yeah delayed combos, peasey weasy easy peasey weasy :)

Its jsut normal combos, but delayed. You have to learn the timing, cos too soon or too late and they won't work. Everyone says don't do spins cos they are too slow, but if you throw in a delayed one every now and then, you can catch people.

About the spins when saber clashes, thats kinda weird. You can spin one way into someone, sabers clash, then you end up spinning the other way. You can only do this with no opponent in yellow stance, not red. Very curious.

yeah I know what you mean. Like you make a swing, make another move afterwords and it turns into a nice spin combo. have been trying to figure those out, but its hard. it also includes jumps and all. Or do you mean that when the sabers clash som1 makes a spin? coz thats old style. Hux knows a lot of that. but he's not here anymore is he...:(

any1 who knows more of this stuff?

Exar- I had some practice sessions with several people, namely Jedi Prodigy, Swordheart, and a couple others I can't remember. During these sessions, it became very apparent to me that dueling goes A LOT F-ING DEEPER THAN I EVER THOUGHT!

By deeper, I mean the following: it seems that if you delay keystrokes for a certain period of time, you can open up some seemingly "secret" combos or whatever that normal people don't know about. Like delayed combo-ing. Have to ask Swordheart to explain better.

Regardless, if possible I would like to include in the Holocron the keystrokes to these seemingly unknown-to-a-certain-few combos. I believe this is at the heart of JA, and they should very much be described and included.

Let me know what you think. Anyone else with comments, please submit.

Heck, I'm bored. Gotta do something to keep our Holocroney minds active. ;)

hey varan before you do that I have something which might help you on your way.. I actually did the same research but never finished it.. my research was about the max dmg of a move and allso if it vary's much, I have pretty much moves allready but not typed out, think I'll type it out :D then you can use it or we could ofcourse compare ours coz the max dmg of a move is hard to find, you have to try many times...

It allready contains some nice facts (besides the max dmg from a move itself) like:
a move with rage doesnt do more dmg than the same move without rage;
sidekick and frontkick have the same max dmg but sidekick does more dmg most of the time;
ydfa has a higher max dmg than rdfa although that allmost never happens and ydfa is the move where the dmg varies the most;
the blue backstab does more dmg than the yellow and the red backstab;
In a grip kick you need to hit at least three kicks to kill someone with 100 health not healing;
and other stuff like that, but this post if defenitelly too long.. I better stop be4 i bore you all ;)

I have been talking about the Holocron project with Jake. I like the Holocron project and would like to contribute. I came up with the idea to add how much damage each saber move does... well i am willing to research this. Just say if this is something you can add the Holocron. Ill need someone to do the research with me :D

Whilst I have my main sections, I have been keeping an eye out for anything that might be useful for the others. I've got the HUD bars for the saber stances, they look proper good, so I think you should put them in. Also have a screenshot of what the person looks like when they're stationary in each stance.

I havn't seen it yet so send it on over someone, if you get a chance.

Got it. Looks good. I sent it to underhill for primary editing. Once done, he'll send it around to everyone on MoS's Holocron staff list. So, you guys should see it shortly and can make secondary edits.

Thanks for a good job, Exar. :)

ok people, I've sent in a draft version ro Ruuk. Rendar and Icco: sry, but I didn't need any help anymore. I was already pretty far with it when you guys offered help. I expect to have to make a lot of changes though, so I'll probably not be finished yet.

Exar - I dragged in another one (Rendar) to work with you. Yer gettin all sorts of help now! Perhaps you could hook up via irc and ask him questions. Or: you develop questions, give them to icco, and he'll take care of that. Delegate away, baby... :)

You "win" when:

You’re still alive and striving to survive
You keep a cool head.
You accept the fact that you will not always be the absolute best.
You remember where you are and where your opponents are.

You "loose" when:

You give in to anger.
You give too much importance to the score.
You let yourself become overconfident.
You rush in blindly
You forget WHERE you are.
You neglect your other senses (like hearing)
