EPTI do not want to play a rock/paper/scissor game, i want a reactionbased game where everything can be defended.
No free-damage we have from parrying and dodging.

The shield classes need to be giving a little more offense and have their defensive reigned in. I play the conqueror a lot he is so sluggish that you almost always feel like you have to turtle. You can’t feign either, which might be the problem. | ||

Easy to block one attack, but 3-4 attacks in a row? | ||

That is the promised land for any 1v1 game, where it is all about the players out witting each other. Can you translate execute for me in terms of figting games. Also why is that so relevant? Just because its like that in those games, it doesnt mean its the best method. In for honor, there is literally no tactic now. And you dont want to make for honor tactic based? | ||

In street fighter, they throw fireballs to force a response. | ||

And their opponent knows this and works to not present an opening for them to preform the combo/move. So the game becomes about creating that opening for themselves. That is why "canceling" is so important in those games, because they can fake out their opponents. All fighting games will be focused on out thinking your opponent once everyone gets a grip on the match ups. In street fighter, they throw fireballs to force a response. Alright. So the Difference between regular fighting games and for honor is that you can parry the opponent here i guess? Parrying can switch the initaive instead of giving free daamge which would lead to it being okay if your opponent combos you. I guess in tekken you can parry but its inconsistent, so i wouldnt say those are similar | ||

They need some form of chip damage or you get people blocking in the corner like in fighting games. There are plenty of moves in fighting games that are not always “safe” and it does turn into mind games and “rock paper scissors” But in tekken, everything is defendable, yet its hard to defend against all sorts of attacks. In tekken, taking the initaitve to being the attacker is encouraged. In For honor its not encouraged one bit. Chip damage feels abusive to me. Just attack without brain or execution or anything, just spam the opponent and win. However, if the opponent parries you, even your light attacks you are at square 1 again. Meaning, you cant do anything. I want to feel good about attacking. Right now doing a duel is very boring. If we look at boxing, irl boxing. You have tactics how you execute your combos, you have hard hits, you have pokes. Reflexes, footwork. Why cant for honor be like that. That you have to earn your damage. | ||

Of course full parrys would take no damage, because that requires you to execute. In my mind. This design would not change what i feel for honor, would still feel really bad to play the game. But sure, stick with it and if they implement it, we will see. | ||

It is just a cost of being super defensive and a way to beat someone of you have a life lead and trap them in the corner. | ||

While we are at it, defending will still be super easy its just that when you block you take damage. Like nothing is changing except making attacking a forced move and defending not rewarded enough. Want to swing a heavy? Well you cant cuz you will get parried. So doing a heavy is impossible. Only left is those light poke attacks. What a tremdnous fun gameplay we have here guys. | ||

I mean, to be fair, there is chip damage in this game; it's just not much. There's even stats for it in gear: "Block Damage" and "Block Damage Resist." | ||
