1: Biggest issue is being kicked from matches this is happening alot as in 75-80% especially on 4 v 4.
2: Blocking isn't as responsive as it should be it still feels very random if the game will pick up the new direction your blocking or attacking. I kept attacking upward despite holding left. This happens a lot and the quickness it switches when it does work is hit or miss to be sure.
3: Glitches as in killing people just to have them hop back up this has only happened once but it was odd to say the least.
4: Damage for the heroes are all over the place with Vikings seeming to get the short end overall.
I was excited for this game but with this being the beta so close to release i can't help but have my reservations about this game I will continue with the beta as this is a first impression but so far it isn't looking good.Possibility is there execution is close but lacking.
With that being said you can tell they work hard on this to get it to this point it looks amazing visually mechanically it has some issues though. Very close guys keep tweeking.
Agree with all your points. However, there are ton more issues in the game. I still think the balancing is far from satisfactory as a melee fighting game and some features that should not be there which make the game less enjoyable and just down right frustrating. I wasn't happy with the alpha but I thought i would give em a chance with the beta, but still very unhappy with the changes if they even did any.
I agree with all you both said , i find the game play very frustrating , the blocking is way to slow to respond ,i am just not enjoying the game play at all ,whats the fatigue about , dam i have never seen a battle where you have to run away all the time, its ridiculous in its current form, i have to say its the first game i have ever played the player v player is easier than playing the AI , great concept , great looking but i am sad to say the fighting system just does not work imo
His little counter attack is bs. If you're striking up, he can pull his sword bank to the side and attack you in mid animation. Also the gaurd block is so inconsistent especially when using kensei/orochi. Died too many times from bs animations especially once you hit the ground it's basically over.
