    First post! And a genuine out of curiosity question...

    Before i start the post, i'm garbage at the game

    ok! so, when you find that one shinobi guy that beats you in 1v1 or dominion, how does it beat you? What tricks does he uses or what tricks tend to catch you off-guard?

    I repeat, yes, i'm a noob, few character that i trully like and shinobi is one of them, i really don't know how to win with it.

    The two things that i see work most of the time are:

    1-zone attack->feint 2º part into gb->heavy-light chain, spinny thing (it takes around 70% of stamina i think...but is good dmg)

    2-Randomly throwing GB at distance in dominion messy fights.

    3-staying out of distance to annoy the oponnent that they use their "charge" move (which most characters is a hit from the top-guard)
    which in response i use the evasion combo.

    I thank you all for your patience reading this and maybe thinking "this is just another ****ty complain-post" but i really wanna know how to play this character, so please, share your rage-inducing moments playing agains shinobis so i can play like them and be somewhat of a challenge for those in a low ranks like me

    If a Shinobi player is playing the distance game you aren't likely to punish the ranged attacks since most heros do not have a chase move that can move that far that fast in time to punish him. And if their ganking partner has half a brain they'd stop you from doing it anyway. The best thing you can do in that situation is really just try to make sure you keep them on screen at all times that way they can't catch you off guard and are forced to try and hit you during animation locks.

    A cqc shinobi is rather easy to deal with since most of what they do is reactable. They can't really double dodge or back flip near you as most attacks will track the back flip or GB will catch them. The timing to dodge with both the double dodge and flip is extremely difficult and can't just be auto spammed like before.

    Really you just have to be patient. Going overly aggressive is how Shinobi wins.
