The Centurion is OP. It just is. | Forums

[JordanGed]

All of his attacks seem to be chainable variations of knockdowns, unblockables, stuns and that god awful health destroying ground stab.

One chains into the other and even though you know exactly what's coming, you're powerless to stop it. You cannot dodge and you cannot block 90% of the time, he's like a heatseeking missile.

It needs to be toned down just a touch. Maybe taking the unblockable or some of his knockdowns away so it's more difficult to get the ground stab; that's what kills me most of the time and it's every single game that it happens in. Or even just toning down the effect of the punch so you can even remotely see what's going on.

Also that team shielding is BS. Not only is he OP himself, but it's then like trying to face 8 enemies as they all have double health.

It'd be fine if there was some way to counter his huge chain attacks, but you know once he starts it that that's it for you, no hope of getting out.

This.



But i agree that his 4th feat is a bit broken right now and totally game changing.

Really? You think phalanx is so op?

That or catapult?

We can try shield our team, or potentially 1 shot the whole of yours.

But then, all knights have catapult..

Shields go quickly, both through damage and timer.

Catapult will kill you anyway.

If you cant get out of a Cent chain... you need to learn what those 2 buttons that makes you dodge do, or the 2 that makes you parry. Either or. Both need timing, both work, both allow you to punish the Centurion.

Potentially, the catapult can one shot the team, but for this you need multiple factors.

Phalanx is a 100% shielded team for sure, at any moment you use it. Even at the first seconds of a new Elimination round. I let you guess who is the strongest, even in term of value.

But catapult is a bit broken too yeah, but not as much.

I concur completely. I am by no means a pro at this game but I know I'm not terrible and I think its getting out of hand with the amount of move sets that stun, disorient, or otherwise take control away from my character. "Learn to dodge" is the biggest joke in this game. Dodge the Cents kick? He can attack again before you can, where is the punishment for him missing? Get parried? Start a combo that takes half of your health away while you just sit there and watch

It used to feel like a game where if you made a mistake you were punished and if your opponent made a mistake you punished him that relied on skill and timing and the only person you could blame one way or the other was yourself. Now it feels like if you're not playing whatever the OP flavor of the week character is spamming whatever the latest stunlock combo is you're just struggling to keep up. I keep playing this game because I WANT to enjoy it but I find myself getting frustrated more and more. When I fight a Centurion or Shinobi I honestly feel like I'm fighting Characters from a completely different fighting game that were shoehorned into this game.

Dodging doesn't work, your player doesn't move away or to the left/right in time nor far away enough.

This.

I know that I'm good at this game. Could consistently win and do very well each game last season. Now I struggle to reach 600 points a game.

[Sincerity117]

He's extremely easy to kill.... dunno wtf you're talking about

[Epoqx]

Oh yea, and the second highest base defense in the game (lol).

Where did you get the numbers ?

[Epoqx]

Btw yeah he got low health. Less than any close range character, with less mobility, less defensive stats. He is like a heavy without the tankiness, and a Light without the mobility. But anyways made a big thread today concerning all of this.
