Awesome video ^_^

All I'm saying is that 1.4 won't kill off the community. Also, 1.4 is a fix to 1.3 even if you do not believe it to be so.

Back in 2008 when b18 was first released. b17 players complained that it was a shitty patch and that we should revert sabering to b17 style. When b19 came out, ppl said b18 was better. When RC1 came out, ppl actually said rc1 was better, cause b19 was truly horrid for sabering. But when rc2 came...

If nudging is 'spam' then per definition, slap is spam too, and taking a swing at your opponent is also spam. Holding block is also spam. Tapping wasd is also spam. In-fact, the entire world is spam. But 1.3 is bestest spam jajaja.

Yeah I updated the guide as soon as the open beta came out. Since that kind of revealed 1.4 mechanics, there was no point in waiting until official release since everyone got to read 1.4 change-notes and only a few things are likely to change in 1.4 dueling wise from the open beta. So yeah, my...

I'm not sure what you mean by spamming in this context. If you 'spam' (i.e, repeat the same thing over and over again) in 1.4 then you are dead meat sonny boy. But in 1.3 you can safely go about brainlessly throwing the same few combos at your opponent until one of you gets slapped and and you...

I'm glad people are expressing pro 1.4 opinions, as some ppl seem to think everyone hated 1.4. In-game, I saw most ppl enjoying 1.4 during the open beta, but mostly just whining on the forums so it generated a skewed view of how ppl felt about 1.4. I can't say I fully understand newer players...

Flinch is like a skill-check, quite a common theme in patch 1.4 sabering wise atleast. In all the time I've played 1.4 in closed beta and open beta vs gunners, I've never ever found myself feeling underpowered as a jedi/sith. I felt like I always did, like a bawz with a big glowing dildo ready...

Yeah I have enjoyed the versus series for quite awhile. I like me some star wars novels too. Expanded universe ftw.

The only duel that makes some sense is Darth Vader vs Old Obi-wan in episode 4, which was based more on kendo. Then it gradually devolved into showmanship and saber twirling competitions. Looks cool but it cannot be called realistic. Jedi are supposed to be spending their whole lives with a...

Because fighting in movies/animated series is so realistic and we should totally base MBII sabering skill on it. Check out these two 'Masters' of lightsaber combat. What the fuck are they doing? MBII isn't trying to simulate anything. We're working on a meaningful sabering system that takes...

It seems more managable than in 1.3 due to PB's stopping combo's and the following insta-counters. Ofc, if you want to win a 2v1 you'd need to outskill or out-strategize your opponents, or throw a trick Mblock or two.

Yeah, cyan is probably not the style to kill good Leonardo's (blue turtle, get it? lolol). You'd want to use smth like yellow to steadily gain ACM while keeping the blue user impotent with PBs/bodyhits. A turtling blue user has an almost impossible time gaining any ACM vs anything but cyan even...

Slap is not overpowered, it's your swingblock skills that are lacking. Also, stassin has been saying for a long time that if what you want is a perfectly balanced, clean looking saber system then duals/staff/cyan/purple need to go, because those aren't as polished as the base stances of...

MBII open beta duels 2 - showing some cyan too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4pXIXbr530

Obviously I wasn't able to track down the god of blue style and ask him to rek my face. But I did use cyan here against some players that you'd probably have trouble with.

The way of fighting in 1.4 is quite different from my style in the past year and more. It's much closer to stassin's preferred style, so I've had to adapt alot myself. My whole focus was to make it better and more skill-based. If I happened to suck at the system then so be it, if it was a far...

Anything vs not so good players will 'stomp' as you so eloquently put it. I managed to record a few cyan vs blue duels today. Some cyan vs cyan and even a couple of cyan vs yellow too. It's coming in a new 1.4 open beta duel video. Note, it's very hard to find ppl at my level playing the beta...

Yes, that pretty much sums it up. The 1.4 system is going to be implemented like it is now, with only minor changes like making red stagger slightly longer. It was my feeling and hope that the open beta would bring further positive changes upon the system and I also private messaged developers...

Ah right. Basically to receive the 1.2x BP dmg benefit it needs to be a PB+counter and the timing on it is tight. So a slow attack after a PB means that it's not a full counter and only the PB+Counter insta swings/full counters, get the damage buff.
