who wins in a meelee swoop

[woodyfly]

what decides who wins when 2 swoop at each other with meelee (right click)?
sometimes i kick them, sometimes i kick me... how does it work

it depends when you started swooping if youve been swooping longer then your opponent tries to swoop at you from fourty feet away (which is not alot in HL) you will win

there is a certain time after you start swooping, where melee actually begins to start. i dunno what the time is though. ask pcjoe he knows. If both have melee commenced then it will be a head on and both will be knocked back.

Adv. Melee vs. Basic Melee:(When two(2) players swoop at each other, but one player is holding the secondary mouse button(right click)) Basic melee hits first then the person using Adv. Melee is allowed to prepunch up to Twelve(12) hits, he or she cannot throw or start combos.

No, that's not always true grega. Because like i said- there is a certain time limit you have to be swooping for melee to actually commence when your holding down the right mouse button. If you start swooping to soon, and your opponent swoops longer, you will get knocked back and they won't. So it's like a reverse HOW.
