Great video! Very helpful. It's interesting to hear you say that you haven't seen many. In Dominion, I haven't seen the 4 on 4 Hitokiri gank squads of the first few days, but almost every match I've been in since Monday has had at least one. I like having one in the game, it changes situational awareness in group fights.

[@ddangho914]

Good to know that the sweep follow up isn't safe. I always learn something new from your videos. Your videos really deserve more likes.

[@mongrelshadow14]

I think her lack of people flocking to her is due to her kit design. It's basically a counter attacker (which we know is a design that doesn't work,) but tried to be able to be offensive. She needs some small adjustments for sure. But the two big things that I think would make her kit feel a lot better and more interesting is if her kick had the range to hit back dodges and her zone was a chain starter. Her lack of an overall gimmick also harms the interest of other players. If you think about it black prior is pretty basic. But it's how his kit that works together along side his gimmick of bullwark counter that makes him interesting. I'm personally fine with no gimmick. I just wish her kit felt a bit better.

[@booniegaming2098]

Lack of players flocking to her?? Heck i fight 4 Hitokiris dang near every match on Xbox.

[@SeeDatJabrony923]

There are also some mix ups to this, you can feint the kick into guard break and you can get a free heavy then you can play with your opponent with mind games by either kicking, charging your kick but not into sweep, or kick into guard break.

Why is hitokiris heavys only do 30 when raiders do 40? Like you think that big axe would do some damage. Maybe because her heavy chains?

Well one has a shit ton of momentum and the other is her sorta gliding it on the enemy. Only the unblockables have any real momentum.

[@Maccddady32]

I noticed within the first 10 minutes playing this hero that his/her guard break throw is assssssssss

[@HoboHunterRik]

I think Hito is fun just a little underpowered. I recommend either being able to fient the kick somehow or just speed it up making the 50/50 more effective. Also recommend a soft fient into guardbreak with her heavies for a little extra mix up potential. Her startup lights aren't terrible but not great either but her damage is so high I'm not really against her not having a good opener.

[@wyvern5890]

... You already can feint the kick

[@WilliamShakspere]

Would you ever consider doing videos on defense against certain characters? Similar to this series, but for instance how to avoid Hitokiri's kick (I've heard its back dodge + roll if it turns into sweep.) It's really hard to find info on how to defend against characters and I see a lot of people falling for easily avoidable stuff

[@wyvern5890]

[@deez8382]

[@ZaBrowski]

On side/back throw u can try heavy followed by a kick, then heavy. The animation looks bugged but the kick still hits even if it looks like it was dodges

[@frankjurotich4422]

Also on a forward throw or any parry you can do a light followed by heavy > kick > heavy for 78 damage this is OOS btw

[@Vinnik94]

@@frankjurotich4422 The kick it's not guaranteed, it's guaranteed only against the bots, who dodge too early and in the wrong direction. Against bot you have forward throw -> heavy -> right heavy -> kick -> heavy.

[@Ticketingworm6]

Can you go an update to black priors bash recovery? I tried testing punishes with a bot but everyone knows bots aren’t the most reliable for testing and also there was this weird thing with guard direction that i couldn’t figure out

[@Excalibur-je5pk]

From what I see, raider can, kenseis can, shaman can, conquerer can, and Warden can but only if you change up the bash timings

One question (sorry, I don't have a discord account) : If you do the light into charged heavy punish, and fail to kill your opponent, is it safe or not?

[@ivee3705]

When i tested it, it was unsafe to gb but safe to attacks.

[@Zurgash]

great vid as always bud

[@Zanfinkle]

Thank you for the video!

[@thequietman9820]

I've only tried this on lvl 3 bots in practice, but I think you could get a heavy off a heavy parry. It doesn't work sometimes, but it works more than it doesn't. Basically when you get a side heavy parry you throw a top heavy. Parry a top heavy throw out a side heavy. Can you look into this with a real person to confirm this? Pretty please!? And sorry for people who find her annoying already 🤷

The Samurai faction has only 3 good heroes, the rest is just garbage that need to be reworked/improved or removed (like the gay ass Shinobi). Only good heroes are; 1. Kensei 2. Shugoki 3. Hitokiri The rest are just garbage; 1. Aramusha 2. Nobushi 3. Lightrochi 4. Gaynobi PS. The new hero is QUITE STRONG.

[@radioactivesdesigns3554]

Is it possible to parry deflects if the deflect was on a teammate? I know you can parry crushing counters and superior block attacks off of external enemies/teammates. But is this possible for deflects as well?

[@himlolo]

[@iantamez9560]

Rip to Hitos super armor

[@jcloudy8508]

Does damage reduction stack? Say does the armor perk Bastion's 10% damage reduction stack with Hittokiri's perk Spirit Shroud and its damage reduction???

[@fkkfreeze]

no it doesn't only the highest reduction is applied, all lower ones are ignored.

[@oblivionfan345Tony]

I thought the OOS punish was light, heavy, kick, heavy Is that not guaranteed?

[@ninjasuikai]

Not necessarily. It's hard to explain, but it seems to have a specific dodge window that the opponent can use to avoid the kick. If you set a lvl 3 bot to dodge only in the training arena it seems to be guaranteed, and I believe it's because they try to dodge at the earliest possible time which gets them caught. It definitely works a lot of the time, but I've had people avoid the kick on wakeup. I feel like it's a toss up, as I doubt a lot of players actually *know* the timing to dodge it, it just sort of happens.

[@oblivionfan345Tony]

@@ninjasuikai huh interesting, I mean I guess I'll keep trying it lol

[@ivee3705]

I actually got a bug where after a oos throw the second heavy of the punish did only 10dmg because i slightly delayed it i think. Some weird things goin on with her like sometimes armor on gb?

[@TheKampfmaschine]

The kick seems to hit consistently for me on side dodging enemies, not sure about back dodges though

[@KingNirada]

SwiggitySwooty it can be dodged on back dodge. You can double heavy into a kick on side dodge. Assassins can dodge the kick with a side dodge to their left but will be hit by the kick after two heavies if they dodge to their right. You can also use that kick for mind games after the 2 heavies a sweep will catch the back dodge if they're still OOS and unable to roll you can also delay the kick on assassins to catch them if they dodge to their left. It's all pretty janky but extra dmg if you pull it off

[@sinanince3304]

That's because shes just simply put a bad character. Sure she has hyper armor on 2 moves and can charge her heavy but other than that, her kick mixup is completely reactable and there's no reason to play her at all. Orochi has a better kit then her For fuck sake. Why does Black Prior get a shield bash that is less reactable and cant be punished? Why does Lawbringer get a shove that cant be punished? Why does Highlander get a kick/grab mixup that works and that guarantees 40 dmg, and Hitokiri doesn't even get a proper 50/50 that would guarantee 30 dmg.

[@Excalibur-je5pk]

First of all, both vortigers and lawbringers shoves are hilariously slow and only guarantee a light. Sakura's kick is feintable and also guarantees a 30 damage heavy. It is a 50/50 the same way wardens shoulder bash is.

[@sinanince3304]

@@Excalibur-je5pk That's where you're wrong. Even if they are slow they take near to no stamina and theyre still unreactable. It doesn't make sense.
