Another little tip is if you get pulled in by a warriors whip. Just mash the parry button. By the time your character stands up youll have a pefectly timed parry ready for the second attack the warrior always does after pulling you in.

@deejay554 Ай бұрын

The description of trampling stride is false. You have to let go the button as soon as you start doing stomp and then press and hold it again. It works flawlessly this way.

The chain sword is amazing. What stands out to me, is that it's easy to read visually (guard breakers being punches, kicks...). So it lets you know exactly what's going on - compared to the knife where heavy and light attacks are often too similar.

I appreciate the cadence, pace, and volume of the commentary. A lot of tutorial type videos for games will have overly enthusiastic commentary with poor articulation full of interjections of how "absolutely broken" a build or moveset is without clearly stating how or why. I've watched a few videos of yours for space marine 2 and have appreciated how well thought and how clearly delivered all of your points are. Still great enthusiasm, still energetic and dynamic commentary, and all clearly delivered. So, kudos for clarity and editing, and of course, informative content.

Trigger discipline. That's definitely what I need to practice here - it's so easy to just get stuck into a big crowd and start spamming because it feels cool, but I rarely get the big stomp off because of losing track. I stayed to the end!

@VampKain696 Ай бұрын

Switching punch for charging attack is worth it. Not for the attack but for shortining your combo. Thing is if you hold melee button for like 100ms (this timing is very important here) the game will not register it as a charged attack but as a second swing of the combo. Which means that you can perform stomp not as a 4th attack in combo chain but as 3rd. And in big waves of minoris this can be super useful. Even in mixed waves when you don't have a lot of time to make long combo one less swing is a game changer.

@skyhymitch Ай бұрын

Clear instructions! What I like about Jedi Survivor is the saber combat being focused on parries and positioning in order to maximize solid strikes. I think SM2 took that concept and sped up the pace. Your point about not spamming the attack button I think is the most important because you need to be more reactive in order to get the parries and dodges not just to avoid damage but to maximize your output thanks to the aim shots you are given as a reward. The fact combat is more difficult than other hack slash games makes it more rewarding when you cleave through six warriors and your health bar has not been touched.

@allbriardup6451 Ай бұрын

This is spot on, although 1 light then kick won’t stun lock them as after the second kick the majoris doesn’t give AF and attacks you but allows a nice option for the incoming parry. The shoulder bash seems to stun them as if you did two light +kick combos, I could be wrong but it feels like it’s accurate during gameplay. You make great content and I’ve learned things through playing but your videos actually benefit players as opposed to some videos that don’t give decent advice 👍

@doh0702 Ай бұрын

Oh you don't know the secret tech 2-light attack into stomp combo. The first relic perk in the bottom perk tree replaces the punch with a charge attack. All you gotta do to activate the two-light-stomp combo is you start the charge animation but for like a split second and then release which puts you in the second light attack in the combo instead of the first light attack. Effectively giving you the stomp combo in only 3 inputs instead of usual 4. This effectively means you also can do a 1-light tackle combo making the kick combo useless.

@phucletran2860 Ай бұрын

I’ve tried it, more janky than double stomp. What more, i find that some protection from ranged attack is better. Edit: kick combo is not useless, you just haven’t fully utilize it. The kick can stun lock and ground majoris or higher, slash kick, slash kick, slash kick, guys couldn’t retaliate.

@doh0702 Ай бұрын

@@phucletran2860 unfortunately for you this is a you problem. My playgroup for tabletop40k I taught this to have no problem with execution. Every single heavy attack in the game can be executed with a slight and very short hold and release instead of using your entire finger strength to hold that button down until the animation finishes. Light-kick is a trap. Maybe it works for you with tyranids because they’re unequivocally easier. You waste your time keeping one or two rubrics in stun lock while if you commit to two light stomp then you gain room to breathe and a gunstrike for armor and more damage in an area in less time. Double stomp doesn’t give you two gun strikes it gives one then overwrites the first stomp gs with second stomp. They’ve yet to release lethal difficulty yet so everyone stuck on kick combo or the three lights to stomp probably need to learn the two-light stomp.

@phucletran2860 Ай бұрын

@@doh0702 a Me problems perhaps, yes. Fortunately, i figure the combo myself and used it. I see your point, however, i will still argue that the light kick is not as useless or a trap as you think. I don’t say your is bad. The janky i meant is how much sensitive the heavy attack, just enough to not go into charge, and that where my point, in intense combat situation, not everyone can execute it that well, and will try to fall back on the most reliable. This is even worse if you go solo, or with randos. Another thing, you give a mix match example to illustrate your point. Cause when you stun lock and take out majoris, dealing with minoris is much more manageable, furthermore, dealing with minoris is (if you have a well grasp of melee) already not much of an issue. The example would be you have to illustrate how one light to shoulder bash better than a kick. Edit: second point, more reduce ranged damage when swinging is really better than more of a buff for thing that are already easy to deal with. Dont you hate it that those pesky sniper, range unit peppers away your armor/health, i sure did.

@phucletran2860 Ай бұрын

@@doh0702oh, sorry for another reply. Forgot about this. Your example of gun strike really off somehow, i don’t remember we can gun strike on multiple target. That would be too op. I think you mixed up, the second gun strike is usually the finisher once you got them in executable stage.

@doh0702 Ай бұрын

@@phucletran2860 it would be janky if it was an intended mechanic but it’s not. It’s a combination of two mechanics to create an unintended animation skip. Like how wave dashing in super smash brothers works. People will figure it out. While double stomp is an intended mechanic with unintuitive inputs that make it janky. You also keep talking like you only play tyranids. In chaos missions you have to thin the horde WHILE engaging majoris because minoris have bigger health pools and bigger damage and If you see you’re getting peppered by shots then you do the fast stomp then move your fight to where the ranged are or do the fast stomp then shoot them. The idea that you keep getting shot at while you stun lock one or two majoris makes no sense. If you apply the fast stomp you get two light attacks on a majoris then stomp which will damage the majoris and damage/knock back all enemy types around you while giving you a gunstrike for contested health healing and armour regen. It’s just that the stomp far outweighs any benefit a kick gives.

Don't pick the Double Stomp, pick the Full Throttle. It has a Hidden Mechanic. You can do the Shoulder bash in just 1 light swing and the Stomp in just 2 light swings. To do this, press the melee attack just half a second so your first melee swing's animation will become the 2nd swing animation. Accessing the stomp earlier is key to finishing Solo Ruthless run.

If you have the full throttle perk and time the rev up just right so that you hold the button long enough to not do a standard attack but also not long enough to start the Rev up, you will actually skip the first attack in the combo and go straight to the second, allowing you to go straight to the most powerful single target damage attack of melee weapons: the shoulder charge. Rev cancel -> shoulder charge, Rev cancel -> shoulder charge, best single target dps of all melee weapons in the game. You can also use this to get to the ground stomp faster. Full throttle is the best perk in the tree if you use this animation skip technique that it allows

The charged heavy attack makes the chainsaw a great weapon. 1 gunstike and 1 level 1 charge hit puts ruthless majors 1 shot. 1 or 1 shots from a pistol, or 1 light hit puts them into execution state. Even if you have to cancel the charge, you can still get faster majoris kills by gking for the charge hit again. The sparks that get sent out on the swing seem it be part of the hurtbox too, add that to the forward step when you release the attack and you can chase down backpedaling majors pretty effectively

@kassanova854 Ай бұрын

That last time, about trigger discipline, can be said about every melee weapon. I've been recently playing Assault with the Hammer and more often than not, find myself on the receiving end of a red/blue attack that I can't get out of because I'm locked in the animation. Even with using the tech to animation cancel using the parry, you'll still go through with your attacks sometimes. I'm still trying to beat that into my own head so I can actually survive fighting Chaos Marines especially

I prefer the enemy damage down on stomp+bigger stomp+additional stomp personally. I feel that actual melee damage is a lie since it never feels like it takes any less hits to kill but debuff enemy damage is like giving allies damage reduction which is never a bad thing. Going that route gives the ability to pick up that minoris damage which unlike majoris damage actually works when doing stomps since it is enough to kill (basically if you don’t hit the right breakpoints damage seems to get oddly applied, probably a rounding error somewhere)
