I think one parry covers all highs and mids. Thats why everyone is complaining over on DOAworld
Eliot nerf or not?

Yeah so wouldnt the smart thing to do is hit low or bait him into hitting his parry or even grab.

That sounds pretty stupid, it just makes Eliot a scrubby character. I'm all him getting guaranteed stuff off of a parry but one parry that eliminates all attacks except lows is just dumb. The Eliot player should be rewarded for playing well not just given a tool that trashes 90% of the attacks in the game.

Yeah well its kinda a double edged sword. Because most Elliot players will rely on it so just keep low hitting, grabbing and baiting for the parry. It should be enough damage so they will stop relying on parrying since those hits will either be counter strikes/holds and even hi counters ones. Im glad Kasumi and Christie dont have parries like that because i know i would be spamming those out like no other, and that normally gets be killed with high leveled players.

Not surprising, most of the DOAW community doesn't know much about the actual gameplay and mechanics.
But no, his parries shouldn't be nerfed at all lol. That's really dumb, since Eliot isn't very good in the first place. If anything I think they should be buffed...

Fuck no! Eliot deserves the buffs he got, there is no reason to nerf him at all! The scrubs at DOAW can go fuck themselves with that BS. I hope TN doesn't lurk around those forums, the last thing they need is bad feedback. I personally like the fact his parry covers both highs and mids, and i think any character that can parry should have this. Even if it can be abused/overused, it can also be punished just as much if you're reckless. It's a tool that should be feared but also used wisely.
like i said they were freaking out cause they heard Dogg call him broken.after constant debates of telling them that Dogg is someone that knows what hes doing id be disappointed if they didn't take him seriously.

Why would you think this? His parries work the same way as they do in DOA4, now he gets guaranteed launchers from them. Eliot is fine, he's linear, strings are easily seen, and his launchers are still the same so he is crippled in that department. Don't get me wrong, he is top tier as he is now, you just need to figure out ways around him. Lopedo did it just fine.
Thinking is free. I wonder when people will figure that out.

They misunderstood. Eliot has 2 parries, 1 that does all highs and 1 that does all mids. Both give him enough advantage to get a free launcher. He's top tier because he basically has a 3-point hold that gives him a free combo for more damage than most other character's holds.
He's not overpowered, but he destroys characters who don't have a strong throw game, good low attacks or a good sidestep attack. You need at least two of those options to stand even with a solid Eliot player.
He doesn't need to be nerfed, but he is really good.

Dude but you gotta admit that when it comes to gameplay talking, DOAW is not very good. They're very fast with leaks and bikini pictures in super hires but don't expect good convos about gameplay mechanics over there. I post here and lurk there and like both sites but the truth is there.
Now, for the Eliot thing, nerfing him would be extremely retarded. I'd rather have all characters buffed to his level or simply learn how to overcome his parries and 9-frame palm. I'm actually really happy to see him as one of the most powerful characters in the game. I hope TN doesn't do anything bad to him because of the ignorant opinion of the casual players.
Buff everyone.

Well thats good thats been clarified... I seriously thought he had only one that parries both highs and mids from watching the streams the other day and i thought it might be a bit too much...
Just out of curiosity assuming lei fang still got her parries from neutral how much advantage does she get? Anything guarranteed? Or hitomi from her punch parries
