Downloaded. I need to seriously sit down and practice the move sets on a target that will not really hit back, because that (and blocking) is where I struggle. Speaking of which, I thought blocking was timed for all characters until literally last night. I'm just binge watching "how to" videos now like this one. Had no idea champion status was even a thing. Cripes.
I'm about to hop on, it's DLing on another Xbox, so I'm using my alt account until that's finished. Alt account name: CRIPESALLMIGHTY Normal account name: NomadHokie
I don't understand the blocking mechanics whatsoever. Even in just the most basic blocking practice I can get like 5 straight then get hit by 5 straight and feel like I nailed them all exactly the same. Maybe I'm missing something but it doesn't seem to work very consistently.
Depends on who you're using. If you use one of the small shifty people you need to time it correctly, if using one of the big guys you don't.
Whenever you're blocking to the right or left angle it down a little bit rather than going straight to the right or left. Otherwise you could be in the dead zone that's in between the side blocking and the upwards blocking.
Once I saw my cavalry ranking it got out of control. I want to make top 10 on xbone. I'm top 53 across all platforms.
Prestiged tonight on ol Nobushi. Finally feel like I kind of know what I'm doing though I need to manage my stamina better.
Ok, after playing most of the night on different characters, Nobushi has the stamina of fucking Shuboki -- which I think is kind of absurd. You use hidden stance and immediately lose 25% of your stamina -- before you even strike. Great character, but the stamina thing is a real problem for the way I tend to play. I don't have a stamina issue for literally any other character I've played.
How is the game holding up population wise? Haven't been able to play since the day after release. I'm hoping it continues to be popular.
Xbone is like 30 second waits for me. Also peacemaker destroys everyone except shield people. It's infuriating
I haven't experienced any lag issues. Like once every few games it'll "reconnect for about 10secs but that's about it
That normally just happens when someone leaves mid game and the it stops. so the game can insert a bot onto the team.
P2P hosting seems like the worst kind of money grab but if you guys haven't noticed it being a problem then This game looks cool but I don't want to hate it 20 minutes after buying
It is, it's a stereotypical Ubisoft move. There have been some connection errors that have kicked me and others as well. Probably happens about twice a night.
