Hence why my character's strengths are set on low, and the cpu strength is set on high... depending on certain characters, they can really do some damage with a couple of combos... still rare to lose...
Yeah, Ixa is weak, but Rising form is definitely strong... especially one of the combos he does that become an instant shield breaker (his able to pull the same combo fast enough I couldn't side step)
that's what rider counter is there for
you can also rider step for less gauge usage BEFORE you are guard breaked(block first hit, rider step and retaliate), seriously, the odds of losing against the hardest CPU in CHF/CHOOO is very, very slim, CH&CHW were much harder IIRC
The strongest character now has to be Zeronos Altair Form. With all the gun Riders and most sword Riders strings nerfed, Zeronos is the only one to have all the quick strings of slashing about 5-6 in a row. For some weak characters, attacking with heavy combo once can instantly guard break. Against computer hard mode, I won with a Perfect in less than 10 seconds.
long strings doesn't always mean they are great(everything is great against CPU mind you), and of course being nerfed so bad like diend does make him much weaker, for sword user, i'll say that knight is the absolute best one currently, mainly because his strings is not too lengthy(cannot be punished easily), has decent range despite how the weapons look
and that's not all, you can also opt for major damage/guard break by inserting darkwing into your combo right when its blocked/connected, or switch to wing lancer for more reach and priority, or just press the win button by activating guard vent
knight survive however, is more like a nerfed kiva emperor, the attack buff vent is nice and all, but having only normal strings and lacking advent&guard vent kinda makes him pale in comparison to its normal form
