That video was from the beta where it had a rock-paper-scissors approach to melee. I successfully countered just about every move he made, which resulted in stunning him often.
well then with this block stuff like in this vid its pretty easy to own anyone if you just await them ot hit first right?XD an dofc dont let them get behind ya :P
Yea, pretty much. That's why the melee system has been overhauled a bit since the video. The new system favors players taking action and doesn't strongly encourage people to wait for the enemy to make the first move.
in this vid the pred gets stunned because he attacks tha scout wich is blocking, this only happend with me in the training area if i play online when a hit gets blocked nothing much happens... is the new or what?
Nope. It's very, very old (from the beta). Videos in youtube have a section at the top-right of the page where they display things such as when the video was added (December 24, 2007).
Savage 2's combat system has been updated significantly since this video. It was made to be much more intuitive and less frustrating.
In the current version, when you block someone, your attack speed is boosted temporarily and the enemy attack and movement speed is reduced temporarily.
Having seen how you play, I can see where you're coming from. You seem to do really well with quick-moving fast-hitting units. Preds and legos aren't anywhere near as agile.
I feel that the situation is roughly similar to that of Savage 1, maybe a little worse. Back when I played Savage 1, I had gained a reputation for being the loathsome nomad that many predators avoided in favor of ranged combat. In Savage 2, the scout has been nerfed to the point where it takes much more skill to take out a predator in melee combat.
wait JR, are you S2Mercenary?

I use the default controls, minus an inverted Y axis on the mouse. Sensitivity is probably a tad higher than the default.

unlike savage 1, lesser characters like marksmen have a fighting chance of killing a better unit like this pred
