Ohhh! i remembered an old tactic I had!

You wait for them to fire at you, and don't move to they're shooting right at you. When they fire wait until the last moment and trans through the beamhead. Then simply continue to tele towards him or swoop at him. Nine times out of ten they don't think to detonate as the target reticle is still red. Then WHAM! you nail them.

Banning a beam spammer is only avoiding the issue that we currently have with beams in this game. Dont hate on the player, he is just using a tactic that is in the game. If its super cheap, then it needs to be fixed.

Also, banning a player only applies to pub servers. What about matches and duels between more competitive players?
Even if its a tactic it aint allowed. We got rules on our servers >.> no beamspamming. And if we want to duel we can just pass the server for that. In duels we usually do basic melee only.

HAHA Yugi noob missed the edit button and hit quote XD Oh im so getting a warning for this

Anyhow. The problem with teleporting throo beamheads is that the player shooting the beam detonates it near you. So it dosent matter if you teleport or not. You die.

If you think beam spamming is the only tactic to use with beams, then don't be a class that uses them. There are plenty of uses for beams.

oh, and this wouldn't really work. Most people (that I play with, anyway) tend to detonate it right in front of you, because they know I'll just blockstruggle it and send it away.

OK tell me what you can use a big beam for other than fully charged beamjump = lots of kills

or shooting and detonating in the air also = lots of kills.

It aint that hard once you get some PL.

It also isn't that hard to resist the damage/get the hell away if you have a similar amount of PL. It's not unbalanced that someone with a much higher PL has an advantage.

Beamspam implies that you use it exclusively, and it is easy to beat, since beamspammers usually suck fat, sweaty, 80 year old balls at melee, that and they're vulernable while they fire the beam.

What you can use a fully charged beam for? Blasting someone who isn't expecting it...or someone who is expecting it, but not good enough to avoid it.



And you can easily teleport to avoid them. Just not through them...you can teleport in any direction but backwards or forwards.

I'm not sure what you're saying in that last sentence.

I think you're saying that it's not possible to teleport forwards or backwards - but that IS possible, just to let you know.

I know ;)


I'm just saying that you can teleport in any direction except forward or backwards if you want to have a chance of living. Neither direction is a good choice if you want to avoid a beam.

Teleportation is great for avoiding beams. Teleporting in two directions is even better.

I see. :3

Yes, I agree. Teleporting is a very useful ability when dealing with beams.

Often, when I'm in Melee or Advanced Melee, fighting another person, and there's a third person charging a beam near us, I'll always be careful and ready to dodge their beams. I use Teleport to quickly get out of the way, or sometimes Teleswoop if I need to catch the beam-user (assuming he's not too far away).

Sometimes I even completely abandon the person I was fighting to go after the beam-user, lol.

Listen. I'm telling you right now, you're not fighting real spammers if you think a disc is an actual solution to anything aside how to waste ki.

Try fighting some honest to goodness ESF pros. If you're an american, try fighting myself, gon, loki, saru, most of ZR, and all of ape. If you're a euro, I'd reccomend fighting someone like kai. Either way, you'll get a taste of how fast paced this game can be, and I can promise you you'll never get a disc kill on any of the said names.

You shouldn't say it's not a problem based on "a server with some friends." Check the competitive scene out in this game, and you'll better understand.

Yugi_Yami and Demonic Spoon, please don't double post. There's an edit button for a reason.

Then as Freiza I'd use lasers or something...or get in close to melee. It's not hard...

Im pulling with NGE on thisone.

You obviously arnt fighting real spammers.

Real spammer tactic:
-shoot big beams as mutch as possible
-allways detonate beam close to someone (one or more people)
-never engage melle fights if you can run away using a turbo beamjump
-continue with first thing

A pro spammer wont give you 3 seconds time to melee him. By the time youll reach him hell be on his way to the other side of the map using a beamjump. And prepairing the next big beam. And the problem gets worse. Since they are hard to catch with that tactic they gain PL more and more making the blast radious bigger and bigger. Once they transform i can tell you that 2 teleports wont help you and by the time youll get to number 3 youll be fryed.

Thats a real spammer. Not thise noobspammers that wait for you to come close or dont even know how to detonate a beam.

..Then blast them while they're charging up a blast. Or fire your own beam after their beamjump.

It's not that easy.
