Don't blame the players for a bad mode that's ruined at mid- and low-level by grouping tactics.

Man, I want to like Shugoki. He's just so goddamned slow. If you can't GB he seems kinda useless. What am I doing wrong?

Almost made me wish there was chat on PS4 so I could taste that salt. Almost. :allears:

I'm probably just projecting but I swear people on PS4 ragequit in a heartbeat. Like, it's all "good fights" and taunts and then they get hit with one combo they don't understand and it's connection error time. maybe if they had in-game chat as an outlet they would stick around longer to let us know how they really feel :3:




GB chat: I still think there should be some visual/auditory indicator when a GB is uncounterable. Just make it subtle.

My personal opinion: Embrace the lack of honor. It makes the game more dynamic and interesting than just 1v1 all the time. Yes, getting gang-banged tends to suck, but the occasional victory when you're outnumbered is so satisfying. As soon as I get teamed up on I try to be the biggest scumbag ever. Revenge, environmental kills, running to powerups, using feats, anything. The more angry they are after defeat the better.

Normally I'd say go play 1v1 if you want to duel, but...low activity, no matches...gently caress. Game is currently in a pretty bad state. :smith:

There Diomedes aimed and stabbed, he gouged him down
his glistening flesh and wrenched the spear back out
and the brazen god of war let loose a shriek, roaring,
thundering loud as nine, ten thousand combat soldiers
shriek with Ares' fury when massive armies clash.
One of the big things I want are straight up arena maps. An octagon, a circle, a field. I don't care. Give me a bunch of gladiatorial rings that I can vote for every time so we don't have to both walk to the corner of the map where you can't get knocked off. And no, this isn't me saying "ahurdur honor". If I don't follow them to the corner, we aren't fighting. People straight up refuse to meet me in the middle because everyone is deathly afraid of gravity.

That one 1v1 map that is just a bunch of railing-less catwalks at the top of a pagoda is so badly designed. I've won fights by just light attacking someone and having them go over the edge.

I'm going to guess what's going on is revenge meter fills on the amount of damage dodged or blocked and since plunging attacks can hit for 2000+ damage that's why it instantly filled.

What's with the eh... bretonnian dance, sir?

That rickety bridge duel area in the swamp map is the worst. If you're playing shugoki or anyone with a shield that level's just a free win. Like even kensei normals usually have enough weight to send someone tumbling.

That's an interesting point. That could add to why revenge is so ridiculous with gear stats. Most people will probably go for attack power gear, so when they are blocked/dodged/parried they give even more revenge meter to their opponent.

That's the one (I am currently in Istanbul so different time). It was full on Musashi-Luke-meets-himself-in-the-cave next level poo poo. I think in part because they were both Kensei the whole thing was mind game intense and we only saw the shadows, which were greatly entertaining. I learned a ton from his disposition about it all too. That guy seems like he is all heart and humor, to me at least.

Sorry revenge build haters, but there are few things more satisfying than impaling my foe and lifting him up into the air, his partner futilely beating on me, throwing his body to the ground, turning, and splitting his partner open like a melon. I feel like the loving Terminator, and until LB gets overhauled, I'm going to take my power trips where I can get them.

Counting engravings, I think Lawbringer can manage 8-9 on their person at once.

Edit: no wait more, some chest pieces have a skull on their badge.

i don't know what level you play at but you just kind of have to juggle his good attributes

- with your damage reduction bubble you'll always win the first strike exchange. I just get my first few lights in start with the lead

- the heavy can be a delayed double strike so make them think you finished and then bring it around for the final smack

- anyone moving aggressively at you can be picked up for that shoulder break. It can gently caress you real fast but if you keep their path linear by hugging the wall giving them no side dodge out, they hit more than miss. A shoulder break leads into a baseball swing or another shoulder break. Wnning striking exchanges is hard but you can afford to take a lot of damage when you can instantly get health back.

- start off with the oni charge and get the knock down to start
