Can we for the love of ****ing god get a Feint on the Centurions Unblockable, its unreal that he can't feint it.
This alone would make him more viable. At this point the guy is so 1 dimensional i can't even play him anymore every ****ing person knows exactly what i'm going to do its so easy to see it comming and with no feint on unblockable its obvious im going to GB and if i let the slowest straight unblockable attack in the game go it gets parried 99% of the time.
his kick and punch are worthless they are just free light attacks or gb for opponent .....DODGE
his unblockable is so easy to parry its more punishing to the player then the opponent..PARRY
so that leaves him fake to gb hmmmmmm i wonder what hes gonna do.
It can;t be that hard to change this 1 mechanic making him atleast playable until they change him around.

Thats the problem none of his fighting is any good except up against a wall but allot of other characters in the game can do well up against walls and still fight in the open
his light attacks are slow so slow that they can be parried easily
his heavy are pretty fast and do good damage but they are also easy to parry or block ( they are heavies )
his front kick opener is so easy to see it gets dodge 80% of the time
his punch gets dodged 99% of the time
his unblockable is super easy to see coming and always gets parried
that leaves the fake to GB but since its all hes got people just break it easily
if he could feint atleast this would allow him a reset or a parry or a light attack
give him something other then wall fighting no one sticks to a wall you have to try and push them towards it by being ballerina or getting a gb and shoving them towards a wall ( good luck with that )

That is the main problem, the cent was designed to be that way, using the wall to gain advantage. Ppl complained and they nerfed him, now he is not viable. I forgot to mention, I also don't use his punches unless I sucessfull land the unblockeable (Against lvl 1 bots mostly), then I use the charged punch. The unblockeable feint is very necessary right now.Originally Posted by Legion25846 Go to original post

How do you see him in a good place sins rape him cause they can dodge attack all his linear movements and his recovery is to slow to get back to block it and heavies have more health and do more damage and have feints on there unblockables.Originally Posted by CRIMS0NM0NKEY Go to original post
he can't feint his unblockable giving you 2 choices get parried or try and GB ( which rarely works )
His lights are slow enough to parry
the only thing he has going for him is his heavies are pretty fast and do good damage problem is they are still heavies and get parried easily
his front kick easy to dodge its to slow
his punch is worthless i don't think ive landed a regular stun punch in forever
the feint on his unblockable would give him a nice mix up until a rework. it can't be that hard to do.

Centurion's charged heavies are contextual, at least if you want success. You can very briefly cancel to a guardbreak after the unblockable icon displays which increases your chances of catching a parry attempt (unblockables motivate responses), and that is your unblockable feint. Other heroes can't feint against Centurion like others because his heavies aren't vulnerable to guardbreaks, likewise Cent can (should) only feint into guardbreaks because his hard feints are garbage. There's a balance here.
"Centurion is weak" has become a very popular opinion. He's definitely not the strongest hero, but his mix-up potential and punishes are crazy good.

I don't see how you see his mix up potential are crazy good ??? What mix up potential ?His punish i can agree with its great IF you can land anything.Originally Posted by Jazz117Volkov Go to original post
He has no mix ups Period unless u get them up against a wall.....
He has 1 opener his front kick that gets dodged all the time
Let's not pretend that not every one and there mother Can BGB in this game.
So you light attack get parried ( cause its so slow )
you front kick get dodged and then get GB
you heavy get blocked throw a punch they dodge into GB
you heavy get parried
you throw an unblockable get parried cause its stupid easy to parry it or dodge it
So really you have 1 mix up and its unblockable feint to GB problem is every one knows your going to do that and if you do manage to get it to work I promise you wont land it again cause peoepl adapt to it so easily cause its all hes got.
so now your dancing around like a ballerina trying to get them to a wall......
his punish is good but everything else is sucks.
