The Matrix Online - Advanced Close Combat Training video

This is another video that I downloaded from the official Matrix Online site years ago. It demonstrates the advanced maneuvers which the three martial arts in MxO impart unto more powerful Operatives.

...well, except that the demonstrated martial arts styles are limited to Kung Fu, and the demonstrated advanced maneuvers are limited to Machine Gun Fists and Piston Kicks. Which is a shame. I'm a Karate fan myself. My karate-kicking martial artist on Syntax routinely flattens people with Sky High Kick and Side Kick Combo, both of which are gorgeous moves. And she also doles out regular helpings of Ki-Charged Punch, which--while it isn't very flashy or acrobatic and demands that you first Stagger the other guy with a Power attack or three--is a powerful-looking, chest-imploding palm smack that will rock somebody's hog. Believe it. :-)

@angeldemonjosh I'm having trouble understanding you here. You mean knowing more about the combat, like analyzing your opponent's stats and such?

[angeldemonjosh]

cool :D

[BloodyBay]

@angeldemonjosh And first. ;-)

I wish there had been a video to demonstrate more special attacks than Machinegun Fists and Piston Kick. My main specialized in Karate, and both Sky-High Kick and Sidekick Combo were cool to watch. In contrast, Ki-Charged Punch wasn't as flashy and it was an Inner Strength hog...but it would just about tear somebody in half.

I need to make that video, too. Good times.

This video is cheesy but gives a good demonstration of some simple combat concepts.
