Geez, would ya look at the size of him | Forums

Anyone else think the Highlander's feints into attacks is a little fast foe his size? I mean, I fought one and his feints were normal, but as soon as he did, his next attack was sooooooo fast, I could swear there was no animation. It just went right into the hit.

his feint into light is pretty standard, you probably mean his unblockable into offensivestance light.
to cancel the unblockable and go directly into the light is a specific move in his list, it does very little damage and costs a lot of stamina. it doesn't seem to be used very often.

I'm only Rep 1 with the Highlander, so I'm not very familiar with his moves, but I'm pretty sure it's just a regular Overhead, feint into a side attack. And there was a side attack feint into overhead attack.
It seemed waaaay too fast to be a feint into his offensive stance, then an attack, plus there was no yellow glow.

rep1 is plenty of time. get on him in trainingmode vs lvl0 bot and test it, find the move you're talking about. if it's something from his movelist or just a regular feint.
perhaps you caught moments of lag? that can make characters skip animations.

I messed around a bit and it's definitely not a heavy feint into offensive attack. There's no glow and besides, it's too long of a sequence. It really looked like a standard defensive heavy feint, into side heavy. But... I tried that as well and it works, bit way too slow compared to what I was seeing. Could be lag, or it could've be a heavy feint into side light. That's the quickest combo I could do, and possibly just looks different from the perspective of getting hit with it.

Yup. That looks an awful lot like the move. Scottish Basterd.

yeah like the guy said, it's the move Celtic Curce. it's in his movelist and it's a dash attack people love to spam in 4v4. it always comes out as a top heavy that can be fastfeinted into a sideatk.
if it's spammed in 1v1 you can easily parry it but - if used sparingly - it will look like a regular heavy and will catch those who tries to parry or dodge in the wrong direction.

imo highlander is a lot slower than he needs to be. his stepin when GB is bad, his dodges are bad, and his slow runspeed makes it impossible to ever run away.
meanwhile lawbringer runs past you like a freight train, guess he didn't skip legday.
