hi everyone, i playing the beta and atm i'm maining Conqueror and Raider. I have problem fighting assassin classes because of their speed and their strange guard but i here i just need to practice. but against nobushi i cannot figure out what i should do: her attacks are very quick and have a long range, and my chars are kinda slow; do you have any suggestions to give me please?

well im playing with nobushi, and im having a hard time with conquerors and warlords. The conqueror BOT is way too overpower, they start swingin that flail waiting for you to attack, then they have 100% chance of blocking and counter attacking any attack you make against them. These 2 classes can easily counter the nobushi, just make sure you use your defensive stance.
And speaking of which, that nobushi's "hidden stance" its kinda buggy right now, the sensitive zone in the analog is almost impossible to activate, its like an master lockpick level in skyrim. But really... its too crap to even complain, i dont see any use for that stance , i rather just...dodge

That is false, I play Peacekeeper and Nobushi is an easy match. The trick is to make her think you are within her reach, and when she attacks use a tehnique that can close the distance while she misses the attack and strike, then keep the pressure, she sucks at close range.

I think Nuboshi is fine atm, It's just they didn't give us the Lawbringer or the Valkyrie to match her. But I've been playing Nobushi mostly in 1v1's and atm I'm prestige 1 lvl 2. I'm not sure how the matchmaking goes but I'm always up against players who could easily kill me. And I only manage to kill them because I played against their class so many times I figured out what to look for and how to counter it. Nobushi has low stamina so there's only so much she can do. Memerize which moves lands a bleed strike and block it. Heavies waste to much stamina so most Nobushi's rarely use it.
-If your a tank just slowly box her in, block her bleed and get her in a corner she's just as squishy as the assassins.
-Orochi's can either spam Storm Rush with works if the Nobushi is bad but keep in my she out ranges you so she can hit you out of it, and using side step slashes work a lot also.
-Peacekeeper can also use side step attack to get in close for those stabby stabs. (I love fighting Peacekeepers because it just a race to see who stacks more bleeds and the round always ends with a victory but then they drop from the bleed also)
-Berserkers just need to use that running jumping overhead, the Nobushi can't knock you out the animation and once you get in close she has to push you away or else she's done, and if she distances her self from you just charge it up again, it really pisses her off and it does a lot of damage that can also be followed up on.
-Wardens are the closet to match the Nobushi with the Claymore, with those strong overheads and fast swings if she doesn't block she going to be in pain.
-And for Kensei's I don't know I've only seen like 3 of them in the 1v1's 4
I hope this helps, this is just from my experience from playing the Nobushi for over 10 hours and what other players have used in order to kill me. Which will work on the majority of Nobushi if you do it correctly.

I don't exactly have a ton of experience vs them or as them but they seem like a pretty typical zoning focused character. They're fast, deal a lot of damage (A bit too much but that's besides the point.) but are made of paper. It seems like most will be attempting to keep you out with her very long range poke, lights, or chaining into kick to create distance.
The big poke is pretty fast but has a lot of ending lag, reading that is pretty much GG as anyone capable of doing good damage since she'll fall over in 3 good hits. She can also cancel a lot of her moves into a special stance, but this makes her stationary which gives you time to move in her. Just be wary for a kick. In a 1v1 it's more a waiting game to try to dodge past her spear and kill her. In 2v2 or 4v4 anyone with CC can just take her down if she's not focused on you.
Vanguard's armor also ruins her day. Anyone with armor really ruins her day, since she's all single strikes. Whatever you do, stay patient, if you start throwing yourself onto her spear you're making her job easier.
