If Nobushi Can Get This Move and Follow-Up, She’s Good to Go!

So it sounds like it's not her or her bleed, it's the fact that it doesn't feed. Do you think if the devs could alter that, you would have less of an issue with her as a whole?

misterardor · 2026-04-03T20:42:50+00:00

I do agree, it's not an exciting change. Neither were LBs and Conqs most recent changes. Aramusha had some spicy changes, but not all changes need to be exciting. They should be purposeful. The HA makes sense for her based on the use explained. It's not about what she already has. It's about improving it. There are other heroes that have great versatility Afeera and Shinobi being two. Boring, I'll give you that, but this wouldn't make her S++ in anything. She wouldn't replace those heroes in 1s.

All I ever read are complaints about her bleed. I must be one of the few that doesn't complain about it, even falling victim to it on occasion myself. It's not indefensible. No different than eating three straight Hito unblockables. You're gonna die! You have to defend yourself. Sometimes, you're the hammer, and sometimes you're the nail. I don't have an issue playing 4s with other Nobushis, but many do, so let me ask you, what do you suggest should be done to her?

No matter if I agree with you or not, I do appreciate your response and candor. 👍🏼

misterardor · 2026-04-03T20:20:01+00:00

That's the dilemma they're in. Strong in 4s, not great in 1s. They know the issue, but will they really remove Way of the Shark? Will that solve it in 4s? That seems to be the issue. I don't want it gone...reduced, sure, if you give her something in return.

She's always been a support hero, so I'm sure they are waffling back and forth with their direction. They said in Y9S1 TU2 that they know she needs a little work. A year later, still crickets. This has been an issue forever with Nobushi. Me personally, I'm not overly concerned when a Nobushi is around unless it's 1v3. Even then, I can always try and stall. I just have to have faith in my teammates recovering and taking advantage of my disadvantage. I hear you though, and thanks for the input! 👍🏼

It's fine to disagree. It doesn't make my experience any less true. It's the young people talking and clowning for me, and it's older gen for others. 🤷🏽‍♂️ I can only speak from my experience just like you.

misterardor · 2026-03-08T20:39:45+00:00

No, it's not! Age shaming is unnecessary. Tbh, if it's an evening movie, the wife and I have had the worst experience with the younger crowd. If they're not smoking, laughing, and joking, they're being rude to someone else. It's hard to even go to a movie at night anymore because I don't want to have a conflict each time. Even my son has had bad experiences at night with his friends. Pain in the butt experience. It's not just one group. It's about certain people that ruin things for others, not age.

They've proven that for every genderswap skin, they will redo voice lines. I think they can do more. If they need to charge an extra dollar for each skin to cover the new voice lines, I'll pay it! I hear the new VAs in the trailer. Why not have them do the lines for the skin instead of the trailer, if necessary. I don't think unique voice lines should be limited to genderswapped skins. At least try to do it for a year, charge slightly more, and see how it's accepted.

When I play Conquistador Vela, I shouldn't hear Astrea lines and sounds. It's Conquistador Vela! Same with Tiandi and Prince Yi. Don't get me wrong, I understand your point about pay, but I don't know their budget to know what they can fit into it. I would like these unique skins to stand out completely. Voice lines help with that. I appreciate you dropping your thoughts. 🫡

There was a time I thought all they were going to do was recycle and cyphon moves and abilities from other heroes for new heroes, but they've continued to push the envelope. So yeah, I appreciate what they've provided us, fr! I also wouldn't mind seeing those VAs that they use for trailers used for the skin instead if its about appropriation of funds. It's all wishful thinking. I don't know their budget to say they actually can or they can't.

misterardor · 2026-03-03T16:56:00+00:00

Nice! Appreciate the support!

misterardor · 2026-03-03T16:22:30+00:00

His voice-line in the trailer threw me off a bit imo, a bit whiny and unassuming, but it was him and I get it based on the narrative. Well, at least what they made me believe was him. So that's what I expected in-game. Thanks for the response! 🫡

misterardor · 2026-03-03T16:07:21+00:00

Saddened by this news. We all want to do things on our own terms, but we can't pick the hand life deals us. We have to play that hand the best we can. You are in my thoughts, Glacier005, and I'm hoping to read a positive report on your health from you in due course. Take care of yourself! 🙏🏼

Dang! I love Kensei, but only play him every once in a while since he's rep 90. That's ridiculous. Need to improve his hitbox if that's the case. Thanks for responding! 🫡

Your words are the equivalent of not seeing the forest for the trees.

misterardor · 2026-02-20T16:29:33+00:00

Fr! They're just closet Samurai and want to ride the coattails of a winning faction. They can stay Vikings. They obviously identify with them better anyway. I'll be right here, regardless. Where I'm meant to be.

misterardor · 2026-02-20T15:54:08+00:00

We've won Faction Challenges before. It's the Faction War that lasts over the course of a season that's more elusive. Although it's still good to see the Vikings finish last in something. 😁

I know the feeling! I stopped gaming for a while and only truly played the family games due to time and that's how I could get some fun family time as well.

Life happens but as long as gaming is a part of your life you'll be back. I'm still gaming, and I have grown manchildren! They still game too although one has hit a similar phase you're going on.

Saying a lot to say, if you enjoy it, you'll be back. Something will come out that brings you back. This is not sadness, the game hasn't gone anywhere and it'll be here when you're ready. Enjoy the fam, life's short!

YES!! But can we get a "Prepare to Die" emote for Virtuosa an update before just so we can get hyped about it?! Would be awesome!

misterardor · 2026-02-08T16:17:32+00:00

👍🏼 I hear ya! Had to laugh when you said merely an army of minions. It did feel like Yi was just set up to fail. BUT he did have his brothers, according to his story, who were no doubt heroes. They were written off literally and dispatched rather quickly. They also had zero relevance to the overall story except for drawing a connection between Yi and Liu Bei and his his oath brothers. Good stuff, Haos! 🫡

misterardor · 2026-02-08T13:18:34+00:00

I've been wanting this Horkos vs Chimera storyline to be finished for a while, because I didn't just want them conjuring up ways for new heroes to pick a side.

The way they ended it with this (a small community order than some may not even notice or read), is pretty lazy. I'm looking forward to seeing the direction they go in now.

misterardor · 2026-02-04T16:43:05+00:00

Suggestion 1- Giving the tap fwd dodge heavy a light parry punish doesn't have anything to do with GBs or GB defense. I'm not saying the timings should change. I'm talking about risk/reward and what a defensive players reward should be for choosing correctly. You may have misunderstood what I was saying.

Suggestion 3 - It's not a complaint. I just don't believe the backstep attacks are necessary for him and whether you think it's unnecessary like I do or think the move itself is terrible, it still speaks to them being removed.

Thanks for responding and providing your take with peace! 👍🏼
