Secret mega prize fucking when?

About time you fags updated the patch notes. Thanks for the thread

The """numero uno""" was extremely quiet today

That was one thread ago not made by me. Although to be fair, at least someone made the thread when pic limit was reached.

Reminder that knights are for cucking and dominating! :3

...

don't start that again.

shameless OC repost

Nice of you to feed him...

xth for cute warden!

Ugh if they would just nerf the tracking on her bite pounce and maybe slow her dash heavy by like a quarter second I'd be more or less fine with her but as is just pisses me off to fight against.

Reminder that Berserker wasn't even that bad and his rework makes him nearly impossible to fight in 4v4 or if there's any lag. Reminder that Kensei now has a mixup that can cover every single defensive option in the game. Reminder that Conqueror got 3 damage on lights.

>tfw Bio fucking set up Skorband against your knights

so has anyone gotten the 3 hour reward yet? any idea wtf it is?

4K steel

youtube.com/watch?v=HFmihuS-x4E

CAN YOU FEEL IT KENSEI?

Just bought in. Any beginner character recs?

I liked old conq. I am skeptical of this new one.

peacekeeper and lawbringer are braindead easy
All the knights execpt cuckerour are easy.

Just play who-ever works cool.
Personal preference if for Warden and Kensei tho

Lawbringer. Other new players don't know how to deal with his Light attack -> Heavy attack -> Unblockable combo

tfw still haven't gotten it despite the fact I watched the whole thing
all the vanguards are simple enough. just pick a character you like and take them into duel practice, try them out. it's not a bad idea to play through the campaign once, either. gives you a chance to play all the vanilla game heroes and teaches you game mechanics too.
you can mash new players as literally anyone

Finish Story mode to get free steel, crates and goodies from collectibles. There's a guide and everything on OP so make sure you read the current good guides like new player pastebin and gear stat. The others like max punish and youtube videos give you a good idea what you're looking at but might be outdated soon enough considering the current meta favors parrying and defensive play (next week's patch drop is huge)

Any vanguard would do but until next week they're from best to worst raider, kensei = warden who are both low tier. After trying them out, pick a hero from the bunch and play. You should try all of them in duel practice to get a good feel of how they move and their habits. Sometimes a attack, parry or guardbreak is guaranteed so start with the basics then play around with them. For example, feints are used to "bait and fish" heavy whiffs in order to parry them. Ledging, ganks and throws are fair, don't listen to any moral fag that will tell you otherwise in a 2v2/4v4 teamplay match.

Also, you definitely want to alternate between PvAI if online is too laggy for you by turning off Matchmaking to complete orders faster. The match itself versus AI will give you peanuts for exp and steel but they're mainly to get a better feel of multiplayer and to complete orders and get your steel. If you're not planning on using more than 3 dlc heroes, you might wanna skip the season pass and grind a week of daily orders for a dlc hero you like. It's not hard if you do them under 30 mins on or offline.

tl;dr start with story mode, you got some reading to do on pastebin, fuck around on duel practice on the lv 0 PK dummy and learn the heroes.

Is there any actual reason that centurion didn't get gladiators new execution.

I mean which one of them is the guy who punches people to death?

I am still surprised cent doesn't have an execution where he just beats someone to death with his bare hands yet.

Fuck you nigger his new executions chad as fuck.

I thought it was gonna be a THIS IS ROME! kick or something

The wiki doesn't have the new executions, mind sharing?

Thanks

There's webms but tldr
Cent literally flails arms back and forth and takes off your head
Glad gets punched in his execution then delivers a harder punch.

Conqs, report your thoughts on the reworks.

I think that we might be getting shafted.

youtube.com/watch?v=u-MEdexvAwA

I'm sorry user. this is the best I could do.

Cover Your ears

I only play conq on a semi-regular basis but while I don't think he'll be worse he's only going to be barely better.

I mean what especially after the parry reworks he basically can never use his heavy again right? He has no confirms for it and even on console it's fucking easy to avoid.

Damn it I really want to play but I had a hay fever attack earlier so I'm absurdly tired and can barely think coherently so I can't play better than a level 1 bot

Season V he will have it
> so near the end of it obviously

I fucking love it so much
I CAN'T WAIT TO GRIND FOR THAT STEEL

...

gross

youtu.be/uvMqNja8VhI

gankbuster autist uploaded them youtube.com/watch?v=okGT9s3gaYI

Every character can be mastered in a matter of minutes and pretty much all of them play exactly the same.
Pick whoever you think looks cool.

>punches a dude's head clean off in his own execution
Why are you complaining?

Thanks everyone!

>flails arms around like retard.
vs
>gets hit, goes full offended roman and decks someone out.

its not hard. if itwas something like pic related though it could be pretty cool.

That's a cute PK.

I don't understand why Aramusha's execution has those yellow energy effects in this and the teaser image from a week ago, but I haven't seen it show up in any footage from the actual game.
The same thing happened with LB's "Impaler" back when we used to have the old execution movies.
You could see the LB exhale when he looked up at the person he skewered and his breathe was all cloudy because it was a snowy map, but it never happened in game.

This. Cent's execution is dumb spinning, and the punch is barely the focus. I'd way rather have the Gladiator one.

So far 0 of Gladiator's executions have shown off being a "performer" or whatever the fuck they went on about at their release, they're just thematically bankrupt outside of their coin toss, which looks stupid because the coin sits on the fucking grip of their buckler

Anyone has a webm of aras exec?

Would you buy this if it was a execution?

well ,ow that I think about it, glads new execution does sort of play up a Diva angle

...

we'd need a rapier champion first.
if that was the case? I'd do it in a heartbeat. its just a shame we can't buy furiously fast emotes on knight heroes for maximum jojo reference

>Omae wa mou... shindeiru

I'd take it for Valk

Fo real, twink>trap>vanilla.

So what is the 3 hour reward for watching that stream? I watched for 4+ hours but never got it.

Theres some glowing effect on his hand too.

Three Kingdoms mercenary for Samurai when?

>ded game general
what can save this game?

Everybody gets a chinaman!
Knights get Gan Ning
Vikings get Wei Yan
Samurai get Xiahou Dun

Apollyon gets Lu Bu

>getting the "Ball Hog" emote for Warden massively improved my performance as her

Anyone else experience this? Something about easily spammable emotes just really makes a character click for me.

What did I miss out after watching Blackstone lose to Samurais? What was super secret reward?

Vikings won by virtue of their team being stacked to all hell, what a shocker. I don't think anyone has gotten the secret reward yet.

Anything else? I do know they showed the training mode, but I was too tired to keep watching.
Also Vikings winning was expected, can't let their favorites lose.

No secret 3h reward or for Vikings for winning todays stream i think.

I should be mad that they made a cheap clickbait of the stream but I can't complain about free shit from leaving my screen afk on it.

I dont mind waiting for it a day. I went to sleep for an hour with screen on stream so its fine.

yeah I got the 3 other rewards but not the secret or viking winnings yet

Training Arena looks pretty neat, it gives you a lot of control over almost every variable to recreate basically any conceivable situation to practice, and it gives you the numbers on everything as well. Probably should've been in from the start, but I'm not gonna complain. Also kinda showcases that some animations are getting tweaked to look better, like Warden's shoulder bash.

The trials are essentially a revamped tutorial, but they're more in-depth about all the little nuances, and some even come with cutscenes.

>grind kensei for his t-bag emote
>his combos feel twice as satisfying
It's only getting better next week with his mix ups but his damage is definitely gonna be all over the place.

is female kensei the best female samurai

No, Fem Aramusha is the best, that's why they won't give her to us.

Fem Shinobi is the next best thing.

So close. So Far.

Yes.
But look at her model, it's wierdly awful. Look at her neck and fingers. Unless dudesei is like that too

I think it's a fair trade desu, you're losing out on damage but you're going to be landing attacks a lot more often.

>Two high rep lawbringer and a high rep shinobi on the enemy team
>Nothing but "guess the game! :^)" and bombs all fucking round
Shinobifag was right, but he's as much as a faggot as lawtists.

Fem Roach has a chest so fat it literally makes her armor diagonal.

I really wanted this; cute tattoo'd drunkard whose kind of an edgelord. man, i hope one day they get rid of the gender restrictions

i hope that one day they completely remove all option to pick a female character, JUST to see waifu faggots like you cry.

>shinobifag was right
Shinobifags are never right. You're trying to hard to focus hate on my bigboi

I don't know about the neck and fingers, but at least they changed the wrinkled face on that one mask I prefer. I really like her voice though.

I wish she would say jinjou ni shibo for her unblockable like the male version. The voicing is weirdly inconsistent in For Honor; even with the male kensei, who has lines for blocking attacks you can only hear when fighting against him.

youtube.com/watch?v=joU_kSx-zRU

>the one nip who looks almost exactly like the male version bar the slightly thinner torso and has a voice of a dying cat is next best thing
why don't you be a roman if just you want under aged boys?

Lawbringer is cancer in 4v4, though. In every possible way.
>massive healthpool
>shove to interrupt chains if you don't have easy unblockables from neutral
>bombs
>can stack bombs to make you instantly OOS and stunned making the second and possible third bomb guaranteed
>long arm ignores revenge and keeps revenge from being activated during
>sounds like an old man having a prostate exam
These are all things that add up to just making Lawbringers a massive pain in the ass.

my gosh, nobushi sounds like a granny

Though Raiders are still the apex cancer since they don't even need feats.

female characters that aren't gender locked are second class. They use male mocap on shit like executions so they clip and don't look right on closer inspections, they have less lines, a gender custom character will NEVER get an even SLIGHTLY feminine emote because it would mean males being able to use it, etc etc etc etc.

>not liking husky deep asian woman voices

did any of his damage values actually get reduced? looked like all that happened is the top heavy starter and 2nd attack damage getting increased

His lights do less damage now iirc.

I didn't say I didn't like it, but I kind of expected Kensei to have that kind of voice. From Nobushi's attack lines I hear, I didn't expect that voice from her

I really hate now inconsistent and uncommon sounds can be in this game. There's so many neat voice lines that you hardly ever get to hear. I thought Ubisoft was supposed to be decent at sound porn in their games.
>Enemy Male Kensei blocking sometimes goes "Mada mada! >:C"
>Enemy Orochis and Shinobodes have similar
>Enemy Lawbringer sounds like a retarded old man, he is the only character who has a completely different voice depending on team perspective
>Emotes sound different depending on team perspective, some actually sound pretty cool like pic related

I don't know why most of the voice acting is on enemy perspective, since that's apparently where all the personality goes for the characters. It would be really neat if they just overhauled sounds and voices so we'd all hear it.

shit I forgot my pic

My only guess is that just like color lock, different voices were picked to help you differentiate who's with your team and who isn't.
Turns out this design decision is as retarded and everyone would prefer it if they freely had access to them all.

The thing about the voicework for enemy Lawbringers is that the actual voicelines sound fine, it's the attacking/damaged sounds that are goofy. When he's speaking normally he just sounds Italian, but as soon as he swings or gets hit, all you hear is "NYOOOOOH".

Honestly everyone sounds like a dipshit when they get hit, the vikings sound like they huff paint and the samurai are all exaggerated anime gasps.

I figure that making enemies speak whatever their language is and allies speak whatever language your game is set in serves two purposes. First it makes things a bit easier to understand (allied soldiers cheer you on, allies thank you in your language, etc)
Second, it keeps you from getting confused in chaotic situations. If both teams spoke in viking/samurai/knight then either team emoting could confuse you if this doesn't make sense shut up I can barely think right now

>tfw can hear Cent and Highlander from across the map when they git hit

>mexican flag emblem
>light spams with aramusha

Someone made them all webms last thread
