I doubt he's 13, lol. Just putting this out there: for online type fest wars, for trolling and whatnot, using that ole' "oh he must be 13 years old" - that shit doesn't work, bro! That never works, nobody cares about that, lol. I've been in plenty of troll fests, and its such a weak come back/attack. No offense. @TGM: Those videos you post aren't that impressive. The first one was just in the training grounds, and you didn't even try to fight someone in the arena. The second video, that assault marine was a total chump. Post a real fight, and then lets see whats up. Its true though, the current melee system works - I'm starting to get used to it now. Its all in the timing... and sometimes lag. I live close to the North American server, and everytime I get a match there, I find the matches to be pretty smooth.
How much sprint attacks in the row must be on video?(Just say and i will try to find moment with that much SA that you need) Because, you know, no one can absorb more than 4 SA. P.S. @Jencent, not @TGM.
Yeh that always saddens me, Duels never last for long if at all. Mainly because you get shot or you both get blown up by an AOE. Always finally make it into a melee duel with another good melee player, start smacking each other. 2secs later you get dakka'd from the great beyond. I get sad even when that happens to my opponent, i just want a good duel D':
Melee archetype vs melee archetype should be the quality duels IMO. Currently Tacts, Fire Dragons, Swooping Hawks, Shootas, Dire Avengers wielding knives just hang in way too long way toO often vs melee archetypes. It really makes a mockery of all melee archetypes IMO when your average Tactical(FD, DA, Hawk, Shoota) has a 50/50 or better odds vs melee achetypes in a melee encounter. It should be more like 1/4 chances which is still infinitely higher chances than you're going to have with an Assault and Bolt Pistol AT RANGE vs a Bolter, Heavy Bolter, Plasmagun, Storm Bolter, Big shoota, etc, etc.
I'm going with @Jencent on sprint attacks working 100% for me as long as I do them correctly. You tap the right mouse button now to get a the sprint lunge. Pressing gets normal fast attack and holding the strong attack. This is a much better system than what it used to be in alpha where attacking out of sprint was always the sprint lunge. Now we have options which is better.
Naw, you got good timing, I know that. But those weren't fights. I'm just saying, try it in a big full match, thats all. Now THATS a video to watch.
