PS4 Hidden stance | Forums

Please fix this ASAP.
On the ps4 controller its to hard to go into hidden stance whit nobushi since the warlord and the conqerour has a similar button that works fine why isnt it the same on nobushi?
this is not because of skill cause on the PC platform its just Ctrl.

I absolutely agree. We went into a custom game with 3 friends yesterday and just used the match time to practice the hidden stance. Even without any enemy and alle the time we had, we couldn't get the hidden stance to work. Its like there is only a 1 millimeter area at the bottom of the stick which counts and its basically impossible to hit especially in the middle of a fight. I don't understand why the other classes have an easy time using their special blocking stance with the right stick down, while Nobushis hidden stance only works in a minimal area on the stick. Why did the devs not see this in there internal testing? Not to forget it was mentioned pretty often in the closed Alpha and Beta tests...

Balancing issues are one thing but basic movesets not working is something i cant understand.

Same problems on PC with gamepads.
It really is the 1% area of the bottom right stick where you can do hidden stance.
I have done some testing and this game makes no sense.
For some heroes, blocking directions are divided to 3 areas. Up, left and right. All directions take about 33% of right sticks movement.
Some heroes up is 10% of stick movement, left and right are 40% and down again 10%.
Nobushi it's like down is 1%, left and right 40% and up 19%
Seems like every hero has different sized areas where to point right stick for him to do something.
I point up, or at least upper right corner and my hero blocks right..
Directional input is a joke in this game.
I have already posted a video of For Honor glitches that shows in game when i'm pointing right stick up but it's blocking left.

Yeah its annoying if i have the right thumpstick down and see my Nobushi blocking left or right, while I try to find the 1pixel area where it recognizes the correct direction Thats a real bummer, as the hiden stance is part of the heroes special abilities an movesets, which can and should be combined with many other moves as can bee seen in her advanced tutorial. Its like i can only bring her to 50 percent of her potential as half of here advanced movesets wont work without the stance.

I see nobushi using it all the time

[Raziel_85]

Probably not on console, where I have never seen one using it since the closed alpha. Which is no suprise to me, considering that its nearly impossible even if you stand still, outside of a fight in practice mode and try to move the thumpstick down and it wont work.

I hope any fix would not just apply to the downward stick abilities, although Hidden stance is certainly one of the most apparent areas where the movement detection seems to "fail". I don't want to claim that it is completely broken, but the area that triggers the effect needs to be expanded. There are times where I feel the same way with the primary 3 zones of attack/defense.

In the heat of the battle it may be difficult to tell, but there are times where it seems that direct left/right analog stick movements still trigger an upper attack/defense. Where theoretically it should be broken into thirds, the screen movements feel more like 50/25/25 in terms of % breakdown.

Yes on ps4. I have done some complex mixups, so before I make my mind up I will try the nobishi and practice hidden stance.

[FH_ellocius]

I will add my little stone on this

Also playing on PS4 and trying to use hidden stance is suicide. the stick needs a perfect vertical which take at least 3, 4 tries in practice mode to succeed. I don't even dare using in while in combat mode while under pressure.

It s a serious disavantadge compared to xbox/pc and a great loss not being able to use this stance

[Mr_Gallows]

You cannot be at a disadvantage compared to Xbox/PC because you are not fighting them. As for being at a disadvantage compared to other classes in the game on ps4 - hardly.

But the hidden stance should work of course, will give it a Whirl later.
