PKs should be embarrassed | Forums

Pk is very strong. Fastest attack in the game as well as the highest damage non stam punish in the game.

Pk and WL will dominate this patch.

I have no clue why they are so unwilling to knock these 2 characters down to A tier.

If they nerf light spam before adreessing defensive meta, the game will die.

I think it's hilarious to see all these PK apologists try to put up a defense with a bunch of game theory and rationalization.

The fact remains that a kindergartner could pick up a PK and wipe the floor with 90% of the player base.

Play all of the classes and you'll find that to be the case with most of them.

Deflects are not easy and the enemy needs to either use heavy strikes or you need luck.
Soft cancel bleed need good timing and can be blocked iirc.
Deep gauge can only be used after a successful heavy strike.
Good players know how to counter guard break.

In short, your play style is difficult and counterable. If you can play this style successfully against average to good players, you have my respect.

In the past I would've said that deflecting is harder than parrying, and in a way it is, but on lights I find deflecting to be much easier. It's especially easy on the 2nd light of a combo, as I know WHEN an attack is about occur, just not from WHERE, so I can get my finger ready on the dodge button. For example, I have a lot of trouble parrying and even blocking the Valk's light light shield sweep, but I found that deflecting the 2nd light is actually much easier. On heavies I always parry unless they are a long-ranged character like the Nobushi.

Soft cancel bleed I have found is very useful against players who keep dodging. They avoid the heavy strike, but then the light catches them because it usually tracks. Even against people who side dash attack, this seems to interrupt them on occasion.

Yes, deep gouge can only be used after a successful heavy, but you'd be surprised how many dash attacks (including forward) you can get with the proper timing to punish an enemy's mistakes. If someone whiffs an attack, a regular old heavy is a good way to punish them too (tho those get blocked a lot unless you have perfect timing).

Yes good players can CGB, but even good players can't do so after a parry. Also the PK can feint a heavy into GB, and this can throw off even good players, especially when used in a combo.

I'm really excited for the next patch which will supposedly weaken her light spam, so then people can stop complaining about us, even the ones that rarely touch the L1 button. I use it on occasion, especially to stop a GB, but even when I do, I refrain from using the 2nd in the combo simply because the moment you do that it is seen as spamming. I wouldn't mind seeing the side dash attack go back to it's old damage tho, because I never feel like using it anymore.

I think it's even funnier to hear the butt hurt even after the majority of PK mains in here have even said they will be glad the light spam will be toned down. Not to mention we've given free advice on how to deal with her. The fact that you aren't paying attention to that tells me all I need to know about how adaptable a player you are.

lol, why are you saying PK will dominate on a patch that's nerfing her? and what is "the highest damage non stam punish"?

Go back to the top post. I explained how easy it was for me as a mediocre player to pick up a PK with no experience and dismantle most players. I wasn't even light spamming till I was blue in the face.

But by all means keep whining. My Raider is fueled by PK tears.

Your original post says you don't played PK before, now you say you had no experience? Which is it? Secondly, if you've been playing other characters you already have a leg up on most other fresh players in that you already know inherent game mechanics.
So really you are doing well with your PK because you now know the game better.

I don't think you actually read it. Go, try again. Maybe read it it slower this time so you don't get so confused.
