News topic: PVP
Date occurred: 2/4/17
Paragraph (5-8sentences or more) about this topic: These are common pvp tricks I use when pvping. 1) strafing. Moving left and right while attacking making players having a less chance to hit me. 2) criticals. Jumping down on players increases attack damage. 3) Using a proper mouse that fits you best. 4) trying to hit players from underneath them.

 

Oh boy, there's a lot of wrong about this one.
1) Strafing.
Sure, moving left and right while attacking makes players lose their aim, but to more experienced players just moving left and right the entire time does not work.
There is other types of strafing, circle strafing, where you circle around the player, Straightlining, often combined with S-tap.

2) Criticals.
Criticals makes you take more knockback which leads the player who is not jumping to get a hit, combined with a w tap (as explained in ) can lead into major combos.
There is only 1 scenario where I think Critical Hits do matter, and that is when the player is stuck in a corner with no way to escape.
3) This is actually a very good tip, as a proper mouse does help in PvP, one with customizable DPI, Sidebuttons, etc etc.
4) In KitPvpRetro, there is no way to do this but in Factions, this does help with trapping but in actual PvPing, you cannot hit players from "underneath" them.

 

cough

 

LOL not even past the intro and I'm already crying of laughter

Really guys, if you want to be good at pvp, just find your own style of pvp.. You can't just follow somebodys "amazing strats", you have to find what works for you.

 

Sorry, but you cannot face against the top-pvpers without w-tap or s-tap.

 

df is a ws tap
