Block hitting is used in many instances. Perhaps it can be considered nooby, but whatever helps you win is a good tactic. The reason why many people love MCSG is because of the tactical side of it. Block hitting is a tactic, and I believe that we should accept all tactics! Thank you for your feedback!Block hitting is for the ones who can't strafe and is looked down on and should be looked down on block hitting is bad...
...All the good people don't block hit so why should you?
I'm sorry! I guess I haven't been in the community long enough! Thank you for the correction.As a former top player that also played with the other top players, blockhitting was not something we did often.
I will stand by and agree never attack and block hit...(clears throat)
Block Hitting 101:
1. Left-click to hit someone
2. Immediately after that, right-click to defend an attack.
WARNING: Do not spam right-left-right-left because it is cheap and there are so many disadvantages to this. Only block-hit when under attack. NEVER ATTACK USING BLOCK-HITTING!
finally someone who actually grasps the concept of comboing.Blockhitting has another function as well, to act as a RSKH in order to get extra knockback
I will quote StanMPL here~
"This is stupid how much everyone relies on blockhitting. There are plenty of ways to get great knockback. To get great knockback all you need to do is interupt your sprint with something that stops you from sprinting like sneaking, taking your finger off forward key for a split second or pressing the s key. The only difference with these is that they are slightly harder to do than blockhitting and blockhitting stops you from hitting while you are blocking, so you cant accidentally get a non knockback hit on them. Personally if the rumors are true and blockhitting/hybrid blockhitting are removed. I will be sneakhitting to 8 block."
Hybrid blockhitting is much more effective^ Basically you swing and right click for half a second and it causes insane knockback
Schmockyyy explains in a video here-
I have played MCSG since minecraft 1.2.5, and block hitting was always outclassed by strafing. I can't recall a single good player from before the the fishing rod got popular who block hitted (in eu). I actually think block hitting works better now in combination with the fishing rod.Thank you for your feedback! Though it may seem I don't know what I'm talking about, many people did use block hitting as opposed to strafing. Back in 1.6, strafing was a tad bit more difficult because we did not have a sprint key. Now we have a sprint key, strafing is a lot more easier. Before the sprint key, every time we time we hit someone, we stopped sprinting! This is why many people resorted to block hitting.
