Why do you all use centurion?? I really want to know | Forums

No judgement, man, but what is it, specifically, that you dislike about Centurion? I'm genuinely asking.

He has fast lights and his heavies are nearly as fast, with softfeints into guardbreak, has a real fast normal guardbreak. He can combo all day long because he has almost no stamina consumption.
His kick is easily dodgeable only 1v1, the punch a lot less so, with the charging ability he gets to set the pace for parries or dodges, which he can counter with the cancel into guardbreak.
You're allowed two mistakes with him, the first gets you down to 1 bar of health or so and no stamina, then he kills you with enough stamina left to do it all over again.

Add this all up and you get the most OP character of the game, which gets to take control of your toon while dealing massive amounts of damage.

It's that last bit that gets to me most, that he so easily and for such a long time gets my character in a position where I can't do anything but take the abuse and wait for him to do it again.

But what really bothers me is that the devs stated "He's just fine, well, maybe we need to change his entire kit, but we need more data", along with some of the other fanbois, completely disregarding the sincere hatred this character has been getting from almost everyone not playing the character. Not even the PK got this much hatred, and that's saying something.

And now that he too got the quardswitch buff, one of his few disadvantages has been 'tweaked away' as well, and he gets to do his (parry-)punish that much easier.

It's just overall bad design, and the fact the devs don't dare touch him with any kind of nerf until 'more data' has come in, seems to me proof that they have no idea what to do with him because of it.

Except you aren't dead with one kick, the only damage that is confirmed from it is a light. If he does a heavy that can be blocked but even if you miss the block that's still only 25 damage. Everything after that can be defended against or even punished.

not true

Many players just charge the heavy right after the kick start up and then theres no time left to avoid.
U r just doing it slow

The heavy is 1200ms, that's more than plenty of time to parry it.
U just aren't parrying it

Maybe its possible to perform a parry, ok, but do you think its fair? If I miss the parry I die, very fair.
Give more examples of heros that can do the same... theres no one.

Even if theres a way to escape the kick, even if theres a way to parry the heavy, nothing justifies such a deadly combo.
Put this on your mind.

Except you don't die it's 65 damage, that's 5 more than shugokis full charged heavy but I don't hear you saying anything about his, it's about the same speed too. I can't remember off the top of my head but they are both slow enough that they are incredibly easy to parry, you just need to practice.

Also it's not really a combo since combo implies that the subsequent hits after the first cant be defended against and that's just not true.

[Antonioj26]

You act like 5 more damage then the previously most damaging move in the game was not alot. Logic?

Actually I'm not doing that at all. What I am doing is pointing out that missing one parry will not kill you like the post I quoted stated.

I never saw a combo with Demon's Embrace

I've never seen a combo with a fully charged unblockable heavy. I'll say it again, combo implys that every subsequent hit can't be defended against once the first hit connects. That's not the case with the kick into fully charged unblockable, you CAN defend yourself

[Antonioj26]

This is true. . . light parry by a wall and it is a 100-0 combo for half the cast.

Well for one that's not what we are talking about. We aren't talking about wall stuns nor are we talking about parrys. We are talking about from neutral and two I'm pretty sure the 100-0 combo doesn't work anymore with the nerf in 1.08. His light parry damage is more than it should be but that's still 60, still not enough to one shot like this guy is implying

Have u played in the last entire month??
I can't argue against such childish and unreal affirmation.

Keep saying Centurion is ok while community are complaing and more players are uninstalling the game forever.
