DeTRiTiC-iQ Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 I've seen a few butterfly kicks before... You kinda run forwards, then move one leg round in front so you start to spin, then you jump but trying and actually be on your side, continue the spin and land upright. Hard to explain, cool move though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Janson SMR Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 Originally posted by Aiee Look, people, Lord Nodata went through the trouble of making animated gifs, showing the exact animations that this thread is about. Go and compare them with your ingame animations. Go look before posting a reply saying you've found it: ...Then just post them in this thread! Like this: Folks, that is the Butterfly Flip. If you see anything else, then it's not called "Butterfly". And Darth Maul was the only Jedi in Star Wars to execute this move thus far. So, it's Darth Maul-pattented. Not the official term, but that's how I consider it. Say it in that respect, and more people tend to know what we're referring to. And for the love of god, people, stop pointing your sticks back to the Medium Stance Special!!! That's an overhead flip with a downward slash or stab!!! THAT'S NOT THE FREAKIN' BUTTERFLY!!! Jeeze.... I feel so irritable today.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedith Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 maybe it's only possible in SINGLEPLAYER and not MULTIPLAYER? or this move is just for those NPCs to do????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Abbadon Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 Originally posted by MankaCat And sorry for over-reacting. I am a wushu student and see butterfly kicks all the time. I irrationally assumed everyone should know what I know. And we all know that won't likely happen any time soon I'm with you on this. I am in martial arts as well and am iritated about that comment. I'll have to see if I can find someone at the dojo who can do this on video. Maybe you might be able to get someone to digitally record you doing it instead MankaCat?

RpTheHotrod Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 Spent about half an hour trying different things with another player in the game...but could not seem to figure out how the butterfly works. Tries with sabre, without, light/medium/heavy stances. Nada perhaps it was a "forgotten" move they never fully implemented...but it was still in the files.

grandmasterlee Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 The Butterfly kick was patented by Shaolin Monks 500 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Janson SMR Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 They weren't in Star Wars. We all saw Darth Maul do it. Putting the move in his name helps other people to realize what it is. Saying it's a monk's from 500 years ago won't help someone figure out what we're talking about. But when we say, "When Darth Maul does this...", then it hits them. Monks can flip until they're blue in the face. As far as I'm concearned, this is Darth Maul's move for the Star Wars Universe, not in real life respect.

grandmasterlee Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 You can roleplay and say its "The Darth Maul" move. But what you don't understand is that people that hold martial arts in high regard find it offensive to connect a technique to a Star Wars character. It's a matter of respect. Take another example: The tea ceremony in the Karate Kid (off the top of my head.) That ceremony is very sacred and has a great deal of history behind its development. To talk about it as "the Miyagi tea drink combo" would be a little indignant as well. But I do understand your point that its easier to explain what a Butterfly kick is to people by referencing Darth Maul. I think those animations people posted of it are sweet.

Wes Janson SMR Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 Originally posted by ZeroXcape I received an e-mail earlier today from someone who said he was messing around with the code and found a way to bind certain animations to certain keys. Aside from the butterfly, he said he could also feign death (like in TFC) and do cart wheels at will. When we get the info (assuming Raven doesn't plan on patching this issue) - we'll release it on the site. We're still waiting, Zero... How much longer are you guys gonna take?

Anyway, I've seen this move demonstrated by an entire class of students of Shaolin Kung Fu. It's nothing new to the world of Martial Arts (I'm studying, myself), but it is to Star Wars. And guess who was the first dude to do it in a Star Wars movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell Raiser Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 I'm 100% sure nobody meant any disrespect to anybody, when they label it "Darth Mauls pattented butterfly spinny thingie of doom" Its just that the vast majority of people on these boards know that Darth Maul performed that move, and when someone says "Darth Mauls butterfly kick" the vast majority will know what that person is talkin about.

Crease Posted April 14, 2002 Author Share Posted April 14, 2002 Sent an e-mail to Raven a bit ago, so hopefully they will respond and end this discussion for us. It is my suspicion that the move was not meant to be in multiplayer and if it did appear, it was some kind of bug brought out by button mashing. But, we shall see.

Emon Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 You should be able to do the butterfly and cartwheel in both SP and MP. They don't give you much of advantage, they are really just another manuever, but it looks damn cool. As far as effectiveness goes, it's probably not even as effective as the roll. The main reason I could see keeping this out is because you'd have to bind two extra keys, one for a cartwheel, one for the butterfly. Since they wouldn't be too effective, and are just for show, having two more keys doesn't seem a big deal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7-7ighlander Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 I *think* I´ve done the butterfly in SP when trying to do the medium hackdown special. Try the medium hackdown special some times with different timing of keys and check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmasterlee Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 Wes- Darth Maul is played by the first actor in the Star Wars series to actually be a martial artist. He's the same guy that plays the toad in X-men, he's badass. For Shaolin (and Wushu) devotees the butterfly kick is a walk in the park, its too bad we can't do it in game though It would be really cool if the devs would let us know adding new moves is not only possible but planned for multiplayer.
