I think it's just the three free classes that you can choose the gender for, but since every other class does have the menu option for I have a feeling those might come post-launch.

Not quite. The ones that are gender-locked are Valkyrie, Nobuchi, Shugoki, Warlord, and I think Lawbringer. The other two thirds of the cast can switch as they like.

Ah, okay. I just happened to only unlock the locked ones then. Valkyrie makes sense, at the very least.

Same for nobushi, since she's also patterned after an actual historical archetype.

This game needs the mode from Tiger Knight where you have like 5 vs 5 people but only 1v1 fights at a time and you watch other people get dunked on and talk poo poo while its going on.

Is this weird? I generally do a 2 out of 3 and cycle to a new person. That is, unless I completely outclass a person. I've never thought that a newbie might want to spar for a while even if he gets completely wrecked. I should change my policy on rematching duels.

If you completely destroy me 3-0 consistently then I'm all the more interested in keeping on fighting. It generally means you're using some sort of strategy or tactic, or I'm very lacking in a specific area that I can improve on by focusing on how you're able to deal damage to me and how you're avoiding damage. Generally the bigger the skill gap is, the more I can learn. While I don't think everyone has the same mentality, but this is something that was common for dota/fighting game players circa 2007 era where there was no match making and the only way to get better was to learn from getting completely annihilated by people 10 times better than you.

Not a lot of black/african warrior archetypes in popular culture to put into a videogame, versus say you know, knights samurai and vikings.

Either now-ish or later on in the night anyone free to help me test a thing or two on ps4? Just do some duels and test how certain interactions work. Also maybe we can get a domination group going for tonight or the weekend.

*ed*

Also yes, the best way to get better is to lose, winning does not teach you poo poo. This applies to fighting games generally but it definitely applies to this game as well.

Blade symphony did the same thing, and yeah I agree it'd be great here. Have like a duel hangout lounge but let people challenge each other 1v1 and everybody can watch or start other 1v1 duels.

For the record, those who aren't aware: The AI in this game is REALLY good. 3rd level AI is an amazing dueling partner, the only weird thing I found is that it always gets hit by my plunge attack for some reason.

Yeah I put the AI on level 2 to start with and was surprised that it kicked my rear end for a second. Level 3 is solid practice.

I still don't know half the moves some characters seem to have though.

The vikings charge rush thing is ridiculous OP on viking maps where they can push you into some instant-death pit. Is there a good way to avoid that? Dodge, I guess, but like... man.

Its really not that hard to dodge, just remember to dodge to the side and not backwards. All the people with the push you around moves are extra strong in environmental situations, so you have to keep that in mind.

I just wish the big e honda samurai guy was in the beta, instead of pushing you around for his guard break he just straight up gives you a backbreaker.

Also I don't really see the value in the Kensei's unblockable attack, its super obvious and slow, easy to dodge. I know you can cancel it into other gimmicks but a backroll just kinda beats the lot of them. Raider's unblockable is quicker, and a big fuckoff AoE to boot.

Yeah I guess that's it. It just seems like most of the guys I was fighting, side dodging wasn't good enough no matter how I timed it, where back dodging works. But then that makes sense, dodge side for the charge.

Its another 50/50 mixup like a fighting game, like with the 3-way attack/defend stuff. Just need practice probably.

One thing that seems kinda goofy is people can kinda just turn and run away... since you're so slow when locked on and it takes a second to stop and start running... sometimes you can catch them and punish it, but often you're just too slow and then you have to chase after them.

For domination if they just back off and run, then let em and you get the zone of control for free, that will win you the game better than getting one kill. That said however some classes can chase people down better than others considering domination adds the skills. Raiders get a giant speed boost skill and you can easily chase people down with it.

I think ubisoft has about talked me out of buying this game and I havent even tried it

I apparently got hacked, and someone slapped 2FA authentication on my account (which was dumb of me to not set it up). I get in their chat, they won't help me. I sit on the phone for 40 minutes on hold to get through and get it removed. My wife sends me the invite and now its not showing up, but she also can't reinvite me

I just had a game that ran for about a minute and a half and then paused with the network warning window, then rolled the game back literally to the beginning of the match. Prior, I the worst I had seen was when a several second rollback brought the enemy I just killed back to life, but nothing is safe I guess.

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

Finally have the time to try playing and haven't had much luck. First few matches have either had such poo poo connections I could walk maybe two steps before it would hang or as soon as the map started the whole thing locked up.

You think that's illegal? Heh, watch this.
I'm pretty sure it gives you screen shake and black/white vision for a second. Also hides the enemy guard indicator.

Game owns but really needs a "Toggle guard" option. Warden and Raider are my favourite characters so far. Warden feels so well balanced against all kinds of enemies, and the Raider has a freaking double leg tackle as his throw.

It's the prestige level. It means the person got to level 20 and reset the leveling counter. It takes a while and it's surprising that there are already people with this thing one.

Double check the options, I could have sworn that it this was in there.
