When doing a heavys after her defence attack (not sure what its called but on ps4 its down on L stick and r1), the attack speed is so slow. granted that its a heavy, but im talking about the delay from when i press the button and then when she does it.
Also can we just increase her light attack speed to that of a real assassin? not as fast as the wu lin (and since we're talking about that, can you nerf their speed?) i play on ps4. so maybe there's some difference in reaction and frames or whatever but even still, its hardly reactable. and this is coming from somebody who mains assassins (and i often deflect light attacks) but its a real challenge against the wu lins.
anway, tl;dr: can you increase Nobushi's lights and heavys? it would greatly be appreciated and its a buff she deserves since she's kinda (?) in a bad spot overall.

Tbh thats a good question.Originally Posted by UbiInsulin Go to original post
But keep in mind that HS is only very strong once mastered and very well used only because it has many weaknesses :
- As OP said, the follow up Kick or light are so slow that a lot of chain attack interrupt it
- If her kick is Dodge it give a free GB
- It takes a huge amount of stam
I get that in top level players hands and with good turtling skills Nobu is good.
But Imo, Nobushi 600ms lights are useless and make them 500ms would only be a fair adjustment, not a buff. Which didnt justify to talk about a nerf in other area for her atm.
Thats my 2 cents but i would let it in the hands of some Nobu main (i have only 2 reps on her).

No because changing 600ms light attacks (which are dead pieces of kit) to 500ms lights is a quality of life update rather than a buff. It's basically allowing a character to actually be able to use their light attacks for a change instead of having free parries for their opponent being a "unique feature" of their kit. Updating 600ms lights to 500ms is not a character power balance adjustment it is a quality of life update/gameplay mechanic equalisation adjustment.Originally Posted by UbiInsulin Go to original post
Only genuine improvements to her offense and/or moveset should warrant a subsequent rebalancing elsewhere in her kit. For example if you gave her a strong opener and better dodge attacks that recieve i-frames so they can actually dodge stuff, then it would be fair to lower the power of her hidden stance within reason as a balancing adjustment.

Nobushi needs an overall speed up buff. Her recovery timing are exrtermly slow, the blocked stamina regen after HS is way too big. As it was said above, her kick is easly dodgeable and give a free gb. So the only option for nobushi is to turtle and wait for garanteed attacks or kicks... not the meta we want to have.
It leads us to really feel that nobuhsi is an old character that needs an update to fit in the new meta with all reworked and new characters.
There are a lot of post on nobushi rework suggestions. she doesn't need much I guess.
A little speed up, some undogeable or unblocable heavy finisher maybe, a little bit faster stamina regen after HS, a more interesting and usefull zone attack maybe (for now only its range can take some players out of guard)
This char has a very cool design and style, It just needs some help to rocket

Agreed about Nobushi lights. She is a good hero, but I can't remember any time I land her lights without parry.
It's just a metter of logic. When Juang Jun and Monk came into the game, they show how hast should be hero with light spear/stuff weapon. If even JJ have faster lights then Nobushi it's just unfair.
