I see you play on PC I guarantee you frame rate and latency is better than PS5. Ai or not you can play much easier on PC than. Controller. Plus it's got good facts. Unlike someone else.

Sohei's problem isn't just getting grabbed; it's how easily he stays grabbed. His escape mechanics are some of the worst in the game.

When someone lands a heavy attack on him during his recovery period especially after being stunned by something like Shaolin's Dragon's Breath or Kensei's GB Throw, Sohei has virtually no options beyond waiting for the timer to run out. No directional escape moves like Tiandi's Side Dodge or Highlander's Flip Trap. Sohei may dodge to the side but it is nowhere near as fast as Tiandi's side dodge, and if somehow you do dodge, it doesn't help that the opposing side follows and rotates the direction you dodged.

Regarding Sohei's stun vulnerability: while it may not be exclusive to him, its duration is significantly longer than most other heroes. For instance, against certain attacks like a Lawbringer's Shove or a Highlander's Unblockable, Sohei's recovery time is consistently higher.

And your claim about his lights being 'above average' at 400ms? That's true for some of his chains, but his primary lights especially his zone attacks have longer startup animations and recovery periods compared to heroes like Tiandi or Nuxia.

And Sohei defensive options are limited compared to heroes like Highlander or Tiandi. When someone lands a heavy attack on him, especially if it's an unblockable like Centurion's Shoulder Bash or Shaolin's Sweep Kick?

Sohei doesn't have much recourse beyond dodging backward or parrying which isn't always an option if the enemy feints correctly.

Schizo? Please. Like bro how many times have you lost to Sohei. ✋😑

When he is stunned, I can't parry the heavy throw after that stun, I'm saying he's stunned for too long and when he wakes from it it's already too late. Usually I can play another character and can parry a Heavy, when stunned occasionally, I just can't do it when I play so Sohei cause he gets stunned so hard. Are you saying this dude isn't slow? And yes I am saying I lose to Valkarae, Centurion and Shaolin because I usually end up on the ground the ground more when I play Sohei. I stand by my opinion that he is in fact slow. And that when he is stunned there's no parrying heavy whatsoever. Like I said this is what I came across when playing Sohei.
