    Fix Nobushi's Kick

    I know Nobushi has been nerfed to the ground from every aspect but at least fix her kick. Seriously how can it give free GB? HL spams kick gets 40 damage. She can't even initiate it from neutral. Kick itself doesn't do any damage. People can even dodge it throw heavy it has so much recovery time. Easiest CC to dodge in the game and it gives free GB really? And it only does 4 damage bleed. Minimum reward maximum risk.

    HL can gb be gbed out of it no matter what if you dodge in time and it's not from neutral. Requires offensive stance.
    Nobushi can follow up kick with light to prevent gb. She can also delay kick. It's perfectly fine as it is. She just needs another tools to put some pressure in.

    You can simply dodge nobushi's kick on reaction and be safe. She doesn't force you to do anything.

    yes nobushi's kick is useless following up with a light is a free parry if the kick is dodged

    before when the kick was confirmed after a blocked heavy it had pressure but since they removed it , they should of compensate her recovery after a whiffed kick

    er... if you think that her kick is useless, you need to watch guides on youtube about her. Maybe her kick is not as effective as Jorm's or BP's bash, but it still quite useful.

    Obviously kick has a place in her kit. But compared to other CC attacks and damage it does it is extremely subpar. You cant even compare.

    It is one of the most damaging bashes, especially with a wall. I don't say it's a good one since it is easily reactable, but it deals brutal damage. I don't know the numbers, but you get either two lights (one is the bleed light), or a heavy with a wall.

    I dont even know what to say..how is it most damaging? It's very slow cant be initiated from neutral. Kick itself doesnt have any damage. As you said it is extremely easy to dodge. It only gives bleed damage which is around 3-4 damage and very slow bleed over time. Mind you Cents kick does 6 damage and gives a light as well. Yes it gives wall splat against a wall but you have to land it first. Also lets not forget Aramusha full block stance into kick or JJ kick also gives wall splat.

    Your kick doesn't play the same role as, for example, BP's bash. Your kick plays role of a punish. You don't do it from neutral (only occasionally to surprise an opponent), but the main role of the kick is to play with your recovery timing to trick an opponent.

    Every time you do a light or sidewinder (I forgot what else), you can cancel recoveries into kick. You can also delay that kick so you can catch opponent mid GB or heavy. Attacking an enemy from neutral with simply light or kick ==> easy parry for you opponent. You should aim to attack when enemy is trying to do something and try to actively force enemy to react to you so you can catch with kick, sidewinder or HS=>Heavy/light.

    This is why she's hard to master. Unlike BP who can bash from neutral and be aggressive, nobushi's offence relies on your recovery timing, so you can dodge-counter-attack or you attack mid enemy's attack.

    P.S. with extra 100ms hidden, it will be harder to dodge her kick.

    You underestimate bleed damage. They also stack.

    Her kick only has 100ms of vulnerability. You're more likely to be GBed out of the start up of her next attack than someone GBing to interrupt the kick.
