    Nobushi improvement

    She needs a some type of rework. She is the slowest female character and has 0 combos. She is probably the most neglected character in the game. Maybe even changing her weapon to a double sided blade.
    Jiang Jun's weapon is pretty much the nobushi's on steroids. She needs a fighting style and speed rework bad.

    She's arguably quite strong in Dominion/Brawl. She does lack offense, but there are some who consider her defense (i.e. Hidden Stance) the strongest in the game. Just some points that I think are worth keeping in mind when buffs are proposed.

    Seriously? Hidden Stance as defense? How many times u use it in Dominion/Brawl? Ubi add so many side step chars, with superarmour, fast light spam ... show me how u counter it! How many ppls say "her defense Hidden Stance" is strong? How many Nobu is in master tier??
    Why u have Hidden Stance when enemy turtling, and play with 60+ latency! Everyone in duel vs Nobu just wait ... so pls. Shut up about stroooong Nobu. Y maybe Skeptik is strong with her, couse his enemys play like man, but show me ur game with Nobu like normal player ...
    Ah sry .. u play chinese broken sh*t couse is easy to play and have all tools like all others champs in others factions ...

    Her dodge attacks should get dodge properties. It's not fair that Kensei can literally dodge everything for what feels like an infinite amount of frames on his dodge heavies when Nobu literally can't dodge anything at all. Also, if they reduced the time it took for her stamina to start regening after using hidden stance that would be very nice.

    Honestly, just those two changes alone would make her feel much better to play. I main Nobu and love her to death, but playing as her nowadays is such a pain.

    Hidden stance is very strong. It even works against bashes.

    I have her at almost rep 4 now so im n9 expert, but yeahbmaking her dodge attacks actually dodge, making it so hidden stance didnt stop stam recovery, and the also changing her vipers retreat so it had a dodge property or something would be excellent and needed changes.

    Additionally some of her heavies are just too slow. I hate how in a match up vs jj (i do know i shouldnt be free flying opener heavies but hear me out) i can start a heavy, jj can on reaction start a heavy. And his will hit at almost the same time as mine, and his does more damage and gives him hyper armor so he can follow up with a light or heavy unblockable.

    Match ups against jj as nobushi are just cancer right now. Especially since he can even cancel startup into his sifu poise.

    keep in mind hidden stance only works for a couple frames and not like warlord's or conq's do
