RpTheHotrod Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I am an EXTREMELY experienced veteran to outcast and academy...but the other day, a friend of mine stumbled across a move with staff that I have NEVER seen ANYONE do. He figured out how to do it, and showed me as well. With staff, you jump extremely high in the air, flip mid air, and swing your saber over your head, then land hard (where you cant move for a second). It RARELY ever hits....since it's rare to hit someone in the air that high, but if it hits, it does 60-70 damage. I find it more useful to quickly move out of the way of a butterfly or red DFA. If you do it standing still, they'll pass right under you and you'll land behind them. It sorta looks like you're flip-kicking mid-air as well. gimmie a couple of minutes and I'll make an .avi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mex Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I done that move once! Shame I can't remember how to do that again. I think I pressed back + jump + mouse button 1... Something along the lines of that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lathain Valtiel Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Just to check, how DO you do it? I wouldn't know because I stick to single religiously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RpTheHotrod Posted December 19, 2003 Author Share Posted December 19, 2003 Yeah, I figured someone would have to throw in an sarcastic insult, and g//plaZma is the one. DUH...why ask again, I ALREADY SAID I NEVER SAW IT BEFORE. As for how...it's just like the butterfly, but instead of fowards, left, or right, it's back. back, jump, then attack.

Master William Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I knew this from day one. I've actually won two duels with that move, I executed the trick while he was jumping, but it was pure coincidence, I just did it, and he just happened to be on top of me while I was doing it.

DarthCobra Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Since the patch, I've notice this move done while someone is jumping at you produces a 1hit kill often. Good thing no1's figured this out or use's it much. (would just be more crap for this unbalanced lame staff ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Fisher Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Yeah, I um, also knew of that since day one, but I've never tried to use it. How do you use it effectivly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpTheHotrod Posted December 19, 2003 Author Share Posted December 19, 2003 If someone happens to be way up in the air....just do it and let them run into you...but how often are they way up in the air... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpTheHotrod Posted December 19, 2003 Author Share Posted December 19, 2003 Originally posted by g//plaZma ... It's in the moves list. and your point is? other than continuing trying to insult me? You can go on as much as you want, but the fact is....I've never seen it used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can go on as much as you want, but the fact is....I've never seen it used. I'm not trying to insult you, I'm just trying to prove that it is a widely known move, as Raven included it on the moves list. It's just not used a lot since its use is not practical. I'm sorry if I looked like I was insulting you, I just thought that by now it would be known to most people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 You mean the "Back Flip" ? I swear that was even in the game's documentation, but I could be wrong. Anyway, yeah, it's a fancy move that uses no force mana. Good for escapes, but rarely hits. Though it's capable of cutting a jumpy person in half. <eg> ; ) Update: don't sweat it. A lot of people don't read the readme, manual or the in-game video help. They just figure moves out on their own, which is why we have people asking how to do moves... Or they get confused between SP and MP and ask why moves don't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpTheHotrod Posted December 19, 2003 Author Share Posted December 19, 2003 I have people ingame asking me all the time how I do it. It's not commonly known to most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobz1 Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Originally posted by |GG|Crow_Nest Ha! Finally, a way to counter the red DFA and butterfly. thx. ...I read a lot of people having trouble with the red DFA - but it really isn't that big of a deal. 1- Take two steps to either side so it misses. 2- Perform #1 and then side swipe to counter. 3- If you're really quick - perform #1, then run behind and backstab them.
