Jevesus Posted June 14, 2002 Posted June 14, 2002 sabrelocks are my friend because, well, i always win. always. i guess its quick fingers (which used to be far more useful in games 10+ years ago or so) in combination with a good mouse. so anytime i get a sabrelock, i smile, because i know the outcome beforehand. however, im not as good as taking advantage of my opponents falling to the ground as i am actually getting them to the ground. when having beaten someone down in a sabrelock, i usually go for the strong-stance forward+attack+jump combo (because the backstab is already overused in this game) but usually the opponent is outta there before i manage to plunge them. does anyone else have a better followup attack after having beaten an opponent down after a sabrelock? tips?
C'jais Posted June 14, 2002 Posted June 14, 2002 Turn off your saber while they're lying on the ground, you have already showed dominance by winning the saberlock. I usually just let them suffer on the ground, and sometimes even get a nod of approval or a minor "thx" for this gesture. BTW, since I'm left-handed I have a special technique of clicking on the mouse extremely fast, and also most of the time win my saberlocks. If you really wanted to hurt them while they're defenceless, I'd say you should stick with a normal saberswing or two. Or kick them silly
BigMexican Posted June 14, 2002 Posted June 14, 2002 close in, throw, medium downward slash. 60 dmg total, which is decent. i never win saberlocks though. i'd rather be on my back in the game than have to fork up another 80 bucks for a new mouse
Jevesus Posted June 14, 2002 Author Posted June 14, 2002 thanks for your tips, both of you. cjais: honorful, i guess. but that doesnt deplete their health ; ) i figure ive earned the right to chop them lying down by winning the sabrelock. bigmexican: throwing is an alternative, but probably the cheapest one. i guess there is a fine line to be drawn between an effective and a cheap move.
leXX Posted June 14, 2002 Posted June 14, 2002 I agree with cjais - just keep hitting while looking down at them!
BigMexican Posted June 14, 2002 Posted June 14, 2002 throwing isnt really cheap ... you can do the same amount of damage with a red overhead if you'd prefer ... but you wont be able to hit as often.
Twins of Doom Posted June 15, 2002 Posted June 15, 2002 just use a huge heavy stance slash w + attack and do it twice because the second strike is faster chances are this will kill them because one strike to an open opponent can take them down to about 10 damage even if they have 100 health and 25 shields
MediocreSlacker Posted June 16, 2002 Posted June 16, 2002 Hehe I usually win saber locks because I make my hand convulse like im having a seizure. I don't like to attack people when I have knocked them down after a lock, though. I think it's mean to do that. Plus my hand needs time to recover. P.S. Remember in 1.02 when you could turn off your saber during a saber lock? That was hilarious! slacker
leXX Posted June 16, 2002 Posted June 16, 2002 What's cheap about throwing? I don't see anything wrong with it!

I don't see anything wrong with it either....just allows you to hit em from a distance while they're on the ground...pretty much the same as attacking them on blue
MediocreSlacker Posted June 16, 2002 Posted June 16, 2002 Arg I hate saber throw. Some people's attitude is, "Why should I bother using the lightsaber to hit people with, when I could just throw it at them all the time?" I don't see how someone can think that killing people by saber throwing and putting their guard down with a pull is not cheap. Grrrr . . . . you're forced to roll all over and act like an idiot to avoid it. slacker
JaraDaj Posted June 16, 2002 Posted June 16, 2002 for once i'd like to read a post without the words; lame, cheap, cheat As a follow up do a kick, then a throw. Or if you really wanna piss em off, after they fall, walk to em taunting. But get ready to swallow your foot if they kill ya.
karismatik Posted June 16, 2002 Posted June 16, 2002 Haha, stand there and TwIrL your saber!!! Well... What I do (since i seem to have the same prob and be too slow to be reliable) is jus stand there and wait... Maybe strafe-circle around them like i might see a Jedi doing... If i take force heal or something and need to pump up my health, i might take the opportunity to do so, but usually i let them get up and circle round cinematically, or something like that... Or if i'm playing dark, which is not usual for me (but since it's just the dark thing to do) zap them good!!!
BigMexican Posted June 16, 2002 Posted June 16, 2002 dunno why you cant turn your saber off during saber lock, it'd rock!

MediocreSlacker Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 Originally posted by karismatik Haha, stand there and TwIrL your saber!!! You are right, karismatik. You should see the fear in people's eyes when I do this now. There is nothing like twirling your saber to convey the deadly and fear-inspiring message, "Look at me, I am twirling my saber." hehe! I love the way you spelled "twirl." TwIrL!! Wheeee!!!! slacker
