Nine-L
[10] Knight
This guy was definitely in the top slot for most common character I encountered online for a repulsively long time, but they all seemed to be terrible. Now that his popularity has waxed and waned and leveled out, I actually run into people who seem to play him to win rather than to use crossbows...
...And then I realize I know somewhere between "dick" and "shit" about this character. I (obviously) play Nightmare so I can usually get fairly far just on proper spacing and occasionally being psychic, but the need for actual character knowledge has arisen.
He's exceptionally annoying to me in close when he's being played well. I just can't get him the hell off of me. A lot of his crap seems to catch backstep, and as I said, I lack knowledge here so I'm not really sure where I can push a button in his face, if at all. And I hesitate to do so anyway because the whole match for him is just a fishing expedition for counterhits.
I can't tell if this character is legit or I'm just getting gimmicked. If they're gimmicks, they're the least gimmicky looking gimmicks in the game.
Just looking for any help at all. "Competent Ezio" is a totally new character to me. Hell, sometimes "Seemingly Awake Ezio" can throw me off my game. If there's some general anti-Ezio strategy, that'd be nice. Really specific stuff, also helpful. He seems like he has some not-totally-obvious frame-traps that I'm probably getting caught by, I think...?
Shit, that was a little more rambling than I wanted it to be. Sorry. Thanks for the time.
