Remove Jaeyun from ranked until he is balanced

[ᓚᘏᗢ]

"Boo-hoo, cry more" yeah, I know. But it's impossible to approach the greatsword unless you main bow or scythe. Every greatsword player does the same stuff: Slight or Dlight+mashing the light attack button, which is a three-hit string that sends you to the skies, is incredibly simple to input but nearly impossible to dodge out of. Dlight covers a lot of area, and most weapons don't stand a chance against it. I play Brynn/Asuri and I faced 5 Jaeyuns today; I lost to all of them, as neither spear nor axe are valid against the greatsword. Naturally, they all had the same playstyle: throw the sword away, pick up a bigger one, stand on the edge of the platform and wait for me to attack, then dlight+light attack mashing = climb to diamond in no time. Katars and sword are obviously useless as well

You might make an argument that most weapons have go-to strings that are most prominent, notably bow and spear. Well, with these weapons you at least have to do something else other than just mashing literally 2 buttons. This is a braindead weapon that is ridiculously easy to use and yet it's so powerful

Brawlhalla is such a joke

Joke or not great sword is a bad weapon on every aspect. Just dodge into them after the first hit lands and they can't follow up with any of their strings unless they heavily delay them.

The only way to play this weapon right now in my opinion is to use recovery for 90% of the match because it's the only decent attack he has and luckily it's a finisher.

The thing is, after the first hit doesn't land (let's say I'm trying to space it), if the player keeps attacking, they can continue the string with moves that cover a wide area, eliminating most dodge options immediately.

The only valid strategy against the greatsword in my opinion is waiting for a full string and then attacking, which is passive playstile by definition, and it's something that I retch when I think about. It's the opposite of fun, I wanna dash into my opponent and land strings, but I get punished with one button every time.

i understand you, i'm plat 3 and i can't deal without be toxic with him :| do not understand how to counter , but an advice for win easy, is to play full passif :| but is not fun and dumb, normaly i do not play like that but against this weapons i do not know how to fight :|

When the first attack hits its certainly a confirmed string unless you mash your dodge button.

Therefore, greatsword is the weapon for people who doesn't know how to string coz' its creates the string for you. Like literally, what other weapon in this game can you think of that will hit just by mashing a single button? Plus a directional key at most? None. Only greatsword.

Total garbage. It should only be a tutorial weapon to teach you strings without basically you doing the actual strings.


TL;DR

Everyone: idk how to do strings,
Greatsword: imma pretend I didn't see that.

If you don't know how to string. Use greatsword. It's free strings.

You literally need to press one button then boom. EZ win.


GARBONGO. MY DISAPPOINT IS IMMEASURABLE AND MY DAY IS RUINED.

[=WL= Soulfull.bw(Here and not)]

Have you all try attacking from above or moving out of the range of the attack? The thing is if you dodge bait the gretsword power to be out of range you can power attack or ocunter almost instantly to punish them for it. It bigger but it also has a lot lag too.

I have no idea how you people lose to this horrible weapon honestly.

I dunno, I guess not everyone has put 3000+ hours into brawlhalla :D If we were to do a poll, I'd wager that 90% of people would say the weapon is horribly overpowered, at least those who are not mighty professionals in the art of brawl and can't read the enemy 10 moves in advance

Understandable point but regardless balancing shouldn't be around casuals level of play so hopefully BMG doesn't nerf a weapon that's already bad. That's all

[1ceGold]

So here is what Ive gotten, you play the same way against a GS as you would any other weapon and are mad you lose to it? and not even someone using it properly but a spammer. Mate you approach every weapon to its weakness so for GS with air dodge or from below. That's like saying 'i lose to a sniper when I dont use cover to close distance. Balance it, it kills me and i cant shoot back.' its not even about 3000 hr its just that ur bad idc if you can play one style perfectly cuz that's already not how to play this game every weapon is weak against some playstyles and strong against others so a good Brawlhalla player knows their options and uses the appropriate one

Well, so far you haven't provided a single argument as to why it's so bad. I'm not saying you have to, of course, but it would contribute to the discussion, I guess?

1) Greatsword does ridiculous damage and can kill in orange even without using a signature.
2) Its strings require two buttons being pressed, and for how easy they are to input, they are too hard to dodge out of and have way too much force.
3) Even with it being a bit heavy and wieldy, for many people it's not an issue with how much it rewards a passive playstyle – just stay grounded, wait for your opponent to throw an attack, spotdodge, and do a braindead string that will deal 30+ damage.

These are my thoughts on why this weapon is OP. Why do you think it's "bad in every aspect", exactly?

Bruh, I get it, every weapon has weaknesses so we've got to use them, please don't assume I'm so intellectually challenged that you need to explain that to me. I understand this. You can read my arguments above if you want to find out why exactly I'm not happy with it. To make it brief, the guy with the greatsword immediately dominates the arena. He doesn't need to do anything to break YOUR defence and find weaknesses in YOUR weapon; he'll wait for you to do some move, and if it's not a frame-perfect dodge, he'll one-button string you into oblivion.
