The fighting game guy in me really wishes I could record the dummy actions and just have it play against me. So many situations I keep wanting to test out but they are a bit hard to force in a normal match.

I dl'ed the pc beta as well(normally on ps4) to try out the keyboard/mouse controls and I will say its not as bad as I feared. I still consider playing on a controller superior however kb+m is not bad at all.

Buschmaki posted:Kensei can dodge into you, grab you and then slam you into a wall and get off an unblockable that takes off half of your health. it feels very cool to do. Dashing guardbreaks are super strong and only 2.5 characters have them*. Kensi can forward dash into break, raider can forward&side dash into breaks, and warden can ghetto do it by dash->shoulder->shoulder cancel into guardbreak(making it slower than kensei/raider). Also fun warden fact: Once you start mixing shoulder bash into your strings and people dodge to left/right as its somewhat obvious, do keep in mind one of the properties of a guardbreak is complete tracking. So if they dodge in any direction but immediately away from you, your shoulder canceled into guardbreak will catch. *Except for Shugoki/lawbringer/valkyrie, maybe? Have no idea on their moves.

ahhh I am getting salty because I am now in the "I TECHED THAT" phase. Everytime I think I am 100% sure what the guard break tech window is, I apparently am wrong, and you can't afford to miss a guardbreak tech against the peacekeeper army out there because that poo poo takes like 1/3rd of your life.

Also hot reminder: Remember to turn on toggle lock so you don't constantly have to hold on to your lockon while fighting. It should be that way by default but it isn't so

Zzulu posted:What am I doing wrong with the peacekeeper? I'll guardbreak someone, stab them ONCE and then that's it You need to press the button to stab again after the first stab completes in full(then once again for the second stab). It's one of those things where once you get the timing you basically won't botch it ever again. As an aside I also did up a little walkthrough guide for the Kensei: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJqT9JEvQvU If you've already been playing the class for a bit probably not going to teach you anything you don't already know but for people who haven't played him yet maybe it will help you out.

fadam posted:I know its early so its all bullshit, but what's everyone's top/bottom three? All subject to change and in my opinion but(and this is strictly for 1v1, unknown about team games): Warden and Peacekeeper seem to have an edge on everyone else, and berserker just seems like crap compared to the peacekeeper while fufilling the same assassin role. Everyone else in the middle.

Internet Kraken posted:I can land the guard counter everytime in the practice mode but against a player it barely ever works, even when I know its coming. Its getting frustrating because I have no clue what I'm doing wrong. Just the timing is very precise. Practicing it against the dummy who has the same rhythm is different than doing it against a player who mixes things up and is unpredictable. That said do keep in mind there is a visual timer as to when to parry. When the indicator turns red, when your parry window is active it will then start flashing red very briefly on top of that.

I will say the most frustrating class for me to fight is the Orochi. I don't think its the strongest(as I think thats warden/peacekeeper) but their loving sidestep dodge attack is flustering to say the best as its a bit too good at what it does. Hard to block on reaction(let alone parry), can't use guard break to get around it because its an attack, and worst of all is when you are playing a slower class even when you call the direction of the dodge and do a side heavy attack in that direction, it can still miss a fair portion of the time

Internet Kraken posted:I'm probably the only person really excited to play the Shoguki. Its the class I am looking forward to the most by a long margin. Between this and last beta I just wanna loving play him already To keep productive I did up another vid guide on the nobushi this time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZMfMrV3Bvk As last one, if you already put time into the class not really gonna teach you anything you don't know(probably) but should be decent if you just learning/haven't really played the class yet. *ed* ^^^^^ Lawbringer looks loving dope.

Panzeh posted:The game really needs to give you a better indication of when someone's coming up from behind to tackle or chop you because you have no way of looking around without losing your blocking. I can wreck people in 4v4 but when I have to deal with getting absolutely destroyed from behind because I have no blocking that way, i'm not really sure what to do about it. When you're actually in the thick of it with two people you can kinda work it and the game tries to give you a break with revenge mode(which should not be available in 2v2 or 1v1), still results in a lot of frustration. Look at your minimap, its there for a reason. Also keep in mind to block people who you are not locked on to you don't need to actively guard them. If you locked on to one dude, and another dude to your right just leave your guard resting on the right and it will autoblock every single move the other guy makes. Only change your block to actively block the guy you are facing when the attack comes. For me against most people in 2v1's its basically a free win as the intruding party just mindlessly attacks and gives me free revenge, the smarter thing to do if you are coming in on a fight in progress is to be doing guardbreaks and other stuff as to not fill their revenge bar.

Captain Beans posted:How is it even possible to generate enough meter in a 1v1 to get revenge? Gotten it twice first time no loving idea honestly. Second time foe got it by me botching a death from above attack so I am assuming surviving the fall to the 2nd level gives a decent bonus to revenge.

panda clue posted:
Dudes offense was completely uninspired outside of the odd feint into grab attempt. I watched the whole thing and then he actually starts getting the orochi's zone attack working as every class has one attack that is effectively unseeable(with high stam cost) ahead of time unless you hard read it, then dude just leaves his guard resting on the side the zone attack hits and it gets blocked and hes like "oh doesn't work either". babby complain is moral of story.

Alkydere posted:Damnit, want to play this now. Didn't realize you could use your zone attack just in 1-on-1 fights to gently caress with people. Zone attacks are really really good in duels as they usually got something going for it big time. Like for the Warden and the Warlord they are ultra fast effectively unseeable attacks. Raider has the famous unblockable, Kensei is a giant fuckoff armoured aoe move which is fantastic against the faster classes as they just have to hold still while its happening and so on.

FunkMonkey posted:The best I can say is that Lawbringer embodies "slow and steady wins the race." It is not an aggressive attacker, and playing it that way is problematic. I've already won a few matches just by countering and slowly chipping away with quick burst combos punctuated by shoves to maintain distance/control. I know that's not exciting for most people, but it's been working decently for me so far. It'll take a lot of practice to really get into a good groove for it, though. So lawbringer is Zangief/Hugo. Slow pace with a lot of bullying people around. I saw some footage of valkyrie gameplay finally and it made me sad cause it was mashy poo poo and I didn't actually glean anything from it

Ok I am tired out of my mind which may be effecting this, but for the Valkyrie the shield tackle cancel it says you can hit r1 to cancel it into that leaping brad pitt troy strike, or square to guardbreak cancel it and I just can't get it working for the life of me for either of them. *ed* course as I write it i figure one part of it out, so has to be shield tackle full charge to cancel into leaping spear, but still can't figure out the guard break portion.

Dreylad posted:Oh cool you can Shield Tackle into Spear Sweep if you really want to burn your stamina. Yeah between valk and nobushi the two "toolbox" characters, off 'bushis unblockable you get guaranteed bleed setup(which then triggers their passive) and you get a whopping guaranteed top heavy off their guardbreak to boot. Despite them both having a zillion options valk seems a bit more in the poor house. So far the big gameplan I have with valk is "before I do this, do I have full stamina?" to get anything real.
