I'm positive. I'm not a noob at ESF I know what I'm doing. Usually after about 20 minutes of playing (using only basic melee) then when im swooping at them and im holding down the right mouse button. I fly into them and because im not flying STRAIGHT at them, I fly into them then past them... and usually if they are pretty skilled. They just hit me and it looks like they got the hit because of their skills.
Because of this, I am forced to resort to Advanced melee. And after a few throws and combos here and there i can go back to Basic melee... It's quit annoying
::EDIT::
The event i can remember the most was I was buu in esf_riverside. I was fighitng IMK BROLLY and some noob that didnt know much. at first i was doing well and all of a sudden fighitng brolly, he was getting a lot of consecutive hits which for this fight was unusual.... and i swear i landed side hits on him but he never got hit. He kept hitting me. So i went to hit the noob i forgot his name and even he hit me. which was impossible seeing as i hit him in the back and flew right by him. then we did a head on and he hit me... that made no sense. and i know they arent hacking. so i did advanced then it worked again.
(Sorry Imk brolly i dont wanna make you look bad you are a fun person to fight

)
