:alliance:A funny thing happened the other night. I was in a server playin around and what not when a guy came in and was totally pwning everyone and Im not even exaggerating...He had like over 100 frags and maybe 20 losses if that. Well he eventually challenged me and he came at me while I was bowing :mad:...anywho...He was jumping and swinging and got in a few good hits on me well he was waiting to do that jump/overhand slash thats basically an instant killer when instead I strafed to the right then ran up and did a saber uppercut :P killed him instantly and got the "....noob" comment. So I said "Duel again" and he naturally agreed....so we duel again....I still bow lol but he didnt like I thought....I ran around some...dodged his swings like a champ for once....waited for the perfect opportunity to strike then whaabaaaaam uppercut...."Player X was killed by Ekim Srettes" lol. After another duel or so he got mad and left me a lovely comment like "You f***ing n00b...ur using hacks...this rooms gay." ....player x disconnected. I love it when people come in and act bad and lame and cuss everyone out then you just annilhiate them with blue stance LMAO:P:alliance:

Countering BF's... Im not sure wether this works or not, but heh, just maybe ^^

At the end of a BF (not the sideways BF, but the froward 1) there is a spin, meaning the staffer's back is exposed. Now, you can hit that with a well-timed overhead, sciccors, or uppercut. (For as far as i know :/)

Just not when they spin their mouse :D

Again, Im not entirely sure wether this works or not :eek:

add the overhead when the staff has done the flip bit and is kinda spinning slowly around with the saber angled down a bit i think, then hit him with an overhead, lunge or buzzsaw :)

On the BWN servers is where I encounter the most butterfly spamming and mouse sensing staff saber users. My usual tactic with dual sabers, if I spot it in time is just to us the duals kata. Don't spin the mouse or anything (like most people do when they use it :( ) just keep your focus on the staffer and their butterfly gets completely blocked while you do a fair amount of damage to them. Of course it depends on the mods damage and deflection settings, so bear that in mind, but I have also had success with this move on JA servers. However on JA servers you don't get 90% of staffers doing butterflys and then spinning aimlessly, so I haven't had the chance to use it tht often (luckily :P ).

With single, which I'll admit I'm not so good with, I just try to stay out of the way of the butterfly until right at the end. Then there is a gap on their last flip that you can hit (unless they are spinning :( ) and just try to cut through with a red uppercut. I don't know how good this tactic really is, but sometimes it works for me and sometimes it doesn't. I guess it's in the timing.

I havnt found a good counter against staffs BF yet...i was actually hoping someone would help me (and there were a few ppl who said stuff like: yea next time imma show u uber leet counter vs BF!).
But errr...nvm...im still working on it myself.

Dual BFs are pretty easy to counter, imo.Just add an overhead at the end of their BF and they should be dead...or at least injured =)

Ive made pretty negative experiences with using a lunge against a staff BF...could be just me tho...as pointed out above > im still working on it.

yeah, in fact it works better because dual BFs cant be aimed as mush as a staff BF. just watch people when they BF and youll soon see the gap in which to strike.

lunge if you can, otherwise a dodge and an overhead always seems to work :)

Wow... you summed up my feelings in a nutshell. :D I totally agree, I should work on finding counters for BF spamming. I was just wondering though, for a red master, is it wise to use an upward diagonal swing against a BF; or should I sidestep and do a side swing; or should I just dodge, and then wait for the cooldown?

Time to add my opinions =D

The first thing you should definately avoid is frustration.If someone beats u in a gay way...you can do 3 things.
1) Ignore it and try to beat him the next time.
2) Leave the server and join another one.
3) Beat him in your own dirty way.

Lets just say...there is someone who spamms BFs constantly (and lets just assume hes some sort of newbie who is just randomly spamming them...and yes there are other ways of spamming BFs which are even more mean then the random spam...like...starting the BF directly infront of you while spinning like a mofo...ive seen it all lol)...and you fall into them and get beaten.
Theres one conclusion you SHOULD draw from that experience...
If he beats you with random BFs...then it just means that you arnt able to counter them correctly.And if you cant counter them correctly...then it just means you have to work on that.
Ask a JAK+ or one of your fellow students to help you with that problem and im sure youll come up with a good counter...and once u got good at countering BFs...make the spammers pay.
If someone notices that his move isnt working at all...then i guess hes gonna stop doing it and change tactics (or not...which is even better for you).

For me, its like...if someone adds dirt to the game (like poking/swaying/spinning/wiggling/spamming) then im gonna answer with dirt.Maybe its just me (im sure it is) but im kinda fed up with beeing unable to beat pokers and spinners the "clean" way.Yes, there are methods to beat them...and it requires tons of skill to beat someone like that...but if hes gonna choose that path, then im gonna show him that it requires no skill at all to beat him and his way of fighting (and maybe make him realize how poor it is to fight like that).

Take Care and good luck

I fully admit I am a red stance user, and I am nowhere near "elite master" status :P. But still, come on... You must say, it is slightly frustrating, at least, to fight a guy who butterflies exclusively (noobs, I am in no way insulting real skilled users of BF.), and keep getting hit. Don't get me wrong; I am fully aware of the skill needed to BF - I used to use dual sabers - and I highly respect masters of any saber. However, even you must admit, fighting a guy who butterflies every 3 seconds and then when he beats you (by like 5 hp lol), and you want a rematch, he refuses, saying he "pwnd" you, is a tad frustrating. Again, sorry if I sound like a sore loser, but consider the circumstances. Would you be calm if someone repeatedly BF'd you, then taunted you endlessly?

EDIT: BTW, I know it is easy to see a butterfly coming, but when the guy forces you to run all the time... A bit stressing.


yeah, it can get frustrating. best thing to do is just counter. playing spammers really isnt any fun, youre right there, I just dont duel them again. i play games to have fun, not get mad at spammers. if they taunted me, id ignore it (yeah easy to say i guess ;)) or just find another server. clan serves and oones with admins tend to have less laming and spamming going on ive found :)

Great skill... As in doing a butterfly repeatedly without even swinging? I'm sorry if I sound like a sore loser, but have u ever fought a person who all they did was butterfly. As in... NO swings or movement?


yes great skill. put it this way. its pretty easy to see a BF coming, then you move out of the way. that way you dont get hit and die.

i think almost everyone here has played BF spammers. as long as a move is good people will spam it, katas and red aerials etc. but, there a little thing we like to call 'countering' :P this would involve punishing the spammer for making the mistake of spamming. this may be a buzzsaw, red overheadm lunge or whatever.

the fact remains, Bfs are easy to see and havea long cooldown, you can exploit this to your advantage. plus you could argue the same about many things, like holding right and attack to do a red side swing.

the SKILL is in aiming ant timing so they hit your opponent.

btw: are you a red stancer? :)

As well, it is extremely annoying when people run around, and then do a butterfly and get lucky. Then when they beat you with absolutely no skill but button mashing, they brag about how good they are, and saying how you were pwned. I'd really like to meet those guys in real life, and see how they talk then. ;)

It's also very annoying when the other guy runs and keeps trying to do DFA's, and then you are forced to keep waiting and attacking, which displays no skill at all. I hate those "jump monkeys", because when I do beat them, it gives me no sense of satisfaction, nor do I improve my skill. That is another way to cheese off a red stance user, although not directly. :P

Does anyone else see amazing irony when player A uses the same red attack over and over and over.

Then when you find the counter, you counter him/her over and over and over.

And all of a sudden your the noob who can only do one thing.........................
