ok. before i go on with this. i do not want spamming. flaming. or general imaturity in this thread. if there is any. i will ask a admin to lock the thread.

ok. this thread is basicly asking all of you what YOU personaly think of sploits but i dont want ''they are for noobs becuaset hey are for a easy win. becuase its bull'. i want reasons on opinions. and i want good reasons. becuase in my time at the JA i have noticed how many people here. CAN or HAVE . or DO sploitz outside the ja. and i find it funny that with so many people doing it. they still seem to hide it in the ja. i will openly admit. i SPLOITS sometimes out of the ja. im in a clan. sploits. but i still seem to be able to play reasonably without poke. someone at the ja once said [no names] ''ja is about how you move. not about how good ur poke is.'' although yes, poke helps massive damage. but if i stand still. and poke. i can still be hit. if i run in one direction and poke. i can still be hit. even if my opponent doesent poke.

thanks.

-peace

Meh. The fact remains that you will never be REALLY good at jka unless you use pokes or sways. If we could just make everyone who plays sign a contract saying they wont poke, that would be great, but sadly it cant happen, and i dont want to suck just because im too worried about "honor".
It's not about honor, it's about whether or not your winning with skill or with gayness. I don't do either, and I'm pretty good.
I've seen you play, Mike, and well..let me put it like this: Much to learn you still have.

are you really that experienced to say that?
i think i remember how you fight - staff+swaying.
i also think that you are a bit impatient (thats what i saw in classes)

conclusion : you werent patient enough to try learning the ways of normal honorable sabering.

please dont take this as a flame. i just think that to know something you must have some experience.

Setementor makes an excellent point. I'd like to add this: I can teach somebody who has never played a jk series game to wiggle side swings and yaw etc. in about half an hour, to the point where they will be able to kill people in a server. Now, does that take skill? or just a willingness to win NOW, not to take time and actually get good?

The next part is how I personally see things. It's just my opinion, so as stated in the main post, don't flame it or anything.

Anybody can fight how they like. But that doesn't mean I will always respect the way some people do.

You can play "fair" and use tactics that just deal a fair amount of damage, or you can play "unfairly" by using a tactic that will pretty much destroy your opponent first hit. You really have two choices: play fairly and have a nice duel that you enjoy lots, or take the easy way out, play unfairly and have a short, boring duel.

Some one-hit kills aren't considered exploits. Whether or not they are, using such tactics often in your duels isn't showing much honour to your opponent.

Since it is a game, I'd rather have fun, fair duels rather than just having hits that destroy me or tactics that overpower people used. When I go against moves that are made to repeatedly destroy me in say less than 30 seconds, I literally just get bored. Games are intended to give you something to do, not bore you.

If there's a tactic you're not sure about, think about it. Would it overpower almost everyone? Is it dishonourable? Is it taking "the easy way out"?

Basically, in my opinion, there are people who won't consider others when deciding on their use of tactics.

You can either have a blast and maybe even achieve a great skill level, or just do everything you can to be the very best, using high-damaging moves, usually quick-finishes to most duels and pretty much doing everything not considering your fellow opponents.

Anyway, that's just how I see things.

ow goodie, seems like a nice challenge Tal :D

On topic then. I do poke outside the academy, altho im not very good at it. Im actually enjoying it, but I have a lot of respect for guys that fight 'clean' all the way. I just find swaying yellow and poking red too fun and tempting to not use them.

And yeah, its kinda noobish. Winning your matches purely on aiming requires the most skill (by far). Altho poking isnt as easy as it looks, it IS the easy way. IMO, everyone should just choose their own path.

Also, you can argue about the term 'exploit' itself. Are poking and swaying really 'exploits'? It depends on how one views them. Some say they are exploits, because the game-developers never meant for them to be used. Others say they are just part of the game and the engine, no-one ever added/changed something about the game to make poking/swaying effective. We can all form an opinion about this.

To sum things up: to spl0it or not to spl0it, thats the question. :)

Well, there is an easy way to decide it, you fight me with your "SPLOITZ", and I'll play like I normally play, then the outcome will decide whether or not You and/or your technique is nub. siddy_ous@hotmail.com is my msn.

Thers a reason its called an exploit. "reasonably well" in a game thats been around for as long as JKA has = nub.

Yes, you are both nubs. If you need to shake your mouse or spin or yaw your yellow, then you arent a good player. Perhaps youd like a lesson.


thats just a strange way to look on sploits. i can play resonably well with nonpoke aswell. so that theory goes out the window.

No. No they're not. We're taught here that exploits are merely part of the games structure, if someone wants to battle that way, fine. It does not make them a noob. I think "exploits" are just a different form of tactic, rather than an exploit. :)

There is nothing exploitative about aiming your saber throughout the swing, and as Mastz00r said, that is not poking. Basically, in my view, people who use exploits are still easy to beat, as you cant really yaw or wiggle and still have a really good view of your opponent, at least not the same view as you would if you just aimed. Those that need them, fine by me if they use them, becaus ei use it to my advantage and they will only get the occasional 1 hit kill on me.

Well Saz the actual term for the thing you call "wiggle" is poke. Seemingly english speaking people have a problem with that, since it doesnt originate from the english word "to poke" nor does it relate to it in anyway.
The thing you call "poking" which actually relates to the english word "to poke" is usually known as "aiming". This term and technique will be taught at classes by ranked members as well.

Youre free to call it whatever you want though, just make sure to not mix them up while you talk.

i think we have enough of threads like that.
also im sure you know whats a sploit and what ppl think about those.
and ofcourse poke is just aim (and yeah it delivers pretty damage too if ya know what i mean ;) ). wiggle is mad mouse movement.
make sure you dont mix poke and wiggle while u talk ;)
