true vortex because it can reset itself, yes
they can guess he'll GB and eat a shoulder bash, guess he'll feint, do nothing and eat a shoulder bash or dodge thinking he'll shoulder bash only to eat a GB

so yes, it is, but only in warden's case
>>

i'm >>171816284, you can't do this stuff on reaction, at least not the parrying

>>
>>171816284
>>171816303
yes, and they're regarded as extremely cheap because not every character has something like it

make those tools universal and the game adapts to become a lot faster and more offensive, instead of "make the read and then punish", which is boring in comparison

>>171816304
every heavy in the game right now is massive parry bait, and you don't even have to worry about parrying since hip damage doesn't exist either

>>171816449
spamming the word "vortex" doesn't make your point stronger, characters not having solid attack methods is why stuff like warden shoulder mixups get complained about nonstop, because they are an effective attack method
>>
>>171816469
And do you honestly think it's fair that one top of the vortex being a guessing game to counter you can cancel it instantly to block/parry? Why should such a broken mix up also not force you commit to it?
>>
>>171816469
>vortex has one counter
Yeah its not exactly a hard prediction to make, and yeah, 500ms for fast normals is enough time to just cancel and parry.

>>171785362

anon points out how 500ms is more than enough time to cancel your bash on reaction and parry. Ironic how this anon was trying to defend Warden, because what I'm doing is what Warden does. Put you on defense, read your counter, and then just fucking counter that too. Get fukt faggot, its broken.
>>
>>171816548
I guess that's true. His headbutt is so fast though that it's kind of like a continuous moveset that you have to guess if they are going to headbutt you again and you try to dodge but they just GB you instead. Happens a lot to me because for some reason when I back dodge as lawbringer I still get hit by his headbutt

using shoulder means you cannot block for a small period during the startup, even if feinted

that's the commitment

is it small? yes, attacking shouldn't be a big risk unless it's extremely good or something, that's how you get a stale shitty boring game

>>171816669
yes, but the point is that the Warden is also making a read, due to shoulder having a short uncancelable period during the startup

you have to cancel shoulder very early in order to parry anything out of it

PK light spam is whatever, the REAL issue is that her zone is insanely fast and has no downsides at all for such a fast move with insane range

>you have to cancel shoulder very early in order to parry anything out of it
But you can do it. You can counter counters as Warden. No one else can do that. That's not even typical in other fighters. Why are you defending this shit? Give him Vortex, just don't let him cancel it. It does everything you want it to except it can actually be punished.
>>
>>171816613
>parry bait
>bait

Exactly. You don't go throwing out heavies all the damn time. That's one of the major issues on lawbringer is that EVERY COMBO requires a light then a heavy after it so all of his combos get shut down. Making them unparryable won't do anything. It will just mean assassins will get super buffed and no one will play anything other than them because they get damage off a dash, and no one will ever throw out a heavy because they will ALWAYS try to dodge it. No more feints because there is no point to it. No more slow heavy mixups to throw off their parry timings. No more using any character than has slower attacks because the opponent will ALWAYS dodge back to reset to neutral or if assassin side dodge and hit you. You're an idiot that doesn't think about what you are proposing.

>>171817067
shove starts chains, so you can just go shove > side heavy > top heavy unblockable, and even if they dodge the first heavy, the chain will continue, then you get a 50/50 if they're going to dodge or not so you can feint and GB them, you can do this already with 0 stam opponents

you know that dodges are vulnerable to GBs, right? if someone spams dodges as a reaction to things, you get free GBs constantly and sidedash attacks are no exception due to them being very telegraphed and thus easy to parry

Why are you not complaining about Valk instead\ when she has PK-tier lights, a much more repeatable mixup, that she gets a heavy off of every time?

And this somehow makes Wardens vortex not an issue when you can't stop him without hitting him with a light, when he has the ability to immediately cancel the bash to parry your light?

Forgetting the shitstorm that is his shoulderbash what exactly makes his toolkit large? As far as I'm aware the only things that set him apart from other fighters is his bash and crushing counterstrike. CC is just a damage boosted parry so I don't know if that counts as a tool. I don't play fighting games so forgive me if toolkit means something I'm not aware of though.

I get that the shoulderbash alone is enough to give him more tools than most of the roster but I thought that's all he had going for him

So from reading through the thread I've gathered the only fundamental difference between the warden's bash and valk's/warlords/conq's bash is that it can be cancelled. Correct me if I'm wrong on that. These are also the only classes aside from pk that have reliable ways of dealing damage against turtles because of they're bashes.

If that's true is the solution to remove the warden's ability to cancel or give the other classes that ability?

Fun fact, you can lag out of custom matches as well thanks to ubisofts inability to handle fucking multiplayer servers. I played customs with a couple friends and one got dropped a few rounds in
>>
>>171818961
>Warlord
He can initiate his headbutt from a distance and chain it into a heavy. The most he gets from a headbutt is one light, warden gets two lights or a heavy
>Conq
You can dodge his shield bash so fucking easily. It's not the bullshit guessing game that the Wardens shit is, all you need to do is dodge
>Valk
Her sweep is predictable, but her shield bash is bullshit because in her bash stance she has superior block

Wardens shoulder bash costs almost no stamina and has no punishment if you dodge his shoulder charge

>>
>>171818961
warlord's headbutt is insanely fast and borderline unreactable

valk's bash is about as fair since you have to lead other moves into it, and is quite fast

conq is a bit bullshit, as shield bash is almost as fast as headbutt, but can be done off of a dodge in any direction and follow up with a light hit

That's what I'm trying to talk about, why making the new game a P2P?
>>
>>171819132
I meant to disregard things like damage gained from bashing and stamina cost because that's really just fine tuning, even if ubisoft has no intention of doing even that for a while. I didn't think about conq not being able to GB from his bash, I guess that means his is avoidable %100 of the time and not a mix-up?

So for the others dodging a committed bash gets you a free hit but not warden. That combined with the cancel ability is what makes it a problem?
>>
>>171819658
The argument was it's better for a fighting game, but I'm guessing they just wanted to be cheap and not pay for servers.
>>
>>171819752
the conq mixup is either dash and shield bash or dash and gb, but that only works on people who try to dodge super early by reacting to the dash instead of the shield bash
>>
>>171819823
its better for 1v1 but not things like 4v4
>>
>>171819752
The problem is there's no actual counter to it. People say "just hit him with a light" but you can't hit him with a light because he can cancel and parry that light. And once you're in the vortex it's a literal guessing game that the Warden always comes out on top on, because you can guess everything perfect, but you can't actually punish him for it.
>>
>>171819867
Considering there's only one 1v1 mode we should have gotten dedicated servers. It's fucking ridiculous that one salty faggot can ragequit and cause a 4v4 match to crash

So is the answer to make it more like warlord's headbutt, the defender has to make a 50/50 guess on what to do and if they guess right they get a free hit in, with the attacker getting the free hit if they guess wrong?

I don't really like the idea of simplify every encounter down to a coin flip but I also hate the defensive meta. High level play should be fast and aggressive not a staring contest. I'm just brainstorming ideas on how to fix that. I don't know if warden's bash is really overpowered or everything else just sucks but the thread turned into such a shitshow I thought breaking it down might help.

The literal guessing game shit is ridiculous for any character. It's not skilled to be forced to guess what the opponent will do and hope you guessed right. A player trying purposefully to be unpredictable will be hard as shit to guess what he's going to do.
And Wardens bash is overpowered because there's no way to punish it

>>171820916
you're legitimately retarded and shouldn't comment on this game, please

Warden got knocked down from S tier to A tier when his zone became punishable on block back in open beta, everyone has figured out shoulder mixups since then, don't be a baby
>>
>>171820910
>>171820916
So how are fighting games normally balanced? I realize that's a pretty broad question but I'm assuming most of them don't do it by having guessing games or by letting players be %100 invincible if their reactions are fast enough.

>>171821253
well, most jabs in a fighting game are around 4-5 frames, aka unreactable but do almost no damage unless capitalized upon

also, parrying is usually a single-frame affair, so right off the bat, those two differences make FH a very odd fighting game where everyone you do is completely easy to see coming and is in fact, disadvantageous

Painstakingly through years of trial and error, all fighting games stand on the shoulders of other similar engines from the last few decades. This one is pretty fresh and unique so it will be pretty rough for a while, although considering the amount of data they can access these days it might end up being decent sooner.
>>
I just met the first player as good as me. Not to say I'm really good, just that most of the playerbase is bad. I'm probably slightly above average.

I was nob, he was zerk; the whole game revolved around feinting the fuck out of each other. His main fuck-ups were using zerk's overhead dash heavy. Parried it, GBed into overhead heavy, at which point, I would feint a second heavy to bait him intoa dodge light and then parry that for another free GB into overhead heavy. Then repeat with another feinted heavy or if he wises up to that and doesn't dodge, finish it with a kick.

What's odd is against a high skill (or equal skill) zerk I can coe out on top as nobushi, but against some retard sub-rep1 zerk who just spams his infinite chain and dodges I can't do shit. On pS4 if that matters, since I've heard some hullaballoo that zerker is good on consoles thanks to the 30FPS framerate.

How do I deal with the insane constant in-your-face pressure of a retard zerk that has no finesse and just keeps mashing the attack buttons? I get the block in after I eat a few hits but it seems like if I get caught in the middle of it I can never get the parry off -- EVER. I can't switch guards and mash heavy to get the parry in time. Am I doing somethign wrong or should I just never try to parry a zerk as nob if he's in the middle of an infinite chain?

Want to know how I know you're a Warden main?
>>
>>171822007
I baited them out of him, so he thought they were good trades. I'd initiate a heavy out of range on purpose to whiff him, he'd start his overhead dash hoping to trade hits with me thanks to his hyper-armor, I'd feint the next heavy and parry, leaving him in the predicament I mentioned before.

Outside of the two times he used it, he was otherwise pretty good.

just fucking roll away you dumbass holy fuck, it's that easy. Disnengage or try to guess whether to dodge/CBG/attack. Sacrifice a portion of your stamina for a guaranteed evade or sacrifice a portion of your health bar because you guessed wrong

only a retard chooses the latter. The moment that warden starts charging his bash after a hit, I just roll away. Wow, vortex avoided and I can re-engage on my own terms. Such a hard skill to master, omg

Not every single fucking move needs to be available to punish. Some moves are unsafe on block/miss, some aren't. Some simply require you to get the hell out of the way.

If you roll away and ALLOW a warden to re-engage into ANOTHER vortex, you're just bad, dude. It's that simple.

Post a clip of you playing against a warden where you lose so we can see what it is you're actually having an issue with.

The fact of the matter is that Warden is sitting right on the fence: no can agree if he's balanced or overpowered. What only makes it worse is that Ubisoft has made no official comments on Warden, so we don't know what they're seeing.
>>
>>171823127
I think we can all agree ubisoft has absolutely no idea how to properly balance shit, considering they thought revenge gear was balanced

So lets take away all the arguments and counter arguments and just give a simple Yes or No on this, just to see the census of it all.

But now they know revenge gear is fucked, and they're (slowly) fixing it.

i dont know but its definitely not 1f, 1f parries are pretty much never a thing because its way too strict

>>171823206

not a good idea since the majority of players are shitters with shitter opinions

if this game was balanced by majority ruling it would be even worse than it is now
>>
>>171823212
They know revenge gear is fucked after weeks of people bitching to them about it. The fact that they thought it was fine on launch shows they thought it was perfectly fine until people started complaining. It's like they never even tested it out. You could play literally a handful of matches against people with 108 gear and instantly know it's pure cancer

>>
>>171823318
>majority of players are shitters with shitter opinions

Majority are shitters yes, but it's also not good to balance the game from top tier perspective either since they'd like to have multiple mixups and turn this game into japanese fighter.

The game should be balanced in a way that shitters can play and do mixups but at high level gameplay the it doesn't get into warden level of mixups. See Valk, She has mixup potential of Light,Shield Bash or Sweep, but you can block it, or easily dodge the other two because they're slow enough. The only problem with her is she she can do it 3 times in a row with no drawback and take down people to 80% HP if she gets all 3. At max she should be only allowed 1 sweep then the heavy would leave her with only enough stamina for single dodge.
Not disagreeing with you anon just adding my points
>>
>>171822675

>>171822890
yes, if you side dodge that also works too, imagine that, a 2/3 chance of getting out assuming you have no clue how to read people

You're literally saying the only solution is to roll away which costs you half your stamina, yet somehow insist the move isn't overpowered. You're fucking retarded

>>171822953
I want every character to have offensive options as fast and effective as Warden, but apparently as it is, it's too much for people to handle. Maybe that's why the game is dying.

>>171823631
no, look at >>171806807
if the warden hadn't have canceled the shoulder, he would've gotten hit

why would you want to make charging a shoulder in neutral punishable? you already can't block while you're doing it, so you can just eat random hits trying it
>>
>>171823572
It's too much to handle because there's no counter to it, and no other character has these offensive options.
>>
>>171823719

that's not an argument, you're just meme'ing, you're the one shitting up the thread not me
>>
>>171823745
>why would you want to make charging a shoulder in neutral punishable?
So it actually has a fucking counter? Because as it stands Warden can literally counter any attempts to counter his vortex. As of right now the vortex has literally no risk or downside because you can counter any attempts to stop you, and can't be punished during it

And I was specifically talking about if you dodge his shoulder you can't hit him after because he can instantly block.
>>
>>171823782
>wahh i can't punish someone on reaction for charging a shoulder in neutral and then canceling it purely to bait me into doing something waaah
really
>>
>>171821253
decently balanced.

>I'm assuming most of them don't do it by having guessing games or by letting players be %100 invincible if their reactions are fast enough.

yes they still have guessing games and can be balanced. you cant be 100% invincible in 2d fighting games because you will still take chip damage. the thing is you cant have fast enough reactions in 2d fighting games since tons of moves you cant react to unless you option select something like a jumping heavy into either a combo starter or just blocking.

the reason this game is weird is because you cant throw shit out there since it can be punished way easier at less risk to the punisher.

in street fighter if you try to parry a light (pretty much dp a normal in neutral) you will lose half your health if you guess wrong since you cant feint (in sf iv you could. people actually bitched a ton about being able to cancel a failed dp.) and the chance of actually counterattacking a medium kick with a dp was low since you basically had to make a read.
>>
>>171823809
It is an argument. PK is unabalanced as shit right now, and you thinking you have any right to claim you know what is and isn't balanced is hilarious
>>
>>171823864
why should an offensive tool have a clear-cut counter? if it did, why would anyone ever use it in the first place?

what exactly are you asking for?

>>171823920
how would the guy having experience on PK make his opinions on another class invalid?
>>
>>171823880
You can't punish the shoulder bash at all. Not before, not during, not after. A move that has literally no counter has no place in a fighting game

you probably try to parry to much.

do what nobushi does and do nothing but run away while throwing out a light by reading a jump in (dash in in this game, hopefully this jargon or jump in will get used more since so many characters depend on dashing forward to get in)
>>
>>171823959
The reason everyone uses the vortex right now is because there is no counter. No other class in the game has a mix up like this that has no counter, and can actively be canceled to counter the enemies attempt to counter.

it's shoulder charge, calling it "the vortex" just makes you sound like a meme spouter

Warden has pretty solid basics but is only really effective when attacking top, or forcing people to make moves with shoulder. Try Berserker, their soft feints are cool.

cant assassins just leave the arena by rolling or light attacking since what fucking warden would actually try to parry a super fast light? asians dont play for honor so dont say the high level players. they arent on the same caliber

cant shugoki just eat the bash and get a free grab?

it has counters. its just jarring that he has it and no one else has one as good a mixup as his.
>>
>>171824073

Im finding berserker quite fun. Her combos are easy, but her feint kit is immense, and her methods of getting in and out of combat i find really fun. And the uninteruptable is a great bully card.

>>
>>171824254
There is no counter where you can PUNISH him. I'm not talking about escaping or preventing damage, I'm talking about inflicting it. The move is 100% risk free for him to spam over and over again because it costs almost no stamina
>Warlord
He can get one light off a headbutt, and you can dash attack when he tries it
>Conq
You can dodge his shield bash. You can't punish him, but it's incredibly easy to dodge and not a guessing game
>Valk
Her spear sweep is easy to dodge. Her shield stance is dumb though because it has superior block and makes her untouchable as long as shes in it
>>171824259
Yes, you can dodge them.
>Shugoki
You GB him once and that hyper armor is gone, no decent warden will ever bash into him when he has the armor.
>>
>>171824170

what if i mained Lawbringer, he's broken in the other direction, would my opinion on whether or not a character is underpowered be redundant then?

just because i play one of the strongest characters in the game doesn't mean i see the problems with that and other characters

i want all the characters to be balanced, i don't want just the characters i play to be buffed and the ones i hate to be nerfed


i just want the median of balance to be closer to Warden and Valk who both have good mixups, than someone like Kensei who has nothing but shitty feints and can't open anyone up

i want Conq, Warlord and PK to be toned down a bit, and all the ones below Warden and Valk to be buffed a lot

do you disagree with any of this? where would you want the median of balance to be?
>>
>>171824327
My point is that it's a move that is 100% risk free, costs little stamina, and only has benefits, no punishment.
Does every other character have moves like this?
>>171824401
>Dude just run away forever if he keeps trying to do it
This isn't punishing him. I'm not complaining about not being able to escape or avoid damage, I'm complaining that the move is completely safe to spam over and over
>>
>>171824512
I agree with that, but for the most part people play broken characters and insist there is nothing wrong with them.
But as it stands no other character has a mix up as strong and safe as Warden does. He has no business having it when there's no counter, and no other character has their own mix up
>>
>>171824561
>My point is that it's a move that is 100% risk free

what's wrong with light attacking?
>>
>>171823864
to make it counter able in this game means everyone needs a pk zone attack framed attack to hit him out of it or their own "unpunishable" attack that has as fast a startup as pk zone.

I like how this defensive meta has literally trained you to always think about how to defend, and not an actual ebb and flow of fighting

>>171824561

This is what light attacks should be, except parries are super easy to do, so they aren't
>>
>>171824561
then make a read and attack him before he gets armor.

speaking of, has any berserker had success by just doing your heavy that has armor?
>>
>>171824654
Because it can be canceled to block/parry the light attack, which will happen because a light attack is the only way to stop it, so obviously the warden won't let you
>>171824680
You can get rid of Shugs armor with a GB, whether or not it gets teched. Then once the armor is gone warden goes to down with the vortex, especially since sumos light attacks aren't fast enough to stop him
>>
>>171824812
You can't fight against the vortex though, because the one way to stop it is a light attack, which will be blocked or parried because of how easy it is.
Literally the only way to prevent the vortex from every starting is to nonstop attack, which will just lead to getting parried and then the vortex begins.
>>
>>171824846
the cancel isn't done on reaction, it has to be predictive

if you don't light attack, the warden will just cancel it and nothing will happen

why are we still discussing basic movesets in week 6 of launch?

New Knight hero after S3 is called Enforcer, wears a crusader helmet kind of a mix between Warden and Conqueror's look

uses a war hammer/war pick (changes at higher levels only aesthetic)

Parry her first light attack.

Unless she purposely whiffs her first one, parrying it isn't too bad.

>>171828515
Seeing how it takes them over a month to nerf warlord after acknowledging themselves that he is OP, I wouldn't expect a Warden nerf before NYE.

The indicator bug can indeed fuck you up, but if they don't abuse it, then they're not too hard to deal with.

If they do abuse it, just hit the power button.

At the moment they are because PK, Valk, Memelord and Vortex (Warden is SHIT but Vortex is broken) are the only people you play against.

>still all this autistic screeching over Warden
He isn't considered as good as the other 3 top tiers for a reason - he's really good but he isn't fucking broken, you're just a retard who can't counter him and wont bother to try to counter him, he's very punishable if you aren't terrible and know how to read him

excuse me for wanting to actually be aggressive in this boring turtle fuck-fest
>>
>>171834798
GB is a guarenteed side heavy, you can then do Unblockable top, feint the unblockable top into an armored side heavy, you can feint the unblockable top into a dash guardbreak, you can feint the unblockable top into a side dash light attack and you can just feint the unblockable top to parry their parry attempt

t. Rep 9 Kensei
>>
>>171835027
Anon, as far as most players are concerned any character that isn't their main is OP, such is the nature of things.
>>
>>171835084
>armored
The fuck is that
>>
>>171835676
You ignore attacks, you get damaged by them during the attack but you wont get interrupted
>>
>>171835676
not him but its hyper amour, it stops you from staggering when hit and stops the attack getting
interrupted
>>
>>171833142

only thing that can revive it is if they roll out the competitive scene at the start of season 2 with ranked mode, spectator mode and sponsored tournaments and it somehow becomes successful

that might garner new viewers and players

but before any of that can happen they have a massive job to do with connectivity, balance, customization etc

What is everyones connection problem? I mean I get booted sometimes but not that much. Is it really that bad? Playing on ps4

The matchmaking is ass tho it tries to match by skill for like 0.5 seconds then goes fuck it "skill level all" at least in my case.

On an unrelated note.

>>171790105
I actually never gave a shit about this, but those prices are high now that I look at them. Even at the best rate you're spending around 2 dollars/euros to just get a single 3k ornament, and 5 for something like a 7k execution. I guess youd be an idiot to spend any extra cash on this game even if it were a good deal, but that's a ripoff even by a con artist's standards.

>>171836148
the samurai should have gone the more traditional look instead of hobos wearing wood

That's all relative. If you want to say warden is the norm, fine then; everyone else can just say that the rest of the cast aside from the top 3 is underpowered.

>>171836028

would be cooler with a longer coat and without the shitty cutting board armor

i love the samurai aesthetic but they needed to have made armor steel and maybe the coat a little bigger or the shoulder pads smaller and no coat

I use mine to set it for Elim/Dom/Skirm so I don't have to fuck around with feats when picking the hero. Also, I might want different gear for different modes.
