    Stamina? I'm an Assassin, i dont' need no stamina

    So, been seeing this a lot, and its beginning to annoy. A friend of mine and i were taling about how these guys in full armor can just, go for days. I get its a game, and that the stamina bar is to limit attacks and such, thats fine. But...why is it tha ti can dodge, infinitly. If you get good at that system, you never even need to block or parry, and it makes no sense. your wearing heavy combat armor, carrying large hunks of steel and move around with no issue? but yet, when you attack, you drain stamina? Kinda silly. I'm not saying make dodging take stamina, but you shouldn't be able to just 'dodge dodge doge dodge dodge dodge dodge dodge." and no, thats not me making up a bunch, i've had orochi, peacekeeper, WARLORD, and many others dodge that many times, exhausting my stamina, and yet SOMEHOW, they are fresh as daisy's. The dodge system need's some sort of 'limit' of how many dodges you can do in a row before needing to 'recover' like your attacks. its a key element of attacking and avoiding attacks, but thats what parry's and blocks are for. You shouldn't be able to dodge infinity.

    Dodge is highly punishable - learn to catch them during dodging. If u face a guy who is dodging right after u initiate an attack, just use feints into gb.
    It's the easiest thing to do in the game... well, a backdashing pk is a bit tricky tho.

    Well no one in here seems to understand this, you can dodge INFINITLY which means, guard break wont' work you can dodge them, shinobi? only uses stamina if you do double dodge so doesn't apply, punishable? sure if they dont' dodge again. Yall must be fighting some rather normal/below average players, because some of the best? like in my tournament, i never could land a blow because he dodged CONSTANTLY to avoid all damage, all guard breaks. Tahts the purpose yes, but highly unfair since i run out of stamina trying to counter you, and couldn't' touch you.

    What are we not understanding? You can't dodge a GB. I can't relate to your issue.

    no, because you can dodge FROM a guard break. I do it all the time. ninja's jump kick, a flat out grab, unblock-able gaurd break. sure some of them track, but for the most part it just takes timing to dodge out of teh way. So, not applicable. You can dodge EVERYTHING in this game. I have yet to see an attack, grab,or push.

    Guardbreaks are the easiest way to punish players who repeatedly use dodge. Additionally, our proposed defense meta changes include changes to dodge where stamina regen will pause when dodging.

    Hmm, well not sure that will really solve matters, but at least it will keep them from gaining stamina after stamina exhaustion. But i dunno how yall expect guard break to do anything to dodges, they always just, poof, dodge out of the way. i mean even i've done it, am i missing how thats suppose to be a counter to dodges?
