I got a key already, and am preloaded. Can't wait to kick gaijins off a cliff while screaming DEUS VULT. Side note, if they have tags, I might just put that in as a tag.

Alright, beta just launched, get on and play. This time around they've given us a selection of nine of the 12 total characters. Those missing are the Lawbringer, Valkyrie, and the Shugoki, also known as the coolest of the bunch. A little thing that's not immediately obvious: Make sure to finish both the basic and the advanced tutorial (found in the "How to Play" section in the menu). Not only are they pretty useful, but they also give you a few thousand silver (in-game currency) upon completion. That'll allow you to unlock the characters you want, and to pimp them out a bit.

I played through the tutorial and practice, and then I jumped online and played about 10 matches. Multiplayer is your opponent just spinning left stick wildly while button mashing and then guard breaking and throwing you into the water, which instantly kills you for some reason. Little to no skill involved despite the system seeming like it's skill based. To clarify, many of the matches I played defensively and tried to watch my opponent and guard to match attacks, but it looked like they were really just spinning left stick and mashing RB/RT to get hits in. I thought you could only guard break if your attack angle matched their guard angle, but that doesn't seem to be the case, as in the middle of their wild swinging they would guard break and stun me, then either keep attacking or throw me into the water. I'm gonna pass on this one. It's a neat idea, but I have no desire to try to learn the intricacies of a system that can be defeated by smashing the controller with my face. Which is sad, because I was kind of looking forward to this. Manxome Foe fucked around with this message at 16:32 on Jan 26, 2017 |

Shugoki's backbreaker is honestly the most satisfying thing in the game and I'm super sad he isn't in this build. Time to accidentally use Nobushi's dodge a thousand times instead!

You do a heavy attack in the direction of the incoming attack just before it hits and it throws them off balance. Then the counter to that is feinting your attacks so you bait them into heavies which you punish with lights, and then every character has unique things it can do to change it up from there.

Little to no skill involved despite the system seeming like it's skill based. Just grab them while he's busy spinning the stick like a ballerina and throw them in a wall or in a hole. If he's not letting you the time to do it, let him drain his stamina and/or parry 'em. The timing can require a little practice, but with no stamina, he's a sitting duck.

Yeah I'm button mashing and getting owned by bots. Pretty cool so far and I like the customization/global front concepts. Wanna play that Valkyrie class though.

Also note that by using custom match, you can play 1v1 or 2v2 against people in your party. That's a pretty good way to experiment and practice a bit.

Keegers posted:The bots are actually better than the majority of players They're pretty good. I can beat the AIs in 2v2s pretty consistently now though. Started with the Nobushi but she appears to be more of a feint+deceive sorta character. Playing primarily as the Conqueror now and smashing skulls with a flail is pretty rad. Plus if you spam his taunt while moving it looks like you're pelvic thrusting.

Also note that the Bots come in difficulties between 0 and 3. 0s are easy fodder, but 3s can be a pretty serious challenge. Those fuckers will parry pretty much everything. And yeah, nobushi is mostly about zoning, poking, and canceling. That can be pretty fun and you've got a fair amount of options, but she doesn't really have the same heavy follow-through to just keep on pushing that other characters offer and suffers in intense in-fights.
