Darth Ripley Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 In my opinion throw and kick blast away general saber combat now. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tempest8008 Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 If someone wants to kick me, I back off or sidestep. You have to be completely clueless and have NO idea what is going on to fall for it. Protect still defends well against saber throw, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitzwilliamd Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 Unfortunately, it appears that kick and throw are more efficient than skilled general combat. I would add that, back attack is more effective than the former. ________________________________ Testing with a player that is usually better than I (Note: in 1.02 the man is an artist with the saber—no cheap moves from him kiddies) First combat: I slipped in under his heavy swing and timed a Forward Lunge perfectly (hit), changed to medium, rolled away from his overhead swing, forward flipped rotating in air, raking a yellow strike against his back (hit); he switched to light and flurried towards me; backing up, I switched to Heavy and Backward+Strafe+Attacked diagonally in his midsection (hit) [this continued for 10 more minutes in a similar fashion] … tired, I asked aggregate shield and health damage? … he responded, 'shields gone I have 97 health… why am I not dead? You were a'groovin'' Second combat He kicked and threw his saber until I died while I taunted due to lack of interest Third combat Weary, I pulled and Back+Attack (1 Hit- Dead) Fourth combat Still has not happened, we got bored and ran off to play CTF quake 3 … Skill and timing are not being rewarded in this patch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
