    Is mouse and keyboard competitive?

    Im just curious, do you guys feel that mouse and keyboard players will be able to compete vs controllers? I felt like i had reasonable success with m+kb. But i'd like to know what you guys think of this.

    I have M&K and have no problems at all. It's all practice.

    Oh boy... controller... Not gunna lie, those xbox elite controller players were wreaking havoc... So much more of an advantage over K+M just gotta say that...

    You can K+M though, feels worlds different from EZ controller mode though...

    Steep learning curve for M&K but once you get used to it, its fine, Controller really is the way to go for this game though imo

    the problem with mouse for block it's pretty unstable , i'm not sure if i should set the sensitivity to 20 or 0 , on 20 it's fast and very unstable , on 0 it's 2 slow to block direction attack inbetween it becomes unstable again , someone with better experience can he share his configuration

    thanks

    As long as you have a 4th button your mouse that you can assign the Guard Break to, yeah. Or assign it to F on keyboard. Somewhere close. Changing guards is not an issue since all you have to do is a very slight wrist movement. I was very comfortable with the default settings for the block and mouse sensitivity.

    I was playing the Ps4 beta first, then I downloaded the PC version.

    Disclaimer: I have a mouse with 5 keys.

    When I played the PC version I was thinking "Why did I ever play with controller?". For me, blocking with the mouse is so much quicker, easier and more responsive, blocking guard breaks was also much easier.

    Just before the end of the beta I tried the PS4 version again and it felt slow and unresponsive, I couldn't block combos nearly as well as on PC.

    The only thing that was easier PS4 version were deflects. A/D+Space is a little hard to time well

    This is a xbox game ported to PC. So because that reason i will use a gamepad because the game was made thinking about consoles.

    Also if someone host a tournament is 99.9% on a XBONE.
