Claiming it's my skill level or that nobody thinks he's op. Doesn't change a thing. Don't attack the person. Attack the argument. Unless of course you don't have one. Which I suspect is the case.
He simply has too much range and stupid tracking. It's simply why you see so many out there. In fact I'm guessing it's why you two play him as well. Just cause a snowflake gets upset cause ALL his attacks don't lock on from a mile away and track around freaking corners than changes must be made!? No....

if he didn't have range and tracking what would he have? lolOriginally Posted by Mikesf46 Go to original post

All I ever hear is nerfs to what makes a character at least decent... The only things that need a nerf are moves with absolutely no risk, and all kinds of reward. As long as it has risk, it's not OP.
Gladiator Zone I'm looking at you... lol
EDIT::::::
before somebody wants to mention if it has risk and not op etc... I'm talking about moves like glad zone, conq shield bash and zone...
This game is all about the least amount of risk and the most amount of reward you can possibly get.
Anything Highlander does exposes him to a murder charge. He has to go all in or he's getting scrapped. and if he didn't have range he would get beat out by moves that are faster then him with equal range. He's slow... Slow characters need at least something or it will be the "fast meta" like every other fighter ever...

For me Highlander needs something in his def stance... like give him move like push enemy with 1 hand away? In def stance he have his sword on or near his shoulder and hold it with 2 hands. He in real definitly could perform something like off stance emote and free hand push enemy away little bit. Unblocable move with no hyperarmour, no damage on it, no guaranted damage after, maybe little stamina damage, but can be fast flow to off stance.

His defensive stance is garbage in comparison to offense stance... Defensive stance as a whole is a big gimmick nobody wants to be in. The longer you are in defense stance, the quicker you are to losing all matches lolOriginally Posted by Kahuf1 Go to original post

We've explained this before.Originally Posted by RenegadeTX2000 Go to original post
Conq Shield bash ISN'T safe. ((Dodge attacks and people with a decent recovery on dodge.[Honestly dont know the recovery, just know Centurion can't do it, but others can.] His shield UPPERCUT is.

that's character opinion.Originally Posted by Sauronbaine Go to original post
Highlander, Shugoki, Warlord, are the 3 that get absolutely nothing if they dodge it. It's free everytime in terms of avoiding it and getting a free punish... Any move that invalidates a character should be looked at, it ruins balance...
Conq zone also invalidates certain characters.
PK invalidates just by looking at you...
Glad zone invalidates lol.
Any single move that can just pin you down is just too much...
Also Option Selects is pretty insane with zones.
Kensei, Berserker, PK, Warden, Conqeuror, Shaman.... Orochi lol.
Having an option select is game breaking in competitive play and can change the course of a match up to it's core.
Conqeuror shield bash should be universally punished the same way Warlords headbutt is punished.
EDIT:
I forgot Centurion... lol that man is garbage now.

I've given this post some thought... I actually think it would fit in his kit really well and the identity of the "defensive form." Make it operate the same as Lawbringers shove on block, but instead of getting a free attack in he would push you into a neutral state to where he can fast flow into offense stance so the characters that try and overwhelm him by preventing him from entering offense stance he could block his way into the move.Originally Posted by Kahuf1 Go to original post
Highlander shove on block in defense form that fast flows into offense form that creates neutral distance like going for a counter guard break. It would look something like this.

then every character is gonna be pretty much exactly the same. Everyone dodges the same, etc etc. Thats not what the designers wanted.Originally Posted by RenegadeTX2000 Go to original post

No, i'm not trying to jeopardize a characters uniqueness.. it's just this game needs better universal changes. I think better chip damage on block would be the next best thing... Before you quote me on it and say it would make 4v4's more cancerous. No it would give characters that don't have unblockables something to work with. Right now it's all about if your character has speed and unblockables and the quality of the unblockables your character possesses. If you don't have unblockables you need some type of synergy plan or great flanking potential like PK that can glide undetected for years perfectly for Shaman combos...Originally Posted by Sauronbaine Go to original post
But for shield bash, it just invalidates certain characters and it just hurts the flow of the game... Invalidating moves should not exist in this game, I personally feel it's bad design. Conq Shield bash, Gladiator Zone, conq zone option select, PK zone option select, etc. just invalidates man lol.
Kensei your main if I remember... I feel like he's okay but his 3 mile zone and his dodge attack that grants him ultra instinct is kinda crazy lol. Kensei easily has one of the best dodge attacks in the game where he can delay the dodge attack to see if the opponent has truly committed to attacking kensei, and the moment Kensei realizes this he lets the dodge attack fly last moment or he can just avoid the bait by not going for dodge attack.
I feel his Dodge attack should be committed to the moment he dodges. Not just dodge and then decide to attack 3 hours later granting him another dodge that flows into everything he does. That kinda invalidates but it's not on gladiator zone or conq shield bash scale.
