Double Tap Swoop?

[Pain]

sounds better all the time

 

[ZeonStar]

I really like this idea and I think it would work great with the new system IMO.

 

[Majin_You]

Well, I think it works quite well, and, with proper tweeking, should turn out to be an excellent element in the game. And, I will follow the original consensus about judging a book by its cover

 

[TwisteR]

I like this idea alot better than how it currently works.
so will this new swoop method work with other attacks selected? i would imagine so.

 

[Halorin]

Indeed, MP. It really kinda changes the dynamic and use for kiblasts and beams and stuff, which is a mixed bag, in my opinion. Now beamers can always be as evasive as someone melee'ing. Sure, they aren't charging a beam when they swoop, but.. I don't know. It's already pretty hard to kill someone using yellowblast. It's going to be all the more harder now.

Watch out for the Evade Whore.


And if that becomes an actual term that people use as an insult like people did with my HOW term, I will stab.

Yes. Stab.

 

[TwisteR]

im not saying swoop while charging or firing a beam, just with that attack selected.

 

[Jonesdaniel]

yeah, as its been previously stated, you can swoop without the melee attack selected. You only need the melee attack to start the autopunches etc...

 

[Shuyin]

Hmm this idea sounds pretty fun actually.
Yeah i guess it will be harder to hit people, but there ki cant last forever to keep them dodging.
Uh, can any attacks be performed while swooping, so like "Swoop after them + charge a beam"? (perhaps just a generic?)

 

[Jonesdaniel]

i think just a generic would be ok, but it wouldnt really be very fair if someone is chasing a guy charging a kamehameha, trying to peform melee on them, and by the time they get to them they can bomb quater of the map :fight:

 

[Halorin]

As of now, there are no attacks that can be charged during swoops. I don't think that will be changing, either. But I'm not sure.

 

[!XxShAdOwxX!]

DT was shooting homing attacks at me

Literal homing attacks :]. Or just like scatter beams?

I hope it stays like that, I don't want another option that beam spammers can use.

 

[GMan]

The only beam that should be useable during swoop, in my opinion, is burning attack.

 

[grOOvy]

Booya, finally had time to get back on the forums.

I absolutely *love* the double tap swoop just because of the 'fun-factor' involved. I've been playing around with it a lot, and oh-boy, swooping in different directions to evade attacks and blah blah... it's by far the best advancement in melee uptil-date. Oh, and double tapping the jump button (space bar by default) makes you swoop up. So if a beam's coming at you and you're at the ground, a double jump makes you fly UP UP AND AWAY!... err, right.

Watch out for the Evade Whore.

Yes. Stab.

OMG, haha x'D... that just made my day, lol...

I like the double tapping idea because at some point I hope the team takes my idea of having left click for combos and right click for light knockbacks. If you don't have to have a key pressed to swoop, it'd be that much more sensible to have two mouse buttons free to choose what kind of attack you wanted. If my combo/knockback idea was used, having double tap would take away a lot of the cumbersomeness of having to hold a fire button to swoop.

I'm pretty sure joe is doing that, and this will literally make the old beta 1.1 melee system obsolete - since it is actually a subset of the new system. And I'm sure no-one will run back to the old way of melee with the CVAR if this is implemented. ^_^

----

And the heck with this poll... so many people love it already - if the team at any point decides to -not- use this double tap system, I'm going on strike and coming to hunt each and every one of them down.

P.S. - @GMan: googlism really relates to double tapping, bravo .

****ing hell, ******* groov!!! wont even let your own flat-m8 see 1.2, always locking the door to test... grrrr

accordin to what people have been saying, it sounds fun and really like this compared to the ghey charging as before.

 

[AMoron]

W/e I Said I Would See What Its Like ..................
This Is JoeJustJoe Cause I Was Banned For Some Reason IF People Are Like...?

Thats the team's descision not his :]

I agree the new swoop sounds like it will make melee so much fun

 

[SNAKE EYES]

Well, I think that's it'd tha same as all things:
Once used to it, u 'll love it. The esf-team knows what they're talking about and i trust in them to choose a good melee system.

 

[Pcjoe]

It's more along the lines of his choice actually. We don't really care if you let your roomate play/see 1.2, just as long as he doesn't go around leaking information -_- We do start to mind when you start handing out the inteam though ^_^

Guess I read it too fast, thought he was just one of his friends from the internet o_o

in the middle of your swoop, can you change your attack. ex. you have gg selected mystery man comes at you and you swoop away but want to melee him. can you switch during swoop and start prepunching his ***
