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.
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.
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
