AND THERES MORE
At 0:02, you can see him performing a D swing, whilst running with A. In reality, he should have performed an A swing (which would be the saber swinging from his right side).
Now I mentioned in the Discord, you could easily play devil's advocate and suggest that in the slap animation delay time, he input his D swing and ran to the left, which is I think, entirely possible, however unlikely.
The fact that he is pulling this off when a few months ago he couldn't compete with a gone-off grape, leads me to suspect the obvious here
(Auto-parry)
Also, the beginning part of the video shows it all, really. Look how he teleports to Hessu at the very start of the duel. lol
I've also attached a slow-mo video of Hessu's clip, which shows Argorn doing some really freaky shit. My first suspicion was SB script but since Hessu's slap was already used (5 second cooldown) it must be something along the lines of an Auto-Parry script or something like that. I mean, look at this guy ffs:
Argorn strange W swing mid-combo animation
The weirdness in question is the very, VERY fast W swing + crouch during the combo.
Details:
What I find
MORE INTERESTING is that, he swings
TWICE at the start of his chain,
stops to block the slap, and
CONTINUES the
chain with
THREE more swings.
Clearly we can see that he manages to get in
W, SA, swings at the beginning of his combo.
He then proceeds to get
D, W and
A swings in the
SAME CHAIN as his first two-hits.
This means the chain
didn't reset, which is evident from his playermodels anims.
Chain-reset can be told by timing but also by animation. If the model has not completely finished the animation of the
hilt returning to it's
neutral state or "stance", the chain can still be continued via
halfswing, with the
maximum amount of swings being
FOUR.
Now I must digress, the saber hit clearly didn't affect Hessu's combo, so we have to assume that it dealt no damage or was just a visual bug. Though, this accompanied with all previous allegations and in-game duel experience leads me to believe that this isn't a bug.
What I think:
Personally, I believe it's some sort of auto-parry script, mixed with unrestricted timenudge cvars. He inputs W, which shows the W animation, but the script does an A swing to keep him from being interrupted, which negates his original mistake of trying to parry the combo with a W.
If you still need convincing, I honestly don't know what to say to you. Use your common sense and judge by evidence, not what Argorn or Vega are telling you.
