raider's favorite album

Second for da vikings

Can anyone tell me the bread and butter combos for Lawbringer, since the new update?

They were my second class choice but I've been playing Shugoki. Just hit rep 5 goki.

That does not sound like raider.

>parry light
>go for overhead heavy
>raided just fumbles his axe around then does a exhausted heavy

Why is raider so shit?

Thanks for the memes guys but this game is dead

>Enjoying playing with a guy beating my ass
>Haven't played warden in a long while so doing poorly, don't know how to capitalize on shodler bashes or anything
>Say that I'm doing terrible lightheartedly
>He insults me and leaves because I ledged him twice one match
Well I was having fun
Why is this community so salty?

8 chooses the next hero I main.

Anything but Lawman is fine by me, desu

You know what you gotta do

Lawman

good taste, but how does this represent rider?

Warden's favorite album ;^)
youtube.com/watch?v=z20n9PuEdLo

looks like you choose for yourself, but if not play Law

Lawman.

absolutely no reliable combos as of now
after the update
>shove > light > shove > heavy(feint) > gb
>parry(near a wall) > impale > top heavy > confirm light > shove > light

/fhg/ is evil, if no one gets an 8 in reply I'm going PK just to spite you all.

>Get rep 3
>spam crates until out of steel
>lose all interest in playing the character


zero picks my new main.

PK____

Warden

law or ken, your choice

Peaceklawbringer

What hero did you get to rep3?

Also, go Shugoki or go home.

Did Vikings really have nu-male haircuts?

it's decided

>playing raider for a while
>go back to Warden
>game is playable again
I'm not going back to shit characters.

same, Nobushi is fun and all
but when enemies can parry all your attacks the fun stops

Already have Shugo and Raider to rep 3.

Up to you I guess.
Shugo to rep 6?

Nah, go berserker then

After spending a few weeks with this game it's finally convinced me that even Street Fighter 5 is more fun and fulfilling to play.

Bring me back when it's not vortex simulator

I GIVE MY LIFE
NOT _____________
BUT, FOR YOUUUUU

Got warlord to rep 4 and Law to rep 3. Every (every) other character is either rep 1 or 2.
No true mains on this ride

he's sad because he's fucking garbage

'zerk it is!

Warlord.

Good luck my friend

You may wanna practice on feints if you haven't already, or else you're gonna hate life

Since you 8'd yourself, I'll give something besides lawman.
___Valkyrie___

>shaved sides is nu-male
whaaa

Oh yes it is.

this fuckin sword

>Get warlord to rep 5
>Duel order
>Would feel bad about using him and use Shugoki instead
Doesn't make sense at all. Any shame I may have had should be long dead by now.

>shitty gold-leaf blade
Gaudy garbage, almost as bad as the horrid red shit.

Berserker has it too

I mean I wouldn't be surprised if it was a thing for Vikings. Lots of old haircuts fall out of style and have a resurgence later on in popularity.

I hate shaved sides as much as the next guy, but let's be fair here, it's mostly easily triggered females who have them. Nu-males usually have shitty beards and hipster glasses, not sidecuts. Also usually balding.

>we've found inconsistencies in your gameplay and your rewards have been forfeited

What do they mean by this? I'm on console by the way.

afk farming eh?

its gonna be satisfying to win over "practical" fags like you

nope just went 6-0 in an elimination match.

lol no
That's fucking bullshit.

I take this the same way I would if you dressed up like a pretty pony princess instead of a golden-spike edgelord.

____glhf :)____

new heroes when?

Fuck that brah
I've got bear traps for daaaaaaaaaays

end of faction war, so like a couple weeks

>Playing meme modes
Do whatever you want then, it doesn't matter if you're good or not.

What's that last attack?

I prefer duels to the other modes, but I'm not taking zerk into duels, and if I did it would in no way be a contest of skill.

zone attack with second half canceled

Zone with second part cancelled

What's your shitty weakness /fhg/? What easy thing absolutely fucking destroys you?

For me, it's Raider and Law heavies. Almost always flub my parry unless i'm actually focused on the game, which I never am because it's not like winning matters yet.

>When you keep losing against people but they're really nice and help you learn new characters so you still have a good time.
Having to relearn a game after a break has never been so fun. And I can feel myself slowly reaching where I was before, it's great.

What are some wholesome interactions you've had in this game?

warden vortex

I just can't into boop on snoot or roll away, I always try to dodge away

Valk and PK.

I just cant keep up and it never feels fair, regardless of whether i played well.

Raiders in general, somehow.

Roach dash-up GB

Gets me every
fucking
last
time

Especially when I know it's coming.

calling everyone who plays warden a cunt scumbag and getting angry at the game to the point where i have to go take a walk

>tfw reaction speed is too shit to block zone attacks

>Your weakness is raiders
>Not fashion

>light so slow you can react to it while blinded and still fucking parry it

amazing

That's some good shit, user. Exactly what I need on a Sunday evening.

-t. Raider main

Shug's attacks, light or heavy, throw me off so bad. I can't parry them worth shit.

when is DLC even coming out? i wont buy it, becuase i haven't even been playing, but like, are the new characters going to be broken as shit?

SNAAAAKEEEE EATERRRRRR

DLC comes out at the end of the season. It's not a purchase, it's a free update. We don't know how the balance will be. Knowing Ubi, they'll be either broken as shit or unusable.

>new characters
>jewbisoft
>free

For some reason I've developed a new weakness to Berserker top heavies. I always try to parry it way too early.
Which sucks cause that thing does like 4 bars of health.

Warden and Zerk. Warden I can kind of get, but, I'm conditioned to waiting and responding when I see an attack coming, instead of light attacking. Zerks, almost the opposite problem, I can't stop them once they get going.

It's the Rainbow 6 model my guy. This isn't news.

Standard Shit-Dev Cycle applies;

1. New character releases
2. New character gets shit on by everyone because they've been playing their buggy, broken messes for months and have every exploit ingrained into muscle memory.
3. People bitch and moan endlessly
4. New character gets over-buffed
5. People gradually figure out all of the new character's buggy, broken exploitative shit and it becomes the new meta FOTM
6. New character eventually gets a couple of pitiful slap-on-the-wrist nerfs just in time for the Next New Character release

Just wasted this weekend getting my lb from rep 1 to rep 4 because of the buffs soonTM. What armor/axe do you guys think looks the best?

You don't block zone attacks on reaction, you just always hold the guard in direction where it comes from.

>roach main
JUST

>character comes out and it's not SS tier
>not able to compete with people already maining the high tiers for 3 months
>#What the fuck? Why would they release a non functional character?? Buff nao!!
>character comes out and it actually is high tier
>or it just has moves people haven't adapted to yet
>#OP! OP! nerf this broken shit! p2w jews trying to steal our money!
Every. Time.

>playing an assassin
>guard runs out mid combo
>my opponent just keeps hitting the same spot

The new character has to start strong to get people to abandon their main.

I know.
These characters seem all cool and interesting now, but soon you'll learn to hate Warlord and Peacekeeper 2.0

>PKs regularly beat me with nothing but light spam because I cannot keep up with it
>Rumors that PK is getting a nerf
>Finally they'll be slowed fucking down and I won't have faggots spamming one button beating me
>The nerf doesn't touch her lights at all
Seriously, how fucking incompetent is ubisoft? At this point I wouldn't be surprised to hear one or more of the devs main PK, because this shit is obviously game breaking

Law, actually. And yes, zone attacks are bullshit and should only be usable when not locked on to anyone.

Lights are 300 ms
Average human reaction time is 250 ms
It's a stretch but possible

The real issue was zone cancelling

I feel bad for roach moans
Only top light and zone are any good
If you try to do lights anywhere else you get parried then raider takes out 1/3 of your health.

Sucks cause thats the best knight helm too.

It's hard as shit, especially when it costs so little stamina so they can spend the entire match doing nothing but.
She's literally easy mode, she never needs to throw a single heavy to win

A 50 ms nerf could be in order, force her to feint heavy attacks.

>Lights are 300 ms
no they aren't, they're like 500ms

What do you play as? With characters with fast guard times PKs are no problem to block and parry. I feel like slowing down her lights might balance her out for slower guard classes, but make her too easy for fast guard characters. Maybe the solution is less damage.

Lights are 300ms
Average human reaction time is 250ms
Stance change speed from neutral is 100ms

There is a problem here

I play a little of everyone, and across all characters I just can't fucking keep up with PK. I'm literally resorting to running away and camping a ledge, because I just cannot stop their light spam. Other characters I have no problem parrying, but she's a nightmare

Everyone's wrong, it's 400 ms

Make a custom match against a lvl 3 pk with infinite health. Spend 25 minutes literally just blocking and guard breaking, and it'll click for you. Trust me

Wait I'm a retard that's the zone attack, it's 500 ms
that seems fair

No, initial light is 500ms, second in the chain is 400ms

I'm the guy who posted and for some reason I just didn't fucking notice the initial guy fucked the number.

Most everyone involved here has failed in some capacity.
