    Changes from beta -> release?

    Feels like parrying and guard breaking works a little bit differently? Anyone have the details? What about hero changes? Really like transparency in patch notes for things like this if you're reading ubi, would be much appreciated.

    and here are those beta changes they were talking about hero wise:

    "Kensei
    Base HP increased from 120 to 125
    Light Attack openers damage increased from 15 to 20
    Light Attack 2nd Hits In Chain damage increased from 15 to 20
    Helm Splitter damage increased from 15 to 20
    Swift Strike damage increased from 15 to 20
    Fixed a bug where you could perform a Swift Strike, then you could launch a Top Heavy that would come out way faster than usual


    Warlord
    Headsplitter Leap range reduced from 4m to 3.5m
    Headbutt startup can no longer be cancelled into Guardbreak - (EDITED 10:15am EST)
    Headbutt stamina damage reduced from 40 to 20
    Full Block Stance Entry stamina cost increased from 5 to 15


    Peacekeeper
    Zone Attack initial range reduced from 4,3m to 3,5m
    Dagger Cancel now all deal 1 damage point on top of Bleed (Left stance Cancel used to be 0)


    Orochi
    Storm Rush now has the correct stamina extra penalty if parried
    Attack indicator is now visible during the run part of the Storm Rush Attack"

    assume any other "change" someone claims to be false unless they have solid evidence to back it up.

    Holy crap... that's quite a buff, was the really THAT bad off before these? This explains why Kensei seem so strong despite the fast attack/recovery speeds.

    the above list was the changes from closed to open beta. guard breaking and parrying feels different in live. the topic default linked seems to cover some things but is missing concise information

    You are absolutely correct. They changed GB timing, grabbing after a parry works differently. Blocking actually feels different on some chars. There are no patch notes for this, and the game feels a lot different from beta builds.

    He is not that strong. That buff does not address Kensei's main weakness, which is a lack of tools. He cant land any of those attacks against a semi-decent opponent. They are too slow and telegraphed. There is a tier-list around the forums, and while I don't agree with everything in there, I do agree with the fact that Kensei is garbage.
