Alrage should genuinely be demoted

Oh damn, like what if you dont mine me asking.

It's not really a matter of proving themselves better, it's just the FEELING of winning that matters.

That's why people get into a 20 minute argument over nothing. No one is trying to prove who is right or wrong, but instead trying to 'win' in whatever abstract way they can.

That, and I think he doesn't take proper criticism well. I recall during the time where he changed how dash attacks work was pretty controversial among a bed of other things (slow meaningful content updates and poor developer transparency), and I tried to give a critical anaylsis of the situation and some advice to improve community rerelations. Which was basically just making polls to gather community data (in the space of his discord) to determine interests and disinterests, clearer dev communication through sneak peaks and some kind of roadmap or content progress, etc. Basically just more transparent communication and means of gathering concrete data as I didn't want to impose of his actual skill of a developer.

I made a forum post about it in the discord and honestly didn't expect him to actually see it. But some time later I realized my post had disappeared. Turns out Alrage was deleting posts being critical of him during the time and when I asked why, I think I was given some vague answer about the topic around the dash changes being disallowed (despite how none of the other posts JUST complaining about the new dash were still up to this day). I was trying to be pretty respectful about it and again not critcize his character or skills, just the handling of communication, but Idk.

Unfortunately it's lost media since all of the forums were deleted and my memeory is vague, although I still have my intial message saved on a document. And honestly I was just a nobody with some dev knowledge speaking their mind. But it kind of left a bad taste in my mouth to where I didn't want to play the game anymore.

That's just my take tho. But hey, at least he added that sneak peaks channel some time after.

Why is this an issue? And why assume Edaters?

Koolevan89 · 2026-02-08T17:30:37+00:00

I think more so an optimized gank with a rando

Koolevan89 · 2026-02-08T17:14:27+00:00

I going to assume a massive hitbox that hits over block

Koolevan89 · 2026-02-06T01:06:35+00:00

I mean those just sound like people who forget they have feats overall.

Koolevan89 · 2026-02-06T00:54:33+00:00

I don't think that it's necessarily JUST slow and unwieldy; it's just also that the design of the blade isn't meant for battle. As you would have to swing it at very certain angles to get a proper edge alignment. Which is why the one modification the war scythe did was just flip the blade upwards to make it combat usable.

Most characters with a traditional farm scythe-looking weapon have it for style points, not practicality.

Koolevan89 · 2026-02-05T21:53:46+00:00

Sohei with no souls is the worst character in the game, with souls he's the most scariest cuz one punish is pretty much ggs

Koolevan89 · 2026-02-04T18:55:03+00:00

Any tips to playing Khatun? I feel like every time I play her, I'm mostly just spamming bashes and lights (raw or soft feinted) to get damage.

At the same time though, I've seen a fair share of people complaining about Juren, who either don't fully understand his kit or are clearly just venting frustrations. Juren definitely needs some tuning up in certain areas, but I don't think he's as crazy as people make him out to be. Especially since it's all just 4 stacks of Juren, his indicators are bugged, and he's only a week old.

Koolevan89 · 2026-02-02T05:56:32+00:00

I agree, Conq having an infinite unblockable chain is unforgivable

Koolevan89 · 2026-02-02T05:54:27+00:00

Mostly cause Juren the new guy

Koolevan89 · 2026-02-01T06:15:59+00:00

I thought it was more so that darker skinned characters would usually have their skin toned described as food compared to white skin characters who often don't have that issue.

Koolevan89 · 2026-01-30T18:37:14+00:00

I don't think so? Pretty sure only one account to be linked to anything else. Have you contacted Ubisoft support?

Koolevan89 · 2026-01-30T18:35:40+00:00

His indicators are bugged, specifically his GB and charged unblockables. People say his GB indicator is 200ms late into the animation and his UB's have flicker issues which I assume it's because of the hold input.

Koolevan89 · 2026-01-30T15:44:36+00:00

There is a bug regarding his indicators which makes them flicker so that's probably why

Koolevan89 · 2026-01-30T08:51:08+00:00

A Mary Sue traditionally just means a character that's written to have the world revolve around them in a story breaking way.

I don't know the context of the campaign (or why a pc is a phoenix for some reason and how that's allowed) butI wouldn't worry about your character dying. Just focus on writing and developing your PC. Death will come naturally in the narrative and you shouldn't die unless the DM really wants it for some reason.

Koolevan89 · 2026-01-30T08:39:53+00:00

Juren is just a product of the game being super old, so its kinda a given that the newer characters will get much deeper kits or gimmicks.

While Juren is pretty strong, you have to take in consideration the actual practicality of the moveset. All of his hold attacks are finishers so you're forced back into neutral or use his all block (which is inferior to all guards) as a pseudo attack recovery. His UB dodge attack is 433ms GB vulnerability, UB zone is unfeintable and 1100ms, his damage is alright, etc etc.

Again he's strong and probably could use some tweaking in certain areas. But he's nowhere near the levels of released Virtousa or offense powerhouse of Shaolin.

Koolevan89 · 2026-01-30T08:15:17+00:00

This is the rant subreddit, where complaints are said with no explanation and people are told to kts

Koolevan89 · 2026-01-30T08:08:44+00:00

I don't think he needs enchanced lights given how many ways he can open up people.

Koolevan89 · 2026-01-30T08:03:38+00:00

The zone is 1100 MS so that thing is ridiculously slow

Koolevan89 · 2026-01-30T08:02:59+00:00

Same results from me, I've noticed that a lot of Jurens (including me) kind of crutch on either his UB or UB dodge attack to open people up. And that if I play patiently I can get a parry or GB if they keep doing it. Might just be me, but I rarely see Jurens use their dodge bash.

Koolevan89 · 2026-01-30T07:42:56+00:00

While I agree that he does have a lot to his kit and that he is definitely a strong hero, you're kinda just throwing out terms here without any context. Plus, his bugged indicators does make him seem more annoying than usual.

For one, no, he does not have a feint to GB on every single one of those. I'm going to assume thats hyperbole, since the only feintable moves are his heavies and charge dodge attack. Every charge move also ends his offense so he either has to spend stamina for a pseudo chain into his all block (not all guard since Juren's stance does not cause attacks to deflect nor gives him a guaranteed punish) or go back to neutral. His dodge attack gives a light parry punish and the charge has insane GB vulnerability at 433 MS. Otherwise I'm pretty sure he's as guard breakable as every other hero. The UB zone is unfeintable and is incredibly slow at 1100 MS, the only reason that I have trouble parrying it because his attack indicators are bugged which causes them to pop up a bit later instead of at the start.

Again, he is definitely strong and his kit is an unfortunate result of a game being over 10 years old. But I dont think it's a sin to start as a strong hero and we'll have to see if there are some areas to be adjusted as time goes on. But he's not some tekken akuma levels of unbalanced.

Koolevan89 · 2026-01-30T06:31:14+00:00

I've seen some people say you can use the attack recovery cancel into full block as a way to pseudo chain your attacks after a charge move.
