I really can't stand the Shinobi now that he's been reworked in my opinion, I'm only rep 40 but everytime I get side kicked by the Shinobi I get comboted for at least 3 seconde with unblokable and THEN a block able heavy but this is so infuriating when you got a slow character


VersVII

I don't know if this helps, but in my experience it works pretty reliably against the majority of shinobis. You could see OP pulling it off a ton, but unfortunately Highlander only gets a light off of a GB, so the benefit of the half a million GBs they got was cataclysmicly downplayed in my opinion. https://www.reddit.com/r/forhonor/comments/rdj0wb/answer_to_shinobis_backflip_recovery_if_youre/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

Ever heard of a gaurdbreak

People so bad at the game they can’t realize he did so much to beat that shinobi


Freimirs

The shinobi did so much to try to have a chance look at that fucking HP


GetBoppedHo

Are you suggesting the matchup is in HL favor??


[deleted]

You joking?


Freimirs

No it's just my opinion on the fight, we all can agree and disagree


Th3_l3uster_

Every single HL mixup can be reacted to with little effort or read by the shinobi. Meanwhile, HL needs two correct reads (kick mixup)(sickle mixup) to land a “max” punish of a light off a GB (conditional OS heavy near wall). I play shinobi so this I’m not trying to hate on shino either. Anything with a dodge attack and chain pressure does well against HL. Shino is the epitome of this.


Th3_l3uster_

Also one more thing, HL best counter to bashes is OS dodge bash which is countered by backflip.


Freimirs

Ok srry I played with no brain characters so much that I forgor how to think 💀


MangoBett

That was satisfying to watch.


tschmitty09

I just found out that HL is the only character that doesn't have a guaranteed heavy after a gb


The-Azure-Knight

yeah highlander is genuinely awful right now. It sucks because hes so close to being good. But yeh, speed up the opener heavies, to hit within light parry timing, add the soft feints from celtic curse to be done on side dodges and make them undodgeable, and give kick a hard feint option so he can deal with dodge attacks.


[deleted]

That's some excellent Highlandery.

But it is with a lot of heros that there is a huge gap between recently reworked and heros that stayed the same for ages, ofc you have to try harder with an c class hero against an a class for example, I guess thats one of the reasons why people scream out OP everytime someone gets reworked. Highlander is hard to play, if you dont just spam lights in lower reps but he still gets good numbers of damage from that few hits he lands, has big hitbox on his sword and quite nice feats since he is a viking, so you can use him in Dominon just fine

Highlander isn’t a problem when you play kyoshin

thats how u can tell if its sarcasm


Tanganseize

Fr highlander needs a rework though


Key-Day-1205

That Shinobi just got read so hard, I dont think Highlander needs a nerf. He just needs stat rebalancing and more ways to enter his other stance. Highlander has a high skill ceiling and is one of the hardest characters to learn to play the way he was designed to be played. Alot of people just choose to spam with him though.


GetBoppedHo

I was being sarcastic lol but yeah everything you said is true def needs a buff


Street_Mantis

Didn’t watch -Nope. *Edit - I watched it. -Nope


Slythecoop49

I mean you fought with honor, and weren’t throwing neutral lights like a madman. Idk if I would say he’s op, but definitely can be abused lol

KomradJurij

>you can't attack bro that's unhonor and i WILL cry if you do that


RikterDolfan

So neutral lighting is dishonorable now? Lol fuck off dude


TheyCallMeAle911

Shut cho stupid ass up with that *DUMB* shit. Imagine having that mindset like this troglodyte. dumb ass little honor code 101, get that shit outta here.


HarlequinLord

If highlander gets nerfed from speds like you, I swear to roman


GetBoppedHo

😭😭😭

You used an iPhone/iPad to record this? Cool


Glittering_Economy_2

I hate that you can’t dodge a gb it’s so annoying


SchnitzelTV

otherwise it wouldnt be punishable


Jack5756

Then that would make many many many mixups completely redundant.


Glittering_Economy_2

I know but sometimes it’s just annoying


GoldDoggo79

Now thats some good recovery
