I used to play Jedi Academy way back in the day. Doubt anyone remembers a Jester? Anyway I bought Jedi Academy on steam for old times sake and it didn't seem terribly active. I mean the game is old as fuck, right? Some guy in a server who was absolutely whiping the floor with me mentioned mb2. We got to talking and he told me I should try it out. He mentioned its like a Jedi Academy Counter strike. Seems like I could give it a try. He had nothing but good things to say about it. Anyway look forward to seeing you in game. Downloading now.

Perfect block is performed by aiming your crosshair at different zones around the enemy body corresponding to the different swings. Check out this guide [Guide] The Dueling Compendium

It is currently a bit outdated but for the basics I suppose it will do. And not to self-promote or anything but I've got a bunch of gameplay videos on my youtube channel here which may also be of some use.

Hey off the subject I found a movie battles 2 steam group with 315 members. Is that the one most of the people here are in?

Quick word of advice.
Aim for their heads.

[Experiments on organic lifeforms prove it to have a 1.4x damage modifier.]
(Ineffective against advanced droid models.)

Eh? It's way higher than 1.4x, if you take a body shot as 1.0x, headshots do more like 3x at least, and I thought I remembered a dev saying 3.5x. I did damage testing with some guns at one point and I don't remember if it was 3x or more, but it was definitely much higher than 1.4x.

P3 (and Mando Wrist Blaster) wouldn't one-shot headshot Jedi if it was 1.4x (since their base damage is, like, 40 and 45, iirc)

Definitely aim for heads, except against Super Battle Droids or Droidekas. And the "aim for heads" rule is even MORE essentially uber-essential against Wookiees. Make them rue the day they grew such a large head.

Documentation for all the weapon damages, saber style numbers, and multipliers for various things (head shots for guns, damage modifiers for various things on sabers, etc) are something we should incorporate into the library as well as wiki (and maybe even a stickied post with a bullet point list of the important ones somewhere here on the forums would be good too).

Head shot damage multiplier is 3.0 btw.

Also, always glad to see new blood coming in. Hope you enjoy your stay :).

Thank you for the correction of data. It has been a while since Old Ben said it was 1.4x in some post forgotten long ago.

You're probably referring to this, and he said torso shots were 1.3. Moreover, he was slightly wrong anyway. Although the numbers that Subaru cites seem off to me too, because my testing seemed to indicate that body shots are somewhere around 1.0x rather than 1.3x.

Your memory's corrupted! I'm afraid it's fatal. We'll have to melt down all of your bodies and your core system satellite thing, and remold it all into a nice statue in remembrance of you.

We'll never forget you! </3

Lol lessen, I like you already. My noob hi thread has not only been really educational but entertaining. If this is any indication of what this community is like I really think I'm going to like this game.

Be careful organic, I'm not the 'toaster' you're looking for.

And that's not the language you're looking for.

That's English for "that is not French". :p
