Valk 170 Degree Turning Shield Bash Bull$*@t | Forums

[Butonfly]

Yet another broken feature on the valk that needs fixing. Infinite tracking undodgable shield bashes.

Same as with the infinite sweep tracking that's still broken as fk

Among other ******** like hyper tracking lights, undeflectables, and more tracking shield bashes.

Sweep arc needs reducing to directly in front of the valk. And all unblockables need to have a fixed line when activated. Valk gets way to many free passes. Make Valk like Shugoki demon embrace. A drag cars direct line of effect. Deferring from that line results in death and destruction for the driver.

Fix broken valk.

It's not infinite. It's 'just' bad timing - this happens when you try to dodge to fast or to slow.

WoW... looks like you dont know how to block any of her light attacks.. and your doge timing for the shieldbash and the sweep was totaly fail..

Maybe you should train your timing more and cry less?

when i have been playing as valk at high level plays my opponents sometimes didn't have trouble dodging these attacks

Yeah all the vids proved was that you need to git gud. No troll intended just utilizing a forum meme at this point.

But 1st vid, you dodged at the same time the valk released the charge. So you didn't react to it and instead you dodged in anticipation which means you dodged too soon so yes it will track you as most moves do if you dodge too early.

2nd vid I'm not even sure what the problem is here. I'm assuming the light tracking as you rolled away? Cause that's completely normal and intended. She did top lights in her chain to track and catch your roll. If you meant the sweep that caught your side dodge, you dodged way too early, again you spammed dodge instead of dodging the sweep on reaction so it hit you. Sometimes this move will catch side dodges if you dodged in the same direction the sweep travels. Backdash is always a safe bet though, one time I was cornered and I even managed to forward dash to avoid the sweep lol.

3rd vid again I am not sure what the problem is. But I assume it's the shield crush at the end after the sweep knockdown where she top heavy>shield crushed you. You dodged too late so again of course it's going to track you, normally in this situation the shield crush is always dodgeable and GB punished very easily. If off a GB and she top heavy>shield crushes you cannot dodge the shield crush.

Serious advice here, stop spamming and start reacting properly. This applies on both attack and defense.

Thanks for taking the time two write up a big constructive post Cappy. I know I'm not an amazing player, and I know I was playing super **** during this particular match. I don't have a problem with the Valks toolset or her style of play. I'm simply drawing attention to mechanics I think need tweaking. I don't see why the valk should garner favor in these situations.

This is the golden quote though. Metal watches a 15 second clip and and instead of addressing the issue goes right in for the ad hominem. Here you go, here's the whole round so you can try again

May be a p2p issue

Bad p2p + bad netcode can bring some bad things

[bananaflow2017]

Y he didnt just block the second light or just dodge the sweep?
