Hitokiri/Sakura needs to reworked or removed! | Forums

[SupremeSkill-]

Hi!

Let's keep this simple. If you at Ubisoft start to present more clown and anime like characters like Hitokiri, I will delete For Honor and tell people that For Honor is ruined and Ubisoft games should be avoided. You already ruined Rainbow Six: Siege with all the clown characters; why do you intend to do this with successful title like For Honor as well is beyond me?

Hitokiri is poorly, lazily designed hero for following reasons:

- Inconsistent attack animations, leading to sudden hits and character model contacting your own before you should hit parry.
- Many trick moves that cannot be predicted just by observing. Tedious memorizing process is required against this hero.
- Hero not being interruptable by attacks, but guardbreak works (sometimes), which is confusing and illogical.
- Uninterruptable executions are ridiculous. Naturally people will try to interfere and that's how it should be.
- Seriously embarrasing anime inspired voice acting and look, that don't fit the game.

Rework within next three months that includes changes to appearance, voice acting, animation and traits is required. Removing the hero altogether is also an acceptable solution.

Thank you Ubi for a great game before the latest hero landed!
Do not ruin this game with uninspired content.
I recommend to not release more heros if you are not keen to create any.
You will thank me later if you take this feedback seriously!

@AmonDarkGod Revise your whiny responses better, since I didn't say I have any hard time against this hero; I merely stated that the design is super flawed. New and old players who face this hero for the first time will get frustrated for sure, but I am already past that part. Fair to fight against or not, the appearance and voice acting are the biggest downers for me of all I listed. I have pretty neutral opinion about Black Prior though, but I can state that he is much more fitting to the theme of the game.

No They need to remove Black Prior but they didnt. And they will not remove Sakura. So you need to get gud and learn to fight.

It's not about learning to fight, they nerfed BP a month after release, I don't know why Sakura is taking so long. There's no learning to fight against this character, you can learn how to fight one on one, but in a 4v4 mode, that's the least common scenario.
They really need to nerf Hitokiri.

-I have spotted no flawed animations with hitokiri, aside from the hand clipping through his weapon but that doesn't affect the gameplay. And I can parry it quite well, unless I get fooled/baited, which can happen.
-The point of the game/indicators is to react. You can't predict everything, 'specially against enemies with multiple softfeints. This point would be the same for shugoki, yet the answer is the same.
-It's called hyper armor. Everyone knows hitokiri has hyper armor on heavies. Man up and deal with it. GB works on the startup phase of the heavy, just like any other character (aside cent and conq which have a window almost impossible to get)
-Executions can't be interrupted by normal attacks. Yet they can indeed be interrupted. You simply do not know how, experiment.
-If hitokiri is "anime" orochi and aramusha are what? The voice perfectly suits the character and his backstory. Moreover your taste has nothing to deal with him being a viable or not character. Simply do not play it.

So, next time bring some more solid points.
PS: no, i don't use Hitokiri

All I read here are excuses for laziness. These posts themselves are lazy without any though put into them. Hitokiri is a monster type thing straight from an anime world, who is the equivalent of Dokkaebi in Rainbow: Six Siege, another tasteless anime filler hero. If most people want more anime then fine, let's have it, but I'm certainly not playing anymore. Lastly I can't believe you are defending something called "hyper armor" in For Honor. I have no more to say, I'm just waiting the next new hero to give the death blow to this game and be done with it (though I don't wish anymore new heros to this game, only two new maps for breach and maybe another game mode).

If you meant that your own points are without any reason to be, yeah I totally agree.
Once more, if you say that Hitokiri is "anime" my question about Orochi and Aramushi still stands.
And yeah, hyper armor is a thing, never seen a berserker?
You're doing well in going back straight into your hole, as it clearly seems you are unable to discuss when your own point got demolished and all you could do is call the other's "lazy" when you barely applied any logic to your own statements.
If you are not playing for honor anymore, well it doesn't seem much of a loss, Yet if you wish to man up and deal with it, feel free to.

Honestly if they are nerfing Hitokiri they need to nerf Zerk too. Which they wont lol

If they nerfed a Hero everytime some noob complained, the game would be an unbalanced mess.

Most people need to take their time in the arena and learn to play against certain heroes.

[hordeOfseagulls]

oh you guys mean the training mode that has no lag input basically making it useless for noobs to learn how to fight. also amondarkgod dont make fun of people for being bad at this game when you think still the warden needs to be nerfed thats just sad.

The guy that said "play in the arena" doesn't necessary mean training with bots.
You could easily play duel and still find quite the numbers of hitokiri ( but mostly raiders... cuz yeah.) or invite a friend and spar in a custom match, both are viable ways to make experience.

I dont make fun of people. Plus Warden is one of the strongest heroes in the game in case you didnt know

Nah, warden is falling quite easily behind. The only "op" thing, or rathen unbalanced is the shoulder bash spam chain. If the devs did anything to stop that from happening warden could be easily claimed as a mid-tier hero no problem.

As you can see from both duel matrixes, warden is near the bottom with 46% victory rate, which isn't too bad.

Im seriously considering ditching this game because of it ucant even hold up against her in a 2v1 ulike every other character at least give her a stamina drop and less range
