You already know whoever it is will be broken for atleast a month and then after the nerf will still be significantly more annoying than most characters
i'd prefer classical ju-jutsu before modern martial arts like jiu-jitsu or judo. They are much to soft for a battle field like that. But it would be a nice add up to the claws.
I think we can all agree on it being a sohei, whether or not it’s based directly on benkei would be neat though. Imagine being able to use 3 weapons through stances and 2 extra for feats, and 2 more in his executions?
I think a Sasumata would be the perfect weapon for the next hero May not have been a historical battlefield weapon, but it has incredible potential for many unique gameplay features
My guess is that they are gonna use the same tech on Medjay to have him flow into different modes or maybe he'll combine other forms like OFS, Fullguard, Medjay weapon switch, and dodge tech. Sounds hella complicated, I can't see anything going wrong with this.
I know this will likely go unseen, but if anyone has seen the leaks on Reddit or TikTok you’ll see the silhouette of the next hero, seems like dude hit the nail on the head
That would be really cool but how would they put all those weapons into one hero? Would they have sets of weapons for cosmetics? Would their feats be replaced with weapon swaps? So many questions and seems far to complex for for honor but it would be so cool to have all of those in one hero.
I think this hero will be like Medjai, changing stances, and at the same time, the design will be like Acelotr, with two different weapons, one in each hand, thus totaling 4 different weapons. but I would love it if they showed something completely new.
My theory is that this hero will be some sort of fucked up Hybrid that works like blade master from Soul Calibur, just switching weapons everytime they're killed
As much as I would love to see him portrayed in the game, each hero in FH is characterized by their respective weapon (sometimes the pairing of two different weapons but never switching between a whole arsenal), this helps to cement their identity. Furthermore heroes generally tend to be based around groups of warriors of the past as opposed to one great warrior of the past. Anyway, this was a very cool and interesting video and I've just subscribed, I look forward to seeing more :)
I haven't watched the video yet but I've been wanting a nagamaki hero with more historically accurate armor for the past few years now. They could even base it off of Ayu, since the nagamaki and nodachi are both similar
@@Kurt20051YT Personally, I would actually enjoy a Geisha type hero that uses the tessen fans. A dancer of sorts that can perform supporting dances through feats or something along those lines. I want something unique like that. It's probably not historically accurate tho so I doubt they'd do that.
@@Kurt20051YT I guess it would end up a lot like Nuxia. I imagine incorporating dances into attacks, movements, and dodges. Maybe even an attack chain that ends with a dance that moves her backwards away from the opponent. I imagine she would reposition herself a lot using dances for chains. Perhaps even do something like the Mugen Ryu state Hitokiri has where she enters a dance state for chains, or something like Highlanders where she can enter a dance form. As for feats, she'd have to take on a supportive role granting buffs for her team through active dances and passive dances. Imagine Regenerate, but when out of combat she enters a dance that either buffs her allies temporarily or gives them a Regenerate effect. Her other passive feat could be like Slipknots effects activating upon dodge, her dancing dodges could apply a supportive buff to allies on successful dodges similar to Varangian Guards' buffs on superior attacks. There's a lot you could actually do with her, but her gameplay, like you said, would probably end up similar in combat to Nuxia.. but with more slashing from the tessen fans..
I don’t think it would be a monk warrior, we already have one and in theory nobushi also is a monastically trained unit. Personally I wouldn’t mind it being something like what you described, but i find it improbable. What I would like instead is a Yari-wielding fighter, the one type with a cross profile. I imagine it like a hero that: -has 2 hit basic combos but can chain at the end of each with a forward dodge. -has enhanced forward dash-attacks with both fast and slow variations as main outstanding property. -can charge forward like afeera to close longer distances. -with a post-parry option to dodge back/push you back as part of the punishing attack (to give you enough space so that you can start pressing the attack with your forward dashes). -can use that deleted animation from nobushi that allowed her to move backwards after blocking an attack (this can chain with his basic combos).
But actually fantastic idea it blew my mind. A monk warrior hero is absolutely missing, especially considering the massive impact warrior monks had in feudal japan just ask nobunaga (or rather his history) you could say he would have preferred if monk had never even existed.
But like Warmonger exists, and she's quite similar to Warden. Not to mention they have Gryphon in the game, although my argument is weaker for him. I think it's possible.
A hero ala medjay but with two separate kit and that can switch from a spear in teamfight for a katana for duel scenario would be insane Spear kit would be simple, inspired by Jiang Jung playstyle, with some hyperarmor and UB to cleave the enemy team Katana would be mixup intensive with parry counters, soft feints, chain bashes and UB pressure ala centurion Since we just got VG which is the superior block godess and that thje last samurai was Kyoshin, we can safely assume that this hero will be an offensive hero with no specific defensive option, so I bet he will have some mix up intensive part at least. WE can also assume it will be a dude. It's been a while UBI is going for man/women pattern of hero release.
If benkei is going to be the new samurai hero, will yoshitsune be a new skin for Orochi? I think this would be a good combination to recreate the duel between the two characters on the bridge.
i wanna see a cavalry officer or musketeer who uses a rapier and then as a feat/in some executions they just pull out a musket (could word like the longbow other characters have)
Interesting indeed! I was hoping we would get a wulin character with guantlet like weapons who specialize in a martial art style fighting. As for Samurai I'm super excited.
While the weapon is obviously the most important thing,I also expect the new hero to have some nice,clean looking armor sets.Since the release i been waiting for a samurai hero to have the "back flag"thing you see in some samurai armors,like in the last samurai movie.That would have been awesome for the Kensei,but i dont think the devs will make it,unfortunately.Lets just hope for the best
i'm scared that the hero skin of the samurai is gonna get wasted for the new assassin game. i just want demon shoguki skin . let me know what you guys think will it be an original skin or just an ad for the new game
i got three guesses what type of samurai it'll be 1.) a Metsuke (Samurai Official wielding a Jutte) 2.) a Sohei although instead of a Naginata maybe a Yari or Nagamaki or Branched Sword 3.) another type of Shinobi but with a Kodachi
While i don't think he's gonna use all of the weapons he has (especially since we already have a masakari user in Hito) i can see him be the first hero to have more than 2 weapons.
Since we have a Shinobi Why don't we get a ninja? Or a samurai with a Ninjaken, Basically the weapon is a smaller katana with a straight blade and it can be easily hidden.
I think that would feel too out of place or goofy. If it was a feat on some of the Wu Lin heroes it would have been perfect. I’ve been hoping for a Wu Lin assassins hero with butterfly swords and I would love for them to have a rope dart as a ranged feat since we now have Ocelotl with something similar.
@@joonlee6580 And plus how would the weapon be in three pieces all weapons in this game is in three pieces for customization but the rope dart would be in one piece, the blade, shinobi's kamas have chains yet they are not part of the weapon customization.
@@majinzombiegenocider next season is June 13th (if my memory serves) and the hero should come out six weeks later on July 25th Spoiler: The trailer for next season was leaked, showing the skin and silhouette of the next hero, this video seems to have hit the nail on the head
we have 3 Vikings with 3 different axes and orochi uses a katana Aramusha uses two katanas and kensei uses basically a big katana so what's the problem.
I think the monk idea would encroach too much on shoalin's territory, I'm not saying it's a bad idea but I don't think ubi would consider it unique enough
If you're interested in For honor Samurai History I would recommend watching this series.

It’s gonna be a WW2 soldier with a bayonetted rifle
I mean we do have pirates already lol, but a WW2 soldier would be too political in this enviroment.
If he doesn’t have last laugh as a level 4 feat I’m out.
BONZAI!
Gonna be Immortal Sugimoto
Shout out to the minions being the only Samurai in For Honor to use a shield
hopefully soon to change
@@jadenabraham3512 I want it to change, for sure, but I'd rather not get one so soon after VG.
I mean it’s really against the samurai’s armory to rock a shield
@moonscotty_ Not samurai, but some Japanese warriors did, and For Honor has shown that "Samurai" just means "Japanese" in their game.
Shields were almost never used in Japan in any major period that I can see them taking influence from😊
this guy just knew exactly who the new hero was, his weapons, his pose, the arrows in his body and gave us the explanation before he came out
Came for the new hero stayed for the cool story
I actually made a reddit post about this hero too, makes me glad more people are seeing it now.
The story was so interesting I completely forgot I was watching a For Honor video. Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am excited yet afraid of what's to come.
Same I hope they don’t fuck it up
You already know whoever it is will be broken for atleast a month and then after the nerf will still be significantly more annoying than most characters
@@Nickyblicky-n5xsounds like every hero they’ve released since the wu lin faction
@@Heart_13426 yeah its sad everyone hates pirate and medjay except for pirate snd medjay players
When does the season start?
Imagine if, mid chain, he pulls out a saw in a Jiang Jun like chokehold and starts sawing.
OH MY GOD THE SINBAD REFERENCE AT 2:44 instant sub
I was thinking about him the same way you do, I would love to see bankei
I'd love to see more spear heros in for honor, especially a two handed cross spear.
What about some kind of Jiu-jitsu fighter-esque Hero
That'd be awesome, man doesn't need weapons, he is the weapon
i'd prefer classical ju-jutsu before modern martial arts like jiu-jitsu or judo. They are much to soft for a battle field like that. But it would be a nice add up to the claws.
Hope it’s not grapple based in the slightest, just sounds cancer
I am very excited for this. Hope he has a good fashion!
I've always wanted a Samurai who uses a Bo or Tonfa.
Either would be perfect
That are Chinesen weapon, or i wrong?
@@maximilanklug7439 They are okinawan which while still japanese still isn't samurai.
Great video, i love this type of content, predicting whats coming next to for honor.

Really like the sohei idea, always wanted a sohei verison of nobushi

That's exactly what I've been saying too!

Sounds hella complicated, I can't see anything going wrong with this.
I have a feeling the weapons will be feat based
@@KingShibei got the same sensation but i really hope they make a complicated hero

Funny enough I actually made a video covering the leaks fortunately it got taken down by Ubisoft
Ive been searching for hours on tiktok and reddit and havent seen a single leak on the new hero
Kyoshin, is a take on the yamabushi already.
What you think of Twin blade windmill sword with Onimusha Vibes?
If I can be honest I'm just happy to get something for the samurai
@@GeneralFujikiyoI think Ashigaru with Tanegashima would be great. Spice up the gameplay
I was thinking isshin the sword saint when they said master of multiple weapons
I'm a big Sekiro fan so I would love to see that
That would be really cool but how would they put all those weapons into one hero? Would they have sets of weapons for cosmetics? Would their feats be replaced with weapon swaps? So many questions and seems far to complex for for honor but it would be so cool to have all of those in one hero.
Something like Shogun from shado fight 2 wuld Be so sick
The next samurai hero is gonna be Campaign Officer 5, there's no doubts about it.
I think this hero will be like Medjai, changing stances, and at the same time, the design will be like Acelotr, with two different weapons, one in each hand, thus totaling 4 different weapons. but I would love it if they showed something completely new.

hey fuji just droping by to say keep the greath content
Thanks for coming
I haven't watched the video yet but I've been wanting a nagamaki hero with more historically accurate armor for the past few years now. They could even base it off of Ayu, since the nagamaki and nodachi are both similar
We have an aged and battle hardened Holden Cross as the Gryphon, why not an aged and more experienced Ayu?
Yeah exactly. The nagamaki isn't a very common weapon either, so if they want something less common, I think that'd be fine.

Gimme nunchucks tho

But actually fantastic idea it blew my mind. A monk warrior hero is absolutely missing, especially considering the massive impact warrior monks had in feudal japan just ask nobunaga (or rather his history) you could say he would have preferred if monk had never even existed.
I'm just terrible pronouncing Japanese words
@@GeneralFujikiyo Nah don’t worry about it, who can honestly claim they’ve never made a mistake? Especially with a foreign language
nice vid
I think these guys may be a bit too similar to Nobushi, and because of this reason alone, i dont think they will use them
But like Warmonger exists, and she's quite similar to Warden. Not to mention they have Gryphon in the game, although my argument is weaker for him. I think it's possible.
I believe the new hero will be based on the shogun and will be able to switch between a yari and a tachi.

Hear me out ninja turtles? 🤔🔥
Hear me out Shredder ?
i got three guesses what type of samurai it'll be
1.) a Metsuke (Samurai Official wielding a Jutte)
2.) a Sohei although instead of a Naginata maybe a Yari or Nagamaki or Branched Sword
3.) another type of Shinobi but with a Kodachi

i would like benkei or sanada yukimura, Takeda shingen or Minamoto no Yoshitsune
That was my guess when they announced him
I think she would have Tonfas and she would be classified as an assassin/ disabler.
Give us kitana from MK
No just give me shao kahn or mileena
i just want a Kusarigama user, since Shinobi can't rlly throw chains anymore
about Naginata, we already have Nobushi anyway
look at the new trailer it looks like a shinobi with 4 weapons on the back
also the season has something to do with the 1000 blades or 2000 i forgot
God if they put the ikko ikki japanese Warrior monk i Will reinstall the game
We need a samurai in o yoroi and a tiger claw yari
Make a sōhei monk with a nagamaki, it's not a katana but it's not a naginata either
I want a samurai with a musket bayonet
No more heavy give us a assassin for once 😭
🔥🙌🏼
Yeah you can see benkei in nioh 2
if it's another spear user or sword user I guess I save 7.99 or 15,000 steel.
I need to have shredder in the game hands down
I'am praying to god for a Sohei
