Countering the Pull and backswing move (any style)

I've been playing 1.03 for the last few days now and I really enjoy it. But very now and then I see a user log in to a game I'm enjoying and it turns out their style is to kick you when they are out of force and to pull you, turn their back and use the backswing to one shot kill you. Now I know this is a legit move and it does take skill. But why do I feel so robbed all the time? I'm not the best player but I generally win more than I lose against other styles.

 

So what sorta counters are there to this move? I've tried pushing away the kicks but they come too quick for that to work. Avoiding them seems the best way so far (just strafe like crazy I guess lol). But it's him pulling me to his feet to backswing me I can't figure out. I tried force absorb but when it's on just retreats and waits for it to wear out. Plus it seems I get pulled even if I'm standing still and not attacking, blocking force pulls/pushes seems random (if not tell me how!). Then I'm on the ground, totally defenseless and only luck sees me up in time before I see the dreaded back of my opponent and a sabre coming that's impossible to block. Usually I can be 120hp and 25shields and I'm still good as dead.

 

Anyway, sorry if this sounds like a whine. I'm cool with the move like I said but if there is no way to really counter this style then I'm going to say it's cheap (I know many out there use it, but it seems unbalanced to me).

 

Maybe a fix could be being able to use forces while on the ground? Seems like you'd be able to :).

 

Thanks for your time guys any help will be appreciated

i'd just like to ask, WHAT IS '1.03', this is worrying me. Today I couldn't get into my favourite server( Red Hand, Saber Only NF) because I needed 'Assets2'. helphelphelphelp:confused: Iknow there is Assets0 and Assets1 in the base dir., what is this Assets2? Do I need it to play now?

How to counter :

-always have some force

-stand still and face you opponent ( don t attack otherwise he ll pull ou and bam !!! you re dead )

-Absorb

-when you re down , kick jump or make a high jump

- mind trick

-DFA

-drain

-kicks ( cuz as long as you don t swing your saber , you ll not fall from his pull ( lvl 3 pull or push required though )

 

That all i know at the moment ... Hope that helps

the best way that I've found to get out of it is by kicking also....but after watching others a lot I've found that kicks combined with force protect will save your skin.

 

between absorb and now protect required for this new 'move du jour', its hard to find a dark jedi anymore. I honestly think the dark powers need a boost to encorage more people to play them now.
