I've started environmental killing everyone, like all my gear is plus throw. People keep raging and calling me no honor :cabot:

I suck rear end at this game, fighting vs humans is a bit beyond me right now and even the AI kicks my rear end sometimes. It seems they do way more damage to me than I do to them and if I let them get off like 4 attacks in a row from loving up I'm basically dead.

The character I've had the most success with is the main samurai dude. I had some pretty cool 2v1's vs the AI where I got revenge & then killed both ending with an execution. The graphics and gameplay are pretty sweet though.

Ai is better than majority of players

Don't bother with KB&M here. This is definitely in the category of games where you shall use the controller or suffer. Probably the most glaring example, blocking. Not only is it nearly impossible to NOT be blocking in a direction with the KB&M configuration, which means your more susceptible to guard breaks, but shifting your block direction is very iffy. Like if you're a person who holes their mouse slightly tilted, then you may have a natural swing of slightly up or down when moving the mouse left or right and suddenly you're guarding in the wrong direction. Or just the vagueness of the deadzone with the mouse over a stick. Granted there may be a control scheme that allows blocking via keypress instead of mouse movement, I didn't dig that deep, but this just seems like a game where KB&M is a definitive no go if you want to really master it.

Looks like someone has never played a sword fighting game on PC before.

Valkyrie is very interesting but kind of cumbersome to play (well). She has a lot of combo potential but its a lot to remember

That's what I like about Valkyrie. It's only the first day but I imagine after lab ratting her for a week she won't be that difficult to know what situations you use what.

Valkyrie is frustrating with her low damage and speed, but I love her kit and visuals. I want to stick through playing her and hope for a buff, or just get good enough where I can patience my way through fights, but it's hard.

I feel like landing the sweep combo leads into big damage.

This game surviving depends entirely on how many people like the 1v1 and 2v2 modes because those are the only parts of the game that aren't completely hosed up imo.

panda clue posted:

Fighting games are niche because you're thrown into a 1v1 situation where people get angry that they can't find reasons to blame their losses on someone else, so they blame the game. MOBAs and FPS have mass appeal because people can blame their teammates (and they do, constantly) rather than trying to admit they could improve themselves.

This. 1v1 in for honor has become the other player is no honor or their character is op. No way the losing party is at fault.

Simple on the surface, high skill ceiling reminds me a lot of Chiv. How visceral is it? Does it have a team objective mode/teams of more than 4?

If not for the fact that it's €59,99, which is more than I'm willing to pay for a game, I'd give it a try. As it is, I think I'll wait for a sale.

This game needs 180 back stabs and random shouting and it will be close to chiv.

Panzeh posted:

I kinda think counter guard break is really bad for the game's design because it totally negates the primary means of breaking someone trying to block aside from mixups involving unblockables, which are available to 3(maybe 4) classes.

If you actually had to counter a guard break with an attack and the game was balanced around that, it would significantly improve things.

So it would turn into spamming attacks.

Now change it from 2 minutes to 0 minutes, allow people to join during post-game lobby, and eliminate the auto-launch timer (just make it launch when everyone hits READY) and you'll have a system that isn't a loving joke.

And while we are at it remove gear.

The whole reason I got sick of Overwatch was because Blizzard was god awful at balancing and after seeing several pathetic patches I realized the gameplay was never gonna reach its potential.

I'd really hate to see the same thing happen here.

That and the game was too team dependent. Felt no matter how well you play you got 5 anchors pulling you down.

Jesus. Peacekeeper isn't even strong because of her GB bleed. She can wreck you with nothing but light attacks and light bleeds from heavy hits. My guess is one of the devs is biased because he plays PK so doesn't want it nerfed like what happens with WoW balance.

This is why every game should have like one person in charge of balance. Like ice frog.
