    Nobushi 100% Win Strategy

    1) In round 1, attack attack attack!
    2) Get salty after being parried continually
    3) Stop attacking
    4) Continue to block and go for the occasional parry
    5) Keep blocking

    Result: The enemy either loses in the long term or rage quits...
    This strategy is just simply...DELICIOUS

    Lol, okay..?

    If you're good enough to block all light spam and feints from fast character as a Nobushi, then I tip my hat to you. As a Nobushi main, our slow guard change makes me wish I could block/parry like that.

    About the one good thing in the pk rage thread earlier was that someone posted a youtube video that proved the whole guard stance thing is a myth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSWm4YIPd1U

    Ok, so most of it is just me failing to block correctly for the most part. As with others. Good evidence. Knowledge is power as they say. So really again (for the most part) guard speed is the same.

    Unless guard switch is spammed in the case of heavier characters. And in fairness, 30 frame rate, reactions are harder than pc which that was shown on, but guard switch is the same all in all..

    lol, guard switch the same all in all... Have you even played the game? That video proves nothing. The guy just switches stances. Pls, Pick conqueror and actually block your opponent's attacks. Try him a few games. Then Switch to Nobushi or Lawbringer. Try the same thing.

    Yes, as the nobushi come to that. Did you miss the part where he gave in game examples? Such as the nobushi blocking a peacekeeper? Or did you decide not to watch it all?

    PC Keyboard. What about console deadzones? How much delay does that add when I'm slamming the stick around

    I don't know, I didn't do the vid and yeah frame rate and dead zones are things, it is just that people demanding an increase in change speed are asking for something they already have.
