Shaolin has 1ms light attacks on console.

Fighting a shaolin with my warlord feels like stepping into a tornado trying to defend myself from flying debris moving at 80mph in all directions.

All I do is step into range, an try to survive the flurry of strikes, feints and unblockables while desperately seeking a parry as its the only way I can mount an offense with my slow and predictable LH HL

I'm simply too slow and limited in kit depth to compete with characters who's kits feel like they are 3-4 times as varied as mine, it just doesn't feel fun anymore. Light heavy, heavy light... sigh

This isn't a new problem, its been obviousl since shinobi and cent hit the scene that the OGs were being phased out, but it seems like the wu lin and here to strike the final nail an bury the original cast. Why pick a warlord over the new heavy??

aah WL?, my first main, ill always have a soft spot for him for sure and have the upmost respect for the guys that can still play him well after all the beatings he's taken from the Nerf hammer, but i do agree and think your bowing to the inevitable, these new guys are just so in depth, have so many more options its just daunting for S1 guys who haven't had a major re-work, how can WL a Nobushi a Raider compete with these guys? Qi stance? traps? Sufi Stance? deflects? dancing tiger dodge? a kung-fu kick that launches you half way across the map? stamina chokes? shin kicks? hyper armor on top of hyper Armour?

there there Raiders, don't worry you may not have a bleed, a deflect. not a hyper Armour in sight but you've always got the good ole stun tap variation and the most telegraphed and parried "unblockable " in FH history? dont you just feel good?

So wait... Niandu... with those unblockable lights, you just turn your guard away and she doesn't hit you with it?

no not quite, if she presses square as she's throwing it negates any block or parry you may be trying to use, if your not blocking and she presses square nothing happens to you, if she doesn't press square and your not guarding you get hit like a normal light, it depends on what you both do, its bad news for turtles though.

I hate the fact that they've decided to give one hero an ability that completely nullifies defence entirely. To me it just shows that they really do have no idea how to balance the game without relying on gimmicks and cheese. Sad.

All I knwo is. Niandi knocks you DOWN with massive damage. Its Gladiator knock down on crack.
