SOHEI IS INSANE! (Sohei Duels) | For Honor

[@pixelguy9504]

And you know what's really crazy? You can get a heavy off of ANY parry.

[@shinigamigaming_yt]

@@pixelguy9504 Yup! It’s so balanced. Can’t wait for the one shot 400ms light from the next hero

[@mr.goochthethird1222]

Bash on heavy parry is dumb, nerf the gb to 2 directions of ur choice, rather than auto all 3. Thats about it, like him otherwise. Fun video

[@shinigamigaming_yt]

@@mr.goochthethird1222 Thank you! And yeah idk how they just thought this was balanced

[@SpawnofReaper]

Zone is the soft faint

[@shinigamigaming_yt]

@@SpawnofReaper I know! What I was trying to say was I feel like the UBs should have a soft feint since he’s very grab reliant

[@Xiu83]

Say hello to old jorm bby, everyone is fucked now xD I cant wait bro, its gonna be hilarious 😂😂 two guard breaks a parry and death.

[@shinigamigaming_yt]

@@Xiu83 4s is a war zone right now. It’s just death simulator 😂

[@Xiu83]

@shinigamigaming_yt those that have played this game for 4+ years can't seem to understand the free win that's been handed to them, it's something they just can't seem to comprehend. His dmg and kit are bad for a reason, because if they were anywhere near the heroes we have in terms of dmg, everyone would be singing a whole different tune xD

(Commenting this before I hear your take in this video if you even talk about it) for honor kinda needed a one shot.. this character is not NEARLY as broken as people say, he’s pretty hard to pick up and play considering he fry’s your muscle memory by not having light heavy or heavy light chains, very few hero’s live with that handicap, and his damage (aside from the one shot) is GARBAGE.. But it deserves to be that way given his big boy move, he’s a walking mind game, you NEED to make sure he doesn’t get souls ever… if he does, that’s a skill issue, gb’s are not hard to see coming, and once he gets those souls you know what he’s gonna do. SO EXPECT IT! Most hero’s in this game can get extremely close to 30+ damage with one move, shohei can’t even get 25 (I’m pretty sure, could be wrong) so by the time he gets his one shot YOU WOULD HAVE DOES TO ANY OTHER HERO IN THIS GAME. So my case is that, he’s not broken, you just need to learn him.

@@boxlunchmeboi4332 I can give some counter points to this. I appreciate the response! 1) This game did NOT need a one shot lol. It doesn’t add to a better gameplay experience. Especially in a gank meta, it just makes everything more frustrating for most players. The only thing that people don’t like is the grab. And the fact that in 4s he can just run around with all souls and do whatever he wants as long as he doesn’t die with them 2) The muscle memory thing won’t exist after a while of playing the character. People will just get used to it. He would have been better off with an actual less gimmick moveset 3) Getting a GB with him is a lot easier than people think. People can expect it but they also have to watch for unblockables. So it’s easy to fall into a trap. Whether it be a GB or a parry into Sohei getting a soul which leads back into his mix 4) Sohei’s zone is 24 damage and his heavies are 23. Granted the heavies are slow and don’t have armor they still hit hard. Only 30+ damage heavies are finisher heavies for the most part 5) The game needed something new if the new thing was thought through extensively. Sohei just feels like a Year 1 character who forgot to show up for work

@@shinigamigaming_yt never am I ever going to discredit someone’s opinion in fact, after reading this, I want to change some of of the things I said. For honor did in fact not need this one shot move. It’s my nostalgia talking when I say the game needed it. Also after putting another rep into him, his damage is not bad at all nowhere near. Is it as trash as I said it was this morning I literally just played seven breach matches and he’s fine with his damage, regarding 4v4’s that shit is insanely annoying, my poor buddy happens to be the target for almost every single sohei we encounter, they’ll just farm souls off of us and then go use the one shot on him and because he’s fairly new to the game and isn’t necessarily the best at it he doesn’t dodge it all the time, in my opinion, I think he’s very well-balanced, duels is a completely different story than it is for dominion or breach, because by the time you get the souls and duels another character would’ve already killed him, but in breach or dominion you get to keep those souls for when the person respawns, I think they could fix that is by adding a timer to the souls for like 30 seconds to 45 seconds, And his guard breaks although they don’t do a whole bunch of damage really gave him access to that move way too fast, I personally can’t think of a way to balance those but other than those few issues I have with him he seems like a fantastic addition to the game.

[@boxlunchmeboi4332]

Also him being able to one shot off heavy parry is just dumb, I’m not gonna defend that, it feels unearned, and I hate it

[@dprii3082]

i genuinely think he’s the worst hero in the game

[@shinigamigaming_yt]

@@dprii3082 how so?

[@dprii3082]

@@shinigamigaming_yt at a competitive level, due to his very limited 2 hit combos off neutral, he lacks so much actually trying to get his souls. yea it’s only 2gbs but then you actually have to try and get your bash. but a smart player will just never let you parry and will be good enough to dodge the slow neutral bash. in 4s he can be very scary though

[@dprii3082]

any half decent player can react to the parry flashes. his ubs are so slow

[@MrValetol]

This new hero is just stupid in duels. 2x GB and its over. Who in their right mind would consider this a healthy gameplay. And he is hard ??? What exactly is hard about him? you can feint the zone to gb with almost no animation and there you go, 3 souls acquired... One more GB and you basically won. People were crying before about shaman doing bite for 35 damage, wtf is this??? Devs have no common sense

[@shadoweevil]

Not really, besides that that’s his only thing he HAS that’s good, everything else in his kit sucks

[@shinigamigaming_yt]

@@MrValetol Yeah I agree it is pretty nonsensical. It’s not hard to get a GB nowadays. And then you can also get this from a heavy parry. Also another oversight is that you can collect souls from officers in breach. So people will be able to run around with all 6 souls very often
