Any good video guides/whatever to the berserker floating around? Despite it being arguable the worst one of the assassins, i wanna keep ramming my dick up this brick wall cause i really like the aesthetics, animations and sound design of the zerker.

Yeah I love the look of the zerker but I have no success with it. I have to dodge like in the matrix to see great success with it and it's a lot of effort

whatspeakyou posted:Didn't play beta because siege is a shiny thing that distracted me, but what kind of shape were berserkers in with this last beta? I loved them during the technical test (or at least the idea of them). Berserker is are fairly mediocre, I'd say. No obvious weaknesses, and between the feints and deflects you have lots of ways to sneak in individual hits. His main weakness is that so much of his kit builds towards his infinite combo, but past a certain skill level any player will parry out of that before you're even two hits in. He's not bad, really, but almost everything he does is done as well or better by Orochi or Peacekeeper. Well except when you're up against fairly new players and just utterly ruin their day in a single neverending flurry of attacks.

I felt like a loving boss just hitting one person with that. I wish that gif showed the chat after that happened.

Once when the stars aligned i made a peacekeeper alt-f4 the game tho and i will never forget it.

I'm bummed I miss the open beta for this. It took me a while to get sucked into the hype which I funny because I love everything going on in this game. It's still rough to tell if it's going to have any casual appeal though. I don't mind the depth and all, but if it's going to be like a literal fighting game I don't know. I might want to save my regret and skip it. It's a shame I just found out there's a ton of loot and customization? Extremely my poo poo. C'mon Ubisoft stop trying to make me buy this.

I hate most fighting games because of complex and lovely inputs built for joysticks (I hate quarter circling) and massive dial-a-combo strings. This game has neither of those. Just pure fighting game style strategy of play and counterplay.

Someone was asking about team switching earlier and I like the way they handle it. You give up all rewards for the round you switch in, and if you switch in anything but the first round for the season, you lose all season rewards too.

Plus I get to barbie up knights AND vikings AND samurais  And for every tough beat you will find some really good player with his back to you focused on someone else and then you kick him off a ledge

Sounds rad. To be honest I never care if I'm doing lovely as long as I'm not getting constantly stun locked and rolled in a game. If the gameplay is fun and I'm earning dumb unlocks, cool.

Just pure fighting game style strategy of play and counterplay. Appreciate the info man, that gives me confidence. I love strategy and complexity but I highly prefer pure simplicity in the basic gameplay. I do wish the game was a little bloodier and nastier though from watching videos. Does the sound design at least make for that in person?

Well except when you're up against fairly new players and just utterly ruin their day in a single neverending flurry of attacks. Id disagree. In my experience playing zerker, they do more damage than other assassins(though no bleed) which makes them very effective counter assassins. Especially when you add in an infinite chain against limited blocking In addition, you only need a few counter attacks to mulch other units, as well as having so many defensive reactions you can do switch ups on the defense which makes it harder to predict your next move. Light parry, heavy parry, deflection, dodge, block, or my favourite, interrupt with your stupid fast light attack. From fighting other zerks i would say most dont use the dodge followup or the area attack nearly enough.

Haroshia posted:I don't know what you mean. There's decapitations, battle damage, and blood all over the place. It's not very gory though. It doesn't really have that choppy, meaty, nasty feel I'm sure a lot of people would prefer. It's more of a weighty, clangy feel. You never see limbs off and there really isn't much blood. They could've gone really gruesome and bleedy but instead it's all clean lops and arcade-y smashes. Either way is fine, this works for me, but I think a gorier aesthetic would serve more moba-oriented version of this game. Okay yeah now that I think about it I want the AI mooks to be losing fingers and toes and butts and crying for their mommies

Unless they change something in the full game, berserker has a huge weakness. Even a normally blocked light attack opens up the berserker to an uncounterable/unguardable light attack. No parry needed. Only character (as far as I could tell) that has this specific weakness vs normal blocks.

Skull Knight posted:I want to figure this out too; has anyone who played in the beta tried using both? Which was better? I did use both, it is going to be a personal comfort thing, some people will like Kb some will like the controller, there really is no hard answer. I found the Kb better for me, partially because I could map more controls to my mouse and not have to take control off the guard block (or movement). And also because I just play more games with a mouse than controller. But I know lots who liked the controller. One issue in the beta was that some of the controller support that was apparently in the alpha disappeared, I would expect that to get fixed sooner rather than latter but perhaps not a launch. 1500 fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Feb 13, 2017 |

I tried both but ended up going with controller because actual movement felt better on the analog stick but I also missed that there was a guard block sensitivity option so I'm definitely going to have to get KB&M another shot come release.
