Back-stab: how to?

[Sai-Kahn]

I'm having trouble pulling of the back-stab move. Can anyone offer any advice on how to do this apparently "vital" strike?

From a standing or crouching position, as long as there is someone behind you, press back and attack simultaneously. In medium and strong you spin around slashing, in light it is a stab that must be aimed with a bit more precision.

 

It is a very easy move: to practice, knock someone on their behind, turn 180 degrees and press back and attack, or spectate a 1.03 game; it is constantly performed now that direct saber combat is fairly ineffectual (though you could do it with equal ease in 1.02).

 

One request, please do not run around backwards, or back into crowds spamming this move; it is really getting silly

[Sai-Kahn]

My thanks.

 

I must say, that i never really used back-stab before. Then again, I never spammed DFA before either. But with 1.03, saber combat has developed a certain....random quality.

Sad but true.

 

Glad to help

i have heard that there is a script to where you can back stab even if the opponent is infront of you... and you can even jump with it.. it seems feasible because you can jump then lunge too..

The backstab script just flips you around when you are facing someone and does the move. The only problem with the script is that they have to be facing you head on for it to work. It is much easier to just do it yourself then use that script.
