High Speed Gatling?

Kiedo · 08-11-2007, 08:15 PM

So I was in a Gladiator today and I managed to pull off a Dagger Gatling, which is not uncommon. The strange thing is that the speed of the Lunge was much faster than what I've always seen. The wind-up delay before the Lunge was gone and it was as if I had Stabbed the enemy instead. I've been unable to recreate it as of yet although there are certain methods I have not tried.

YouTube - Quick Gatling

There is also the possiblity that this was caused by lag on the end of my opponent. As you can tell from the video, I was just coming out of a Lunge before the actual Gatling and so it's possible that the original Lunge hit him and the lag caused a delay. However, there are several reasons for me to doubt this:

We see him move backwards after my initial Lunge, indicating that he sees my movements as they happen.
I get flipped when he flips as opposed to several seconds before or after.
I distinctly remember there being two other players in that room and the highest ping was in the 100's.

So what do you think? Is it lag or could it be possible to cut the delay of a Lunge in certain situations?

Do you record every match?
Yeah its pretty fast.

I started recording because something else funny happened to me, I managed to safe fall by landing on someones head in mid-air. I just missed it on the replay but caught this by chance a few minutes later.

I haven't been able to recreate it. I just now noticed that the guy Dashed right before he Flipped me, that might have something to do with it so I'll test it out later.

I've had that save me before on Stairway and Dungeon when several people get flipped around the same time. I think that I collided with them as I reached the apex of my ascent and they reached the beginning of their descent.

looks like you finished your lunge, stab lunge flip again.

When they figure out they are all extremely situational and can recreate them.

Win.

10 lol

Kiedo · 08-12-2007, 06:41 PM

How many of my moves are situational? I never said this was a new move, just something interesting that happened that might eventually turn into a new move.

It's the new Lunge Tap!

Any variety of gatling is VERY situational.

Gamer_001 · 08-12-2007, 08:55 PM

Watching the replay any number of things might have caused it. The most obvious are:

1: You were flipped at almost the exact same time you lunged.
2: You were on uneven ground.
3: He was dashing at you.

I think the most probabal thing is a combination of 2 and 3.

Noric · 08-12-2007, 09:08 PM

Well the dash was allowed by the uppercut.
