Is mouse and keyboard competitive? | Forums

No.

Switching guards between combos requries you to either time it perfectly or keep moving the mouse back and forth until it registers.

With a controller you just hold it and it changes when possible

KB + mouse is crap

Ahm, no? Guard changing is easy and fast with mouse, and the mouse is always on a similiar position on my mousepad.

I only played with a Mouse and Keyboard, and I was having a hell of a time trying to block with my mouse... it just wouldn't register fast enough. and if it was 2 or more fighting me, I was dead quick...

just went and bought a Xbox one remote to try it, but the open beta is over... guess I have to wait a few days now...

Im not talking about guard changing in general,im talking combos

When playing with mouse you have to do hit->move left->move left->move left->move left->left hit->move right->move right->move right->right hit etc , OR time it perfectly

With controller you do hit->hold right->right hit->hold left->left hit.

Because if you move your mouse somewhere before doing the next attack ,the position isnt saved until guard can be changed

I didnt have problems with combos, and why should i move my mouse somewhere before doing the attack? That doesnt make sense at all.

Because you have an extra thing you have to time that isnt needed with consoles.Whether you can do it is irrelevant,i can do it too but it doesnt mean it isnt annoying.Especially with conqueror light attack chain

I wouldnt even notice this until i read your post, so it isnt really a thing for me to time, its musclememory

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

I started the game with my ps4 controller but switched to mouse and keyboard because moving the right analog stick to the very edge of its housing the register the stance change felt too sluggish for me. I jump around for sensitivity, but i think i enjoyed between 16-20. You just need to no freak out when you see an attack. You need to almost train yourself to move your mouse precisely and only once. shakily flinging your arm up will work but if youre too shakey at a high enough sensitivity, youll end up pulling it an odd direction and screwing yourself. mouse and keyboard, for me, is definitely WAY better for playing the game competitively

Alright guys, many good points raised here. I guess i'll stick with my mouse and keyboard, and try to master the game with this, hopefully it can be done. I'd love to see some super competitive players ripping people up on the mouse / keyboard tho, just to know that it can be done.

Get a controller I played 30hours on closed beta with m/k and the open beta same time with xbox one controller, I can say to you is much better with the controller.
