Solar Flare

whats the point of the solar flare? when you use it you just get blinded your self so you cant really run away?

It blinds enemies for longer I think...and its good for running away or whatever.

You could always close your eyes

lol. I dont think it blinds other people longer. and i fit does oh well. but i think in 1.2 Solar Flare shouldnt blind you.

Your screen goes white for like one second, they're blinded for 12.

well here is a little esf 1.2 hint
Flash blocks someones sight for maybe 5/10 seconds, in that time you can do a several devastating combo's, and the other person can't see... so he can't block

Prozac you sly dog you i never thought of that. but one problem you have to charge up first cuz it take up about 3/4's or your ki. but still i like the way you think

That`s the real dutch spirit isn`t it (jij grapjas)
i kinda like the idea i will try to use it but i still don`t really understand how advanced melee will work.. i have read something about swooping to a player and than you got a melee strugle... something like that..

if i get blinded i just block automatically its the first thing i thionk to do or if im feeling stupid i try to attack lol

lol well you see me when i get blinded i push a or d and keep pushing teleport ^^ me just to l337 in 1.1 ;P

/me slaps Prozac

Damn you, that was our secret ;(

Seriously, you shouldn't have said it. It'd be better if ppl find that out themselves IMO

Ah well...

Only problem is.... after doing solar flare, do you have enough ki left for melee?

solar flare, power-up and combo the **** out of the enemy. nasty trick, but it will work good on bots.

Actually, wouldn't it work worse on bots? I dunno if me coded it in, but most bots don't respond to what should be rendered. (Most CS bots aren't affected by flash grenades)

ESF bots are programmed to respond to solar flares I think.

yeah well the best trick for me is when someone blinds me (and it almost doesnt happen) I toggle off flying so I drop quickly down, and of course I automaticly block, my guess is by the time he charges and gets down to find me I will get back to my sight

You only get it once anyway, It doesnt take that much ki (not to me anyway)

i dont know about about but when i get blinded i just swoop after them and hit them. you can still see your target. or at least i can. so i hit them and they are like "but i solar flared you" pretty wierd
