so I'm guessing I was right and you managed to get a lucky string of blocks against a bot once, gotcha

how much work do you expect me to do to maneuver past your mental gymnastics

i've already proven you wrong multiple times and i simply cannot be bothered to prove you wrong yet again. i have 38 minutes in For Honor right now.



that was the total time i spent setting up my graphics, tutorialing, setting up controller bindings (which i was ultimately incapable of getting to work on my xbox 360 controller despite them working in the beta) and making the video

if i spent another hour and a half producing this hypothetical magical christmas land video of me going up against all the top tier players in For Honor and proving that defense is proportionally way stronger than offense is, i would likely waste even more time and move my steam playtime over 2 hours, thus losing my chance for a refund. and that would just be stupid because i do intend to get that refund

i only really bought the game because i knew i could get a refund. i want the game to be good so bad and i'm hoping ubisoft starts paying attention to people discussing the obscene bias the game has on defensive play so that it may some day be nerfed and i can buy the game for real. i loved the game during the beta but it just has the gameplay depth of a game of tic-tac-toe and that really bothers me

I did this and could have stopped it, but nothing in nature ever follows a gaussian curve. Sure, they'll tell you that it does. They say that every five minutes someone dies in a car accident, but how often are there seven hundred and sixty one armless and legless corpses in one hangar?
Okay, seriously. How the gently caress do I talk in allchat? I feel compelled to communicate with these idiots talking about how I have no honor.
It's nowhere in the keybinds.

On a more gameplay related note, I had a match yesterday of Dominion where I went from last place on the team to first, and it was almost entirely due to going around the perimeter of the map, hitting B from the enemy side, and using sweeping strikes with the Lawbringer to kill all of their foot soldiers. It was fuckin' rad. Then I just pushed "forward" into our own territory to cap B and A back.

so I think Minorkos is an idiot and dumb but I gotta give him credit where credit is due for actually holding his own against a level 3 bot. that poo poo ain't easy at all.

but fortunately 99% of players can't do that at that level so I'm not too interested in his overall diagnosis.

to be honest, i never intended to make this about me being the best player in the universe. i'm not that good at fighting games, and i'm sure there are people who are better at the game than i am. that was never the point. my original post way back when was that "you can block and punish just about anything in the game on reaction and that makes it a boring game because defense is very strong" and that is the point i've been trying my best to prove. it just doesn't seem like a fun game to play when played at a high skill level

This fight looks really tame, but this is a rematch from a previous match where our fights were neck and neck (it was a Conqueror + Lawmaker, the Lawmaker was piss easy to fight, he never teched guard breaks) but ultimately the Conqueror beat my rear end in. He was insanely good at changing attack directions, which kept making me eat flail for the first few rounds as my pride kept making me try to parry them even though as Conqueror you can change attack direction mid-swing with your heavy attack.

So yeah, it got to the point where I was nailing him each round. Felt good. Once I dropped the "must parry everything" mentality, he was quite easy to beat, but still a very tough opponent. This clip doesn't do him justice. Will upload a better (with synced audio) clip tomorrow to show him at his best when he's beating my rear end in.

PS: Please applaud me on my Riptide Strike timings, they're really loving hard to pull off right as Orochi. Most of the time you end up eating the edge of your opponent's sword. So I'm really proud I managed to pull two perfectly timed ones off.

I'd be more impressed of a twitch vod of you doing this against actual players multiple times instead of a youtube vs a single bot that you could have hosed up three dozen times and saved the single good run to show off.

You have time to make youtube video vs a bot and upload it but for some reason doing a few 1v1s on twitch is too much?

^^ Please send feedback to beefstache911@hotmail.com, this is not a joke that 'stache is the real deal. Serious assessments only. ^^

He has proved definitively that you can play for a draw and be 100% successful. His proving this just highlights a relatively minor weakness this game has.

What remains unproven is how good he is at winning, which would involve swinging his sharp implement and creating holes in his impenetrable defense.

I mean, if he tried to actually win he'd be pretty good because what he did isn't easy, but 100% successful? I dunno about that.

Can't watch at work but yeah if you get a few good Riptide Strikes during a match you feel like a BALLER. You gotta time em perfectly too because the spacing is just barely generous enough to avoid an attack before the counter strike.

Mino proved his point that defence is king. The extent of the argument was that the game is less interesting when turtling is so effective. It doesn't matter if he can or can't beat a bot or anyone else, the game will still be what it is.

You'll do more than tie since parries are extremely high reward maneuvers.

"Bots are better than most players you'll ever face."

"You can never have a perfect defense. 1 out of 10 times you might mess up, and that's worth accounting for!"

"lol he only played against a bot, try again noob."

It still doesn't work. Hopefully by tonight or tomorrow I will have the frame data on most of the moves and a lot of characters just have moves(like handy warden zone attack) which are simply not realistically possible to react to. Also that and lol at fighting a bot who cares if its level 3 bots are loving chumps.

hello again

i decided to purchase for honor on steam today to test out that theory and it turns out i was able to go against a level 3 orochi bot for 2 rounds without him being able to land a single succesful hit on me. i could have gone longer but i figured the 6 minutes of the same 5 attacks bouncing off my block was enough and my eyes started to feel dry on the 5th minute

also i used a bot because i figured you'd complain about the other person being poo poo or being my friend or something. the bot still utilizes the same techniques a player can for breaking someone's defense, so i figured this was a fair compromise. the only attack that the bot didn't utilize was the zoning attack and i could have also blocked that on reflex, or just left my block on the right side to take care of it entirely

i managed to produce this video in about half an hour so i can get a full refund on the game if i want to (thanks european union consumer laws)

Bot :v: I said player, you can see it in your quote

That bot does feint a few times but he never follows it up. So yeah, turtling is gonna work pretty well.

You're unwilling to actually play good players, so this is all completely moot.

Buy the game and play it so you get matched with good players or stop posting and go talk to people about something you do like dude. Your empty theorycrafting is pointless.

The best part of the video is that it starts on round 2. What happened on round 1 that you didn't want us to see?

I just went and did the exact same thing vs level 3 Orochi bot and perfected him with Peacekeeper (who has the smallest block windows in the game) on my third round. He has incredibly predictable attack patterns from neutral, and just repeats the same bullshit over and over again. Pretty sure half the people in this thread could do the same thing if they decided to dedicate 38 minutes to it.

Actually its because in the post where I asked him to record a video, I said against a player for a real match, not a friend or a bot. He even quoted that part and then went and fought a bot anyways.

Also the video begins at match 2 :iiam:

Yeah warden's top light and side zone are both ridiculously fast and if you're properly mixing between them a player just isn't going to be able to defend against that reliably 100% of the time.

I'd also like to see Minkorkos try to perfectly defend against a berserker who is comboing and dodge-cancelling properly. And same for similar moves on a few other chars.

Yes, the pounce attack is a guarantied hit after a sweep. And pounce works as the starter for a combo so you can keep going.
