Whos been kicking your a$$?

[nubby]

Whos the one guy that keeps killing you? For me its a guy by the name of Adnachiel and another guy by the name of Moe. Anyone else?

[ChronoWarrior]

Hmm.....I think i've seen Adneicheal. He's good. Actually I really havn't been kicked good. Although there was this one guy, but the name of The One. He tottaly destroyed me. I never killed him once. It was pathetic.....

[Ron1jed]

Shade

[Woad]

Prometheus.
Hehe, although he's nice enough that he gave me some pointers and helped me out a bit.

[seanconnery]

Ripwire owns me in sabering.

[Necro]

no one!

i own everyone :D

[Darksider]

Not to boast but ive not yet come across my superior in sabre fighting , though Cringe and monkeu are about equal we seem to win/lose quite evenly. All my RL friends i solidly trounced ;) though Borf is catching up.....

[seanconnery]

Us forum-goers should organize a match sometime...dueling, of course.

[IceDragon]

cyphex
:lsduel:

[enDless_Deliriu]

-V-Chico

I'm getting better at Saber Fighting (from playing the Single Player, though the moves are dif, but we'll see I guess :) )

IceDragon, do you play Tribes under the same name? LoS-IceDragon?

[dan-o2]

Please don't tell me that's -V- as in vanguard. Has |5150| discovered JK2 yet or are they still in UT or whatever they moved on to? =\

[enDless_Deliriu]

I think it's Valar, either way it's a Tribes team here. I'm not sure if 5150 has made a team over here, but most of the people who frequent TribalWar and the like have heard of the game, and a good few are playing it.


I take it you play Tribes or Tribes 2 Dan.

[dan-o2]

Tribes 2. Except right now it's messing up and voice.vl2 is messed so I can't repatch after I had to reinstall because firstaid messed it up. *sigh*

[Darth Laimbeer]

Stormtroopers.

Tough lil bastards :D

[daunt]

Most of 5150 doesn't seem to care for the game. A bunch of people ran off to play Dungeon Siege a few days ago and I haven't seen them since. What can I say? The enD tag caught my eye.

[dan-o2]

Bah, 5150 is a bunch of sissys. (Don't tell them I said that) :D

[madrebel]

noone in particular owns me. this one guy "am i dead yet?" is a really good saberist that was/is giving me fits. But i found a good counter to his strong style.

spinner style saberists are a bit difficult for me now.

other than that not many ive seen.

[seanconnery]

There's a clan called PPD...they own me in sabering too.

[seanconnery]

How does one perform spins like the spinners do, anyway?

[Darksider]

you can chain 3 spins and 2 slashes in medium style. or infinite spins in light style (not techinically spins according to the manual light style doesnt invovle spins but you swirl the sabre round in a circle over and over)

[seanconnery]

But darksider, how? All I've been able to get with medium style were ugly slashes.

[Mattock]

I'm on a dialup so everyone owns me pretty much.

BTW, does anyone else find people who just sit there and spin incredibly annoying?

Half the time when I see someone doing that I just bust out the force grip. If they're gonna sit there and be annoying I might as well too.

Although, it is funny when someone starts spinning, so I run off, a lil later I"ll come back and the guy is still in the same spot spinning.

Has anyone else seen the trick where a guy is spinning round and roun, but is doing what looks like a saber throw, except the saber is just barely out of his hand and is spinning along with him? I can't figure out how they do that one.

[Darksider]

the trick is not to click wildly , hold down the fire button and use the directional keys to guide the sabre , using the forward and strafe keys you can do a spin , hold them down and you will chain spin , once you initiate the spins you can still move by moving the mouse and using the other strafe key , even in medium style chain spinning can be quite useful

check out this demo , its fairly long (almost 20 min) but its got a wide variety of sabre technique in it culminating in 4 consecutive duels at the end

www.members.optushome.com.au/ewa55/MeOnFFABespin.zip

[Darksider]

mattock thats not a technique really , its kind of buggy , if the sabre is almost back to you and you do a sideways force jump (so you roll midair) it will start spinning around you until you either stop or press fire to fully call it back , you can hit people like this but cant deflect and in general it leaves you wide wide open

[Darksider]

woot im not bantha fodder any more!

Pit Droid-tastic!

[seanconnery]

You good, Darksider. I watched the demo when you posted it in another thread.

[Darksider]

Thanks ;) i mainly love duelling , even on gun servers , always give respect where its due even when im beaten . Holding fire while you guide the sabre is the best way to do things and in fast style you can just whiz along as a blur of light - youre likely to get a sabre thrown at your head though

and u watched it when i posted it before? wow didnt think anyone would bother hehe ;) thanks again

[seanconnery]

You do medium stance only huh?
When I'm in anything but light I get killed very, very soon. One slash or two and I'm in 3 pieces all over the floor.

[Darksider]

i find light style hard to do damage with , i prefer a strike and run , i favour jumping and rolling alot (as you wouldve seen) when i get that good horizontal torso slash though it counts , like when i ran through 4 people with a spin by hitting the torso when i had the opportunity and jumping like mad to get away from a barrage of thrown sabres overhead heavy strikes and whirlwind light style spinners ;)

[Joruus]

I learned fear.

Its name is Blood Widow.

Add it to your lexicon of danger terms.

You know, up there with "Giant Man Eating Tarantula" and "Tax Auditor".

Shes uncanny. True Sith.

Fear.

[seanconnery]

Heh, yeah, I saw. What amazes me is how long you last with all those sabers flying around...I spawned the same number of initiate bots as people you were dealing with in the same level and had them all stay in the same area (the center, you know what I mean) and didn't last 5 seconds.

[seanconnery]

Hmm..maybe I'll go look for her on a server and record a demo of it...

[Darksider]

level 3 jump and level 3 sabre defense are my best friends , there was many an occasion where i got cut down fast but another important thing is to always keep turning around watching every direction for people taking strikes from behind

I assume this Blood Widow is in america? i want a low ping duel i do!

[seanconnery]

Yeah I noticed you used very few offensive force powers like push and grip.
Nope couldn't find her; could you?

[Darksider]

that server doesnt allow active force powers except sabre throw , just the way i like it - its like a big series of duels , i mean dont get me wrong i love all the force powers but when you are actively looking for a good sabre fight you get a bunch of greifers and grip/lightning whores whos purpose is to ruin your fun

didnt use push to knock people down , just a good ol' fashioned boot to the head hehehe :)

[seanconnery]

Do you have the IP of that server? can't seem to find it.

[Darksider]

its 203.220.0.22:28070

thats the server im on the most , best fun , though often join the other ausgamers servers (guns jedi knight force and sabre FFA) when that one is full

[Joruus]

Shes not to hard to find.

Generally runs her own sabers/force only server, though it took me several hours to get on it because its always full.

In a pure duel shes very good, has great saber control and targeting with the throw.

But catch her in a melee with force powers? OMFG.

I watched her on Bespin in spectator mode, she had a nasty high frag count and everyone was after her. A 7 person melee going on and she held them all off, force power mastery, saber skill...it was uncanny to watch. Was the closest thing to Maul in Episode I I've seen so far in multiplayer from anyone.

Anyone can melee. Not many can be the single target of everyone in that melee and survive it. She took down 4 people in the melee almost instantaneously, then lured the remaining 3 to the dojo area under the pad, and then set to work clearing the rest.

I saw her drain, then grip the first to attack her, she lifted him up fast, and before he could get his absorb on, she ran forward with him then dropped grip and force pushed, literally LAUNCHING this guy into the air and out over the edge, only to turn nearly instantly and block a thrown saber, and then roll BACKWARDS under a medium swing from the 2nd attacker.

She turned around then...ran directly at the 2nd guys back, and did the backflip kick, knocking him down, and then THREW her saber at the 1st guy as he swung at her, killing him. She then, somewhat uncerimoniously gripped the last man standing until he died.

7 guys. Seven.

It was beautiful to watch. Wish I'd been recording a demo, but since it creates so much hitch lag I tend to not run demos on multiplayer servers.

After spectating that, I spent alot of time in spectator mode just watching her work. Shes uncanny...as I said.

[Darksider]

im on this server now (running windowed) if someone might want to join if its not full

[seanconnery]

Uh.

7.

I rarely survive 1.

:D

[L'Equa Sinar]

If i play nar Shadaa Streets, i barely survive on my own!! :)

Anyone seen Greedn Dildo? he was on a server last night and oh my god he was so dam good, but, as with a lot of people, was a heavy weapons addict, so his heavy weapons caused a lot of lag for me :( if only that was a Sabers only!!! So green dildo, if ya hear me!! lemme know!! lol :)

[seanconnery]

Yep, I've seen the dildo around. Gunwhore he is, but good gunwhore, he is. Very good gunwhore.

[Spider AL]

/me coughs hopefully

Anyone seen me? :D I've been ow... er... playing on the Boomtown FFA servers a lot.

[Scrobes]

The guy who's been killing me is this fella called Scrobes..

Heh, I'm an idiot. Get myself killed all the time. :D Need lots of practise. Anyway...

Hmm. That Blood Widow character sounds like pap. Sounds like advertisement, Joruus. Either you are an rl friend of her, or simply *are* her..

[seanconnery]

I have seen someone that godlike in TFC before...

His name's Paul Bunyan. Sniper.

[thrEEpaGe]

well, jo is an action game, and with that comes weapons....theres over 10 weapons to choose, and only one saber....its a probable likelihood that guns will be used =)

[Silent Wolf]

*coughs*

i recognize some of you....

some of you ive owned...

some of you i havent seen yet....

:evil2:

[Scrobes]

Do you all use the same names from here when you go online?

[Silent Wolf]

i do :)

[Scrobes]

Cool. :)

Silent Wolf, what sort of pings do you get? And what sort of pings do you prefer to play with?

Would you say 300+ ping deems saberdueling ineffective?

[madrebel]

drop the sissy force powers and lets go.

[Robbiesan]

Hey Darksider how do I view the file you have availble for download? So far I've been a weapons whore sicne I'm coming from the EF community. I want to learn the saber better and would like to check out the file you provided. thx
