I never thought of that, good shout, going to try that tonight

PK vs Highlander is a nightmare match up. Went in training arena with lvl 3 ai highlander and the way this bot dog walked me over and over. The hyperarmour tanking through all PKs openers. And HLs light spam is faster than PKs light opener so can’t interrupt without dodge or parry. Although I’m blaming part on the fact that AI don’t bite on feints for shit

I actually spoke about this in the guide but the recording got corrupted, I thought I'd leave it open as a question in case people weren't that arsed. Essentially, you are spot on, hyper armour is PKs weakness and its not just the AI unfortunately. Most players recognise this weakness and play into it heavily. Its my biggest issue with hyper armour, because it basically rewards a player for parrying early by trading damage, usually in their favour. Hito, Highlander, Jorm, Shugo, Zerker basically all play this trading style, which I think is cool, fun and makes sense. However, almost every character in the game, not just the heavies or the hyper armour niche playstyle guys I've listed there, have some form of hyper armour now. You don't really notice it until you play something like PK, who lacks it, and let me tell you, you will f*cking notice it 😂 Another gripe of mine that you mentioned is the fast un-reactable light openers on characters like JJ and Highlander being faster than someone like PK. I think it was a lazy fix for a character light highlander and it really bothers me that a fat old man like JJ is supposedly faster than PK, and also hitting harder (This is why the marching fire DLC made me fall out of love with the game) My response and tips to these match ups tends to be either: - Play aggressive against hyper armour players, especially if they are bad at blocking, prevents them getting into the hyper armour in the first place. - Play defensive against light spammers like highlander players, don't try to parry, just block, literally stare at the reticule and block. This will then force them to try something else or drop their stamina so they have to rest and you can go on the offensive. - Consider not using the guaranteed poke finisher after a heavy, this will allow you to parry any follow ups from someone like highlander, who gets hyper armour after a dodge attack. I would also recommend baiting out as much as you can the highlanders and hyper armour heroes with their dodge attacks. Most of them have dodge attacks which they will use when they are either panicking or frustrated, you can easily bait them out by applying pressure (As i talked about at the start of the vid) or by being cagey and defensive. They are easy to parry and it basically shuts them down as a spammer. Remember, never get annoyed at a light spammer or any spammer. They are bad players for doing it, but you are just as bad for falling for it every time. Learn to adapt and shut down their spam and they have nothing. Hope this is useful for you brother, or to any others who might be scrolling through comments 🙂

As a new PK main who just picked her up when they announced the Ezio hero skin (literally unlocked her for 500 steel & started learning lol) I'd say her speed & recovery cancels into dodge are her best weapons against hyper armour heroes.

​@thereal_ce0172 "Consider not using the guaranteed poke finisher after a heavy, this will allow you to parry any follow-ups from someone like highlander, who gets hyper armor after a dodge attack." Is her dodge cancel not fast enough to avoid or deflect the follow-up?

@thereal_ce0172

Ай бұрын

Her dodge cancel is very quick hence her fast dodge recovery, so against someone like highlander or Mejay with their delayed heavies it can sometimes be too quick and you end up getting tracked by the attack anyway. Its an option but its very circumstantial. What I said there is more the safe option.

Late comment I know but PK isn't really that bad in group fights as long as you don't stay the main focus of the enemies. Her dagger cancel is a really good gank weapon, as it's essentially a feint that does bleed AND is super fast. If you heavy from the side and dagger cancel they cant possibly block/parry unless your teammate gave them a parry before you. You can also do quick damage to multiple enemies focused on other teammates with the dash and lunge attack. Not a fan of the dodge feint though because if you dodge to the side you threw the heavy to do the dodge attack, they'll parry anyways and if you dodge away from it, they hit you with the heavy that they're already going to be putting out automatically. that last part hurts even more if they have hyper armor. I also 100% agree with Stealth being a must because as you're third partying a group battle, they have no clue you're running up on them. It also feels good to hide behind a corner in OBJ and guard breaking as they walk past, or run up behind them and do it

Yeah she is decent, especially with the right perks. She really just needs enhanced dodge on her dodge attack. It's crazy to me that it doesn't have it. I know many want a bash, and that would be nice, but honestly she doesn't need it. She has a ton of pressure with her soft feints and the 2nd best deflect behind zerker.

Oy mate your timing couldnt be more perfekt ! Got recently like you back to the game and started playing her and also really enjoying her ! ^^ Nice to learn her more in depth playstiles :) Btw i recommend for your next video to make yourself louder and the game more silent.

Its definitely the only fighting game out there of its like, unique and original in that aspect. So addictive too 😂

1 max punish you missed is gb near a wall. If you get the gb and are close enough to get a wall splat, you do 2 stabs, then throw them into the wall, then dodge forward heavy, then poke.its a total of 41 damage and its guaranteed.I virtually never seen anyone do this, it does use a ton of stam so maybe thats why, but its normally worth it. There is a way to sometimes get the standard heavy instead of the dodge bringing the total to 49 damage, but it's kind of wonky like you showed. I mean you basically demo them, you just didn't do the 2 stabs first. - I saw you used it when showing the dagger cancel combo it just wasn't specifically shown in the max punish section just to clarify.

Yeah man, I totally get it. A big part of the reason I left the game ages ago was because of the in balance between the original heroes and the new ones that you could pay to unlock. hyper armour is our big weakness and not even our deflect cancels it. So against those heroes I wouldn't be scared, I'd go as aggressive as possible, keep them on the back foot and prevent them from actually getting into their hyper armour. Also, dodge but don't do the dodge attack. get into that habit. In fact, try dodge guard breaking, because pk has such a quick dodge recovery we can actually get off a guard break as people finish their chains really easily. This also works for those people with a bash because often they feint the bash to try and parry our very easy to ready dodge attack. So if you change from dodge attacking to dodge and guard break you might actually catch some of those bashers as they pre-emptively try to parry your dodge attack. Hope this helps, keep up the grind, and remember that she is not good in 4v4s unless its in lots of isolated 1v1s or, in a team fight so long as she isn't the main focus of attention. Ideally if you do a team fight you want to be on the edge of it, jump in, attack, get out again etc. Hope to see you in the game at some point 💪
