As we all know, head-on melee is growing in popularity with each passing day. What are your strategies to defeat it? I'm curious to know.

1: throw it right back at em
2: beam
3: use any fraction of skill you have to get around them when they charge you
4: multiple variations on #3

yep

I swoop to the sides so they cant 'how' me, or if I don't feel like doing that I just how them back.

If they aren't moving at all? I just take Frieza and give them a laser, usually they come attacking, which they suck at because they never attack. Launching a beam will make them move too. If not Frieza, just side-hits, teleport-hits, little outmatch in speed.

Ignore them and battle someone else. Then when they come to 2-1 fight, charge up a beam, turn off fly, and blast it into them and get a double-kill

Usually people that sit back and how don't have much skill so I like to teleport close to them and keep doing it so that they can't swoop. Its a lot of fun and annoys the heck out of them.

LOOOOOOOL, Lynx is talking about, how to defeat HOWer! looooooool
Lynx is the biggest hower I know, loooooooooooooooool, and he talk about deafeat HOWer!!!!!!
Lynx, lern how to don´t HOW, and than you can talk anything about HOWer!

The only way you win fight vs good players is "HOW" and than you insult the other people that they HOW, loooooool!!!!!

Lynx....... the only thing you can do is HOW and combos, but combos can everybody I think and HOW too!

And please, do never talk anything bad about HOWer, because you are self the biggest HOWer that exist!!!!!!

PS: And you are very afraid of the Element X Fighters Clan !

My personal technique on how to go against the waiting technique (won't say HOW, since Halorin denounced the term o_O): High sensitivity and going around your opponent's last minute attack and getting them from the side. If you don't prefer this sort of sensitivity, you can also stop your swoop, teleport to the side and hit the opponent from the side, as well.

Kreshi, enjoy a :warning: warning :warning: for cornering out a particular person in a public discussion on the forums, and also for advertising your clan website.

The forums aren't a place for throwing negative comments on other ESF players. What happens in game servers is a different issue and please do not bring them to the forums again. I expect you will not repeat this.

*Edit*
(Lynx, do not respond to this, as I know you might have a strong tendancy to do so, as your doing so will only create a flame war on this thread.)

Listen up, n00b. As far as I know I do not "HOW" and since the term is destroyed by Halorin, don't use it. If grOOvy wouldn't of responded, I'd flame the living **** out of you, so be happy he did. Another thing, I do NOT fear any clan alive in ESF, and especially not yours. I believe I know you from Gamezone and GameCity, you and your "clanmate" liked to 2on1 me, and lost deeply, so please cut the crap. If your not satisfied, I'll have a clanmatch with your clan just to prove you your wrong, if you think that is needed.

Ask any person alive, I'm not a "headon" person. And if your going on about that again, I'll make a demo when I'm fighting your "clan" and tada, point proven.

[Edit: Ugh and wtf is this about you teleporting? It's a miracle if you even move. And no, tele attacks barely have effect to me, except when I'm not playing with my mind on the game.]

Lynx is one of the best melee players in ESF. (And I have proof, I was getting beating of my life ;\ and still have a demo of lynx fighting)

And howing doesn`t exist it just the way you play.

Example: Camping in CS is also a way how you play the game.

Ontopic: Well I don`t really have a tatic I just play.

I don`t care if I win or lose, whats the big deal, it`s just a game.

And no I don`t suck. o_O

Edit: I just remembered I don`t have the movie any more cause I format my PC ;(

the point is if you do not move you waste less ki then when swooping.. so if you both start at max ki and he swoops while you stay you got a ki advantage.. this makes you hit him.

get ki. ;D
