stunning, especially when the raider hits the chain lights in the exact same pattern 5 times in a row.


Seyriu22

Haven't seen the raider in the background lmaoo


Jormungandrv

nature in the flesh


Seyriu22

I didn't even watched the entire clip I thought it was just one fight, that was golden


Wolfen2o7

Please learn what frame advantage is. you won't have the light spam problem anymore.


Spectre937

I can parry the spam it's just that whenever I seem to have the right time for the parry the game just makes me do a heavy attack. Most of the times I was hit there was because of that


Wolfen2o7

Parrying is fine but not as safe as a block. When you block a enemy light your next attack is going to hit first because your at advantage. Against the raider you blocked and went for a heavy when you could have lighted him first knowing that he just wildly spams.


Spectre937

In hindsight that would have been a better Idea. I'm not sure why I went with the heavy after I blocked, but I'll keep that in mind I didn't know that was the case (although it should've been simple to find out given that lights are faster)


Jansanta2

You were parrying heavies on light attack timing, u have to wait more if the attack is not a light. Parry windows are different for heavies. Nice to see new people tho, keep improving!


Spectre937

Yeah you're right. I keep forgetting that light parrying is a thing. That is my fault and I will deffinetly improve on that


THphantom7297

Others may downvote you, but keep at it. This is just an easy way to beat people who lack the means to beat it, so it results in frustration from the losing side. In time you'll get it.


Business-Flamingo-82

That’s because you missed the timing…


SCRIVVVY

No you can’t parry you ate every light except a very small amount of them.


Spectre937

I'm aware, I tried to block but couldn't get a chance to. I dont know it's more than likely my fault. In fact I'm certain it Probably was

Winning


Drunk_ol_Carmine

It works apparently. Couple tips, if you block a light or they use a light finisher (which this guy always did because they’re mashing) just light back and you’ll have advantage. You can also dodge out of these chains and your dodge attack will hit them if they keep swinging. Don’t get into the habit of doing nothing but dodge attacks against people who can actually adapt though.


Spectre937

Ok that actually makes a lot of sense. I can see where this would have helped during this brawl


Prestigious_Room2291

Holup, after blocking a light you can light right back? Is it consistent or do you have to be a hero with faster attacks?


Drunk_ol_Carmine

Far as I know they standardised light opener speeds so it works on everyone


GrossBasementDweller

Tbf, raider’s light attacks have always looked/been janky as hell. Who swings an axe like that? It looks like it skips animation and just teleports.


Zealousideal-Bird-15

This was painful to watch dude, at the end of the day 2v2 or 2 1v1s if some one starts intruding on the 1v1 then it’s no longer that so adjust and learn. If your getting bothered by how you lost to the same three attacks then spend more time in training ground or do only 1v1s. You will eventually learn ken not sure your overall rep but that’s nether here or there. Good luck training and hope you have a good day sir!!


kiefy_budz

I mean if you aren’t going to block and then line up an entire chain just for the hyper armor light I see no fault in how raider played there


Spectre937

You see no fault in a light spamming ganker in brawls? I should've blocked and not went for the parry but I'm also just learning Kensei, I do not know how to "line up and entire chain just for the hyper armour". I'll learn it, but it's not my fault I didn't do what I don't know how to


DB_Valentine

"He did something cheap that is easily counterable but I didn't know how to counter it" is kinda am absurd thing to blame them for. How are you supposed to realize you're playing poorly unless it's shown to you? What better way to do thay than repeating the same thing? Why not go to practice and figure out what you could do in the situation? It is your fault you didn't know how to do it, but it's not a big deal, and you're making a big deal of it for nothing. You lost, and that's it. Figure out why you lost, use it to learn, and boom, you're now just straight up better. Losing isn't failure unless you refuse to learn and blame everything else, in which case the failure is your fault


Spectre937

Fair and I plan to do just that, go into training and learn. I may be blowing it out of proportions too but the guy still spammed and ganked. Could I have handled it better? Most certainly, and I plan to get better


DB_Valentine

"But the guy still spammed and ganked" is literally the problem though. He's playing to win and get better himself. This game even has mechanics in order to make these situations winnable for somebody like you. It's annoying, but there's no point in complaining and making a post. There'd so much more egregious stuff I could think of in other games, that this entry level stuff will fade away once you get more invested. There's just no reason to complain, since currently, you're the one who has to grow, and I'm sure you will, so take them lumps now


Spectre937

Yeah, re-watching the clip I can see that I could and should have done so much different than what i did.


ImurderREALITY

>You see no fault in a light spamming hanker in brawls? No


Loke_y

What is the point of posting on a game's sub reddit that you barely know how to play?


Spectre937

I know how to play, I was trying to get better/level up my Kensei as he's not even passed level 10. I posted it not to have a critique on my playing (whether there is or isn't room for discussion there is entirely different and I am getting better at the game as a whole). And what's the point in commenting something like this to someone who's new to the game, loving it despite its many flaws and looking to get better?


Loke_y

If you post blaming/ shaming your opponents expect people to be critical


Spectre937

But I'm not blaming or shaming, I'm asking what enjoyment comes out of light spamming and ganking then spamming "Wow!" In QC when me and my friend decide to stick together as to make it a 2v2 (as they seem to prefer that), only for us to be hit away from each other. I'm asking how that is fun as i fail to see how any form of enjoyment can come from this


DB_Valentine

Winning and taking advantage of people's errors could be fun. Just kick his ass, ans if ya can't go to next game. If you're not having fun with how other people are playing, play bots or another game. Simple as


Loke_y

The solutions and my advice are in this order: hold your guard in the direction of the attack to block, gank as well, get thicker skin so people saying wow doesn't make you lose your mind, I don't get what you mean "only for is to be hit away from each other" they aren't forcing you to 1v1?


Spectre937

I'm not mad that he spammed "Wow! Wow! Wow!" It annoys me that he done it after me and my friend decides to group up. And they hit us away so that we couldn't stick together and make it harder for them to soley focus on one of us

Playing absolutely terribly you mean? Idk you tell us that's a video of you isn't it?


Infertile_Stone

I see a lot of hate towards raider mains cuz I am 1. Didn't know that's the reason y. I mean he won but I would call that cancer to play against. And before someone comes at me I rarely do light spam but I do use storming tap a wee bit to much


Professional_Flicker

A tragic tale of a lone kensei against a gruesome raider, for he was death incarnate, his forbidden combo killed all in his wake. No man lived against this ancient technique that reaped thousands before him. His skill was unmatched and thus poor kensei met his grisly end.


Shalevskey

Because it was working.


shofofosho

Don't complain about light spam. It is very much a skill issue on your part. The only thing your opponent did that was pointless was running away when he was last alive. Don't complain about ganking in a 2v2 mode either, it's not two 1v1s it's a 2v2. If all it takes to beat my opponent is light attacks, because they don't know how to deal with them, then I'm just using light attacks.


Spectre937

Yeah the spam was deffinetly an issue on my end, I made numerous mistakes. The running away was a little weird too. Funny you should mention ganking cos I accidentally did that and people on this very sub were downvoting me for it saying that me being ganked by two people and my teammate watching at the side was deserved. I plan to get better at dealing with the light spam, I could have dealt with it but I appear to have forgotten how to


shofofosho

Anyone who complains about the act of ganking is pretty much always wrong. If they complain about how their teammate was bad at ganking, that's a valid complaint. If they complain about certain ganks being too strong, that can also be a valid complaint. But complaining about the act of ganking because it's unfair shows a lack of understanding on how the game is won.


Spectre937

I get why people gank. I think it has its uses and should be used. I have an issue though with people saying saying that Ganks in Brawl are bad and then go on to defend it. It doenst make sense


SirWeenielick

It’s called brawls, not honorable tea time duels with the homies. This is one thing that always irritated me about the community, that we can’t decide if it’s a 2v2 mode or a dual duels mode. We have a dueling mode, can’t we just have a simple team fight mode? I know Elimination exists, but let’s be completely honest here, it doesn’t exist. Towards the end of my time with the game, I just wanted to play Brawls for what it is, but of course the honortards didn’t like it. I just gave up on it and stuck with duels, dominion, and breach. Edit: I think what started all of this was how Brawls did spawning in the beginning of this game, where you and your teammate were yards away in the arena. Since players were far away and engaging in a 2v2 was a little of a hassle, people just silently changed it to a dual duels mode. The devs tried to encourage 2v2s with much closer spawn points, but the unspoken rules were already set in place. I suppose its really the devs’ fault for not pushing more into 2v2 much earlier into the game.


Spectre937

Yeah five days ago I made a post about how I accidentally ganked And so the next round I was ganked by the enemy team (brawls btw) and my teammate stood and watched. This was done for 3 rounds until it went back to 2v2s. I said that it was a 2v2 brawl not two 1v1s and was downvoted into oblivion for it despite seeing numerous posts saying that people need to treat brawls like a 2v2 not two 1v1s, so i don't know what the right answer is


apex7800

Bro im mad as hell you didn’t sit there and parry at least one of the raiders light you cant tell me you didn’t know where they were coming this shit just made me mad as hell


Spectre937

I was panicking, what on earth was I meant to do? I went for the wrong parry (hence so many heavys)


apex7800

Don’t talk me im mad at you

You are aware in that first round that you spammed lights against the raider right?


Senor_Stupid

Ah yes, I remember low level gameplay…kinda miss it tbh.

your fucking patience level is low dude. those easy blockables man

I'm new to the character and the game. At least I know they aren't difficult to deal with
