Dodging, spam attacks and throwing | Forums

[LickMyLemons257]

So i am currently playing on PlayStation rep 8 Nobushi. i just wanted some help with a couple of things.

1. kensei's over the top dodging for tho who played with/against him you know what i mean its easily blocked but it makes him next to impossible to hit unless i use a gaurd break or get lucky. now i am not saying its op cos its not really i just parry it and carry on from there but i want so advice on how to better avoid that.

2. PK(PeaceKeepers) and her insanely fast dodge and ability to just run way all the time when they get low on health. i play a lot of skirmish and i really enjoy in unless i am up against 3 PK i mean fighting one that just holds there dodge button down is hard enough but fighting 3 of them at a time just hurts especially when you get them all down to low HP so they just ran away get a load of power ups and come back and f you. the only way i deal with a PK is just guard break which i know is a noob way too play but i just cant deal with the players that are good with them as Nobushi

3. Berserkers and Orochsi, there ability to dodge attack such as i go for an attack and they dodge and attack at the same time (no i don't mean the parry kind) again for those who play this game alot you know what i mean. i can just sit there and not attack them but i don't like to do that i just wanna get in there and they also lose no stamina doing it.

4.lawbringers and Berserkers(again) so for those who dont know lawbringer does not need a buff like some people say you just need to learn how too be a massive dik with him which is actually quite easy firstly the pushing that you cannot avoid, the amount of times i get spammed with that thing is ridiculous you can stand there hitting him while he does it and it will do nothing it will carry on with the push and then while stunned he will attack and then repeat. yes you can just dodge out of the way then hes easy to kill yes but if he gets you in a corner youre dead straight up. and the same with the Berskerker the spam of the light attacks without losing any stamina is just wtf.

5. raiders, warlords and lawbringers(again) the hole thing i have with theses ones and the throwing distance i have been aginest all if these with maxed out throwing distances and my god i dont think i could be carried half way across the map before the fact that all these heroes do is throw you of anything to kill you is so unhonourable it hurts such as getting any of these people low on hp for them too judt pick you of and take you too a cliff and throw you off i mean countering a guard break is hard enough but the fact if you let one get you youre dead


I think that was mostly everything, i am not saying all of theses heroes are not easy to fight because most of them are and i am not saying that any heroes that i havent listed dont have things that annoy me and yes i know Nobushi is also very annoying to play against. please leave some suggestions and stuff that annoys you or how you deal with things like this

You are doing it right! As a PK main who dodges a fair amount, you get a free GB if we are attempting to dodge and it really messes us up if you do it more than once. We have to consider every time we dodge that you may GB. But the key for Nobushi vs PK is distance. Keep your guard up top and to the left if she approaches you. Other than a jumping stab, zone attack, or a raw guard break, there is nothing she can do to open you up, especially if you're keeping a fair amount of distance.

Yeah, simple fix for me is get rid of the unblockables and throwing, its become a unblockable spam and throw game, instead of a sword fighting game, or at least seriously nerf those mechanics. they could add more plains of blocking, so include the diagonals, so the 3 become 7 would make the game much harder but more blanced, also would add new ways to attack, i.e the constant dodgers would be meet by a horizontal attack, only something you can do with a zone attack at the moment.

just my 2 cents worth.

very true but the lunge closes the distances instantly which makes it hard to get away from her as much as its easy to block Nobushi losing i bit of momentum and is open to a GB and also light attacks and if the play is good they will not let you keep the distance for more than a couple of seconds. ehich im sure you know being a PK main youj want to keep close

Good idea but i dont think 7 would be a good idea for blocking wise if you see my point but i would like too see some more attacks and things like thank ty

Eh, what?
The Shove does no damage, doesn't guarantee any follow-up of any kind and doesn't lead to a wallstun. He's in fact so slow a light attack from you straight after a Shove will hit him before his light attack will hit you. To not even speak of how easy it is to CGB him if he tries a GB. Oh and you play Nobushi, who in fact outrange the Lawbringer as well, do you know how many times I've parried and used a Blind Justice on her only for her to walk, WALK, not dodge, WALK backwards out of reach.

As for Ledge kills, you screwed up, only a handful of Heroes can do ridiculous throws, he's not one of them. He have four options to throw you of a ledge, however:
1) His throws have decent range, yet GB are easily countered,
2) Impaling Charge, very telegraphed, slow, easily avoidable and not (easily) aimable,
3) Impaling Ripose, can only be activated by a Parry, however is still Blockable, very telegraphed and, you guessed it, slow.
4) The Long Arm, well... what can I say, it's slow, telegraphed and he has to stand with his back towards a drop, at very ledge, meaning any stagger will most likely knock him off.

Need I go on?

for one i never said the shove did any damage, and it does acutally wall stun which even tho his light attack maybe slow can do a light attack without a chance of a block. now if it was out in the open lawbringer is one of the easier heroes too beat because he is slow agreed on that part. as for ledge kills the GB is mostly the same for all heroes so point one is invalided, point two easily avoidable IF its a 1v1 and like i stated i play a lot of skirmish as soon as its not a 1v1 it doesnt matter if its hard too aim he can just run away come back and impale in any direction same with raider. the impaling ripose i have to agree with you it complete **** tbh way too slow and as for the long arm that is just so get someone on the floor not for cliff kills.


Ty for your input


Edit:i believed that they the shove stunned on wall impact when is acutally doesnt (sorry about that)

I would suggest actually playing all the classes you have mentioned you have issues with so you can better understand their strengths and weaknesses. For example, you said beserker light attack spamming and that's not what they do. Beserkers initiate an infinite chain by connecting with a light, then a heavy, then a light, and a heavy and so on. However, to break this chain and gb them you simply just block the light attack in that combo. And as for fighting any assassin goes especially as a character with range like the nobushi, you want to bait them into being aggressive towards you and not play into their game of counter striking. You want to interrupt their rhythm with well placed guard breaks, parries, and ranged counter attacks of your own.

i have play with every class mentioned and i do understand the strengths and weaknesses like i made it clear. the Beserkers infinite chain attack isnt a problem unless you stuck near a wall which, if you good, should be an issue anyway. i am simpling stating some things that are a bit unbalanced in the game, i can list a thing that annoys me with every hero just a good Beserker annoys me


Ty for your input.

[Sincerity117]

Yea I understand. I think with every class there's always going to be that one other class that kinda counters your character's playstyle. Like I used to main warden when the game first came out and I absolutely hated the orochi, but now I main Kensei and I tear orochi's to pieces and most other classes except for a good conqueror or warlord but even with them I just bait the headbutt and shield bash the whole time and counter with light attacks. I think the best thing about the nobushi that I see them expend on is that her range is really misleading at times
