Countering shinobi kick on a Conqueror | Forums

[Tatsubak]

I'm having a really hard time dealing with kick spamming shinobi I've tried everything to try and counter this move and I don't seem to be getting and results. Anyone have any tips ?

shinobi's kick is OP as hell and almost uncounterable, i think that only nobushi(hidden stance) and berserker dash attacks can punish it consistently, not sure about other heroes. about conq i'm 100% sure they can block ur lights a tech ur gbs after u dodged, and 99% sure they can just flip away to avoid shield bash. ur basically done unless the shinobi makes some mistakes

i used to hate fighting conq too but that's not justice. conq is annoying, shinobi is OP. conq has nothing else, shinobi has a lot of tools plus his super OP unpunishable kick

I don't have a problem with the kick as a conq. I'm usually way to aggressive with a conq though. that may be why. I did get kicked into a wall for chasing a dodging shinobi with the endless chain. not the best strategy I guess. so over use charging shield crush, spam the crap out of heavy into shield bash, never gb, only throw 1 or 2 lights when they are too close (this vs shinobies only other wise swing away). dodge when they dodge. rely on the conqs good defense to cover your multiple mistakes. use the charging heavy to intimidate. oh and double up on the heavies every so often. se if this keeps the stupid ninjas from kicking you.
