    Looking for Raider Gameplay

    Hi guys & girls,

    since so far YouTube has been a huge letdown I hoped you could help me out.
    I'm looking for some gameplay of the previous alpha.
    Especially I am looking for Raider Gameplay (either player or opponent, both fits for me) in Duell or Brawl.
    Plase no Dominion or Botfights. If its cut and only contains wins (or only contains best-of-five-wins) please note so
    beforehand since I'll be less interessted that way but still better then nothing.
    If possible I'd appreciate videos of advanced players (like not every guardbreak thrown by whomever
    gets through) or might even high class players if you somehow got your hands even on these ones.

    Thanks in advance!

    PS:
    I'd appreciate if throwing off of ledges or into spikes/fire could be avoided too, but still this is also better then nothing.
    PPS:
    I'm german and dont get all too many english links to videos, so dont hesitate to share those you consider to be known already.
    I dont use twitch since I theoretically dont like the entire self-centered movement thats forming out of lets plays; so every video
    from there is one I practically didnt watch. Feel free to link these too!

    Heya!
    Personally I didn't do much Raider and I don't have any great footage. However I do know that ''Handheldbrandon'' has some on his twitch!
    Me fighting a raider


    Brandon playing as Raider
    Jump to 14 min, me and Brandon doing brawls, as Raiders

    Look around in Brandons channel, you'll find good footage and plays from the view of a player with experience.

    Didnt even watched a full minute of the second video and am already happy I decided to ask.
    There are two big things I lack in my gaming and these are parrying and canceling attacks, of which I am not aware of how to do the last one.
    (know how to parry basically, but dont have enough secured knowledge of other classes to perform save parrys beyond unblockables)
    Thanks!!

    /edit:
    If, by coincidence, you know how to cancel attacks as raider with mouse and keyboard (or at least with which action ingame, might be able to translate to keyboard) I'd be hella gratefulll.

    PS:
    Funny berserker gameplay. Does all this dodging work ocassionly or was it just a random try?
    PPS:
    First video I finally get to watch real gameplay with skilled players, thanks!
    You dont happen to have your / Brandon's statistics at the end of alpha around? Curious how far beneath I am.

    To feint with a controller you press B/Cirle, depending on which controller oyu use. B For xbox and Circle for Playstation. I highly recommend playing with a controller. I bought one just for this game, totally worth it.

    Canceling attacks with the raider works like the other characters. Raider also has something we like to call ''Soft feint''. Ill hit you with a link to our(Hall of heroes) Raider guide and also the Feint guide.

    Right now i gotta catch the bus, so no more time to write, ill answer more soon!

    Found what I was looking for in your HoH - Feint Guide. "Mouse wheel for PC". Thanks! Thought these actions are limited to specific classes and usually you can only feint what your moveset (like Stunning Tap for Raider) offers.
    Regarding the controller I really like playing with keyboard and since it works so fluently I will probably keep it up until I notice a disadvantage in this. But thx for the advice anyway, if necessary I have an xbox controller ready....somewhere at least!

    Thanks again and good luck catching the bus!

    Mouse and Keyboard has no disadvantages its just for most people Controller feels far more natural and pairs perfectly with this game.

    Glad you liked the Video and as MathiasCB said you can check out my Videos as I played the Raider a whole bunch during this test. If you want you can join our discord as well and ask any questions you may have there.

    The Zerk can benefit a huge amount from just dodging to keep you on your toes and give you the advantage by keeping your enemy alittle bit busy trying to follow you. Also helps to get a good feeling of some kind of flow to the combat. Dodging alot is always good but isn't needed as much as was shown in the video. Since the Zerk can go straight into a spin chop with each dodge, each dodge can be a potential attack and thus every dodge is a neat little threat to the enemy. It helps you Control your opponent in a way.
