Let’s make a tier list

#106

i suggest trying to get behind them before starting, then. you only need 2 hits, even if you tell them youre about to melee them at minimum you should still get one swing in, and it should be really easy to get 2 melee hits in before any parrys, and thats all you need

have you actually tried this?

also, if youre playing only against your friends, your viewpoint on this is skewed as your friends should know your playstyle then, and perhaps youre too readable?

i have yet to get parried once in quickplay in this specific scenario. people dont know what to expect and 2 melee swings isnt enough for people to turn around and understand whats going on fast enough. maybe if thats all i did to them after a few tiems theyd be ready for it, but i do all sorts of things so they arent ready for anythign in particular

/shrug we will see what happens in our match in 15 minutes, as you should be ready for what i do since i told you exactly what im going to do and thats all im gunna try, but its not like im gunan sit in melee and let you parry me

#107

1v1 me :)
Just lmk when you’re free I’m just playing wow atm.
If you lose, you have to make a max character post saying how good I am.

#108

lol np, and i plan to do the 1v1 in 10 minutes. im not making a new post tho, ill post the results of you stomping my booty and being the first person to stop me from doing this in this thread

that said it should be significantly harder to pull off on you since you know what im going to be trying from the beginning, and its all im going to try

edit: i still have full confidence though, that after a couple tries (and letting you heal) that i can down you from it, assuming my aim doing go to poo and i keep missing the spear throw, which happens sometimes

#109

you wanna try 1v1 in this 1v4 game without excuses? I’m going to be in discord with my friends, raiding BWL and listening to Chance the rapper at the same time.

#110

up to you, itd make more sense to do a 4v1 so you can get support, as itd be more natural and allow the proper scenarios to play out instead of me having full roam to focus only on you

you seemed confident you could counter this 1v1 tho so maybe both and try 1v1 first and if you fail you can grab ur friends, but again up to you

#111

ok im done working, ready when you are

#112

Do you not know how to accept private game invites ? Is that whats going on rn?

#113

i was alt tabbed but apparently i also dotn know how to accept lol

#114

………BRB 3 min chrommaggus.

#115

np, i have a lil over an hour, i can wait for you to finish nef.

#116

in-between is fine, click friends, then click my name
then accept. plz.

#117

aw I lost and didn’t parry :o

#118

hrmm so yeah, if thats all i do and you play specifically to coutner it, it still took 3 tries to down you. more or less what i expected. you did good damage though, gj

My thoughts here are Tier Lists are more or less anecdotal. There are hard facts, but people get creative @DisturbedLlama. Case in point?? Tekken 7’s Panda is considered one of the worst Characters in the entire Game. Yet a Player won the Evo Tekken Championship with Panda. Even Tekken 7’s Producer, Mr. Harada, gave the winner a Trophy along with a “…Really?? Panda!?”

From my experience, the best Weapons suit your individual playstyle. I tried using the Elder Sword, and while it’s Tracking is good, I felt it was too slow which interrupted my overall Combat Flow. I’ve also gotten better at using the Bow although it’s a little harder to use. Making a definitive List is difficult. However, personal Lists are another case.

I personally love using either the Zerker (my Main) or the recently released Elder (slowly growing on me!!) with quick, hit and run Tactics. I’ve tried a lot of different Perk and Weapon Combinations.

For me…

Primary: Net Gun. I actually upped my Thumbstick Sensitivity to coincide with Quick Shots and leading them. I love getting in close, so the proverbial Safety Net is the way to go. You’ll eventually develop pacing and properly prioritizing targets. It’s also fun to try and get Players to think you’re gonna Melee, causing them to whiff, giving you the advantage.

Secondary: Combi-Stick. Everyone always complains that the Combi-Stick is too slow. That’s partially true since you can easily take out an individual Player with ease. But when dipping into a Group?? Quick Toss that thing as much as you can. Once you get a feel for where the Reticule is, you can easily throw by simply reacting. And the best part is, Players will be so focused on retreating and trying to scramble away, you’ll have no issue retrieving it back, setting up another Toss.

But again, this is just me and my humble Opinion. I’m sure someone has a counterpoint or advice that would make me want to try another style of Weapon.

#121

now imagine if you didnt know it was coming and the FT is trying to do the mission, and im doing more than just that?

itd be a lot easier to pull off and get into melee, and they wouldnt be trying to dodge the throw

#122

I don’t have time rn, but lets let the thread continue and I’ll invite you to a lobby for parry practice when I have time. You’re just not going to get a sneak attack like that against a 4 man that communicates well. GG.

#123

I mean yeah I’m just asking everyone’s opinion big guy

GG, possibly, ive run into decent teams, and ive lost before (tho there hasnt been a game i havent goofed off in yet), but there hasnt been a game where there isnt a single time i can get the jump on someone

i havent run into anyone roof camping like that though, which makes it harder. givin that ive played 99% pred and got to lv ~95 and havent run into teams that i cant get anything done on, id say its a pretty viable tactic

there are lots of opportunities to catch people off guard for 1.5 seconds. but ive stolen this thread long enough

#125

wow ok last comment on this, i just did a quickplay game with the intent to practice this move since i miss the spear throw fairly often so i was doing just this. it was super easy, got 3 right away with no misses, then just played with the last guy with bear traps… good times

to confirm its as fast as 2.5 melee swings with stick, and in quickplay at least, they arent ready for it anywhere near in time, making this a super easy 100-0 kill tactic. just drop behind them with a long jump when theyre running twards something and its an almost guaranteed kill
