Still don't like Law's shove playstyle. | Forums

Its not fun to use. I wish long arm was a bit safer to use.

I just don't see how you can get any damage of of a decent person with him. He just gets parried and noone throws out attacks that can be easily parried.

It's all about maintaining tempo with Lawbie, in my experience. As long as you can manage your stamina, Lawbie has the ability to maintain constant pressure on an opponent with his reasonably fast neutral shove, and shove on block. I manage to land Long Arm reasonably often, it's just a matter of using it when they don't expect; a good trick is to get offensive with your neutral shove so they come to expect it, then mix it up with either a dash > gb, or a long arm mixup (enemy will often dodge too early after dodging a few shoves).

Thanks for the advice, but thats what im saying. Shoving over and over again is really boring to me :/

Feint your first heavy then follow through with a second heavy works well for me. I don't abuse the shove gameplay but I still manage to dismantle players. As Moon said, stamina management makes all the difference in the world. Stamina cost reduction is a key stat you should go for, and having high stamina regen is a bonus. He's got great combos that can easily flow into each other, albeit by shove but it's still strong,
Just keep the opponent guessing, parry well yourself and use the great parry punishes he has.
