bad change either make it so it requires ip to use or revert back to gaining openings. quick dodge is already too strong.

It may be too strong, but if that is so, I think it should probably be rebalanced in some other way, like adding a small windup, increasing its cooldown, or something. A dodged attack should be dodged.

holding down lowblow key just makes it auto attack after 3ish seconds, is this working as intended?

Yes, it does have an upper limit to how long it will let you hold it down.

also what is the point of lefthook when lowblow does it 100x better?

Low blow doesn't interrupt the player it hits.

attacks have no cd when colliding with shield up/quick dodge really hope this isnt intended.

Indeed not intended. Thanks for the report.

it was balanced that way tho? dont want to risk taking damage quick dodge feeling confident use something like punch to block the attack no damage no opening.

Low blow doesn't interrupt the player it hits.

there are moves far better at interrupting than lefthook. id say lowblow is the perfect move to spam on people to keep their opening nice and high.
lowblow > player uses jump> punch +1ip > continue lowblow until desired openings > kito

add animals (or dummies/chickens if you haven't figured out animal moves) to the test server so we can test when no one's online, we can't even begin a combat relation and see how each move works if the test server is abandoned which it usually is

log in with 2 accounts to spar the other and test moves.

Or bring friends/villagers. I'd imagine that asking in one of the public Discord channels might yield a couple of volunteers, too.

The downside of "two accounts" is the other doesn't move much. Some sparring dummies that have some basic AI or random movement would be helpful.

downside of this is that you dont get to experience how disjointed it feels fighting another moving target

also, since i dont believe this was ever responded to:

what is the takeaway remark from devs regarding how awkwardly clunky and non-functional this combat feels

im kind of on the other side of an ocean. i'm almost certain that if this combat goes through pvp is an entire non-option for me, and honestly it might even get to the point that pve isnt an option either. this combat seems like it will REQUIRE smoother netcode and lower pings.

no idea how much of this is a "Grass is greener" situation, but seeing as how people seem to actually like this combat (with everyone i've heard liking it being european?) i doubt that concept.

also his post says $7 again

ie: Original patch post uses 2 different prices.
10$ being the wrong one, compared to the $7 price in store-page.

The system still just doesn't work, there's nothing to stop someone from just walking in the opposite direction from you because they feel like it.
