Why people hate PK? | Forums

You are aware PK's side attack is a heavy, right?

Zerks is a light, why shouldn't it be faster?

Sure but the pks side dash attack only has a two frame parry window.

Yeah!! There are lots of reason behind this why people hate this but one thing I am not sure that what are the major things behind this. So still searching for right reason!!!

People hate PKs because deep down they closely remind them of their ex. She looks innocent, gets in close and stabs you three times and walks away smiling knowing that she just killed you.

Its a comment that people with a certain life experience simply don't want to recognise.

The PK light is slower than berserker light and berserker can feint lights, but somehow people can parry him but no pk so i still dont get it

The thing is the Zerker can't chain lights together like the PK, who can literally do it until she runs out of stamina, preventing you from ever landing a guard break. On console it is nearly impossible to consistently block PK light attacks, I have an average reaction speed of about 250ms which is nothing to write home about, but should be fast enough that I can at least block them. But no, on console it feels like the whole thing takes about 200ms start to finish.

So when she gets someone panicking doing this, they'll likely either try for a GB, or to try and get their own attacks in, in which case the PK can casually dodge away and launch a dash heavy with a follow up stab for essentially no effort.

Simply put, the PK is WAY too fast in all her movements that she's a complete anomaly as an Assassin, similar to how the Shugo operates nothing like the other heavies.

And if PK is so OP then why are Shugokis, Warlords and Wardens in tournament finals? I know because in tournament level u cant just spam light cause people can parry them. Against Warden vortex just roll away and when he dashes back to you and starts it again? "You roll away" and when u out of stamina? You cant roll anymore so you are basically fcked
I dont complain about PK I just parry her light attacks nothing crazy. And Shugokis run "just dash away" and if he gbs you? U dashed so u cant counter gb so please tell me more how can you play against these 3 characters but not against PK.

Because PK was so OP she was banned

Isn't it because PK were banned?
Her light spam and ZA mix is incredibly annoying and strong - that's the reason.
Also, PK should be "difficult" character, but with that damage and speed she might be moved to "easy".
Also she can literally destroy characters with slow guard stance speed, like LB or Raider.
Also flick, but that was fixed...i think?..
Also she is some kinda meme already.
PK might be not THAT much OP, but still she's a very strong and infuriating character to face.
