So the Orochi is OP as hell I'm guessing?

Edit: Yup, it is lol. I like how it takes people less than a day to figure out which class is the most broken.
 
Yeah this lock on system could use some work. I'm constantly trying to switch to a target with less health in 2v1's but the game just refuses to let me.
 
Finally had a match with someone who didn't spam guardbreak. It's alright, but not something I'd play for hours or would buy. Not like there aren't enough february games anyway.

And I don't like how teams are mixed. Feels completely against what they're going for with the story.

And this

So the items increase stats? Why? It should be appearances only, it seems weird considering the type of game.

makes it an easy pass.
 
Yeah, so after a handful of matches, it's pretty rough.

Guard Breaks are way too easy to do. Low risk, super high reward.

Orochi and Conqueror shit all over the other classes.

Having items actually give stat boosts is ridiculously dumb. Guessing that comes straight from that top at Ubisoft. $60 game with pay to win in effect. No thanks.
 
Blocking feels really unresponsive for me most of the time (with Orochi). Any tips? I'm assuming my timing must be way off, but I'm having a hell of a time getting the counter down properly, either I block too early or not at all, which is really annoying.
Also, evasive maneuvers wise, is dodging worth it? It seems really slow and covers next to no ground, so I just get hit anyway.
Oh, and I'm having no luck if more than one enemy gangs up on me (mainly down to the above blocking problem). I want to like the game, but I'm just not digging the feel of the combat at all.
 
Guys, for some reason i got an invite to the PC version, but I can't figure out how to download the game onto my PC. Is there supposed to be something on Uplay or?

Why and how?

You can interrupt a grab attack with a light attack, or counter it with your own grab attack.
 
Item with stats is such a fucking dumb idea, at the very least make it loss a stat while you gain another so that it's more about specialization than a pure bonus.

Full priced game more p2w than a freaking f2p fractured space or Atlas reactor.

It's only an alpha but I hope matchmaking will try to put premade against same size premade in the final game, sure doesn't feel that way atm.

you do lose stats and only gain one, as the items go up in ranking though.

at least that's how it was. also they don't really change a lot.
 
It's funny how you can completely toy with someone in this game once you get in their mind, I like that.

Hopefully they'll go back on P2P and stats on items, but eh.

How are the M/KB controls? Got the beta on XO, but got a decent PC that could run it a lot better. Game seems made for controllers though..

Satisfying as fuck.
 
Just had a really tense 1v1 game. Won 3-2, but it came down to the final round. I love this game. I'm playing it on PC, and I've had to encounter a single drop below 60. Very impressed.
 
Anyone's got a solution for the crashes on start up?
I can never start it up even though my laptop can easily run it at 60fps...
 
They need to increase the ammount of Steele you earn after a match, or make it possible to scrap items for Steele.
