Light spam

[Dank Matter]

Are these people dying and on chemo or something? Do they need rep fast?

Ubi should implement a system that punishes spamming attacks. For example every consecutive light eats more and more stam etc.

Light attacks already cost more stamina then heavy attacks. There are lots of disadvantages for light attacks.

Every light light chain can be dodged out of, therefore punishable with a dodge attack or even sometimes with a gb (hitokiri's light finisher for example) Parry a light rewards you with a heavy opener which deals lots of damage and at the same time let's you get into your chain. If you can't parry them there are still some ways to punish light spam. Some of them are character specific and some of them are universal. I'll give some examples for you so you can at least counter these players. Aramusha can block blockade light chains, every hero with a dodge attack can dodge attack light attack etc.

Lights are already pretty easy to avoid and furher more nerfs to them would make light attack useless in every level of gameplay. They're already mostly useless in high levels so I don't think we need anymore nerfs to them.

It's a case of having reflexes or playing a cheese character like Aramusha who can just press a button to block whatever and get a free hit.

If you can't block/parry with reflexes, play a cheese character. Aramusha, Shyokin and Conqueror come to mind although they are likely others.

Warlord and Valkyrie don't quite count as they have a set up time and can't be pressed for immediate protection. Otherwise they can be useful here.

every full block has a windup, not just warlord and valk

They did implement a system to punish light spammers, it's called parrying.

So since the game came out, all the way up to the last time I played about a year ago, Orochi's light attacks literally moved faster than even someone with the reflexes of a cat could process. It was impossible to react to them before the attack would land, they were that fast. The only way to block them was to already be aiming the way the orochi was by pure luck.

Orochi wasn't the only offender, but was the worst of the bunch. Practically all assassins (as well as some Hybrids such as the Nobuchi) had light attacks that were almost impossible to react to, if not an outright impossibility. So unless you're telling me their light attacks got slowed down significantly, there is literally no such thing as blocking or parrying light attacks from a "light" character unless you're aiming the same way they are by pure luck.

unless you have some sorta disability, handicap, or 2000ms reflexes, then there isn't much of an excuse. every character has the same speed lights now aswell. "light" characters have the same light attack speed as "heavy" characters

what game are you talking about?

Why not just block?

Son, if you got issues with that stuff, sorry but youre in the wrong game.

Times where FH was somewhat brain/skill based are long over.

There was also a time that we had a hero who could get GBs just by blocking so keep that in mind lmao.
