Why are you making GBS threads up this thread when you don't even have the game (you're refunding it). Just do everyone a favour and refund it and stop trying to push your own agenda, winning internet fights aren't everything. Also, as an Orochi player, that bot really didn't do us justice, so standing there devoting 100% of your brain power to just blocking is pretty lame. He has no unblockable attacks (you weren't attacking to give him the chance) so it's poo poo-tier propaganda that makes you seem better than you are. I could put my mentally defunct toddler cousin in my seat and have him just block Orochi bot attacks. I could train a pigeon to peck the joystick the correct direction to block those attacks. Especially when you're playing as a class that has permanent guard up. It was easy game, man. I dunno why you're flaunting it as if you're god's gift to earth and have cat-like reflexes when it was really not that big a deal. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

So like, you parry, but if you didn't need to parry you end up doing nothing instead of throwing out a missed parry that can be punished. Its a fighting game term.

panda clue posted:I'm not sure why they're making guardbreaks easier again That's not what they're doing. They're not adjusting the window or letting you spam it. They're making it so if you throw guard break and somebody lands a guard break on you first, you can still get a chance to counter it. Its purely for a situation where both players throw guardbreaks simultaneously.

If you sweep em in the corner or near a wall also keep in mind that you can then cancel that top heavy into a shield crush and go for another sweep and get another hit, although unless you were basically at full stam you will be stam broken at that point.

Option select is when you input 2 different commands at the same time and depending on what the enemy does, it'll do one or the other. I'm concerned that there wasn't even a mention of Lawbringer

They're making it so if you throw guard break and somebody lands a guard break on you first, you can still get a chance to counter it. There was also this weird issue where faster heroes could land an uncounterable guardbreak on slower heroes, even if they hit the guardbreak button second. Ex: Lawbringer presses guardbreak. A split second later (almost simultaneously) Orachi presses guardbreak. Orachi's guardbreak touches Lawbringer first so his guardbreak is the one that "counts", even though he pressed the button second. Lawbringer doesn't get a counter guardbreak window.

Exmond posted:So if you try and parry and press E, you will either parry or feint? Nice! Sort of, it's not a true option select in the sense that you don't parry at the exact same time. If you hit heavy attack and cancel as quickly as possible you will actually eat the attack. But as long as you leave the slightest pause after your parry attempt then you're still well within the feint window. So basically always attempt the feint ever so slightly after your parry attempt, that way any time your opponent feints you will as well and you will essentially be back to square one. I'll have to test this with more characters, but it works for Warden and Valk at the very least based on my testing.

Yep if you attempt the parry then feint, if they feinted you will instead feint your attempted parry and not throw out your attack. Its not all gold and sunshine however as not all attacks connect at the same time/have the same animation length and you can absolutely miss a window start your heavy attack for parry feint it, then get smacked. For example a friend of mine in the beta was really big on going for it and got bopped pretty bad by the raiders heavy feint into axe pommel move.

gently caress yea those valk changes sound awesome, now I feel better about all the time I've been dumping into her and ignoring other classes (still not nearly as much as other people, only level 14) Also for PvE scrublords like me, theres a 100% observeables guide (video) out now, it's not perfect but if you got nothing better to do enjoy: https://www.reddit.com/r/forhonor/comments/5ud3bl/100_observables/ Reward (besides the achievement) is a new emblem customization piece for each level completed, so like 18 in total.

I was playing the Warlord and having a hell of a time trying to counter guard break. Also hooray some pretty cool Valk buffs. Gonna dump some more time in her. I also think they should make buffs in Elimination spawn in 30-1 minute later. I don't mind the double teaming that happens in that game mode, but someone spawning closer to a buff and running to it is really dumb.

This game has a significant learning curve that I think puts a lot of people off. It put me off, glad I stuck with it though. It can't be stressed that this is far more like Soul Caliber than Mount and Blade, which I feel like a lot of people I know going in thinking its going to be like. Also, what are events and when can we expect to see them?

Did we ever settle the Valk's Shield Charge -> Cancel into Guard Break? I think I see what a few people meant about a slightly different animation although the result seems to be the same as just letting the shield charge go off.

Wandle Cax posted:Probably ranked modes or tournaments or something like that, i'd expect them in the coming months Nah, events are just daily contracts that are global progress. There was on the first night the game was released. It asked EVERYBODY to participate in a single game mode, and when EVERYBODY earned enough points, everybody got rewards, regardless of how much you participated (or if at all). The rewards were substantial; 2 free premium packs plus some steel and experience. By the time I had logged in it was already completed and I got rewards anyways. I'd expect them every week or two. Something on the weekend to draw in lots of players, but not like every day because they want you to buy steel rather than just get constantly free poo poo. (But you really do get plenty of free steel)

I understand he's playing with a controller but how did he get his guard indicators so large? Mine are slightly smaller although I guess it doesn't make too much of a difference.

Glukeose posted:The worst the PS4 has is emote spam. The quick chat menu, amazingly, only has phrases with positive connotations like "Good fight!" "Wow!" Or "Thanks!" For the most part I've only encountered people who will humor a mid-battle gesture and respond with "good fight" when appropriate. I cannot time basically anything in this god drat game right but holy poo poo everything is worth it when you get matched up with the cockiest orochi on your first duel: http://i.imgur.com/YNY4qNu.gifv And then you tie it up 2-2 and he quick chats the most honorabu taunt of all time  so you shove him off a bridge http://i.imgur.com/SGC1zdC.gifv this game is so expressive

I really wanna know why they designed so many 1v1 maps to be enviornemental death traps. I'm fine with environmental deaths when you have to work for them but there are so many maps where whoever gets the first guardbreak wins because there's zero space to move and death pits everywhere.

And there's some duel spots that spawn you on a bridge and you can't run away to another part of the map. Give me a nice square dojo please! I don't mind a pit or some spikes at the edge but there should be some room to maneuver. Its a little bit too easy to kill somebody at full health just by baiting a knockoff.
