Block Hitting Method?

[nate252]

Block hitting does not work in my opinion.
Yes, you're able to block while you hit.. allowing you to take less damage..
But you're also hitting less, so you're dealing out less damage.
They cancel eachother out.
Also, you're muchh slower while block hitting. Not able to run so you won't be able to get any critical hits.
Players are able to run around, strafe and catch block hitters on fire much more easily.

this. my main tactic is strafe hitting.. I never usually have an issue killing block hitters. I just laugh because they look so silly doing it.

Opinion:

Block hitting, in my opinion is a tactic that can be very helpful, or very bad. The only time I use Block-hitting is when I'm either: Climbing a mountain, fighting in water, If im in an enclosed space, or(if you are good at it) when you are going up against someone with better gear. Another very deadly way of using block hitting is to combine it with Strafing. It is very hard to strafe while block-hitting, but if you can it will be very OP to noobs and you will destroy.

Method:

To block-hit you simply spam left and right click so you take less damage when you get in a fight. It takes alot of practice to get good at block hitting and it is only really effective if you use it in the right situation. There is another very effective way of combining Block hitting and Strafing and if you can do it, you will destroy. Also if you stun them with a fishing rod before you go in for the kill, it will increase your chances of winning immensely.

I rarely Block-hit because I prefer the method where jump over them while landing a critical hit and then hitting them from behind. But in the right circumstances, Block-hitting can be a massive life saver

Block hitting is much more effective than regular hitting when you hit straight on.
I hit the buttons simultaneously.
However, wiser than this strategy is something I call ninja. It's when you run infront of, behind, and all around your opponent, hitting them as you do so. It gets them mixed up and you get plenty of hits, this doesn't work well on hackers though.

xD So hardcore strafing?

With block hitting it limits your movement to strafe and charge people while hitting them, but it does would well in a tight space. Personally I don't mind it because you can easily block hit them back or use their disadvantage to your advantage, I will admit that I sometimes block hit and I don't care what people say because it is a strategy that anyone can do.

I think that block hitting is a statagey that either works for you or doesn't. There's not really a ohh I'm sort of good at it. It's either you can or you can't! But i'm sure if you practiced enought you could all get it! I personally can NOT block hit for the life of me D:
The only person I've actually seen that is successful in block hitting is ThatOneTomahawk!

What it's supposed to do is hit them while taking less damage, but, trust me, it's harder than it looks.

Block hitting is a great strategy when you are in a tiny area and you need to hit someone. You also take a little bit less damage. If you block hit, the person you are facing has a 50%+ chance of block hitting back but not the right way. One trick that most of the time works is she. You block hit on ice ( TSG1, and freeze island, maybe solar frost) you have a high percent chance of actually hitting the person. One thing that sucks about block hit is you can barely strafe so you might get hit a lot of times but its okay cause your block hitting wink wink . And plz don't call people who block hit noobs, it's really annoying and even the people I talk to on teamspeak call me a noob for block hitting. It's a tactic, learn it

Also, to everyone who says block hitting is nooby, it's part of the game. Deal with it. (I personally don't like this tactic though xD

It's a simple function in the game, recieving less damage. For those saying it limits their movements and slows down their hitting speed it's not always the case. There is a correct rhythm (right after the blocking animation) to maintain continiously, and doing so will not deteriate hitting speed, although less then a few people can do it efficiently. And for the movement, it stops people stop sprinting yes, but I've come to combine the strafing and block-hitting strategy together. Running to the side of an opponent, jumping and turning off a degree block-hitting, whilst maintaining strafe. Because once you've jumped in that position the speed is kept some the sprint longer then you are using it head-on.

I don't think anyone was mad, but you have a point.

Block-Hitting works perfectly in close-quarter combat. But only if you can do it correctly.

The update to repeated,Timing rides to destroy the blocks were tightened. Block of a complete square is difficult.
Half block is simple. It is easy to jump over by the direction and block stairs.
However, if there is enough space. I jump with a fishing rod and bow.
Overall, I recognize that you break the block, is advanced technology.
