Revert Conqueror to post rework Conqueror.
I don't mean this literally. but in some sense i do mean literally.
I know old conqueror was arguably even more of a defensive mess compared to conqueror today. but thats not entirely what i want to point out.
back when players less knew how to play the game conq had a lot of both jank, and really good/cool tech.
Specfically back then conq could have been one of the most feint heavy characters in the game. (which is pretty ironic since he cant actually feint)
but you could feint both your lights and heavy attacks with full block much more smoothly than you can now. specifically this one particular video at the time was what actually inspired me to pick up conq. Have a watch if you like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPy52YarHdk
Heres a list of all the different jank and/or tech he had at the time.
Superior block at all times. this gave him guardbreaks after blocking any heavy attack and negated all chip damage.
While holding Charged heavy he could A. Guardbreak you out of lights. B. Block any attack and instantly do a guaranteed charged bash. C. Throw a light attack (funny)
If you spun your guard to feint your attacks, you could instantly do a guardbreak instead of a charged bash.
Guard Instantly swapped to your current dodge direction, rather than 100 to 200ms into the dodge. you could beat all guard specific punishes that existed at the time with this.
A bug let you get a side heavy off a front dodge bash if you attacked opposite their guard.
Im definitely not saying really much of this at all should be brought back. but it would be very cool to see him be good at feinting again, and with perhaps some tweaks he could potentially become a feinting menace similar to berserker.
Slightly more of just a nostalgia post with a lot of rambling for me. but thanks for reading!
