    PK most op character

    No matter what i do or who i play i always get destroyed by PK. Her attacks are way to quick leaving zero chance to block. Then her leap has ridiculous range. And on too of all that her bleed damage just drains your health. Bleed and poison should just be removed from the game.

    Lunging attack is okay since you can just hold top block and bleed is annoying but not much worse than gb heavy. PK's attack speed is a problem though. Between the stagger from hits and latency, the slower classes can't change guard fast enough to block light chains.

    Im sorry, while Pk's are defeintly the strongest, the most OP goes to Warden only because of the shoulder bash. If it wasn't for the fact he can cancel the bash into aguard break, Warden wouldn't be broken. Problem is, the bash is too strong as it is.

    i main PK and i think you're somewhat wrong.
    Sure she's quick , but got zero unblockable and questionable ways to initiate. basically she's only op if you take someone by surprise in dominion.
    If we consider all modes altogether ; i'm under the impression that warlord/conqeror and shugoki (and even warden sometimes) are all on top of her.

    *if you play with her you'll notice she's really got nothing special except gimmicky bleeds that many opponents mitigate (thick blood passive negates it too)
    -zero unblockables, zero throwdowns, everything is avoidable one way or another....

    just know that she lunges with a top attack all the time, if she goes for a side dash before lunging just block whichever side she dashed towards.
    once you know this she can't lunge to you and will have to pull out weird feints to engage xD
    light attacks spam? no problem just block whatever you can and tough it out a bit, she's out of stamina and it's your turn.

    *i'll agree that the zone attack is pretty damn OP with revenge/attack build though.

    She is op against certain classes who cannot change their guard fast enough to block her light attack spam. In that regard she is more op than warden or warlord. She could use either a slow down of her light attacks or a limit on the combo to 3.

    What's funny is that one of the best PC PK players just tried playing on console and had to immediately quit as he instantly noticed that since the game's performance is reduced you simply cannot react fast enough to block/parry a PK's light attacks.

    Sorry I still hate fighting Orochi and think they are beyond OP as opposed to the PK

    Imo, Warlord is the best character so far, he has so many ways to open you up, he can throw you off a duel area in one GB and his heaadbutt, his fooking headbutt.

    Also speaking as a pk main, what exactly is a "wierd" feint? Feinting the first attack of the ZA, cos that's all you realy need to do.... ZoneFeint -> Light -> light -> HeavyFeint -> light -> light -> HeavyFeint -> Light -> Light etc untill you're outa stamina, tho the oponent will prolly fall over by then. And no it's "nobody's turn" when you're out of stamina as the dodge speed / lenght is not affected by exaustion.

    Granted if you can't open up the oponent to get into the light light feint chain then yeah she's.... laughable, slow heavy's and the bleeds are... nothing, gb into stab is just gb into heavy... without the executions.

    He's the super secret way to beating PK tho... allways _ALLWAYS_ keep your guard to the right, that's where the zone attack comes from, if you can keep a PK from getting in with the zone attack feint well... "squish"
