how to fight hitokiri?

[Mitziete]

is the only proper way to fight him by playing pure defense? it seems like almost every attack he has, has hyper armor or he has that leg sweep that's insanely long

Hit them till they die.

Hard to explain, depends on matchup and the Hitokiri you're facing, but if you have a good bash you can use after a feint then make sure you use that a lot instead of feint GB.

i spent a good bit practicing against him and here's how i do it

he will try to feint hyper armor everything to trade - dont try to parry just block all his regular attacks. keep blocking till he runs out of stamina and if you have a bash character use it

if he tries to do an unblockable either dodge or parry. i wouldn't reccommend dodging but getting the timing down to parry. it's not as wild as a raider or shigoki. he can't cancel it too late

for his trip wait till he actually goes to move his leg out before dodging. it takes some practice to get the timing down so go to training mode and get it down. you can get an ez guard break when you.

Who are you playing as?

go into training mode.

Learn her variable timing for her heavies and parry them. Learn to parry her HA light finisher and hito will start to turtle up.

When they go for their kick mix up, that's your time to be aggressive. Light attacks "should" beat most of Hito's kick mix-ups, be careful when dodging her kick, back dodge won't work if Hito feints kick into GB.

Her kick is vulnerable to GB if you can manage to dodge.

Hitokiri is actually balanced fairly well. Her kit is quite basic and once you learn what Hito can and cannot do, they become much easier to handle.

Her HA is no where near as annoying as say Raiders with his high damage to go with it.

Hitokiri is not balanced his instant HA is bs and needs a delay other than that he is fine tho

I don't find HA to be that frustrating to be honest.

Shes closer to being balanced than most of the cast. Ill take 1 thing that needs a bit of fine tuning over a Character like raider that is obviously over tuned.

i used to be really aggrivated fighting her but honestly after practicing a little bit she's not THAT bad. surely more balanced than jorm or raider right now

you can at least counter her if she messes up unlike jorm or raider who are fundamenbtally broken

Again all she needs is a delay on HA on her opening heavy rest she is fine. Im maining her she is rep 40ish now

Main tip, keep him out of his chains at all costs because his neutral pressure consists of block damage and an unblockable.

[David13th]

Basically Hitokiri is just feints grab, just wait and don't get caught. Watch out for the first heavu attack because it has hyper armor. Don't spam lights, once you get light parried don't panic. You can interrupt their chain attack as well.

Play as Conq, Warden, or BP, that's how you fight Hito.

BP no Warden and Conq yes. Since Hito can counter BP more easily

[kudo]

play a bash character

i'm sorry but yes there's a reason why everyone's saying this
