Anybody else had their soul crushed fighting The Deserter? When I first saw em I was amazed by his size then I felt so sad thinking of his story, eyes got watery seeing how he fought and the music just made it worse. I was not expecting that at all. This game is so amazing in ways I didn’t even expect.
They keep spamming the same new move in the trailers for a reason. 😈
Zelda inspired move for CB in expansion. I can imagine extending the charged sword animation into a new animation where you get to walk around while holding the charge similar to link if you have phials available, releasing all phials on spin.
The benefit could be it releasing all phials but if all the sword strikes lands, it charges back to red gauge if you have loads shells maxed, allowing a charge phial to SAED/SA to be combo’d smoothly after the spin. It could allow full power SAED if combo’d together. They would definitely need to give us instant charge sword after PG to make the move viable against faster monsters.
It fits into the charge design smoothly while adding decent damage and utility for SnS mode. Also scratches the energy blade itch seeing your charged sword crackling with energy before releasing the spin.
Was thinking of a reworked energy blade that blends in the aerial CB, after shield jab you hold the button into a charged uppercut follow-up with the shield, basically a shinku shoryuken with the shield. Once you’re in the air you have the choice to combo into an energy blade dive or standard arial moves, stabbing it into the ground (sephiroth style) for a AOE phial dump. A phial sends you up in air and a phial shoots you down fast to dump the last three if you have them. Requires phials and a charged sword for EB and charged shield for the uppercut, SA reduces initial phial cost.
