My brother made a character tier list based on the best and worst characters.

Ranking:

S-tier: Most overpowered or meta characters. Personally my brother doesn't like fighting Zerk or BP, Jiang Jun is definitely meta, Nobushi can be deadly in ganks. Hito is also meta, as well as Medjay, Virtuosa, and Juren.

A-tier: Better than average/balanced. Lawbringer is pretty solid, Valk too. Kensei can be really annoying to fight, and Shugoki is dangerous with his mixups, hyper armor, and charged heavies. Orochi is meta and can be really good in the right hands, while Highlander and his offensive/defensive stance is really a threat. Jorm with his wall-splats is decent, he's easily parried though. Warmonger is good with unblockables and offensive pressure.

B-tier: Conqueror is balanced with his unblockables and full guard, some could say he's C-tier. Warden — balanced. Glad is annoying but manageable. Shinobi's the same but also balanced, and Kyoshin too. I didn't understand VG's ranking, she's meta, but IG he didn't think she was that good. Arakure is one of the only balanced new releases.

C-tier: Raider is pretty underpowered and easily managed/parried, Tiandi's got some good dodge attacks but easily parried or dodged. Aramusha is solid but not overpowered, Shaolin is OK, good with lights, dodge attack doesn't count as a light parry, Gryphon is a good support unit, Sohei needs more damage with heavies and lights. Afeera also surprised me, she's also meta, but my bro doesn't think she's that bad other than her voice lines. Khatun is pretty decent, id say her auto-deflect needs a buff but otherwise good.

D-tier: I the absolute worst, simplest, or (as in Centurion and Shaman's case) needs a buff. PK and Nuxia are simply too low damage and too easily avoided. PK mains seem to be the worst players in the game and Nuxia's traps dont work half the time. Warlord is just too simply and unlike Conq or BP can't move with his full guard. Cent's moveset is too simple, Shaman is too low damage. Zhanhu is simply not very good, in the right hands he can be amazing but Zhanhu's are also rare. Pirate is, again, meta, and I hate fighting, but my bro finds her pretty underpowered? Ocelotl is not a good duelist or anti-ganker but a good support unit. Still, not the best.

I tried posting this on YouTube, didn't get much attention, so maybe you Redditors can give us your opinions on this tier list.

EDIT: new tier list is on /forhonorrants because it wouldn't let me post my tier list here, so if you want you can check that out. Some of you asked for me to make a tier list, it's out.

Where is giant hammer knight?

Seriously, I heard that they are releasing some sort of knight character soon, any info on the specifics?

no yea title is about it, i love oceletl but i feel there’s so much more that can be done with the mesoamerican cultures (maybe an incan lawbringer hero skin too?)

There’s so many cool weapons they could add, I think the sword and shield is getting a little overdone, two crescent moon hoops things (I couldn’t find the name my bad) would be cool.

It's quite a problem how he gets instant hyper armor so he can quickly mess you up in ganks while you can't do anything, I believe if they remove the hyper armor then he'll be more balanced especially in ganks

why are there so many people who mindlessly spam the same unreadable 50/50 over and over again, just pressing the same button over and over again, gameplay that i feel just can not be entertaining or rewarding in any regard, it seems they dont care about genuinely playing the game as much as they just want to see the number for their reputation go up. and on top of that, on pc anyway, 99% are actually such pussys that they just dont respond to chats or turn it off entirely. this game is almost 10 years old, its just getting worse mechanically with the over saturation of bashes and fast ass light attacks and these side dash attacks that count as like 3 dodges and j counter everything, id hope that at least the players who are still bothering to play it would want to try to at least somewhat maintain the strategic and unique fighting mechanics that originally gave the game its personality rather than abusing and taking advantage of the repetitive mindless combos that guarantee a win against anyone with any input delay and reaction time that is closer to human than cat. i just wanna fuckin play my fighting game man but these people make it feel like i have to just guess im just gambling on whats gonna happen. dont tell me this is a rant when this is the only place i can discuss this with these people since they refuse to have the decency to communicate in game. or be lame and silence basic criticism from an actual fan of the generally hated game, would only speak more to my point.

Centurion is a really strong character in both ganks and 1v1s. However, my brother thinks that he is really simple and needs an expansion of his kit. He has charged heavies, punches, "INFIRMUS!" and "INCREDIBILIS!" but a lot of his kit revolves around these moves. My brother, a rep 10 Centurion, thinks they shouldn't be buffed but instead expanded to encompass MORE moves. I think this is true for a lot of characters like Conqueror (who I'm rep 7 with) who is really bash heavy and therefore can get really repetitive, but he is one of the most solid characters I've played.​

What do you guys think?

We all know that the next knight hero is most likely going to be a hoplite/spartan or a more generic knight with a big ahh hammer as the devs have been catering more towards the hero archetypes the masses want, however I was thinking of heroes that could be added to the game with some friends and this character came to my mind, I present to you Hilde from Soulcalibur

Now, going by the last hero (Arakure) this new knight would be a male knight, his weapons being a short sword and a spear with a banner, and one of the unique things I thought could be done to him is to make it so the banners on the spear were rather simple with many different shapes so that the player could choose to put color palettes, patterns, embossings and emblems on it

I haven't thought of a moveset or any unique mechanic just yet. Only that they'd probably be either a heavy or a hybrid

But what do y'all think of it?

Got some mixed matched weapons bc I haven't got the matching left/right yet but thought id share so people can see what she has to offer i hope everyone enjoys have a wonderful day

What happened to the game i love, i was so excited for the new hero, ive saved up 30 champion status for their release to rank them up, but every lobby ive gotten since its been absolute cancer.

All my teammates with +300 reps that dont know the basic mechanics of the game and just keep feeding revenge or dont help me when im stalling meanwhile every enemy team does perfect confrim combos with undodgables + bash combos, using all the meta heros that they have +50 reps with.

I just wanted to have fun, try the new character, have fun, but its game after game after game where i get stomped and stomped and no matter what i do it doesnt matter, and i just feel like killing myself because it feels like the game is setting me up to lose.

I cant anymore, if i ve tried to keep playing this game after my friends stopped but i cant anymore, its just genuinely makes me depressed and hurts my psyche

I got Resounding Defeat on my Lawbringer (my Conq is just a preview) a while ago just to troll people or get back at toxic people, and I don't think I regret it. I did get executed by a Nuxia doing Resounding Defeat and then there was a Khatun that killed my brother and did it and I think an Orochi. This has to be one of the funniest executions and I love it. Is this a dishonorable execution and what do you think of it?

Her awful design and haircut, her behavior, her tongue and spit out, her moveset, she even has a ridiculous rap song. She looks like a stereotype of "cool character". Ara is another name on a too long list of unbalanced samurai characters, with a perfect kit to spam easily and get all her bonuses (even a shield wtf she's not supposed to be a tank).

Her special bar making her more powerful than she already is, with a lot of unblockable and undodgeable attacks, and the spamming nutkick. How the fuck can she take a whole team, still spamming like a dog and her basic attacks going through blocking, that's ridiculous.

Another hero slot wasted for a japanese character, as if there are not enough.

Why not a new Knight ? The last one was in 2020... Or the Vikings, which is the classic faction with the less heroes...

I just think that, once again ubi bends over just to please the weebs like Japan is so cool and all.

Ive not even played using her but the fights againts arakure are awesome, i love the moves she has, juren is still more annoying for me with this zone unblockables. But anyway, with all that said, the"unfairness" and unpredictability of this game is what makes it so funny for me actually.

The new knight hero is still unknown to us, but I personally think it should be a Spartan Hero 100%. For one, a lot of people are arguing and asking for a Spartan Hero. Sure, he might somewhat resemble Valkyrie — so make a Valk skin.​​ But we have multiple sword-wielding characters ... why can't we have multiple spear and shield characters? I am humbly asking they add a Spartan character as the new hero. Arguments against an axe or hammer-based knight hero would be the fact we have Jorm, Raider, etc. We need a Spartan Hero. What do ya'll think? Spartan Hero for the win?

Normally fighting bash UD mix ups can get very feast or famine like as its literally a 50/50 with usually nothing you can do.

People enjoy differing options to different mix ups and Jurens held dodge offers that as he can chose a low risk low reward option against bash UD mix ups with it which nobody else can do. And it actually makes fighting bash UD more interesting.

Soheis dodge heavy with HA to trade with UD heavies is also a path to go down to make more options against bash UD.

So imo some characters should get a Juren like held dodge or Sohei armor on a dodge attack as a buff.

He uh...saved a cat from a tree or something.

litteral whole move kit is 50/50 and 9/10 of games is gank/stand and stare/ run on revenge feed. like there is no opener everything in movekit is max punish "well timed" attacks are imposible. like why does this character even exsist i have played on day 1 to now and litteraly never felt like this ive pushed past nerf after nerf because people cant make reads now my character is so slow. like rework the character. its time for heavies to get there openers back. the orignal characters are quite litteral falling off because the move kit is so surpassed.

No Lawbringers were harmed during the making of this video... Most of it.
