Why does Shinobi's super sprint suck so badly? | Forums

[PepsiBeastin]

Not only is his normal sprint speed mediocre, his special sprint ability only adds 10% speed at most. For it being literally the only reason the move exists, it seems pretty useless.

Yeah it’s so useless he can outrun the entire roster with it, and no one can catch him! Sucks right? What’s worse is that he has the best mobility in the game, another useless feature so they should just buff that too!

Yeah I'm not sure what you're complaining about bro. I can't imagine what you think would be an appropriate buff seeing how he can already outrun every hero and ****ing teleport around the map like mad scientist on crack.

[PepsiBeastin]

For all of you saying he can outrun anyone with it, do you forget that half the cast has have ******ed jump tracking that don't care how fast you are? Also, I'm pretty sure shaman's mad dash into a jump heavy/bite is faster too.

By best mobility in the game, you mean Shaman easily outruns him then sure. Hell, she can keep up with him just by spamming her dash attack......

Sure the speed boost isn't huge, but that's because they don't want the game to be just shinobis super sprinting out of every situation. In my opinion Cents and Shinobis are two of the most annoying and boring characters to play against. All shinobis do is teleport-kick-light-kick-heavy-and then run away and repeat. They have no other combo, so yeah, making it more difficult for shinobis to run away is fine by me.

For top-tier shinobis, I don't think there is a single move that gets unused.

Oh no, one hero who also happens to be an assassin can catch Shinobi while in super sprint, while using a feat to do so, or one very specific move that woul put them in a disadvantage and open to a guard break.... this must mean the super sprint is useless!

It is not bad, Shinobies can run away easily and with that, no one can catch them.

This reminds me, PK's lunge really needs a buff. Can it be twice as fast and go twice as far? Thanks.
