    Proposed changes

    Me personally I dont think there's anything RNG about how slap used to work, the little knockback was good for player feedback and was absolutely harmless. I'd rather have the little knockback than yet another crosshair blip.

    Tried dueling in 1.4.8 again with some friends last night, the developers need to take a second and look back.

    Facts. I remember playing one of the first betas for the current build, myself and many others told him that mblock defence and several of his other ideas were unwanted and were unnecessary additions. I stopped playing/caring not long afterwards but it's clear he didn't listen to people's...

    MBII Version Switcher

    Are there 1.4.8 or 1.4.9 servers up?

    Proposed changes

    We've all waited long enough for a good build, implement what you can from the above piece by piece over time. I don't think anyone would mind waiting more time to get SeV's suggestions implemented. You could even release small patches for every block of suggestions that SeV has made, i.e...

    Fix sabering

    I didn't like 1.5 for many reasons, and I think most people in the community know I've been asking for 1.4.9 to return for a long time, but I figured reverting to 1.5.x (a later build with less jank) might have been more of a realistic ask due to the difficulty in reverting patches (so we were...

    Proposed changes

    These suggested changes aren't necessarily my idea of a perfect build, but they are very, very close to that. Thank you for taking the time to write this. The above in particular I'm not a fan of. Whilst I understand the sentiment, I just think movement, playermodels, animations etc are too...

    Fix sabering

    Half of the added janky mechanics introduced in r20 are unwanted by most if not all players though, such as ‘mb defence’ etc. I’m fairly sure most people just want a system with pb, mb, parries (that work), combos, halfswings, counters (that work), swingblock, slaps and a simple ACM design We...

    Fix sabering

    Revert to 1.5.x sabering and fix the few minor things that were wrong with it. Parry/counter timings didn’t work correctly/consistently and some of the styles were too OP due to interrupts. There was probably other small things that needed changing but not to the point of requiring an overhaul...

    Moviebattles II 1.9.2 Released

    How do I change my brightness with vulcan rendering?

    Stop reworking the sabering system

    I think mb defence and things like different pb defence levels after feinting or in returns (if I understood correctly) is just unnecessary complication too. The proposed change to ACM sounds good.

    Stop reworking the sabering system

    I personally do not want a flavourful or more interesting patch. Thats what I’m trying to say. I want a good, basic patch that allows you to be creative and play in many different ways even with one style (i.e yellow or red). 1.4.9 almost had this. You could play aggressive as spamming was still...

    Stop reworking the sabering system

    The period before that was consisting of wild beta builds from Stassin and Tempest. From 1.3 to 1.4 a tonne of features were added and subsequently removed (pb counters, semi pb, perfect parry). From 1.4 to 1.5 basically the entire meta was changed in what would’ve been a decent build with a few...

    Stop reworking the sabering system

    And once again I give up reasoning with you. Why would my post have gained so much support in a small period of time if I was wrong lol. We have no chance of getting through to you if every time the community supports an opinion you just say ‘no, u’. We literally havent had a single tweak to...

    Stop reworking the sabering system

    Haven’t had time to go through Tempest’s response yet, but this just isn’t true? The reason we’re in this state is because of the fact we’ve constantly overhauled new builds rather than tweak them. How do you reply to a thread which’s core argument is that ‘mb2 sabering builds need to be...
