Bro is just saying shit
Bait account. Dont bother responding to it.
are you a fan or what ? What do you mean with that bait thing by the way
Ara is dogshit
Kensei has nearly nothing to work with and is all skill based
Orochi is predictable and his heavy is so slow anyone can parry it, his only upside is being fast and has multiple dodge attacks
Nobushi is just light spam into bash not much else to say
Hitokiri is powerful and simple but slow and reactable (depending on build)
Every Shinobi uses the same youtube tutorial combo and is extremely predictable
Shugoki is annoying for inexperienced players but honestly just dodge, literally just dodge
Kyoshin is a pain in the ass cause all they do is turtle, pretty much bait them into your attacks
Non of these Characters are over powered you just need more practice against them
I'm trying Shinobi rn. I can say that my only problem against him was my lack of knowledge. I'm not saying he is bad. He is really good and I think he is fun.
However if you aren't familiar with his moveset you feel like in a storm of bash attacks. Especially when fighting against high rep players, I feel like they know what I will do before me and believe me I haven't watched any guides so far. Also his recovery cancels might be the most balanced. All follow ups are heavies and reactable. You can't just whiff and go for another dodge attack. I'm really enjoying playing Shinobi for now.
PS forgive my possible mistakes and feel free to correct.
Against people who don't know what they do he doesn't seem to do much but he is very oppresive and is generally considered at least S tier even in Bean's list he is on top with Ocelotl and Afeera
As I said he is strong. Has a lot of options and I believe he is considered S tier for his ability to stay in frame advantage.
in other words he is op
You can say similar shit about everything when in reality If someone plays against at least decent players they are all overpowered af, give me a hero and I will type you similar horseshit that you did with those
"At least decent players"
Sounds like cope, are you sure you aren't just bad?
Yeah man its a cope, Im deep down just bad, possibly the worst in fact not possibly but for sure
I'm sure you aren't the worst
No one is worse than my friend aaron mf said "stop changing your guard so fast" 😂
I agree with everything but a character being bad (kensei) and skill based aren’t mutually inclusive. Kensei is easy to play skill wise he just also sucks unfortunately.
Kensei is easy to play but not easy to be good with
he only has basic attacks and like 1 or 2 combos
Everything else is just mixups hoping to land a hit or being a cuck and just having a staring conest until your opponent attacks so you can parry
Eeeh, I don't even want to bother
Yep I tried to warn people, but I guess not everyone can spot obvious bait
aramusha is not very good. kensei is pretty well balanced. even kyo is not very good for 1s, and nobu is the worst duelist in game lol.
Nobody is not lol
Beat me to it
a kensei player ofc dodge heby and when it doesnt work start feint spamming
I'm sorry... Did you legitimately just try to tell me someone FEINT spams? Tell me you're low skill without telling me you're low skill.
Go play your HL, WL and Shugoshit lol, Master of Boredom ofc youve probably never faced a decent kensei yet here you are talking about low skill lol, what is your peak silver or maybe gold lol
Nobody still spams the dodge lmao. And feint spam? Have you fought a kensei above rep 3?
classic kensei player, what do you do then smart guy, stay and watch ? lol
Aramusha is literally broken, kensei is even worse, kyoshit is literally maybe the most broken character in game If we do not account for bp maybe, nobushi is literally unplayable against if u fail to parry or block a singular light attack
ara is complete shit? unless you don’t know how to guradbreak then maybe yeah he’s broken.
if you stay away from walls kensei is pretty ass and even if you do he’s still slightly above average
kyo is complete dogshit altogether, i don’t play him much but the only real good part about him is his kick and the health steal. other than that he’s bp but much shittier in 1s and 4s
and if you can’t block a light attack you don’t get to decide who’s good and who isn’t.
I don't agree with OP, but saying Ara and Kyo are complete shit is a bad take as well lmao, Ara's biggest issue is his stamina, other than that his bash is still unreachable, and deadly feints are still deadly lol; he also has one of the best dodge attacks in the game. Once he gets a stamina buff he's gunna be great
Kyoshin while not the best duelist in the game, is completely serviceable. He shines in 4s where his feats are some of the absolute strongest in the game, and just one mistake with him can lead to a 55+ health swing with Fujin cut followups; he has great hotboxes, and is one of the absolute best gankers in the game
And Kensei?! ..Yeah I wish my boy was better..
yeah that’s fair enough. tbh it’s more so the fact that legion bashes are really important and ara can feel really clunky without one. He’s also been power crept to high he’ll because he used to be fantastic.
kyo is in a similar spot to nobu where he’s great in 4s and just mid in 1s. i have to admit i rarely play him but he’s definitely solid in certain spots and damage is relatively high too.
Musha doesn't have a bash, it's a pin
Who decides ? You ? Players that have never played the game versus actual players because they were too busy to rep up with AI and now cant play the game ? there are players who literally use bp or kyoshit stance last possible moment to use their moves and whatnot, not like those who you face that are probably standing there waiting to get gbed, none of the samurai are balanced and if you claim the opposite then you are either trash or dont even play the game
it’s clear you’re going full tard and just want people to agree with you and go apeshit when you’re wrong. byebye
Aramusha has the worst soft feints in game, you can dodge his heavy and light on a single timing. He's got the recovery cancel all guard to compensate vs dodge attacks but that only covers some of the cast and even then you just have to make a read on when to dodge and when to dodge attack.
Kensei is absolutely ass from neutral. If you let him get into his pommel strike mixup he's pretty good but from neutral he has nothing but his top heavy soft feints. GB him, light attack him when you see a top indicator, just don't let him get into his offense because he's extremely slow.
Kyoshin is literally just a less effective BP. Almost the exact same kit just with a traditional all guard vs being able to counter anything.
Nobu is quite literally the worst 1v1 character in the entire game. If you can't block lights then you'll have more problems than just her. She has very good defense so if you're being 100% aggressive vs her then it makes sense why you'd lose. Her weakness is that she has absolutely nothing to open anyone up with, zero offense whatsoever.
Compared to the other factions they do have some super annoying characters, but kensi my beloved one day I'll find one that uses at least half his fkin moveset.
Kensei is pretty balanced aside from a few tweaks he needs.
Nobushi isn’t op even at a mid skill level
If you think the samurai faction is OP just wait till you see the Vikings. Completely unbalanced and braindead on every front. The average Raider and Berserker players would take a shit on even the best samurai players lol.
Definitely will, hard agree! But just wait till you see the insert faction here heroes. Completely unbalanced and braindead on every frontier. The average Insert random hero and Ins random hero players would take a shit on even the best viking players lol.
You sound just like a zerker main who cant even play the game lol. I bet you can’t even parry nobushi light attacks lol(EASIEST PARRY IN THE WHOLE GAME). Maybe you should actually learn to play the game before posting here lol?
