Actually did a size comparison with a couple of friends. We compared this guy to a Shugoki and a Lawbringer. Sohei is actually a tad taller than the Shugoki. Which made my Lawbringer look pretty small compared to Sohei. 😂 Hopefully the Vikings will get an equally intimidating hero, height wise.
They already do. You might not realize this but Warlord is massive. Ppl don't notice how big he actually is since his lock on stance he's pretty much squatting so low his butt is touching the ground. Stand him up next to shugoki he's one of the only ones that doesn't look small next to him.
@@KinaIchi what? No the heck he's not. You sure you're not getting him confused for Highlander cause Highlander is a dwarf. Warlord is the biggest viking in the game and dam near the same height as shugoki.
@@KinaIchi you're thinking of lock on stances... Which is why I pointed that out for warlord because he squats super low. Highlander stands perfectly straight even while locked on making him seem taller than he is. The man is an actual midget... He's EXACTLY the same height as Shinobi. You can look at this yourself. Stand him next to Shinobi with both of them unlocked they're the same height.. Unlocked no targeting everyone stands perfectly straight. Now stand him next to warlord with both of them unlocked warlord completely towers over Highlander. He towers over everybody except shugoki when he's not squatting down.
Sohei is the coolest looking hero they've released in years, regardless of how his mechanics work, they're lacking somewhat but I think the concept is amazing and I hope any changes the devs make improves the character while keeping his uniqueness to the roster. This game needs more characters like this moving forward, the future is bright for this game💯
Absolutely love Sohei. His new mechanic and resource concept is refreshing and while I might agree with most players that the limited combo moveset feels like it’s lacking, I feel that the dev’s did really well at balancing his 95 damage attack with the overall reduced damage output. He feels very technical, yet, creative enough to satisfy my ADHD and his warcry when he reaches 7 stacks of souls is epic. Don’t know if anyone feels the same as me about him.
Sadly he suffers from buggy parry frames, I can't parry worth shiz with him and his combos are a bit janky so if you're a millisecond to late on a millisecond input you can't faint anything either. I've had no issues with any other hero I have but him when it comes to fainting and parrying. Also his light follow ups are just a tad to slow to be useful he's a walking parry farm.
I think hes great the way he is. I think they should keep the heavy on heavy parry just because its unique and to balance out the low damage from his lights.
I think that the forward bash in full souls mode should have higher recovery (something like 1000 ms so that it could be gbd on a right read) and be unacessible on heavy parry, other than that i think he's super cool hero.
Personally i feel he is decent in duels but is bottom tier in 4s. He is kind of easy to read. It is still early but i feel is pretty week beside his soul move.
This character is shit, but when you do the finisher, it finally makes you happy, he makes u suffer the whole game to have few seconds of fun bruh, he is slow, has no damage, has bad chain pressure
He’s not really bad, he just has a totally different method of fight winning. He’s basically For Honor’s first burst damage hero. You will mostly kill by building up to a huge hit rather than chunking down your opponent. Many think he’s bad cuz they dealt almost no damage, but if you almost got to 6 souls or you did and died, you got just as close to killing someone as you would have with another hero most likely. Nobody has had enough practice with him truly yet either to nail a proper playstyle. He is hard to learn as well and a lot of people don’t have the patience to stick with him either and just say he’s bad. I honestly still think it’s to early to say he is definitely bad or good, but I think he’ll have a decent number of players that will eventually end up liking him. He is very unique and I personally hope more heroes are like him rather than Ocelotl, VG, Afeera, etc.
The character its not OP, he needs improvements, he seems made for the game before the CCU, his slowness is noticeable, he doesnt do damage, nor does he exert combat pressure, he is fun and creative, but hes weak, when he only makes him stand out is when he has his feats 4vs4, otherwise it doesn't worry.
I think it'd be nice if he had more combos, or maybe able to soft feint his normal heavies into a guardbreak or something. I'm no pro tho, but I'm really enjoying him so far.
i dont get it i need someone to explain to me how a character that plays the same game as everyone else but gets rewarded a 95 dmg neutral bash for getting two gb's is a unique playstyle like seriously whats fun or fair about that? its not even like he has to work particularly hard for gbs cause he still has ub heavies and can obviously still force 50/50s. its just stupid
Only negative I have for the character so far is the inability to chain light and heavies. Do anyone know why they decided to not do this; because as of now, it doesn’t make sense.
honestly i love the look of the character i just need to get my brain out of the habit of light heavy, i just end up throwing a light there staring at the enemy like 👁️_👁️
Hey Havok I know you main warden but DID you KNOW warden is a playable character in samurai showdown by Snk, would love to see you try him out on a stream sometime wasn’t sure if you knew about that for honor crossover
After using him for a while I'm not too sure either but in terms of looks he's the best looking hero since Kyoshin i love the main weapon choice too animations are pretty cool but I'm still kind of unsure but he's way better than the outlanders though in my opinion by that i mean both looks and weapon choices but honestly i need me some who-Li.....i mean WU-LIN
I absolutely love the design and voice acting of the character, his gameplay could use a few tweaks, he needs something for 4s because hes not great in them, and i think his numbers could be tweaked a little. Nerf the 95 dmg attack, not by too much, maybe just down to 50-65 and buff his normal damage. Alternatively, instead of nerfing this character they could buff a lot of the others. Give shaman her 50 dmg bite back, and being shugokis hug back to its former glory, etc.
@@randomgamer3868 you know what, youre right. so now shamans bite does no damage to characters in full plate armor, virtually all the vikings are one shot on account of being nudists, and the samurais blades have a 60% chance to snap when parrying or being parried
@@shootz2344 Hell yeah let's go with that!!!. Nah but on all seriousness shut up, you know what I meant. For the longest time damage numbers have only been going down, and if they ever get buffed it's by like 2 points. We're almost at a point where 30+ damage attacks are going to be non existent. Everythings just going to be peanut damage, and fights will take forever.
@@randomgamer3868 yeah that was on purpose. that was literally the *entire* point of the ccu. reverting damage would go back on that, and for what? stupid unfun high dmg moves? no thanks
People complain how OP this hero is. The only 2 solutions I would give is this. Everytime sohei gets hit he loses a weapon indicator. But keeps the damage. Or Keeps the weapon stats but reduce damage to only 50 damage.

I can't get used to the new hero I'm gutted was really looking forward to him but not been able to light then heavy attack makes me feel really uncomfortable and limited
I love the hero concept tbh. But i have to say, you have to work really hard every round and memorize/keep up with the wepons it just leaves you drained after about an hour of playing. I cant so it lol. Just not worth it tbh i play for honor to chill i dont sweat at all
He is a great addition and simply refreshing. He is paying a different game, and everything about him is satisfying. I think he is strong enough to be relevant, but not so overbearing that he feels game warping. I honestly think he should keep the bash on heavy parry just to cement his 6 stacks as the win condition, he gives up a lot for this so it should be good. I think he is about as balanced as a grappler style character should be, and I am really impressed at the design risk they took because I think it paid off. I am very excited for the next hero, I hope they continue to push what Art of Battle's systems can do, rather than just seeing how strong we can make a new hero.
Great character but i hate everything about his gameplay philosophy. having no damage on base attacks just to build up to your spender that takes away +80% health on most of the roster is not fun for any party involved, very one dimensional and will probably get stale quickly its like a dumb WoW class design
Damn near every character with a bash can get one with a heavy parry so what if sohei has the potential to guarantee 95 damage the rest of his kit is bad

Ggs man, I kept trying to do a heavy-light or light-heavy combo 😅
Yeah it's a hard habit to break 😕 feels like he should have that
he should have it tbh.
It’s going to take some time to get used to for sure but I like the concept, hard one to master
He needs some changes for sure but he has massive potential to be amazing design-wise
I feel this lol, it’s so hard to stop my muscle memory

Insane collab
For example the damage of his attacks could be increased but at the cost of his "ultimate"'s damage to be lowered significantly.
This dude is literally the forbidden one 😅
Awesome, seeing 2 kings battling.

Personally i feel he is decent in duels but is bottom tier in 4s. He is kind of easy to read. It is still early but i feel is pretty week beside his soul move.
There are 2 takes on Sohei
1: Omg 95dmg OP hero!!1! Neeeerf!!! 50dmg good!!!!!
2: This character is bad and needs major buffs/rework
This character is shit, but when you do the finisher, it finally makes you happy, he makes u suffer the whole game to have few seconds of fun bruh, he is slow, has no damage, has bad chain pressure

Make the damn 95 dmg do less and make the chain attacks more
I think that the 95dmg bash should have to be a full charged bash. That would allow people a chance to move away but can still be combo'd
I think it'd be nice if he had more combos, or maybe able to soft feint his normal heavies into a guardbreak or something. I'm no pro tho, but I'm really enjoying him so far.

He needs work but I like how he feels different I feel like the past few have kinda blended together if that makes sense
What pattern do you use on the standards to get the polka dot look? It reminds of Gilgamesh from FF lol
Heihachi Mishima just realesed in FH.
Lol, I am waiting in Tekken 8.
BTW Havok, what about try other fighting games? )
They need to make this character have soft feint on unblockable attacks that would help out his kit alot
NovaKing “Hello There”
Havok casually reads it
My Inner self “GENERAL KENOBI!!!!”
He needs a light to heavy and vice versa
No he doesn’t
@@MkOnthaGameyes he does lol. His moveset is so limited
he has the zone extender for a reason.
@@randomgamer3868 but it’s just basic kit. Pretty much everyone has it
and also reduce weapons from 6 to 4 so it’s easier to get the ultimate move

YESSSS
What I don’t understand is why the bash is unpunishable by guardbreak
Because otherwise his offense would be even worse
Every forward bash is unpunishable except if you read
Yo havok traplar is on of my mates that calls me shit cause I'm a low rep glad to see you made him rage quit
Might have found Sohei's counter heros ,they are LB and Shino
Seems like you will rarely see an execution from this hero.
Havok what color palette you are using?
They need to make his one shot stab uninterruptible by teammates

What Nova thinks of the orochi nerfs ☆.☆
Do you have to zone attack to get the grab thing?
Yeah that’s the input- bash and zone
Yup
@@_Azryl_-tv8ekI just thought that I was doing it weird. Zone seems like a weird grab
He sucks at anti ganking, but he's still fun to play.
Yeah not the best hero for anti ganking for sure
*Clash of the Titans*
Can you dodge the grab when you get bashed? I haven’t had time to actually play for honor so I’m just curious
Nope it's confirmed on bash
I think the grab should not be garanteed after bash, it should have been a single thing or softfaint
