The History of Type Souls Most Hated Skill Tree...

most annoying part about hakuda is that it just ISNT fun to fight, wether you're getting stomped and one comboed, or parrying all their uplifts and they run while trying to regen reiatsu, drawing out the fight.

Parried every hakuda combo starter and still lost💀

Hakuda is like guns in deepwoken, Both dont belong in the game and will never work

The cooldowns are nonexistent, the player gets wayy too much leeway in terms of timing for their moves (u get too long between moves to decide), its the only skill tree with a special ""mode"" thing (shunko if ur sr), you get to delete someones hp for free with no effort. And the combo starter hitboxes are sometimes ridiculous.

new leaked hakuda rework combo demon flip m2 -> rising dragon -> misogi -> axe kick -> snap ignis

Idc about hakuda but the thing that always annoys me is when they outright cancel most hyper-armor moves when in the air. Then the game has a problem with lingering hitboxes which causes you to be dragged across the map when you're nowhere near them.

I like the idea of a hakuda being grounded although idk if it needs a rework. In my opinion the thing that makes hakuda so strong is that when in the air you have only 1 option to defend, which is parry, while when grounded fighting mostly anything else you cant block, parry, dodge/flashstep out of combos. Considering that parrying is not as easy in this game and also the fact that flashsteping out of combos is much more effective this is a problem. Take speed and hakuda for example, lots of people say "hakuda is just 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 combos" and then hakuda defenders will argue the same thing. But the difference between hakuda and speed is the fact that with hakuda your oponent is planted infront of you and not given the ability to move or escape your combos guarenteeing that your move will hit unless they parry, but if they miss a parry they get fucked. While with speed there is no combo that cannot be blocked, parried or dodged out of and combos aren't guarenteed to hit so players can whiff the move entirely. TL;DR - Hakuda should be grounded, it'd make it much more fair.

Also the fact that if you re not on good ping you automatically lose 💀

cant wait for the hakuda rework air combos feel too restricting

While i do agree that not everyone should have true variants, the game does make everyone NEED true variants to be PvP viable. Fighting without being a vastocar, vizard, or letz user is much harder than being someone with them, let alone the true variants, which for the longest time werent even obtainable. The devs made a lot of strong things accessable recently but havent bothered balancing them at all. Im hoping the new balance team will see the issues that not only plague moves, but combat as a whole. For instance, Kido builds simply are not fun to fight against. Certainly you can beat them. Parrying or blocking their moves isnt too hard to do. But having fun vs them? Hardly possible. Nothing is intense or fast paced about chasing someone who runs as far as possible just to use another move so they can run again. Hakuda players put people in combos so long that they are forced into a skill check if they dont want to get greened. I think that is a great way of designing a skill tree. Hakuda is not conventionally bad, but it also lacks high killing power IF someone can parry. Unlike Kido, which promotes passive play and rewards people who run away, Hakuda promotes skillful engages and mindful management of when/if/can you block and dodge. Kendo is similar, albeit not as combo-string focused as Hakuda, with plenty of one-off moves to use in neutral. Kendo is a mixed bag in that sense, not needing to be too active or passive, and it has the gap closing abilities and movement shutdown potential to be VERY strong when you use it well. Speed is the most mundane of the 3. Unless you run a hybrid kendo/speed or hakuda/speed build, odds are you play almost identically to other speed players. Speed has few mixups, few true confirms, and okay damage, while it mainly relies on people not knowing if/when they can parry or dodge. In a sense, it is hakuda with more range. Because of this, many speed players do what noob hakuda players do, spam moves. They dont think about timing or place to actually use their moves, they just use them. People genuinely get surprised when they do the same speed combo everyone else does and they get parried. I am by no means some kind of parry demon. But even a toddler learns if they experience something enough. With all that said, my main issues with each tree are the following: Hakuda - while the combos do require some amount of skill (timing and knowledge of if you can use a move as a confirm) to perform and the damage is fair relatively to how well you use it, Hakuda doesnt really fit the pace of Type Soul. Air combos and long strings ARE fun to do and ARE cool gimics, but they simply dont feel like they are in the right game. The devs should definitely rework hakuda do have more competence on the ground (hakuda is literally buns on the ground save for 2 moves), while all other trees function very well on ground Kendo - This is very balanced when alone, but with certain elements for shikai/res/volt it becomes unbalanced. Benehime has some pretty nasty confirms and does good damage on kendo builds because of the stun time, but on something like Zangetsu it performs relatively fairly (still good cause kendo is good). The devs need to do what theyve done before and implement a global cd for some of the shikai element moves that are true into combos starters in addition to confirming big damage. With all that said, kendo is probably the most fair skill tree in the game. You can block/dodge/parry your way out of any kendo user if you are good enough, and you can beat anyone with a kendo build if youre good enough (sounds dumb, "if youre good, you win"). Kido - Ugh, runners. I think everyone dislikes kido, but for different reasons. Personally, i hate fighting someone whose entire builds consists of doing a bala drive into a bala barrage with a hollow bite, and then running away and using cero scourge when youre close into a cero salvo to knock you away. Or a Qkido user who decides to use any of the 12 ranged moves to do a single total bar of damage, then call me bad at the game for parrying their moves. Or a SRKido who has 3 different stuns, each with a low CD. The damage on kido isnt even that crazy, kido doesnt have any huge damage confirms like kendo/hakuda, and overall is excellent at pestering people. I played a lot of kido on all different races to get a general feel for it and can confidently say its fun to use and play against. As much as i hate people doing it to me, spamming 12 moves and running in circles around someone is actually pretty fun. That aside, the only adjustment kido needs is more GCDs for all moves, and make GCDs longer for moves that stun for a long time (i can use Geki and the SRKido skillbox move to freeze someone for 7 seconds with literally 0 counterplay). Speed - Speed is kinda bland. All i want out of speed is more moves/variants for moves. Hakuda has air variants, why not make speed have variants. Perhaps have move combos, like using the move that makes a bunch of you dash around someone + using flash fang makes a bunch of parriable slashes appear. idk man. Speed is the tree ive played the least cause ts is just boring. Medic - People actually use this? I had a hard time finding and using strong true combos and with the high stat investment required, its hard to make hybrid builds with medic actually work. Honestly, pretty balanced now. Medics entire gimmic is to just steal all your rei and not die, which is very preventable. Losing to a medic player is bot behavior. Hybrid builds - These. Are. Nasty. Truly a stinky, unloved gamer build. I used a single Arrancar hakuda + kido build and felt like a horrible person. This is mainly because the devs focus on well known builds for nerfs, so they rarely nerf builds with weird stat splits. Arrancar hakuda, even after some nerfs, is STILL crazy. And dont even get me started on Arrancar hakuda + high speed builds. As seen in this vid AND as ive fought in ranked, those builds are nasty with the confirms. Talking some crazy combos using Grand Entrance into literally anything to confuse anyone youre fighting. Despite how good hybrid builds are, they actually do make me happy to fight. They are always a unique reminder that while not always competant, you CAN make any build you want and you CAN make it work with some effort. I applaud anyone that tries to genuinely make a unique build with how filled to the brim the game is with metamancers screaming in your ears. And I think this brings me to my main hope for type soul. I hope they add more inter-tree skills like how shunko needs dif stat investments. It encourage creative builds and prevents me from fighting the same boosted kendo/hakuda/speed/kido build idiot who thinks my build is unfair/braindead regardless of how well i played. Please feel free to respond and tell me how YOU feel each tree is bad/good/needs to change. Why is something braindead?

I would say that Hakuda is really good but I just say that because i cant parry it too well. I am a speed main and try getting close, they run, then teleport to me then air combo

what other skill tree locks you into place making the only possible escape a perfect dodge of perfect parry

thing is hakuda is a parry check, and you can go the entire game winning fights without being particularly good at parrying, something that you kinda do in a clutch moment when you cant sacrifice the posture from a block, but you HAVE to parry hakuda or you just lose.

gotta say KIDO is not even at its 2nd strongest. QKIDO & SRKIDO have pretty much just been eating nerfs. (keep in mind pre-pre-nerf qkido licht did crazy damage, reishi tipped existed, less reiatsu usage and srkido had more stun, way less reiatsu usage too, and just flat out did more damage and even had more blockbreaks) Pretty much all trees are nerfed down though(minus akido&healing stayed neutral). hakuda is the most punishing tree while being far less punishable, hakuda moves easily chain into each other >A blockbreak in a Hakuda combo or at the start of one easily results in losing 1,5 bars(gotta consider the average hakuda move is not really vertical down split gate level speed), especially if they have crazed blitz and something to extend after it.

The thing that I hate about hakuda is that I stay in the air for too long, while I get comboed by an hakuda user when I want to flash step away we both stay in the air for like one second and a half like theres no gravity

Hakuda is shit for me because of one simple thing IT DOES NOT FIT THE GAME. Kendo, the Kidos and Speed are all grounded skill trees who are focused basically on how well you can string moves and position yourself. Hakuda has an unblockable teleporter with little to no wind up and no sound queue. You WILL get juggled in the air if your opponent is good with little to no way of getting out (oh but you can parry and block and dodge. Try doing that with a fucker using Ice.) Hakuda could be interesting if it didn't air people and if it followed the basics of the other skill trees like positioning.

hakuda is the best tree, good dmg, tp moves, good combos (1,2,3,4), a lot of blockbreaks, defense moves, counter, stun, etc. is the best one, and with the rerelease hakuda got a greatly reduced skill cooldowns. Maybe they can increase the cooldown and fix the air time bugs. But i think the best option is rework the skill tree and make it like kendo but with fists. the air mechanic is soo bug and not fair.

Usually beating hakuda is really easy for me. I learned this after I used hakuda for myself and learned all the counters to the moves. However, fighting a GOOD hakuda player is actually really hard to beat. Idk what really even changes mix-ups maybe? but whatever the case is we should buff arrankido :D.

actually there WERE essences which were scream essence for speed skill tree kirohitsugi and mugetsu essence for shinigami kido destruction and fang essence (my main) for arrancar hakuda glory essence for speed and few more i dont rly remember but yea these were main essences

My only problem with hakuda is how many of the moves are telegraphed similarily which makes it hard to know when to parry because I have no clue what skill is being used.

Type soul Players when they realize their keyboard have the letter f

Hakuda turns the most mediocre players to good players there’s no reason why a grade 1 should take 2 bars from me (I’m also just a skill issue and can’t parry for shit)

they just need to rework it so it's not air based it's unfair that once they mess up you can't punish them and have to wait till the stun is over to do anything. (still don't know where they got the air combos from I have watched the anime and the only "air combos" is just normal fighting but they using air walk)

spine rend doesn't have hyperarmor on the ground, crazed blitz doesn't have hyperarmor in the air. It's a trade off. It also does 1/3 of a bar while taking nearly half a bar of the users reiatsu. The move is not that crazy when you have other essences that do an entire bar like horizon.

UBER ONI???? WERE FINISHED 💀

I use hakuda sometimes and I have no idea why they would make a ground based rework if there are a ton of moves that have air and ground variants which was wat made the skill tree unique

for bad players its op for good players its terrible and for everyone in between its just fucking annoying

I miss the days of deepwoken videos u were my fav deepwoken ytber

everyone says just parry and yet parrying hakuda moves can be so confusing at times, basically everyone also says if you play hakuda for a bit then youll be able to stomp hakuda users, which might be true idk ive never used hakuda but thats genuinely an issue if you need to play something before having any idea how to counter it properly

If you can parry you beat every HAKUDA player if the player is horrid they get insta killed

Hi Reaconteur! Same guy that said they copied your arrancar build and am still enjoying it! I decided to use a free skill box that I had lying around in storage and got strata strike, I know you aren't a fan of them but its actually a pretty good one for your build overall. Flash fang works too but its a lil iffy when used in air similar to waterfall dance or floating strikes. Just thought I'd reach out and let you know and if you decide to try it out for yourself, I'd love to hear your thoughts! Thanks!

Hakuda is just a noob stomper, once you learn it it gets super easy to beat

I don’t lose against hakuda Users a lot because the starting moves are very easy to parry/counter but the damage from hakuda is actually insane

these newgens wouldnt LIVE in old type soul, hakuda was the most busted thing ever and nano prodigy made a 100-0 combo WITHOUT SKILLBOXES

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. Hakuda has 2 main problems. 1. Extremely low cooldowns. 2. Every move looks almost the exact same on startup. Half the time parrying hakuda is just guessing which move comes out.

45 seconds no views reaconteur falloff must be studied

Thing is, you miss one parry and mistake it for a block, and most your posture bar is filled up. Hakuda is mainly block breaks and if you mess-up then you're fucked

I agree that kido, is in its strongest state, except for arrancarkido which is unusable, the rei cost + moves not working properly makes it piss poor

The only defense for hakuda people have is just "parry it bro" assuming that every hakuda player sucks like the people who complain about it even tho you physically cant parry an even just above average hakuda user who delays their moves and still does 2.5-3 bars per combo

For those since the first day, i remember hakuda had a pre rework version, how was it?(I never got to use it so i dont know if it had air variants)

Tbh, hakuda it's not op vs pro players, but the problem is that every new player use hakuda and news players vs new players with hakuda = boring game

How to get Good at Hakuda Kido Hybrid Arrancar: Why are you reading this you don’t gotta get good to use it

not even joking seconds before this video i was playing ranked hakuda and just spammed and won without taking a bar of damage

I've always hated kendo and kido the most since i never really get caught in a hakuda combo and it's really just avoidable, also most hakuda users i see are just buns and always lose.

Thumbnail reminds me of the "History of Clash Royale cards" series by Gratz

POV: you’re on a parry based game and you cant parry or hyperarmor//dash away out of an hakuda combo (litteraly bait their spine rend first)

my only problem is that it jus does a ridiculous amount of damage to anyone that's not an arrancar, either buff defensive options or give it a flat 5-10% dmg reduction. anything more is gonna gut the tree tbh, but well see what they cook with the rework.

i hate it because instead of being comboed on the floor its happening in the air

i play on controller so blocking and parry is about 3 times harder making it aids to play against

Hakuda is worse when paired with death dealing, since you know...there's no flash stepping allowed.

I think hakuda is annoying that’s it. Love your video Rayconster

Ima be honest, i still hate qkido more then hakuda

Lose to hakuda because you can't parrry? I can block 5 stupid kido moves and cannot block a single hakuda move. That shit is no fair especially when this game's parry window is legit a hair thick

bone was never weak tho that stuff was always good rn it is kinda gutted

fire vid, u should now do the history of the most hated race (quincy)

Hakuda K till my vizard mask decays

Lets Be real here. Light Hakuda Is Overused. Its the Best Boss Raid Mythic. And i ended up having to deal with Mode Havers and Gank Specialist now. Ooooo the Misery is deep D:

i don't have much trouble with hakuda, but i feel like rework is needed cuz it doesn't feel like it belongs here, it's like aba gameplay that was inserted into a non air combo combat game, if it's still gonna be combo based but in the ground, i think it will be more organic.

the calamity soundtrack is a w

Facing Hakuda on console is a nightmare but I can see wat u mean

A hakuda do their full combo and take half your health and by the time they finish their moves are ready to continue and do another full combo again

Essences came out towards the end of type souls downfall and the essences back then were entirely different

i think its too strong not bec its hard to counter, i indeed do have an f key and do agree its not difficult to parry it. it just deals way too much dmg (especially grimmjow claws for arrancar but thats a different story). sometimes i dont get comboed once in an entire match, and still somehow lose due to singular moves still dealing really high dmg. i do like that its getting reworked

What's the music playing at the very beginning of the video? I know it's from Super Mario Galaxy

You served girth with this one unc

I don’t find hakuda broken but I hate fighting it as being placelocked in the air even if it’s easy to parry after makes the movement heavy smooth PvP very clunky

Hakuda rework actually sounds interesting

most poeple try to rush to parry or hold block as a hakuda user u gotta pay attention to the kills liek must people dont try to parry negation

reacontussy

Essence existed back then kind of but they were called cores instead of essences

HakudaK till my soul flys away HakudaK till my soul flys away HakudaK till my feet fly away

the thing is fuck hakuda its so annoying this is legit the 10th time i met hakuda in a row in gold let me out god fucking dammit

Hakuda takes the most skill in my opinion

wind shunko users...

Hakuda is a parry trial

Really great video

Im alright at fighting hakuda its just when i fight a wind shunko with they no cooldown no startup midrange move which starts a combo do i get mad.

Setro is right, Hakuda is THE weakest tree in the game.

I hate when u upload so now i gotta end my edge streak

Idt haluda is too op, it's just too... unique for the game rn

THE STORM NERFS WILL NEVA HOLD ME DOWN🗣️🗣️⚡️🌩️

tbh i just dont like hakuda cuz i cant parry. its not that i have a skill issue, its just that my pc is too bad to parry hakuda combos and i feel like the more combo based this game gets the more parry based it gets which isnt very good for eu players (specifically people like me who live across from germany) or ppl with shit pcs. i generally average like 70 - 110 ping in type soul which makes it literally impossible to parry without it just being luck. i dont care for a hakuda rework i just want a slight parry rework.

I think hakuda needs a bit of buffs cuz some of the moves are just absolute cheeks, I play it as sr and it just doe s no dmg at all

been hakuda main since my birth

hakuda crit alone kills u bro i parry every hakuda start up but find myself loosing a bar per uptilt

hearing its gonna be like uber oni got me really stocked on the tree, as hakuda main (semi masters last season) in its current state i feel like its could still work in high ranks but only if you rock the best builds there is to offer and play expenentially well againest your opponent

Im so hyped for the rework. Hakuda is like op, against bad players, and tradh against good players. I always had trouble against the good players cs i never could land even a single combo, i would just get parried over and over. Against the terrible players it was extremely easy to combo them tho

Honestly i feel like they need to rework progression, hear me out now. Everyone knows the progression is pretty ass, depending on what you are like an arrancar its literally just spam quests it ss and grip a shinigami alt. I feel like a proper progression will have you go throughout the game and through the progression you will be faced with new things and mechanics like some npcs being hakuda so you have to fight against it even a bit before max rank. Yeah most new players dont know how to fight against it cause its likely the first time they EVER see hakuda and its when they are max rank They should probably also rework the inconsistent parry system and hotboxes lol

Wait till the hakuda mains come here trying to defend their precious 😂

how do u not get bored of using the same build

legit even if u parry the dmg hakuda does is more than normall

i don't think it's that busted but a hakuda rework sounds cool

Just nerf the goddamn damage and everyones jappy except the hakuda users

1:40, I remember the days of speed just being a straight up better kendo

been hakuda since flash fang into fast fang was true and quincies didnt have shrift #hakudalovertillidie

It’s literally soo stupid. Why does the fight have to be in the air?Once they take you up, your only option is to defend. And parrying it in the air doesn’t even reward you back probably.😂

Hollow knight music is fire

Why you dont use the third stark move?

kendo is grounded hakuda
