Kyoshin needs to be tweaked
Dont get me wrong kit is amazing but he needs HUGE BUFFS, and faster animations for a few attacks , and im scared Ubi wont do anything about it ,so far all newly released heroes were busted and now thats a Samurai he is weak, also if he doesnt get tweaked he will always be a F or low D Tier Heroat max in the longrun since some animations are waaaay too Crooked and slow and like i stated before he needs a damage buffs
He needs some form of parry punish. He's called a "Defense Heavy" character but he has no parry punish. He also has no gank protection because if someone hits after his first full block counter attack, then he gets interrupted
I reallly enjoy him but he feels really slow and weak, the full guard is so bad for damage. 4 hits to get 20 dmg. Don't get me wrong it looks good but functionally it's terrible. And the unblockable is just useless half the time because it just gets interrupted.
the buffs are N e c e s s a r y He is weak.
EDIT:
- By playing him further i noticed that his Stamina is quite low , he is able to put out a lot of attacks, but with that Damage/Stamina Ratio, its just not efficient enough to be considered balanced
- Another thing is that people can forward dodge into your kick , knocking you back and basically denying you the follow up , Kick is also Easily dodgeable and leaves you exposed because of the
bad recovery
- Hitboxes feel like they are getting worse and worse the more i play.
- Some attacks only do damage after the whole animation is done even tho the sword already hit the enemy
- Some Slashes go through for only a portion of the way the blade travels... and not the whole way , meaning that unless the enemies that are next to you are really close , you wont be able to external hit them, Ive experienced Gryphon also doing external damage with each of his attacks (except Top Attacks Obviously) so i think this might be a hitbox issue tied to the blade hitbox, what makes me think that is freezes video, where at some point he adresses the hitbox issues and you can se on the video that the blade goes through the enemy but does no damage (not sure if its just a for honor thing or if other characters also have that issue)
- Something that would be nice , is if he gets Some Hyperarmor on some attacks , doesnt have to be all of them , only some
- and a slight health tweak would be nice too , maybe like 5 or 10 HP more (and the Tough as nails Feat could be removed , depending on how much the health will be tweaked
