Hopefully we can agree on 1 faction, and stick to it. I'd like us all to be working towards the same goals.

Alternatively, from what I've seen, we have mostly Knights people, and Viking people. If we end up splitting, maybe we can agree on only deploying attacking stuff against the samurai. Sort of work together?

I would prefer that we were all on the same team, tho. So vote in the poll, and lets stick to what the results say!

Of course the consensus would end up being to fight the samurai. I'LL FIGHT ALL OF YOU
I'm really really enjoying the Orochi and Nobushi. I'll just deploy my assets toward whichever faction you all don't care about as much. I also probably won't end up playing often because of other obligations.

Unless you put your vote into knights or samurai, Ducke. you could decide for us.

Yes I'm double posting. I finished uploading some clips of me not getting trashed

Made a short montage of some good moments.
Spoiler: show


Recorded 5 matches against the same player. I lost the first match 0-3, and by the final match I won 3-0.

Ducke, that character you were using during the final few matches has given me the most trouble as a Peacekeeper/maker. Sidestepping attacks, followed by a flurry of your own attacks would work well against me, because i'd be torn between parrying and dodging, often doing neither. Or i'd get caught dodging in the wrong direction. Also, always be ready to parry high, if you think you're out of measure. That jumping lunge got you numerous times. by the end, you started avoiding it. But its probably the most likely way a peacemaker will start a fight. The particular person you were fighting didn't know that after he hit that attack, he could immediately do an unblockable light attack that deals bleed damage. So you gotta make sure that that attack doesn't hit you, or it could hurt a lot. Any heavy attack that hits can be followed by an unblockable light with bleed, so that includes the side thrusts he did against you a couple times. Also, the move your character does where you stun people is a good one. I'm not too sure what to do against it, yet.

All in all helpful commentary and insight.

Yeah, I noticed that the sidestep attacks work really well. The character has a lot of potential

It messed me up so badly the first few matches. Being ready for that when fighting the Peacemaker (as you suggested) is definitely something I've got to work on.

I would also say actually just work on your parry timing too. Assassins don't have too much stamina so if you can parry one or two of their attacks that can drain them and then you can guard break and throw them to the ground for free attacks.

Downloading the Beta this morning. I am undecided on Knight or Viking. But I think Viking fits me better. Sorry Cri.

The beta is finished now unfortunately Monkey =[ the game came out last night.

Now that the game is out Knights are in the lead so I guess that's our chosen faction (at least for the first season/until we decide to change). I'll have to edit the emblem guide because the Knight shield is smaller and isn't round so I have to shrink our logo so it fits.

What the feck?! Knights were winning earlier today -_- Ok are we going by the poll now? Should I close it? I can switch now and it doesn't matter because I haven't played any multiplayer yet.

So how many of you have for honor or plan on getting it because right now I am undecided on whether or not to buy it, I had fun playing the beta but this is a game I wouldn't play alone.
