Why can the Shugoku one shot people occasionally with the back breaker and how is that balanced? Everyone plays him in 2v2

Only one shots if the Shugoki is in a critical state. And it's balanced because it's a heavy telegraphed move that's easily dodged. If you do dodge it that Shugoki is fucked.

That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us.

Can it not be parried?

Are unblockables not parriable? Was never clear on that.
 
Oh mannn I love this game. Except for Dominion, which I'm still not really sold on. I think the capture points encourage clusterfucks, which I don't think are bad design or anything, but the risk/reward of staying in a multi-person fight in regular deathmatch/elimination/etc is actually a bigger deal without the objectives I think. There if you run away, you are removing yourself from the scoring at all. In Dominion, if you just run to a new objective, it encourages this goofy Benny Hill shit with everyone trying to play wack-a-mole.

Dueling and 2v2 are my absolute favorites.

EDIT - I will say, as someone who is typically not too bothered by monetization stuff: this game's money grabs feel groooossss.

I really feel like they either need to nerf how much light damage does on Orochi or make it so the light attack takes more stamina to do. Cause holy shit the amount of rapid succession light attacks they can do is insane.
 
Anyone else having connection issues for large game modes? Duels and 2v2 are working fine for me, but I can barely ever complete a 4v4 without dropping out at some point

Shugoku's backbreaker is very high risk/high reward. I imagine it's very difficult to land in high level play against a Peacekeeper or Nobushi.

His knockback strike needs a distance nerf though. You can knock someone off a cliff from miles away.

See that makes more sense, it seemed like it was totally random for the 1hk, so I guess just try and bait him into it when he's low, I still think he's a bit too strong in 2v2s because of his 2/3second invisibility. I was wailing one in the back earlier while he just stood there and revived his teammate.

Do you mean invincibility? I don't know if you know, but they take additional damage when their super armor is not up. So once you bust it, keep up the pressure and try to land additional hits before it recharges.

Still my most hated opponent. They slash so fast and if someone knows what they are soing you really cant predict the direction.

I love the difference in dealing with matchups based on the character you're playing.
Orochi is one of the easiest I've fought as Warlord.
Full Guard Stance -> Headbutt -> Light Attack -> Guard Break -> Heavy Attack.
Orochi roasted.

Feeling like .5 of a second behind their guard changes while they lightly tickle you to death is the worst fucking feeling in the whole game. Especially frustrating after missing a shield bash.

Yessss. It drives me crazy!!
And they stand there looking so smug.

I have settled on Nobushi as my main and whenever I see an Orichi I panic. I need to get in the habit of stick and move because I cant get her fucking pole around fast enough to block them.
 
Anyone else think it's dumb that it cost 4500 steel to be able to customize the other 9 heroes?

You get 3500 for both tutorials and a bunch for playing the campaign (which is kind of a big tutorial too), so by the time you do all that and if you did absolutely no PvP, you'd have everyone...

Yeah I think the thread title should really say something like "DO BOTH TUTORIALS"

Yo, I'm at work, but I hear the alt-knights and neckbeards are picking on the weebs right now.

Ya'll rushing to the flavor of the month meme generators and trying to disrespect our weeb might? Or just taking advantage of the fact that all of us samurai are with our waifus today?

I saw this weeb thing on Reddit and had to look it up. Guess Im a weeb...for this season anyway and yes, we are getting demolished!

The armor packs are so overpriced. I was actually wanting to get the sakura effect, but for ~$40? Ya no thanks.
Yeah, it's pretty crazy. Even if you tried to pay for it with metal you gathered from dailies and fights, it'd take you a minimum of two weeks of regular (as in, "no-lifing" it) play to afford it.

Even the emotes and executions are really quite expensive. I'm planning on just sticking with one character and not buying any gear packs until I've maxed her out. You get enough gear from just playing the game that it's really kind of a non-issue. That'll leave me to save my metal for getting those sweet, sweet E&Es.

I just did the two tutorials and I'm overwhelmed. I will definitely need a new controller soon. And new fingers.

Servers are a joke tonight then I see. Don't know why I expected a game to work on launch to be honest. It's not like they had 3 separate online tests.

Neckbeards and Weebs..what are they calling the Knights? Tin Can or something like that?

That's what they're calling themselves. Pretty weak compared to the other names.
 
I know I missed something, but are there no reviews yet?

And yes I know this is a MP game, but that hasn't stopped reviewers before.

There were no review copies pre-release, but expect them to start trickling in tonight and over the next few days.
 
Still can't figure out this audio issue where I can't hear the voices, seems to be an issue with logitech headsets

Doesn't it unlock with the 15000 mythic outfits?

For Honor is the type of game I`m surprised anyone will support. Pay to win, always online for single player and bots (even if it`s bad), and a season pass on top of that. According to Steam reviews, people are getting disconnected all the time too.
