Look Ubisoft, I may sound like a broken record, BUT YOU NEED TO LISTEN! PERSONALLY I LOVE YOUR GAMES! But you need to stop being counter productive! Lets start out with this. CENTURION IS F###ING BROKEN! COUNTLESS TIMES TODAY I HAVE ENCOUNTERED SO MANY CENTURIONS, PEOPLE WHO JUST GOT THE GAME IN FACT! Rep 0. These people are what we call "Tryhards". They are a toxic stain on the community. I preordered your game. I SPENT 100 DOLLARS ON THE GOLD EDITION WITH HIGH HOPES! WHEN MY FRIENDS AT SCHOOL OR ANY PEOPLE I MET ONLINE, I DEFENDED YOU AND FOR HONOR! With that being said, let me tell you why he needs to be debuffed. For starters, he can initiate one combo and you cant land a hit on him before you finish blinking, the amount of stress it puts on me, the countless times i almost broke a window throwing my controller from spammed messages of,"SORRY BRO" and "GIT GUD SCRUB" FROM THESE CHEEKY LITTLE S### STAINS ARE NUMEROUS. THIS GAMES COMMUNITY IS DYING BECAUSE OF THE ONE THING YOU WONT FIX IS THE CHARACTER BALANCE. NEWS FLASH, CENTURION IS RUINING IT! His heavies are faster than his lights, he can execute a heavy combo and automatically jab. If you evade his kick he will just knock you down and say "INFIRMUS!" with a follow up of "ETIAM" EVERY. DAMN. TIME. WE NEED LESS ROCK EM SOCK EM ROBOTS AND MORE DECENT GAMEPLAY!
On the topic of toys, THE BEYBLADE. Highlander is less of an issue, but his spinning attack is annoying and spammed as much as THAT DAMNED CENTURIONS COMBO. I think it would be better for all of us who enjoy your game to reduce the amount of hate by mainly just nerfing the centurion until he is harder to initiate combos and easier to parry/Evade/deflect. Highlander, i wouldnt touch until later. Ubisoft, consider your people. Consider those who want to turn on their Sony box or their X Station and not just your money you stack up.
Dont take it personally (or do) but your complains are..... lets say poor based.
First thou must understand thatball characters are DIFFERENT (key word)
•he can initiate one combo and you cant land a hit on him*
Wouldnt it be STUPID tonhit (and intrerupt) a character mid combo with hits?
•His heavys are faster than his lights.
Thats the way the character works. You rarely use light attacks... this is a simply deal with it situation. His lights are slashes (slower) his heavies are stabs (faster)
•he cam execute a heavy combo and automaticaly jab.
No. He does a chain and after that a jab or a kick. And either one comes after certain moves. Its not a pick situation. (*)
•If you evade his kick he will just knock you down and say "INFIRMUS!" with a follow up of "ETIAM"
I dont know what infirmus and etiam translate as in a move but as a main cent i can tell you that the only thing connecting after a kick is a heavy which can be canceled in a GB (dont remember if a light two). But anyway, evade the kick, and be ready for a blok(light or heavy) or a CCB (in case of GB).
•highlanders spin attack is literally his only opener. THE ONLY ONE. Untill he gets the needed buff thats the only thing youll see wich is an easy parry anyway (i main him two)
•. I think it would be better for all of us who enjoy your game to reduce the amount of hate by mainly just nerfing the centurion until he is harder to initiate combos and easier to parry/Evade/deflect
This is literally the dumbest thing ive heard on this forum. Without a doubght. This game needs exactly less parry and less defensive meta and more openers...
•Highlander, i wouldnt touch until later
You clearly dont know him. Hes the slowest character in the game / has a half useless hiper armor / his damage is lower than some assassins / his ofensive lights costs ober 1/4 of stamina / hes only opener is not cancelable and easy readable / his stance change is to slow / his stamina consumption is big / and a few other problems. Hes not weak, he doesnt need a big buff, but he does need one. A bit faster and the ability to cancel the celtic curse (spin attack) into offensive or intonneutral.
As for centurion, the only two things that should heve been fixed (wall splat and kick spam) were fixed in the last patch. As a bonus his rance was reduced. So you got extra. Teust me whenni say youre just bad against cent because you dont know the character but that can be remedy by spending 1 h in the training room playing AS the centurion
If younknoe hos chains youll see that other than the confirmed situations in wich the H jab jump attack is 100% cent cant land more than 2 hits (light heavy) if you know what could come next and how to THE NEXT move.
Most important
Heavy ->(cancel) gb
Heavy -> jab
Light -> gb
Kick -> heaby/gb (heavy cancel)
As soon as I got over how intimidating he was thanks to his cutscene and actually played against him for a few weeks he became more of a nuisance than anything. Can kill him most of the time. I find that a lot of the cents freak out if you consistently stop their combo-chain and have no idea what else to do.
Thanks much fellas. And it is agreeable now that i have taken some time that highlanders beyblade is a opener, but that is if you can get past it. After playing some dark souls 3 with the homies its safe to say that highlander operates a lot like a boss in that game, he is bulky, fast, predictable whilst being not, and can mess ya shet up if you aren't careful. Every hardcore highlander fella is just like that. Centurion is the... how do i put this... Abyss Watchers of For Honor, he will mess you up within a inch of your life if you arent smarter and very foresightful than the 65 iq Spammers. I prefer warden as a good counter for a spammy cent and ooooooooh boy do they get mad when i do my top light parry on one of them save parrying the entire group and holding the line with Zone attack and bashes until your boys respawn. Oh lawd its soo satisfying.
Sadly my friends (deus vult), we have worse issues. We must forgive the centurions. WE HAVE PAGAN HEMOMANIAC IN OUR MIDST! BEHOLD THE UNHOLY UNION OF BETA NOBUSHI, PK, CENTURION, OROCHI SKEDADDLERS, AND VIKING LEDGELORDS! I GIVE YOU, THE MOTHERF***ING SHAMAN HERSELF!
I dont know how to explain how broken she is because OF HOW UNGODLY FAST I DIE BY ONE LET ALONE A ENTIRE PACK OF THOSE THOTS! I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED 3 KILLS ON SHAMANS, AND THAT REQUIRED TEAM PARENTAL SUPERVISION SO THAT SHE DIDNT TACKLE ME AND RAPE ME WITH HER UNGODLY CHAINS AND ABILITIES! MY LORD IS SHE TOXIC!
WE MUST RANT! WE MUST SAVE THE GAME BOYS! We couldn't save net neutrality, so lets try and ressurect this poor game, too young to die. Yet it fought against AIDS, Terminal Cancer, and Ebola in metaphorical and finally succumbed to its fatigue.

Cent is fine. Practice hard against level 3 bots in Custom Match or Practice Mode. You'll see how easy he is to counter. It's a learning process. If newbie Centurions can steamroll you, you're doing something wrong. I'm sorry but, my message will just come across as another 'git gud' post because I really have nothing else to say. All it takes is some practice. Oh and don't let those in-game messages frustrate you; their intent is to tilt you emotionally, so that you lose focus and hence have an even harder time during combat. Never taking anything in this game too seriously or personally. It's not worth it.
Cent is a ***** to deal with parry, charged heavy, knock down, zone and 3/4 of your health is gone. As an out of stamina punish sure, but as a normal parry punish it's ridiculous. *****ing about Highlander though, he's one of the worst characters. I hope for the spin attack so I know I can get a guaranteed safe parry. Now if he could feint that into a kick or grab it would be more useful and worthy of salt.
