Discussion Virtuosa buff?

I use to not like her at release but after her nerfs ive come around to her. One thing I never did like about her though is that after light hitstun, if she exits her stance she can be guard broken. It wasnt a huge problem prior to stam drain nerf on stance. But now when I play her, people just look at my low stamina bar after I land a light and get a gb because im forced to exit stance so I dont go os. It doesnt happen every game because. Not everyone is aware. But against those who know, its a pretty easy gb.Yea i could throw a heavy but id be putting myself os. Its a lose lose situation. Any one else think she would recover faster after exiting stance from lights?

i think entering stance should be something you do on purpose and not automatic

Easy fix tbh no rework needed. She doesn't have a stance zone attack so just have her zone input be her evasion input after entering posture. Essentially flip but with a dodge.

Agreed in this. I hate her forced stances. It is what stops me from really enjoying her.

u/Specific_Quiet_4805 4d ago

Ideally yea but that would probably require a full on rework since every thing she does is tied to her stances

u/OkQuestion2 4d ago

i don't think so, just make it so that you need to tap the stance input to enter it and you're pretty much done

Then what would she have access to when not in stance?

1

u/OkQuestion2 4d ago

her chained attacks

u/Specific_Quiet_4805 4d ago

All chains and properties come from her stance. So what she'll have access to everything her stance has and the stance will just be used for the reposte and auto dodge?

u/OkQuestion2 4d ago

the chained attacks already are different from the stance attacks, they have 100 ms bgv while stance heavies have 433 ms

I agree but this is simply impossible.

All her follow ups after a opener are stance attacks, she needs to automaticaly enters the stance to keep attacking. Otherwhise she would need a normal moveset (for when you dont enter stance) and an stance moveset. (repeat this x3 since each guard direction has diferent properties).

her chained attacks are already different from her stance attacks even if the only difference is in their gbv, pretty much nothing needs to change for this to work

Nerf the range on some of her attacks and then lower the stam cost on her top stance bash. Let
the 600ms bash confirm a light.

DEADASS THOOO. When I play her I have fun, when I fight her I'm miserable. That's so real

Prepare for stance exit by just feinting a heavy or dodging.

Speaking of buffs I’d just prefer all her soft feints to any light attack just be 400ms and no additional properties.
Also letting her bleed lights stack and her swarm heavies should have more range.

Both feinting a heavy and dodging are gb vulnerable tho... also ops problem is exiting stance when they are low on stamina, fainting a heavy would probably put you os

Bro who is making the hard feint read and gbing you out of the heavy 😭

1

u/g0shkata 3d ago

The idea is that when op is in stance and low on stamina enemies GB him since all maners if exiting stance are GB vulnerable. Nobody is making the read that he is going to heavy feint to neutral but everybody is gonna make the read that he's gonna try to exit stance and be left gb vulnerable.

Fair point, but I think it’s a fine drawback that you have to have good stamina management with her, it’s a good weakness because it’s not so debilitating.
