How to block shinobi shinobi throw and drag skill | Forums

Yeah, I'm little concerned about this too. I can block sided attacks but not GB. But I need time to check if it is really an issue.

I dont get it why it shouldnt be an issue sorry :-)
Got this situation yesterday in every single match a shinobi was part of the enemy team.

I asked myself if im too stupid for this... This needs a CLEARLY indication. A character that isnt seen cant simply attack you like a character that is seen by you.
Sorry i dont get how studpid this is? Doesnt Ubisoft think 5 minutes of what they do? Do they even test their gamemodes? Because in 1v1 duells its okay, cause i see him and his animations.

CGB when the weapon touch you, so depending the distance the timing change. It's about pay very attention.

After that the Shinobi will fall and you will get a stagger, it's odd. The best way to punish is unlock and throw a heavy.

Uhm it is really easy. You see them whirling their Weapon -> this means they charge. Now they have 2 Options: "Heavy" Attack in one direction (if it hits it does not deal alot damage imo) or they can go for a GB. Just CGB as if you would a melee GB. Managed to do it constantly after 2-3 fights.

If you CGB his ranged GB he will fall to the ground and you get a free Heavy on him. My opponent Shinobi's learned pretty quickly that they should NOT go for a ranged GB on me in Duel. In 4v4 Modes it is different though, dont like the ranged GB from out of sight, too.

I know what GB is but what is CGB?

Yes it is really hard to CGB a GB thrown at you when you are not even aware that there is ANOTHER guy in combat. That is what I experienced alot in Dominion the last days, it is a mess right now and completely unplayable if you face a team consisting only of Cents and Shinobis.

You cannot watch your back while locking on your enemy, so every ranged GB (who the f*ck thought this was a good idea!?) has a 90% probability to be not CGB. Your only chance is to always look on radar. Oh wait, Shinobi could have Stealth as Level 1 feat. You are f*cked...

Yesterday I played Skirmish, got surrounded by 3-4 Cents/Shinobis 2 times. There is NOTHING you can do. 0 Control over Character left. This didnt happen before when fighting multiple opponents, there was always time to react. Gone. In the end we won anyway, but those moments felt bad like the Endboss of DukeNukem3D shooting 5 Rockets and 1000 Bullets at once on you back in the days...

Absolutely. Ubisoft did a big mistake overpowering these 2 heros. It's not fun playing againts them

Yeah, I can honestly confirm all of this...unfortunately Attacks aren't so much of an issue (block/parry as you would with normal attacks) but GB from attacker that I don't see or not aware of is seriously hard. And with the buff to their punish it will be even more of this.
