I had this feeling that when the new characters launched that it would be another Centurion & Shinobi Gank fest. But to my surprise its not. Sure everyone is using them but i find them more balanced.
I immediately hopped into customs and fought Level 3 bots and friends. We tried different moves and combos and even our mains. I could be speaking prematurely as most players suck on them. But i feel by the time people get good with them others will get better at countering them. Some of the moves are OP if you bait them out. But so are Raider's moves.
Most of my friends play Highlander and i was against Gladiator. But after playing tge Gladiator i have never had so much fun and even flow during combat. I am able to break the tanks and dish out a flurry of attacks. I find that my KD is only slightly higher than my mains and other characters i use. But then again this could also be because of some very noticeable improvements to the overall battle mechanic. I can once again block and parry on assasins without it screwing me in another direction. It does feel like attacks are either slower or the guard system is more responsive. I did notice however that the Gladiator's guard is a bit difficult. But i have gotten use to it.
I do however Kensie's The feel like immediate counters to me. But nonetheless a great job. The only improvements i can see now is the parry changes coming into play later on.
The highlander seens like he has the Highest Skill Ceiling and will be an utter terror in the hands of a great player. Possible even taking the spot on the top tier.
I play on Xbox and i approve these changes. Less flicker and more responsiveness to attacks. Whatever changes that were done did seen to have an effect on deflects as i find it hardet to do so. But it seem pretty solid.
I know some of you may feel differently but this is a step in the right direction.
Thank Goodness!
