Love that Stagger is removed but Jesus Vader can only have 8 swings Grievous has 5. Make them one hit for all Troops including Heavy. It's a Laser Sword that cuts through metal, like it isn't a pool noodle.
Let's try to adjust to the update first (change tactics with every character) and then we'll see what needs tweaking. As an example for Vader, maybe try deflecting bolts a little more for kills since he has great blaster deflecting stamina etc.
@@nightwing17239 You have a point. Still, the highest about of swings are Maul, Dooku, and Kylo at 14. With Vader's buff he can do two more melee attacks than them.
As ive said before. We need to be able to hold attack to do a heavy attack that breaks guard Edit: And a parry if you time your block perfectly. Things like this is what lightsaber combat needs
@@SyndicateAllTheWay yeah because those are all the spammers having to adjust to the new system. Trust me you will eventually find someone either as skilled or better than you in the future.
You mean like the way it was already done in 2003 with Jedi Academy. All DICE had to do was just look at that game and do the same thing with some refinements.
Dice needs to add a 1v1 SABER game mode, similar to how For Honor has a 1x1, 2x2, and a 4x4 (altho their 4x4 is more like capture the flag) Edit: Another thought, you could choose from any Hero/Villain rather than being limited so its not so 1 sided
I think it’d be best for the current game mode (Hero Showdown) to be flexible and have the option for 1v1 and 2v2 as well as first round sabers second blasters and third any
For honor has four 4v4 modes. Elimination, Deathmatch, Tribute and Dominion. And I agree, perhaps Elimination, Dual and Brawl from For Honor would be great! And ”parries” should be a thing, if you block the second they attack you make the stagger and open for attacks!
I’ve only been playing the game for a week or so and I can already tell this system is so much better! I genuinely had an epic duel in heroes vs villains for the first time because we were both outplaying each other
Agree this combat system is trash. We need parrys to stop the attack of the oponent so you can deal with more than 1. For the moment this system is made for spammers.
Simply hold block, dodge or use an ability (claw rush) to get away when your stamina is low, and wait for an opportunity. I've won a few 2v1s already this update with Grievous, can't speak for all the other characters.
So like the system they just took away but instead of being staggered at every swing you only get staggered when it's a perfectly timed block and are left open to at least one saber attack. I agree with this. Like they could easily do that the animations and everything are there.
Nice work! 🎉 Dodge is very import but every time you do a quick dodge from enemy atack you left behind your "image" and the enemy can attack you anyway, sometimes you are even dragged back... they need to fix this because it's a nightmare in HVV.
Mr.Taills Yeah trying to avoid multiple heroes is borderline impossible now since the hit detection is so off.. I receive damage 6-8 feet away at times plus 3v1 = immediate death by gang bang. Hvv feels awful with randoms but overall 1v1 encounters are vastly improved
oh yeah, the hit detection is awful, try jumping over attacks, it gets ridiculous when a lightsaber hits you about 8 feet away while you're in midair and they swing on the ground smh
A blaster vs lightsaber video would be great, I find that, contrary to what you would think, the best way to kill jedi is in close quarters combat by rolling through their sabre strikes, they often mash and end up exposing their backs for a second or two. I find that the flametrooper is great for this
THANK YOU! I needed this! It was so confusing, this video helps me make heads and tails of the combat and its a life saver. Thank you so so much. Please do more vids like this. With the game going on discounts so much new players like me will need up to date info.
I love how they made the count, in lore he had the lightest light saber and unmatched skills in saber fighting making him the most feared 1v1 fighter there was until he was ultimately beaten by Vader, personally he was and always will be my favorite for the simple fact he never succumbed to the darkside while still being a complete boss even against the greatest fighters like windu and even yoda
Honestly Anakin is very OP now in Hvv/showdown. All of his abilities can knock you down, then with a couple swings, you are down half health or more if the player combos all the ability s
iiDeath_ReaperX The best way to go against Anakin is to bait his pull ability then look for openings when he’s dodging or jumping. His passionate strike is easy to avoid but heroic night is tricky.
Who else was expecting a more stylish blocking animation? I was hoping it would be more fluent and smooth but they just hold it in one place. Also lol, when luke kicks the lightsaber it doesnt chop his foot off but its funny to imaging
So I was playing capital supremacy and as Yoda I dodged forward when to avoid darth mauls spin attack but I ran straight into it and it BLOCKED darth mauls spin attack you should do a mythbusters episode on it
I guess stamina reduce skills are useful now since you can block all enemy attack until they run out of stamina, then you can finish them off with your leftover stamina.
Remember when u play as Dooku use ur lightning stun then duelist laser them while they are knocked wait for the abilities to recharge repeat the process and it’s an easy dub
Yes! We need more videos like this! I am a good player but I don't have a ton of time to sort out all the changes and this really gives me a heads up. Would also be nice to know how the stamina cards change things as I have never used them always feeling like it was a bit of a waste of a card. The good news for me is that this change lends towards my play style. I am more of a dodge/striker and not a spam blocker/attacker. Looks like it is best to use a balance of all options available (abilities, dodge, limited strike and limited attack), so I will keep that in mind.
I just recently discovered you and think your videos are pretty good. I love the aesthetic of how you do some of your guides and love how you present the numerical information in heroes and villains guides. I've started to see a slow growth in your channel since just recently discovering you and I believe it will grow if you continue to put out this good of content.
Seriously dude when I ise him I'm not worried one bit I can charge against 3 heroes and destroy them all go on huge killstreaks and without that much effort I have not played a HvV match without anakin he is in every match sometimes even 2 of them wtf
It would be great if they spend time on the blocking where the blocks match where the strikes are going. It would make the fluidity just like the movies!
Also what I noticed from this new stamina system Kylo Ren has received an indirect buff because he easily has the highest attack stamina and his frenzy doesn’t drain stamina. KYLO ALL POWERFUL 💯💯
This change helps a lot as a blaster main, knowing saber heroes can't spam saber strikes and stun-lock you is really nice. Makes my Phasma/Boba/Han/Leia/Iden/Lando gameplay a lot easier.
YES PLEASE! Idk if it’s just because I’m so used to the old lightsaber combat but, every lightsaber hero/villain is no longer blocked (knocked down) by the enemies block. Also you can keep attacking until your stamina goes down, like general grievous and yoda
Despite anakin being OP (which i dont mind at all) i think there are ways around him. Ive beaten him in a 1v1 nearly every time ive come across him as grievous.
Me and my friend play hero showdown all the time and my 3 light side characters are obi wan, anakin, and sometimes Rey and sometimes han His are Yoda luke and sometimes han and sometimes lando For dark side for me its Vader dooku and sometimes palpatine and sometimes grevious For him its kylo ren Darth maul and sometimes boba fett and sometimes captain phasma Is there someone that we arent using that you guys would reccomend?
The amount of stamina he loses after each swing isn't quite a lot, which is a little descent. But considering he has limited stamina now and not being able to block is just messed up by DICE...
I played with maul a lot, you wont have a problem with his stamina he can attack for an insanely long time and 1 dash strike or jump nd its all back so I doubt you'll even notice it
I absolutely hate that you can't attack with depleted stamina. You should still be able to attack once your stamina runs out, but face some penalties such as: *Deal less damage *Stagger when hitting a blocking hero *when attacking an blocking Hero with no stamina, the blocker's Stamina cost when blocking is reduced
I don't play HvV, because it's arguably the worst game mode ever invented. This video is about saber combat, not about getting buttfucked in a 4v1 because you're teammates are off on their own 😂
This is an AMAZING VIDEO! Thank you for the tips! Can you make a video to try to get Dice’s attention to make it possible to clash during saber combat?
I also find that alot of hero players have the same tactics on certain maps, like how lukes will always try to push you off edges, and your opponents think you will be the same too, so youve gotta try be unpredictable
I am not really sure about this changes, and yesterday i tried hvV for a very long time and i feel many things need to be tweaked, some blaster heroes now are very very powerful and can one vs one saber heroes (like han) rei is dangerously good, kylo in my mind lost a lot, maul lost a real lot of power, anakin is way too strong and lvl 4 star card anakin 3 shots a hero from behinf with 2 strikes and a passionate and That's just way too much damage in an unblockable combo...grivious lost quite a bit especially with the stamina drain starcard...He runs out of stamina way too fast! I tried it extensively in arcade and even against troopers one person with a blaster can shred through your stamina without even overheating...they should have balanced more the heroes around the changes in my opinion
@@astashasta1 yes they changed all the stamina values for blaster deflections and in tandem with stamina changes to avoid blockspam you can now deflect much much less, they compensated giving more damage when attacking from behind
@@CA-yn4iw usually i struggle against heroes with troopers but since the update i have seen heroes melting like butter against regular troopers XD oh and the new infiltrators ? That shit is meant to rekt heroes ahaha i have seen a dooku (purple cards ) beeing kited to death by a single arc terooper, it drains stamina like a horny girlfriend...or boyfriend...up to taste ahhahaha
Awesome advice. I know the battle system is not super complex but I enjoy the high quality thinking you’ve put into it. “Impressive...most impressive.” Vader - Empire Strikes Back
"Combat takes more skill" 10 seconds later* "One hit guarantees another and the opponent cannot block it no matter of they press the button or not" Sounds like skill to me
1:45 it's not who Initiates always runs out of stamina but in fact all heros and villains have different stamina values. So Vader can block more than luke but luke can swing more than vader
Finally someone mentioned how important and crucial dodges are in saver combat. Dodging behind a blocking opponent and attack them in the back is the only way I know of to counter block spammers. I feel like players shouldn’t be able to dodge if they’re blocking though.
vfxdud3 yeah instead of infinite stamina he just gains extra stamina, 50% I believe, It’s not really a nerf They did it for Rey too which is good makes her less of an annoyance on the Battlefront
It ruined the game for me. I would play so well with him sometimes beating Anakin 1 on 1 even though Anakin edged him in power now he's far below Anakin
Shouldn't there be someone on the dark side that matches Anakins brute strength? Vader was close to that now they made him nerfed him to the point where I can't even take on 2 at the same time anymore without him gassing like McGregor
Anakin is even stronger now because he has 4 abilities that knock you down. Even just Passionate Strike gives him 3 or more free hits because the hit detection and block registration allows him to get an extra hit even though you block
Not that anyone cares but i feel like the combat system still isnt great. Far from it. It really needs something else because it really seems like you can block no matter what. The dodges dont help that much
Where can I find a good sensitivity for saber combat I change and change my sensitivity but can't find a good balance between hero's and soldier comabt
My tip would be to use your star cards carefully. For example rey running charge ability is too open for someone such as grievous. It's better to use it to throw your enemy off guard than having charge in front of them. When you use two star cards save one of them for bigger opportunity later on
@SammyBoiii what do you think about DICE/EA bringing back the saber-locks from BF1..? imagine the mechanics update to whereas if two heroes are at full stamina & that first initial “leap” attack they do, will initiate a saber-lock if both players attack simultaneously. then i guess it would go into maybe who can tap the button faster to determine who wins the lock - which then an animation follows shortly after resulting in the loser being either knocked down or take damage.. ..or how would you suggest it would/could/should work ??
Step 1: be on the light side.
Step 2: pick anakin.
Step 3 instantly win any 1v1
Teri no i destroy anakin with anyone but maul
@@larkisahhh6902 lies, show me proof of you 1v1-ing a good anakin player with phasma.
Teri phasma can easily 1v1 anakin dude
^pretty much, somehow they made him even more op and then nerfed rey, maul, and myself for some reason they deemed necessary
You still have to at least know what your doing because
The other day I took on Anakin and Obi-Wan on Geonosis, With Maul
Love that Stagger is removed but Jesus Vader can only have 8 swings Grievous has 5. Make them one hit for all Troops including Heavy. It's a Laser Sword that cuts through metal, like it isn't a pool noodle.
Yes please dice listen to this man
Let's try to adjust to the update first (change tactics with every character) and then we'll see what needs tweaking. As an example for Vader, maybe try deflecting bolts a little more for kills since he has great blaster deflecting stamina etc.
They did that deliberately for Darth Vader because of his Focused Rage, which allows him to swing 16 times if it's active
@@Bloodwing-zx9ri Yeah but Dice apparently hasn't even seen Rogue One
@@nightwing17239 You have a point. Still, the highest about of swings are Maul, Dooku, and Kylo at 14. With Vader's buff he can do two more melee attacks than them.

@@SyndicateAllTheWay yeah because those are all the spammers having to adjust to the new system. Trust me you will eventually find someone either as skilled or better than you in the future.
Breaking guards is gay
I hope after a while they change the sabers to actually move a little more when blocking to make it seem like they are clashing sabers
Same
The animations are already there for the blaster deflection
@Champagne Kenobi I have a plan

What, its a good trick.
If they used the blaster blocking animations for the saber blocking animations, it would be the closest thing to cinematic looking battles we ever had
I was think the same thing!
Check out the game jedi academy its insane
Jedi Knight II and Jedi Academy did it already way back in the early 2000s. DICE is simply playing catch-up to Ravensoft.
@@Hylanvahr no matter how great those games are id like it with the new good looking models
Why do y’all hate dice so much😂 literally the best graphics I’ve ever seen
One thing I hate is the blocking lightsaber animation!
Yah the lightsaber should change position when u get hit while blocking
L Shadow177 even Wii Sports Resort changing blocking animations lol.
At least, I would like to enjoy working block, after every duel the block is taking stamina, but no animation or blocking damage.
R0YA1 GUARD ye all they need to do is use the blaster block animation on the saber block animation and den it’s beautiful
At least we don't fucking stagger no more
Dice needs to add a 1v1 SABER game mode, similar to how For Honor has a 1x1, 2x2, and a 4x4 (altho their 4x4 is more like capture the flag)
Edit: Another thought, you could choose from any Hero/Villain rather than being limited so its not so 1 sided
no, there need saber/blaster only mode.
I'd like a movie duel mode but it'd never work

They do it is in arcade though

@Lord Venom you are trash and have no skill
I guess no one picked anakin. HvV is so broken.
It'd be a looottt easier to win at lightsaber battles if the block wasn't broken every 5 minutes
Dude They fixed it with this update
Prob cause u spammed it
i played a lot of hours and never had it happen. it's definitely wayyyy less frequent if at all
jwivan28 are you sure it was a glitch or you were just out of stamina cause they made it so you can’t block or attack when you run out of stamina

Saber clashes would not work in this game. If it did happen someone is getting lit up
@@diknmuhbutt2735 Make them invincible while clashing.
They had saberclashes in ea battlefront 1 idk why they took it out in this one
It might be good to add a stagger if you time the block right (like a parry but you will have to attack yourself)
That's something they really should add, I agree. Adds more of a skill barrier, if you're good enough to time your blocks you should be rewarded.
So like the system they just took away but instead of being staggered at every swing you only get staggered when it's a perfectly timed block and are left open to at least one saber attack.

From what I've seen so far, Maul can block, but only if he's mid dodge, it's very precise but somewhat awkwardly rewarding timing.

It’s wouldn’t be so hard to watch your stamina if they didn’t change it from being a circle around your reticle to a line at the bottom of he screen
Yea. You're right. Sometimes I forget how much stamina I have because it's not there anymore.
It would be great if they spend time on the blocking where the blocks match where the strikes are going. It would make the fluidity just like the movies!
It needs a For Honor style system that is more fast paced.
Doesn’t work as the game is also against other players and just not heroes.
The fact you mentioned The Star Bazaar and i have been watching him lately, then started watching you too, that is awesome. i subscribed due to that!
I would like to say Im good at saber combat...
But chewie would say otherwise

You should still be able to attack once your stamina runs out, but face some penalties such as:

*Stagger when hitting a blocking hero
*when attacking an blocking Hero with no stamina, the blocker's Stamina cost when blocking is reduced

I also find that alot of hero players have the same tactics on certain maps, like how lukes will always try to push you off edges, and your opponents think you will be the same too, so youve gotta try be unpredictable
I am not really sure about this changes, and yesterday i tried hvV for a very long time and i feel many things need to be tweaked, some blaster heroes now are very very powerful and can one vs one saber heroes (like han) rei is dangerously good, kylo in my mind lost a lot, maul lost a real lot of power, anakin is way too strong and lvl 4 star card anakin 3 shots a hero from behinf with 2 strikes and a passionate and That's just way too much damage in an unblockable combo...grivious lost quite a bit especially with the stamina drain starcard...He runs out of stamina way too fast! I tried it extensively in arcade and even against troopers one person with a blaster can shred through your stamina without even overheating...they should have balanced more the heroes around the changes in my opinion
Agreed with the Grievous bit
jack canox nothings different about fighting blaster users...
@@astashasta1 yes they changed all the stamina values for blaster deflections and in tandem with stamina changes to avoid blockspam you can now deflect much much less, they compensated giving more damage when attacking from behind
Yeah grevious loses stamina so quickly when I played capital supremacy I got lit up like a Christmas tree
@@CA-yn4iw usually i struggle against heroes with troopers but since the update i have seen heroes melting like butter against regular troopers XD oh and the new infiltrators ? That shit is meant to rekt heroes ahaha i have seen a dooku (purple cards ) beeing kited to death by a single arc terooper, it drains stamina like a horny girlfriend...or boyfriend...up to taste ahhahaha
Awesome advice. I know the battle system is not super complex but I enjoy the high quality thinking you’ve put into it.
“Impressive...most impressive.” Vader - Empire Strikes Back
"Combat takes more skill"
10 seconds later*
"One hit guarantees another and the opponent cannot block it no matter of they press the button or not"
Sounds like skill to me
Very cashmoney
1:45 it's not who Initiates always runs out of stamina but in fact all heros and villains have different stamina values. So Vader can block more than luke but luke can swing more than vader
Twice the pride...
double the fall
I need to get back into this game. Watching Vader methodically murder an overactive Rey was....utterly joyful
Best tip:
Make sure YOU have the high ground😉
Finally someone mentioned how important and crucial dodges are in saver combat. Dodging behind a blocking opponent and attack them in the back is the only way I know of to counter block spammers. I feel like players shouldn’t be able to dodge if they’re blocking though.
Agreed, they need to remove some of the input overlap such as dodging while blocking and activating abilities while blocking
Anyone notice how they nerfed Vaders focused rage
vfxdud3 yeah instead of infinite stamina he just gains extra stamina, 50% I believe, It’s not really a nerf
They did it for Rey too which is good makes her less of an annoyance on the Battlefront
Ya but before activating these abilities would refill ur stamina now it does not
Lord Vader that’s good, it means they can’t cheat death and run away
It ruined the game for me. I would play so well with him sometimes beating Anakin 1 on 1 even though Anakin edged him in power now he's far below Anakin
Shouldn't there be someone on the dark side that matches Anakins brute strength? Vader was close to that now they made him nerfed him to the point where I can't even take on 2 at the same time anymore without him gassing like McGregor
I have watched this over and over again and I am good at this game
I bet sammyboii won’t pin and heart
He didn’t
Rip
Sempy he hearted your reply lol
Anakin is even stronger now because he has 4 abilities that knock you down. Even just Passionate Strike gives him 3 or more free hits because the hit detection and block registration allows him to get an extra hit even though you block
Not that anyone cares but i feel like the combat system still isnt great. Far from it. It really needs something else because it really seems like you can block no matter what. The dodges dont help that much
Where can I find a good sensitivity for saber combat I change and change my sensitivity but can't find a good balance between hero's and soldier comabt
Smh The lightsaber combat is still trash in this game.
It's good to see that SWBF2 is starting to become the game we all wanted
I love how much they have changed the game to the way it is now. Btw keep up the good work your awesome you got a new sub!
My tip would be to use your star cards carefully. For example rey running charge ability is too open for someone such as grievous. It's better to use it to throw your enemy off guard than having charge in front of them.
When you use two star cards save one of them for bigger opportunity later on
very nice and detailed video...
looking forward to the promissed sequals... blaster X saber ...
Wish games where like that it just get swarmed. Which when becomes 2 vs stanima is nothing. Also side tip don’t attack until you see whit out line.

General: WEEEEEEEE!!!
Me: Really!?
I just started playing this game and I don’t know if you can dodge while getting hit with a saber? (without blocking)
@SammyBoiii what do you think about DICE/EA bringing back the saber-locks from BF1..?
imagine the mechanics update to whereas if two heroes are at full stamina & that first initial “leap” attack they do, will initiate a saber-lock if both players attack simultaneously. then i guess it would go into maybe who can tap the button faster to determine who wins the lock - which then an animation follows shortly after resulting in the loser being either knocked down or take damage..
..or how would you suggest it would/could/should work ??
Very very helpful! Thank you!
I had to sub! This made me redownload the game.
7:41 What star card is that to give grievous the thrust surge 7000 720 spinaroo
