Centurion is a perfect example of bad design.
This character is pure cancer. I don't even know if there is a point explaining this - if the devs don't understant why disabling characters are a bad idea, there's no helping this game.
People play this game to fight. Constantly taking control away from them with stuns and random knockdowns is just annoying and completely breaks the flow of the fight. That stupid ground attack is even worse - the camera change is just pointless, breaks the flow and slows down the game - no other character has this kind of stuff. Wonder why, huh?
As I said - bad, stupid design at it's finest. A character that might be fun to play with, but it's a complet cancer to play against. How do you get all those aweful ideas Ubi?

Other people can attack you at this point very hard. You can counter gb the shinobi at this point i know, but not every time ! People shouldnt be taken out of controll other than beeing pushed into wall, falling from ledges or normal gb or gb oos throw to the ground.
:/
Other than that the Cent is very fun to play. But strong at the moment. What might be, because most people dont know his setup and how to punish. But even then he is very strong.

Took me 4-5 Fights on each to figure out how to counter the unblockables of Centurion and Shinobi. They are like Headbutt / Shove / Nobu Kick etc, get the timing right and punish. People just need to learn the timings on those moves and the animation which tells you that it is gonna come now.
Dont whine about it, get gud and wreck em!
The only thing that is really fcked is the ranged Shinobi Attack / GB. Facing 3 Shinobi in Elim alone is like fighting with a Knife against Guns. They just run away, harass you and you cannot do ANYTHING except react on every bullet they shoot at you.

In 4v4 mode the damage you take in outnumbered situations is insane. Add to this centurion and it's a rek-fest.
The fact he has so many unblockables and fast chains etc is one thing, but the real problem comes in with the amount of CC-spam and lockdown. It means everybody else gets to whale on you endlessly. The game feels unbalanced.
To much cc
to much damage
to many incoming attacks.
Shinob's range harassment further exasperates the issue.
Saw all this coming from a mile away XD

Centurion is strong, but dodging and keeping distance is key (so far that is what I have found).
Also keep stance up and dodge that kick.
As for the Shinobi, yet to find a good way to combat the class. Tend to hang back and try and parry their ranged attack. Has worked somewhat but I am sure there is better ways to fight them.
