PurplWulf Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 I never set my push higher than level 2 for just that reason, I keep my push setting low so that when I knock someone down with it, they're still in reach for a finishing attack. the purple one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D66 Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 Hello, my name is D66 and I am a recovering Beserker It wasn't until a 2 hour Duel with one of my friends that I learned to actualy use timing and thought in my attacks. Combining all 3 stances in a perfect dance of death. A heavy opening strike, folowed by a possible medium special attack.. Some light-stance whips if my opponent is damaged or in the recovery after a heavy swing. The key is to change up your stances and use the right tool for the job.. Oh and that medium special does get a wonderful WTF from your oponnent when it lands correctly and tosses his lifeless corpse across the pit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi-Bert Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 i dont berzerk unless surrounded by enimies in which case i somtimes run away too most of the time i try to catch them while they are attacking by sidestepping and using the right hand medium slash for some reason i favor the right side when saber fighting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TasamBladefire Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 Bahaha. Berserkers are hilarious!!!! I was dueling one on the duel map inside Cloud City, and I about died from laughter. I rolled down my stairs onto the main platform, and bowed. When I looked up, the decapitated chicken-man was running/jumping/rolling/crouching in my general direction, his saber in light stance, swining the craziest ive ever seen. So I side-rolled twice, and got way behind him, and then drew my saber. He resumed his attack, and started swinging 10 paces away from me. But the dummy didnt even get to me, he fell in the pit. So I sheathed my saber, and looked down in the pit. He was STILL spinning around and around, attacking this way and that. So I just went afk for a few, to wait for him. 5 minutes later, he was back up, and attacking me, when I was afk. Luckily, he hadnt hurt me too bad (I was at 50), so I drew my saber, and flipped backwards to prepare myself. He continued his mad dance, so I rolled straight past him. He jumped in the air and did the special move for medium stance(I hadnt thought him smart enough to change his stance). Luckily, he was facing the opposite direction, and he was about 10 PACES AWAY! LOL. So I just walked up to him, and cut through the back of his neck with a strong swipe. What a MORON! LOL. I ended up going 10-0 vs. that crowd I think. (this was saber-only, no force-powers) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital_Ronin Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 You mean a slash from the right or to the right? Well, thing is: all models are right-handed, providing with them better cover for their right body half, because that is where the sword is in most neutral stances - but leaving them more open for attacks from their left in turn. Now, as an attacker it's their right and yes, it pays to prefer that 'weak' side. It's not MUCH of a difference, but it is a difference.

Jedi-Bert Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 to the right. probably because i am right handed. The heavy stance swing to the left is nice, tends to catch ppl in the head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_Overlord Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 I think, perhaps, that as people gain experience, the berserking will stop. If I'm wrong, then I'll enjoy whipping out the repeater and blasting them with the grenade while they dance around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Bakker Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 I can't be accused of that. My 56k falls over and dies when I try to play JKII online. D'oh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trienco Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 why the repeaters secondary? use the blaster, at least that way that die by a weapon that would never get through if they just stopped swinging around like an idiot for a second *gg* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCrusher Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 I usually stand still without attacking, just blocking their attacks. Eventually they will bump into your stationary sabre enough times and die. This doesn't work as well if they are spaz hacking with red stance.

Low Rent Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 beserking sucks...you see a bunch of people spinning around like a bunch of whirling dervishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiteche5 Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 I do the same thing. I just stay still or turn enough to face my openent and light up a cigarette. The yjust twirl and twirl right on to the saber. I think it's funny. Sometimes Iget a "WTF?" and then I try to tech them how to fight sensibly with the saber. The more you get people into playing with the saber properly the better the game is going to get online. So be open to people mmmkayyy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Seph Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 I watched my mate perform a classy reinactment of the Raiders of the lost Arc. The bit when the guy with the swords come out and puts on a show and Indiana just shoots the guy. Well on the server this guy stood in front of my mate dancing with his saber , my mate just pulled out the crossbow after watching him trying to impress him for about 2-3 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
