I can't be *&^$'d right now to go dig up the 'give nobushi 500ms attacks' thread that had something like 60 posts to say 'I was right'.
500ms are here, it came at a cost.
Fun fact... I like new nobu. Dodge attack into kick into feinted light/parry stab. Yes please.
EDIT: by feinted light I mean throw a heavy instantly instead and can it![]()
Thats the issue. If you slip once, they will get you into the kick-wallsplat-heavy vortex and you literally cannot get out of it. Its not like you have to time the dodge right, you LITERALLY CANNOT AVOID IT other than trying to not let that happen. But that rarely happens cause you move one foot closer and the light attack spams start raining down on you. Its really annoying.
Eh, now I'm trying to land as many Viper's Retreat as possible and doing a lot of sidewinder feints into GB or sidewinder feints into Viper's Retreat. And maybe squeeze in one hidden stance, because the next time I use it the guy will try to GB me. This is just from a rep70 Nobushi main on Xbox.I like that i have somehwhat of an offense even though it's just spam, but now I'm just a long-range PK bleeding people out instead of executing them. Really wanted a deflect since Nobushi already had dash forward and side dash heavies a lights, giving Nobushi players something else to do to show skill expression, since Hidden stance is no longer safe so you have to use it sparingly.
Feels like they took the Roach approach to her. Instead of actually sitting down and hammering out her issues, they went the lazy way and just increased light spam while removing her defensive options, then trying to justify it by saying 'shes good at minion clearing and team fights.' They don't care anymore.
