Why is cent so broken

[Goynus™]

Sorry if i'm wrong here, getting back into the game after not playing awhile, but from what i've noticed centurion is broken as all hell. I'm absolutely sure that cent can get 50% or more of my hp off one heavy, because he gets a free punch that knocks me to the ground that he can then leap on me. I'm playing Berserker so my hp is going to be lower than others, but one heavy resulting in 50-70% of my hp is absurd. Plus on someone like Berserk where you faint alot its near impossible not to run out of stamina from is absurd unblockables.

Centurion is actually pretty bad right now, after multiple nerfs and the parry changes in s5, but he is still a pretty good noobstomper. Take it easy and in time you'll figure him out.

Again though, I don't see how its very fair that he can have several unblockables chained together, or the fact that he can get 2 other moves absolutely free off of a heavy.

I suppose by several unblockables you are referring to the excruciatingly slow heavy finishers. I can assure you that there are many chained unblockable attacks which are far worse than centurion's unblockables.

Centurion's unblockables aren't very far from being the most easily parried unblockables in the game. It's just that you just got back to For Honor. As I said, take it cool, try to not get frustrated, and you'll get used to it in no time.

His kicks and jabs are all dodgable and predictable as well and quite punishable.

Because there's no reason for you to ever be hit by the those heavies, as he has no way of forcing a reaction or a guardbreak, while his "several unblockables" chained together that you mention, only confirm one combo: the charged jab into Eagle's Talon. Unless it's a charged heavy into charged punch, all of his unblockables are entirely avoidable, easily reactable and almost always punishable.

He can do better in team modes (though only in favourable gank situations, as he's a mediocre to bad team-fighter and cannot anti-gank at all) with an ally to disable the opponent so he can actually land a hit, but he still feeds revenge harder than virtually anyone else in the game, and other heroes are far better at ganking than he is.

He's a common source of complaints from newbies because people who don't know how to fight him yet get wiped out pretty quickly due to his high punishes, but keep practicing and you'll reach a point where he literally cannot touch you; it's just a matter of breaking through.

I give you 2 tips that helped me out to get along with Centurion.
Even tho I think his 65 HP combo still needs to get nerfed because of how easy it is to execute it in a small passage and how much stamina he still has after his combo of multiple hits. They should rework that imo.

So to the tips:
First: If you see him charging a unblockable heavy you should just light attack him. He has no hyper armor during that attack and as berserker your hit lands pretty fast. Also side dodge attack works fine to the heavy finisher or the unblockable kick.

Second: If you see him chargin a heavy punch from NO heavy attack than you should try to dodge it to the side.

Cent is mostly about dodging and interrupting.
His heavy attacks are pretty fast and light also.
Be careful. In good hands he is still pretty strong

I very much appreciate your post, you gave much better feedback. As yo usaid, the hp combo is quite ridiculous which is my main concern, because as much as others want to say I should "never get hit by a heavy," you are going to get hit by his heavys. The issue with the light attacking is the fact that sometimes i'm farther away where i can't get a light attack off, which I could try side dodging I suppose but I don't like the unpredictable nature of his heavys, and the tight dodging you have to do to actually dodge lots of his attacks. From my experience dodging his attacks are the worst i've seen, as if you dodge too soon or too late they can still track you pretty easy. I do need to work on light attacking while hes heavy charging though, so I appreciate that.

when you will know how to counter his kick and his imblocable you will how realise is garbage

I totally agree. Even some of the best players screw up sometimes and that one screw up can equal a loss in 4v4 modes with feats if Cent uses his knife throw ability.

Just block his normal light attacks. They are pretty quick. Parry the heavies or interrupt them. They are quick too. You need some practice. Go training mode and fight the Centurion combo until you feel you got the timing.
The unblockable heavy has a good tracking so you should try to interrupt with a light or parry it. The kick has no tracking so you can just dodge it. Same for the punch

[Don't feed the ducks™]

I made a thread on this very issue. I now stomp cents easily. They all do the same combo and it's hilarious to me now when they can't land hits. Here are some tips:

1. Even if you block one of cent's attacks, he can still follow up with an unblockable punch. Just be ready to dodge in any direction even after you block an attack from him. He will more than likely try and punch you.

2. Kicks are extremely easy. Again, just dodge in any direction. Cents will spam these at lower levels of play.

3. DO NOT GET BACKED INTO A CORNER. You cannot win against a cent in this situation. Don't let it happen.

4. His unblockable attacks from the side and top take some time getting used to parrying. Totally easy once you get the timing right.

And that's it. Keep practicing and you're good until you face better cents who can feint into GB and all sorts of ♥♥♥♥. That will piss you off. Good luck <3

Cent is not as nerfed as most people claim.

[HolyFormFJS]

lol cent op memes strong

[atomaweapon]

ic ome to say he is broken. yeah yeah "he easy once you get used to him". i guess so. he's the only character in the game where im like breaking my keyboard. one combo and you are half health and completely out of stamina. i could sort of deal with the combo, but the fact you're completely drained of stamina and wide open for him to rush you again is the most frustrating thing on the planet.
