Well I finally learned what wiggle is, but I don't have a clue about poke. I am basically looking for a n explanation and some advice here, how many of you here use wiggle and poke?, what is poke?, and are either worth learning?.

heh, the Aurochs managed to reach number 3 in the ESL TDM ladder a few weeks ago, and we are the only non wiggle team in the league. We consider it an exploit, and we can beat almost any TFFA team in jka when at full strength, so gg to your 'you only moan cos you cant beat it lolz!' theory.

Lol. i can garantee ive had more exploit experience than you, and i know why i would 'want' or 'need' to use it.and i used to think the same xD so im actualy laughing from Dayjavoo. Abusing it as in gaining multiple hits within a single swing.

Lofl. Meant to use it? Its not using the velocity engine, its abusing it. theres a difference.

I disagree, Kano. I'm sure there are many people who can beat pokes and wiggles using legitimate means and still don't support them. They exploit obvious holes in the game and give you an illegitimate advantage over people who choose to play fairly. They may require a lot of practice to get right, but that doesn't make them any less of an exploit. Being really good at them is all well and good, if not impressive, but using them is another thing.

Not being able to beat a move does not qualify as a good reason for calling it an exploit; the fact that the move exploits a glitch in the game does. When I first started playing the game, I was beaten by a simple right swing almost every time I played and never thought of it as an exploit.

Abusing a hole in the game to gain a clear advantage over your opponent is dishonourable.

learning how to sploit is not a bad thing and using them is not a bad thing. if u come up against someone who is poking and wiggling it can sometimes be difficult to counter so using poke and wiggle back is the best way if u really care about. i know how to wiggle and to poke and they are both difficult to do well and need different skills to use well. the "poke" is a good move where by turning your charater you keep your saber in the same place in order to cause maximum dmg in one swing which needs a great deal of aim. wiggling is a simple technique where the person wil through out a swing and then wiggle is to increase the velocity of the saber and also making it pass throught the enemies body many times this move is easier then poke but u do need to hav good movement skills to give yourself the best chance of landing it well. there is also a third move which only the people who are very skilled do which is a combination of the both they will through out a swing and poke it and then wiggle it once it has reached the height of the swing.

oh well gg =P if u wanna learn and use them i don't see anythign wrong many people don't like people who do this becuase they can't win because they don't unstand the move and how to do it effectivly.

the thing about poking etc. "exploits" is that too many players now have either learned theese tacitcs too early in their "jka development" OR used them so long that they have come to rely on them over other tactics. Certain players never fully developed their movement abilities and certain other players have let their movement skill degrade heavily because they came to rely on the pokeing to get saber blocks instead of actually dodgeing their opponents saber. If you so choose to poke etc. do at least make sure that you develop other fundamentals prior to spamming sploits and dont forget how you played the game before you used wiggles as well.:alliance:

tbh, i dont hear that at all, people, like it or not seem to presume if you do, have ever, or are starting to, Poke, you are automaticly 'bad' they seem to think you rely on it, i will freely admit i can and have sploited, yet i know how to duel to a certain extent without it.

<3 the anti poke attitude.

however.
If you like to be good at playing the game like the JA wants you to play it, namely, as it should be without exploiting bugs etc, don't use it.

If you just care about winning duels, (Which is completely up to yourself, don't let anyone tell you otherwise) sploit away.
Using sploits doesn't mean you suck, or wouldn't win without, like you'll hear from most people. You just play like you choose to play. Which is different. that's all.

Have a nice day.

Indeed, your basis should always be aim. Some people add poke/wiggle for the offensive/defensive boost.

Others tho use poke/wiggle to make up for their lack of proper aim. This may work to some degree, but will only get you so far.

Moral of the story: it pays off to train up your aim/jump/movement skills, especially in the long run.

Liking and learning are 2 different things, with no disrespect to anyone, the academy is extremely paranoid about exploits, worth learning? IOd say so. worth using? No. learn it to know how you would play with it, how others would do so... thats my 2 cent anyway

it is worth to learn only under one rule - to be good you must learn everything your opponent knows.

Poke and Wiggle don't worry if you make mistake,
somebody will say for you something.
Poke and Wiggle somebodies see that way of art, somebodies don't. Get confused and you will learn.

No body likes a poker here, so i doubt one would get many duels, although Im sure you could get someone here to teach you sploitz if you wanted.
But if you realy want to test yourself don't rely on glichez, remember it's not about winning, no one cares about your frag count except you. GL HF :D

Wiggles and pokes seriously exploit the game engine to a level I really doubt the game developers would have intended. They really aren't worth learning if you want to play the game clean. There are a good amount of people who won't have very much respect for somebody using them. But to my knowledge, there aren't currently very many that use them here at all, and any that do aren't very active on the academy's servers.

Wiggle and poke are the very same things. The english speaking jk3 players confuse those 2 terms easily, due to the word "poke" beeing usually associated with the verb "to poke". However, the jk3 term "poke" doesnt have any relation to the english verb "to poke", it was actually invented and used by european players to describe the technique you know as "wiggling" and originates from the word "pokemon" instead.

Oh and nope, its not worth learning. =D
