Orochi

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.Originally Posted by Knight_Raime Go to original post
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.Originally Posted by YOGZULA Go to original post
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.Holy crap... that's quite a buff, was the really THAT bad off before these?
