im not too sure about this, but the block ability should maybe return

every neighbor would have it, and the block ability would make kids try to fight the neighbor less. if you hold the button for blocking, you will get slower and cant interact with things, cant jump, cant grab, cant pick up items, etc. the only thing you can do is crouch. he would do the animation similar to the animation from hn1 when you stun the neighbor, and you wont get stunned and will take damage when you get attacked, but much less until youre low hp, then you wont take any damage anymore (3 hp?) until healing again. a block ability would also allow for more abilities for the purpose of the neighbor not getting killed so often to not be added, which would also allow for more different abilites. theres also leftover voice lines for blocking, so it wouldnt be hard to inplement, and for guest you could just use some generic clicking sounds.

there might be better solutions to fix the kids grouping up and obliterating the neighbor, but i just came up with this.

#

a block ability wouldnt be op too since you still need to grab the kids and you need to go out of the block mode which still gives the kids some time to stun the neighbor

heavy moss For block like 3 secs

i think a cooldown wouldnt prevent the kids from killing the neighbor often

#

it would just take a bit more time to do so

if brave didnt get changed, the block wouldve been dumb, thats why i didnt suggest this before summer camp

#

Rage could be changed with block like if u alr have rage u can stack it once with block and if u unblock it unstacks unless u use it

This is a good idea, but if they add too much controls, controller players might be out of buttons.

I wouldn't mind this being added. It would change up gameplay a little. Still, at times, it seems a little useless. If the block slows down movement, it will be very hard for the Neighbor to escape without being pulverized during a retreat. It almost seems like a better strategy to just run away without the block enabled, with normal speed. I think the best way to fix the kids grouping up and obliterating the Neighbor is to add a unique chargeable rage for every Neighbor that would automatically activate after being hit a given amount of time. The difference is, Scary gets his Rage longer, runs faster, and can time when he wants to activate it.

#

If every Neighbor has a unique, less powerful version of defense similar to Rage, it makes games longer, more fun for Neighbor, and fixes the issue of most Neighbors (Especially Butcher and Guest) being overpowered by kids in group battles.

its not like the neighbor will move as slow as when carrying a bagger, its basically the same as the walking speed.

#

combined with not being stunned, it wont be hard escaping a group by going to a gate or bookcase

#

Block with a shied I say

spiral storm Oct 4, 2023, 1:19 PM

#

anyways, there would really be no point in fighting the neighbor if this would be added, especially the neighbors which already have good ways of escaping groups like ghost or guest

glad blaze Oct 4, 2023, 1:19 PM

#

Yes

#

I think the scary neighbor needs this

#

Or butcher

spiral storm Oct 4, 2023, 1:20 PM

#

btw, you will still get rage points when being hit in block mode

glad blaze Oct 4, 2023, 1:21 PM

#

So it must be better for the butcher

spiral storm Oct 4, 2023, 1:36 PM

#

yeah, butcher tends to be the one whos getting obliterated the most

Yeah, I know, but I'm worried that the damage being reduced rather than removed may make it harder to find safety. The block would best be used when 1. You have at least 50% health 2. You are completely out of stamina 3. You are close to a gate/bookcase. If any of these boxes are unchecked, you are at a disadvantage when using the block.

#

That is my only concern, and it is a fantastic idea. Even though it's usefulness is limited to certain circumstances, it would be a great addition to the game to have as an option in battle.

if i remember from the last time i checked the games files there is unused blocking sounds for the neighbor that were from the new voice actor that sn currently has so they could add blocking back at any point

then make it like an ability, and the cooldown will show whenevr you use it

#

this way it wont take up too many controls

i wanted him to still take only a bit of damage so that you still have the option to kill him, but it would take much of your time
