Nobushi's Disadvantage | Forums

[PLUR-Police]

As the title suggest Nobushi aside from Shugoki is the slowest character in the game. From her reaction time to attack speed and even hidden stance is slow.I fully understand the the nerf in open beta, it's not that she was "over powered". It's just that in essence she was a cheap character, her strikes were too fast to defend and that's not how she was supposed to be designed according to the basic and advanced training vid you gave us. However that doesn't explain why you downgraded everything else. Hidden stance is completely useless because even if you you activate it and avoid a opponents strike you would not be able to to counter due to her severely inferior attacks.


Her unblockable kicks are easily avoidable leaving her completely vulnerable and you unable to cancel them. Nobu has set strife attacks that make her that much easier to predict and easily counter due to her slow attack speed, With the Valkire 's spear sweep literally everyone with the exception of Shugoki can dodge it after a shield crush attack, why cant Nobushi? Out of all the characters currently in game, the peacekeeper is the worst among them . With her now over powered thrust, getting to nobu is the easiest thing and once she starts spamming r1 moves there's no way real way to defend. Strategic blocking is close to impossible be because her guard stances are also slow and seemingly inferior to everyone else. In short all im asking for is either a slight reaction time boost and more versatility with her move sets or make everyone's guard stances equal. That cannot be too much to ask.

Thank you for your time.

I'm pretty sure she's not the second slowest character in the game.

Her guard stance is the same speed as the LB and raider, only difference is that the nobushi is good and those two aren't.

LB's car be really good and thier reaction time is certainly superior to nobushi's

Yeah but you need to remember that she has an annoying stackable bleed effect that can kill you in like 3 hits with it, and that she does have range on her side. Her attacks aren't that slow there pretty quick but when switching side is slower than some characters but thats the equalizer i guess for the bleed effect and range.

Err ... you crazy? Nobushi is fast. Very fast.
She can spam light bleed attacks on you faster than you can blink then lead into a kick followed by more attacks.
I win with my Nobushi because she is so fast.
Are you just using her zone attack or something?

Do you have the data to prove this? It is accepted that LB is the worst character in the game, with the slowest stance change.

I 100% agree with you. The dodge thrust attacks are way to fast currently and valks are just disgusting as well as warlords vs nobushi. Pk's just seem to keep distance now and use thrust attacks followed by sheild break or some side attacks before backing off. When assasins do a mix up you are left guessing in order to stop them than rather reacting to the block as it should be because it is impossible to keep up woth their hit in order to block them. Assasins, valks and warlords can just mix you up and you are left guessing to block instead of reacting to it by blocking because it's impossible to keep up with their frames. I agree nobushi needs better reaction speeds and a hidden stance that is usable, maybe then nobushi will be able to compete at high level play because currently she is at a disadvantage, that's not even including her map disadvantages which make many fights pretty stupid.
