I wish they would add diagonal swooping
like you double tap to swoop forward
single tap to swoop diagonal and double tap for left or right chain swoop...I think it would be good.....
OMFG i luv you True-Warrior, this idea sparked a great idea for swoop from me xD; something new and probably would be good.
Why not have a swoop mode? meaning that while in "swoop mode", swoops are activated with single taps, and if you stop swooping, you can begin another swoop with just a single tap. (holding down the swoop button to continue swooping, releasing to stop)
The only way to cancel the swoop mode is if you powerup, block, or fly into a wall(Allowing easy walljumps; Not including the ceiling/floor).
Also, the "swoop mode" wouldn't have a limit to how long you could fly, but instead something like a "speed stamina". To enter the swoop mode, you double tap , like in 1.2, and when you stop... your character's floating animation changes to something that looks as if he's ready to fight. The "speed stamina" could measure how often you swoop, and if you swoop too much your swoop speed decreases down to the character's minimum speed.
I think this make alot of moves in 1.2 much less of a hassle, making gameplay a lot faster, without the *actual increase in the speed characters*.
How the "Speed Stamina" works..
In 1.2 you can swoop only so long before the swoop stops automaticly. Well, with the new swoop idea and "Speed Stamina" added in, you can swoop "only so fast" before your swoop slows down automaticly. The timing for how long you can "your fastest" is the exact same timing for how long you can swoop in 1.2...
So... when I first swoop in the swoop mode, it will be my fastest swoop, which lasts about 5 to 7 seconds because thats how long the swoop in 1.2 lasts...
then it will slow down to a slower swoop speed, but i can continue swooping as long as i have the ki to do so..
If im on my firsts swoop and i swoop forward then right and stop in 3 seconds, then i have 4 to 5 more seconds left befeore my swoop speed goes down..
To swoop fast again, i must exit the "swoop mode" by powering up or blocking..... and when i double tap ill enter the swoop mode and my first swoop will be the fastest,... ( This also is great, because it encouragous new players to a PRO style of playing, Mastering the art of Powering up right after stoping, even if for a split second ).
