I want to add something to the hitboxes and why I called them weird. That was specifically in regards to the light finishers. If you manage to "whiff", meaning not hit the guy you're locked on to, the hitbox is actually quite alright. But at the same time, the lights have extreme forward tracking. This threw me off a lot while testing. But I definitely agree with you that his heavy finisher hitboxes are extremely poor!

So weird hearing noglas voice but seeing a different face xD. Great video bro!

Excellent review. I honestly feel the same about him though I do enjoy some leeway with playing on console. Still, I would say Ubi went the smart way with a Hero that is not overtuned, might get less hate from the low level players and thus is more likely to get some buffs that put him in a good place. The other scenario, nerfing a hero into ground after too much tears have been shed ... I like it's prospect less.

I wish they would have made his ordinary attacks do fire damage rather than physical so that at least his third feat wouldn't feel that situational. In any case, great video!

I think, yes, his hitboxes should be fixed. Some things they could do to give him more pressure is enhanced lights? I would like to see crushing counter (unblockable) attacks on deflected attacks bc they’re useless half the time rn. I also think he should be able to cancel his recovery faster, more like the way nobushi can because that was supposed to be this characters gimmick and it feels so so slow when I’m going from light to dodge attack to dodge attack etc. The character just feels clunky to play, which is weird because he looks so fluid. But every time I want to do something, it feels very delayed. Other characters with similar moves do not take so long to actually do what I want them to do. Take the forward dodge light for instance. On zhanhu, there is quite the delay when you input it to when he actually attacks. But on kensei, I don’t feel this delay like I do For zhanhu. And the same can be said for all his dodge attacks. Also, some hyper armor right at the end of his heavies would do wonders bc they are so slow rn that you can light them on reaction and interrupt it.

•His zone should be Omni directional left and right •A neutral opening bash like Tiandis palm strike would be nice •Of course hit box changes •His lights don’t bounce of after being blocked so he can continue his attack chain. Same goes for his light dash attack.

honestly you're the best fh KZreadr

With glasses, you look like you should edit for Pewdiepie. Not that it's a bad thing. But I'm hoping to get my hands on him and seeing how he feels in 4s. I feel like duels will be a blast to have new blood in it, but I'm really curious ab po ut team fighting with him

So I’ve been playing as Zhanhu or Sun Da, whichever... I’ve been missing from the game for almost a month and a half so I’m rusty, spent the first rep playing against A.I dominion, now I’ve been playing the new breach event against players As “Sun Da” I now more than ever struggle against Highlanders and Kenseis, myself being a former Kensei main My biggest problem with the new hero is his dodge, I would call it pathetic! Too many times have I been clipped by wide attacks whilst dodging thinking I’m safe! And now have to consider timings as dodging too early with him is a thing, where as with Kensei it’s dodge and forget He’s dodge is more akin to raiders little shuffle(stun tap) than it is to Kenseis dodge heavy 90 degree side step! He has good mixups and flows pretty well, but struggle to understand why he is so slow to get going In regards to hit boxes, yeah they’re pretty bad, noticed that heavies tend to connect more if I throw them from the left side as the right ones tend to just fly over an opponents head Overall, he has potential and in my opinion more viable than Jorm, but BP is still the best thing to come out this year! Considering Hitokiri is now nerfed

What easy changes do you think could make him much stronger ?

Oh, and he's got a dodge attack with no special properties and what seems to be bad range and tracking. Uhhhh. Way worse than Jorm actually. Jorm is usable.

Vulkan He'stan I think he meant in terms of how the character has a more varied playstyle and better animations. And this character has waaaaaaay better mixup potential than Jorm. Jorm either has a light into stam punch, stam punch for neutral or feint a heavy into stam punch, and that’s literally it, it’s boring With Sun Da you can do a lot more such as mix his dodges into his unblockables or cancel them into a zone, guard break, or zone into guard break, unblockable feint into dodge attack into single light etc there’s loads more combos plus a deflect

Real shame about his hitboxes, I was hoping to watch some 4s tourneys with him...

The hero is familiar to you Craic. Well done Ubi

sun da needs a dodge cancel, faster recoveries, a longer chain than light heavy light light or heavy light, the superior dodge bock should be replaced with a deflect with 2 options, low damage big pushback and higher damage that can be feinted / avoided.

A character that can actually open people up without a Hitokiri or black prior styled moveset? Sign me up! (But seriously, this character seems like he’s actually kind of fair as opposed to the previous characters, not including Jorm.)

Looks like Craic 11/10

People are already starting to catch on. I don't dare to use that dodge attack anymore since it's a 5050 for me too. So half the times I'm dealing 14 whole points of damage and the other half I'm eating 30-40dmg. Really not worth the risk. The hero also has problems anti-ganking because people standing around you already know from which direction to block the zone. The zone being 600ms makes it a free parry in general, even on console. In my experience trying to use the zone when getting ganked just gets you parried and pinballed to death. Furthermore players back up when you get revenge, and you don't have any good tools to chase em down. The forward dodge light and heavy are always top, so it's an easy block. They also don't have a lot of range. It has happened to me frequently when people start losing they unlock and sprint away and there isn't anything I can do to catch them. The sprinting heavy has virtually no extra forward momentum to catch people. I'm about to hit rep 7 on this hero, but I do hope he gets some tweaks.

Zero Craic reviews Zero craic, all jokes aside I can’t wait to play the character and see how he works in competitive play.

I really don't get why I'd ever use his finisher light. It seems very slow and easy to react to, even Highlanders normal lights seem faster. And getting parried will guarantee the opponent a lot more damage then you can do with it. Why use the lights when you can just use the unblockable heavies which either guarantee a lot of damage, a guardbreak or at least a heavy parry.

Oh, it's because I believe top attacks should be same as the sides in most cases for damage and instead of offering them a use through better damage, they should have much more range than sides (as sides get the benefit of hitting people you are not locked on to with those horizontal hitboxes). This would be very useful in teamfights where someone is out of range of sides but your target swap top attack may hit them. I've not mentioned this publicly before so good question!

Raider got absolutely fuck3d in the 4ss. He was really overnerfed to shit. His initial heavy damage was nerfed for no reason. They say it was because they did too much dmg when they caught you in a team fight but that's bullsh1t. If you are hit by raw heavies on a team fight then you're just bad. It weakens his parry punishes which do less than kensei which makes no sense. Raider's side heavy does less than kensei which makes no sense at all. The removal of stunning tap is just lazy and overdone. They stunning tap made him more offensive and gave him his mixups. Now he's gonna be a turtle again but even worse. If they aren't going to do anything else to him than he'll drop back down to c tier at best. I'd rather have pre rework raider. If he is going to keep stunning tap as storming tap than he should get back his initial heavy damage and make his zone 45 instead of 44. If his damage won't be changed then he should get his stunning tap back but with a shorter stun. If they don't do either of those than raider will just end up as a worse version of kensei. Rip raider.

That's what happens when a bunch of bandwagon riders pick up a character after a rework makes them stronger. They abused the shit out of his tap, people got frustrated with it, hence the nerfs.

You're right though, they shouldn't have completly removed the stun property from his tap, lowering the stun time would have been better.
