I played Gladiator so you dont have to - For Honor 

Ubisoft copyright claimed my video because i played a few seconds of the first gladiator trailer so i had to reupload. These interns play dirty so I'd appreciate all the support I can get on this video thanks! Please enjoy the video and let me know how you feel about it!

Gladiator and Centurion were my two favorites. Their fighting styles were just so... Mean and punchy lol. You felt good laying a beat down on someone.

I dont play the hero, but I have noticed that Glad's animations are very damn good, from combat to emotes and executions.

Lmao my mom LOVED Gladiator and we used to watch it when I was a kid. I still got that scene where that one guy gets his head chopped off and it just slow motion flies in the air and how it was a turning point for the main character

Just finished watching Gladiator and my god what a great movie. Thank you Sol for recommending it

I miss the time when we were complaining about Gryphon Hero thinking it was the absolute worst thing to happen to For Honor. Ah yes those were the times... Now we have hyper aggressive go bbbrrrrrr heros with the same attacks just different skins.

Man I played the hell out of For Honor back in the day. I always thought knights, vikings, and samurai fighting eachother was such a badass concept. Knights and Samurai are like east and west versions of the same thing, so thinking about how they would react to eachother is really interesting, even before For Honor existed. Vikings also are common rivals for knights in media and pop culture. The premise of the game was so perfect imo, and the gritty soundtrack, graphics, and tone really sold the feeling of being a warrior. The year 1 loading screens... with the "wolves among sheep" track and both teams taking stances across from eachother in the rain was sooo badass and hyped me up for matches. The animations were so fluid and dynamic, characters moved realistically (except wardens crush counter). Since then though... they brightened the graphics, none of the music is as good, and it seems like the tone of the game has entirely shifted. The wu-lin, yeah they are kinda cool, especially jiang-jun, but they are too far in the fantasy spectrum, they remind me of dynasty warriors with their over-the-top antics. They just don't fit imo. Don't even get me started on the pirate with a literal gun, which is extremely out of place in this era. Movesets have been rebalanced and as a side effect, many movements look very unnatural. Idk this is just my dumb opinion but I really feel like Ubisoft ruined a badass alternate history setting that was somewhat stretching but still believable. I remember when the most heinous offense was a shieldless, roman centurion in the late medieval era, now it seems like every new hero is in complete disregard of the setting. I never saw this game as "historic warrior mashup" but that's what it is now and that's not what sold me on the game.

Well said. Really hope the devs would stop reuse SO MUCH animations with future heroes...

Gladiator has without a doubt been one of my favorite heroes through the time I’ve played FH. I always found his animations, weapon, and fashion some of the most unique and best of most heroes. It truly is a shame how much he’s been stepped on, despite getting some useful changes. I would most definitely love to see the toe stagger come back, but one more thing I think would be useful, would be his deflect stab being able to break through hyper armor. Granted, that could be a little busted to some, but at this point, it’s just so much hyper armor he needs to deal with.

It really is amazing how they managed to make the UI slower somehow. Bravo ubi, you've done it again

Less gooo reupload now I can share it to my friend

Glad you mentioned bringing back the stun on dodge bash it’s 100 percent needed and it helped with his mixup. Also unrelated but they should add the armor from the movie gladiator to centurion it would be awesome

1. Make all the heavies in chains, and starter be those wide swipe swings to help in dominion. 2. Remove reflex guard. Hallo? 3. Nerf the deflect damage from 37 to 25, make it break armor.

I still like playing Gladiator. I like his mix-ups and I think his deflect is something that makes people want to play fortnite again. He's probably still my favorite or second favorite assassin hero and I won't think otherwise.

Maybe your best video Sol. You’re absolutely right, Ubi needs to find a better balance between a hero being viable and being unique.

Glads my highest rep and I would like to see him have dodge recovery on toe stab especially now that everyone is about to have dodge attacks AND HIS DEFLECT NEEDS TO STOP HYPER ARMOR LIKE OROCHI AND ZERK. Your literally poking them through their stomach and they can just keep going nothing is happening. And I agree with the brining back the stun in his dodge bash because it’s extremely easy to punish even if you don’t have a dodge attack

Next time Jorm ? The poor Jorm

dear god, hearing the glad line "defici marate" brought back so many memories and a melancholic feeling

I remember coming back from my like year and a half to 2 year break from FH. Glad was one of my mains, and my pure shock in not getting the unbalance on no stam’d people was unrivaled. Literally “WAIT WTF WHAT DID THEY DO TO MY BOY” Still play him frequently, but it can be quite hard to keep up with the meta of having almost everything. Dodge cancels, undodgeable, unblockable, soft feints, hyper armor, and worst of all, not getting my deflects like half of the time? I remember getting a deflect and the Highlander just tanking him GETTING SKEWERED and just lighting me out of it. Plz give my boy glad some love. His executions are godly. His overall vibe is just one of the best.

Some nerfs: Unfeintable zone, reduced punish on oos skewer throws. Ups: More chain links after forward suckerpunch, light and toestab. More stamina drain and stun on forward suckerpunch. the idea being that forward suckerpunch doesn't have any more utility than the side ones, but has obviously no invun frames or defensive value at all. Side dodge suckerpunch is an amazing defensive tool already, so no need to buff it. You should have other benefits from it to make up for that, and giving it straight up damage would be boring af. OOS Toe stab back baby ! Shieldbash parrycounter YEETING the opponent back and on their ass if you parry while the opponent is oos (A la Yorm). I have no idea how it could work, but it'd be cool.

I got covid for the first time a few days ago. And im so glad I have an amazing sol video to get ms through it 💛

Yeah I miss unbalance on toe stab, I loved using that so much

I love the little meme compilation we had going on in the beginning 😂

Your rework idea at the end was basically exactly what I was thinking. I think the biggest things are the toe stab unbalance, the guaranteed deflect, and the stun on sucker punch. The nerf to toe stab so soon before the stamina rework was ridiculous, getting a deflect interrupted by a hyper armor attack feels terrible, and the stun on sucker punch would feel great to have back. In my recent experience playing glad, he just doesn't have enough tools to keep up with many other heroes, especially in duels. His kit has skewer, toe stab, and sucker punch, but lacks any other tools. He has no hyper armor, no undodgeable attacks, no 50/50, nothing that seems to be in almost every modern hero's kit (*cough*pirate*cough*). I think that the simple changes to his toe stab, deflect, and sucker punch would take him to a very decent place, and I would be satisfied with that, but for the gladiator to be truly "competitive" with some of the top tier heroes, he would require something more. Something like undodgeable heavy finishers would go far. Or maybe a soft feint or speed increase for his skewer. Any buffs like this would most likely be accompanied by nerfs to skewer damage, but I think it'd be better overall.

Box boy perseveres again no itern can stop this cardboard menace

no one can stop the box>:) keep up the content

I liked your idea of making the out of stam toe stab nock to a light and not a heavy it would make it more fair while giving glad something to make him a bit more scary to go out of stam against

SolidSol videos: 😀 SolidSol thumbnails: 😦

I can confirm that they added the toe stab back

Hello glad main here I think it they add back toe stab knockdown add back bash stun give him a free hit after bash like conq speed up his bash speed up his skewer and allow his deflect to cancel hyper armor like orochi then he should be up to par with the other hero's

reused animations is the reason why i dont main new heroes. i want my hero to feel unique, and u get way more customization with older heroes like executions and emotes while the newer heroes are very limited.

If anything they should really bring back the toe stab knockback when out of stamina. Its so unique and cool to look at and feels damn good doing it. But then its Ubisoft we're talking about here, they don't like it when their players have fun with their games.

Ay love the total war rome 2 shoutout, one of my fav games

I would love to hear your thoughts on hitokiri next

i just want them to bring back the unique execution's of minions and for hero's

Hey so I'm pretty sure theres a word minimum for how many count as a comment to boost the video sonic said all this. Great vid!

2:02 How I feel after 1,200 hours of For Honor and still going

You can do the punch stun on skewer on Xbox by forward guard break after landing skewer fairly consistently, it’s not like a special keybind or anything, just forward guardbreak

I played the feet fiend so you don’t have too

They need to add back step jump spinning thrust counters

Good news toe stab knocks down OOS opponents note

Glad is peak

Bc of the stamina patch lost Jorm her max Stam punshis and what do u guys think about as the next hero a viking wich uses gauntlets or a scythe And I hope ubi gives us back the voice acting of all characters

hyperarmor going through his deflect is so depressing

As a rep 70 glad I suggest the unbalanced toe stab into heavy again since the stamina changes is live now, not only for glad but for all hero’s deflect stop hyper armor, again for all reflex guard hero’s just remove it make their guard standard like non-reflex guard hero’s. Dodge recovery after toe stabs and heavy finishers for a spicy deflects on super dodgy characters and play styles

“Mix up intensive”

I play a lot of shaman and arumusha but I’ve always wanted to try gladiator, just been putting it off till I saw this, now I’m like… level 14 and losing cuz I suck

I am waiting for feral cat to release another total war game on the iPhone. They have already done Rome total war with DLC and medieval II total war which were really fun and nostalgic.

could you do Valkyrie soon, she has an interesting kit and I'd like to hear your opinion on her.

Thank god someone finally got Daubeny

It would be great if they just gave glad dodge recovery after a toestab

I don’t think they’ll add the stun since they took monks stun top light away also

we need a character that fights with their fists and instead of blocking attacks they weave

I miss the guaranteed foward dodge light after a deflect it meant that now it was your turn to attack now skewer just brings both players to neutral if there is no wall/ledge to throw them old toe stab was fine yes it gave glad huge Out of stamina pressure but most people would take the toe stab + heavy for 40 dmg instead of skewer side throw + 2 heavies/skewer feint into gb into foward dodge light light heavy then toe stab for more dmg yes it gave him huge OOS punishes with some hiting for 70-100 dmg but they required execution and with the new stamina changes it wouldnt be that much of a nuisance yes all his dodge attacks options were bad but it just meant you couldnt spam it and get away with it but sucker punch dealt stamina dmg and stunned and since the chain heavy wasnt guaranteed it was fine

My boy talked about the actual topic for 6 minutes in a 19 minute video

I decided to watch gladiator instead of endure cbt and man im glad u recommended this movie🥳

Please find a way to save my boy

thank you, i almost redownloaded it

So Conq has a heavy or a light punish that you can use if in 1v1 or Ganks I think glad should be able to have that too maybe reuse his zone animation to chain after dodge bashes for ganks

I don't think there's anything wrong with glad, good bash, good bleed, can never run out of stam

0:03 well Daubeny so was I but then MrBox uploaded 🤷‍♂️

Nuxia needs the biggest rework I've ever seen

I remember the times i'd ask my friends "what hero do you play ?" and they'd tell me a name and i would think "ho this cool moveset and animation and kit !" Now i just ask them which tier 4 they play, because that's about the only think unique per kit x'D I'm slightly exagerating, but at the same time, feels like everyone is the same. They want all heroes to have all the same options so they are all viable. But in the end, it makes also all heroes the same hero. Is it really viable anymore. I wonder. Also gladiator's fashion is a 10/10, ubi add more !!!

Man I used to play alot, I started back when we still had minion killing animations, but I had taken a break and came back recently. Wtf happened to this game what was the turning point, was it the combat overhaul? Despite for honor being for honor I thought it was sitting at a decent point for a while there

Changes I'd give Glad: *Reduce stamina consumption significantly on zone attacks & hard feinting mixups *Give a soft feint option to use toe stab or crowd pleaser when using a heavy or skewer *Toe stab knockdown is brought back, but is activated when an opponent is bleeding, instead of being out of stamina to reward successful skewers *Give heavy light into heavy chains for more versatility with chains *Parry bash wallsplats *Heavy finishers are now undodgeable *The first light in a chain has crushing counter properties (helps aid in anti ganking & punishing dodge heavy spammers* *Sucker punch no longer chains into skewer, toe stabs lights & heavies still can though *Sucker Punch drains 30 stamina (still no stamina pause though), and guarantees a light attack, after light you can chain into skewer or an undodgeable heavy finisher *zone attack is changed drastically by removing the bash portion, speeding it up a little, making the spin unblockable and allowing it to execute, its new damage is now 25. *Zone attack can soft feinted into crowd pleaser or toe stab

the punchies should do increase damage since stamina drain is a joke

Your very good at making me want to play for honor and not play it at the same time

I think bringing back the toe stab knockdown would be pretty reasonable after the stamina changes, other than that he is pretty fine in my opinion. Btw can you maybe do a vid about my boy Tiandi? I feel like he’s a little bit underwhelming but can be really good if they just change 1 or 2 little things about him

having been a glad main since glads launch(or around then) all he really needs is HA beating deflects*, stun on bash, and the reintroduction of the knock down on OOS toe stab. obviously damage adjustments would be needed, like bleed damage and heavy finisher damage, but those seem like small changes that would be easy to implement. *if no changes were to be made to the ability to beat HA on deflect at least give us the ability to trade, something like a fourth of the skewers damage turned into direct damage followed by bleed so we can actually have a choice when defending against HA. its incredibly annoying to try and go for deflects when a large portion of the common roster has easy access to HA mid chain (why does orochi get special treatment with their deflect, it makes no sense) glads current state is a significantly better than where he was before his rework, but that being said i would be lying if i said i had more fun with the glad we currently have.

Someone needs to steal for honor off ubisoft's hands

I say bring back the oblivions grasp armour for good I love the look but started playing too late to get it and it would complete my glads look other than that I do love the toe stab unbalance so that would be nice again

8:33 how did that hit you lol

Ubisoft trying to make everything "competitive" pisses me the fck off,taking away all the good sht so 70% of the players can't have fun.

Woah you're still alive.

Sol I'm just saying...those some mighty fine looking toes

Say it with me everyone. Remove reflex guard

Your audio cuts out around the 2:45 mark

Like they care about what we want. Slowing the UI Is a sign of not caring. Not fixing Tiandi's feats Is another (still unfixed btw) This about gladiator Is another... Apparently those who are in charge are inepts

make the skewer just severe them in half pls and thanks Ubisoft

Yo.. you're glad is very close to mine.

Glaaaaaddddiatorrerr

We need new beach and dom maps

Lower the deflect damage but let it break hyper armor

That med-jay clip is a reason why im convinced that hyper armor is the most dumb and boring feature of for honor.

THE BOX

I've always felt with For Honors balance patches, it seemed like the devs actually played the game. Which is normally a good thing, right? Not really. If the devs are good at the game, then yes, it's good because the can easily what is and isn't a problem and what only needs minor adjustments and what needs major adjustments or revamps. If the devs are bad at the game, then no, they'll just nerf/remove anything that frustrates them in their own games and never look back. I remember launch For Honor when Peacekeeper dominated every aspect of the game. Then they nerfed her. Then nerfed her again. Then added characters who did her job better. Then nerfed her again. Now she's basically never seen anywhere. I really want them to just leave For Honor alone and focus entirely on For Honor 2. The game being 5 years old now, I refuse to believe they don't have a sequel in mind and I really hope they don't just pull an Overwatch 2 on everyone.

I literally can't fight against gladiators. They fuck me every single time. I just don't know how to do it. It feel like absolutely every move is a 50/50 and I just have to guess.

Lmao the humble bragging on solid is real

i love you papa sol

I personally hate the glad rework. It feels like they watered down his kit, and I put in the effort to learn a character with an originally high skill cap. Who else remembers when glad had the most satisfying max punish in the game?

Is it just me or did he change the thumbnail?

Does anyone know what music plays at 7:10 ? P.S. it is ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dEHjavM9Zi4.html

Pringles can

I miss toe stab fall downs too man. 🥲

Kinda concerned for the state of the game but it is what it is

I say again-the best part of the new endgame UI is playing on old gen consoles just to see the countdown jump from 44 seconds to 38 as the game freezes and tries to shut down

At the time removing toe stab was the good call as even my average ass could abuse to shit outta it, but after the stamina changes I think they can return it without it being op. Here's hoping for season 4 or year 7 they make some more quality of life improvements.

Honestly, the more they make this game competitive, the worse it gets. TF2 still has a competitive scene because it’s casual mechanics are amazing and well balanced(mostly) and the game is hilarious. It’s heartbreaking that pirate of all heroes has a hollow personality with her moveset, heroes should feel like we plucked them from their time to FH’s age, the last hero we’ve gotten with any actual personality is Warmonger, and she’s basically just Apollyon with a dominatrix fetish. Medjay just grunts at you in vaguely Egyptian, Kyoshin is an emo, Gryphon is nowhere near his sexy counterpart, and Pirate is an abomination that was purely developed for competitive and then became B tier in duels because parry flash is still a thing.

Gladiator is my main. I like him cause his whole attitude is like he had a crowd watching him. His fashion is hit or miss for me. I'm pretty Glad he is isn't awful

I do miss the toe stab….glad is my favorite I love his flow his fashion everything about him.
