I at least wanna go through more than half of the moves. ..::: Contents :::.. 1) Introduction 2) Basic Stuff 3) A Little More Advanced Stuff 4) Difficult Stuff 5) Blue Stance Moves 6) Yellow Stance Moves 7) Red Stance Moves 8) Closure ---------------------------------------------------------::: -^--- Introduction ---^- Alright, lets explain what this FAQ is for and what your going to learn. As the title says, you will learn Acrobatics and Moves. What kind of acrobatics and moves do I mean though? Acrobatics in Jedi Outcast can be most commonly be reffered to as flips and rolls. Things that move your body in a combonation of buttons would be reffered to as an acrobatic skill. Moves are things like lightsaber tricks. Special things you can do with a lightsaber for example. I know someone has already written a FAQ on Lightsaber Tactics, but I plan to go into explaining a little bit more. I will also teach you a couple of nice gun tricks to do whenever your in an all out Free For All (FFA). Thats what we are gonna cover in this FAQ!! ---------------------------------------------------------::: -^--- Basic Stuff ---^- Ok, lets learn the basics that you just gotta know. Before we start, if you are a newbie please go into your controls and change everything you want to make it as easy as possible for you!! -- Crouch How To Use : Press the crouch button What It Does : The name says it all :) Helpful Tip : If you are trying to hide turn your saber off and crouch beside a dark object where you cannot be visible! Helpful Tip 2 : In multiplayer, it is of great respect that you bow before a lightsaber duel. Just crouch, then look down to the ground, then look up again. -- Strafe How To Use : Press your strafe left and right buttons What It Does : Strafing is a main thing that keeps you alive. Its a side-step. Use it often! Helpful Tip : Strafe in lightsaber duels so you can move your feet faster, get out of tight places, and dont have to take two seconds to turn around. -- Roll How To Use : While running forwards or backwards, crouch What It Does : Lets you get out of tight places or get behind your enemies quickly when they least expect your escape Helpful Tip : Sometimes, jumping off of high places can cost you at least ten health. Try rolling off of those places and you will land safely at ease! Helpful Tip 2 : If there is something like --__-- in the ground try rolling over the low point. You will fly from the side you are rolling from to the other. !BE AWARE! : There are a couple of fast lightsaber moves that can seriously damage you when you are rolling. -- Saber Throw How To Use : Press and hold your saber throw button What It Does : Level --- 1) The saber throws but doesnt go too far. 2) Saber turns faster and goes a bit farther. 3) Saber turns much faster and can home in on opponents ;) Helpful Tip : If your opponent is high up, maybe above a place that your jump cant reach, but theirs can, throw your lightsaber to attack them!! !BE AWARE! : PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEEEAAAASSSEEE dont get your lightsaber knocked clear off of course onto the ground when it is in the air! If this happens, press the attack button to use to force and make it return. You are super vulnerable without your saber and while it is coming to you it can again be knocked off of course! If that happens.. you can say your prayers. -- Jump How To Use : Tap your jump button quickly to do a nonforce jump. Hold your jump button to do a force jump. What It Does : Sends you flying in the air. As your jump level increases, the height it can go increases. SOME ACROBATIC TECHNIQUES REQUIRE A CERTAIN LEVEL OF FORCE JUMP!!!!! Helpful Tip : Use a force jump to get you to high places. Helpful Tip 2 : In a duel or anywhere, be sure you flip a lot to make you look cool and get you a good speed worked up. !BE AWARE! : When dueling, I advise you not to jump right into your enemies and attack. This can be easily countered and you can die this way! ---------------------------------------------------------::: -^--- A Little More Advanced Stuff ---^- Now that I have gone over the basics, lets go a bit deeper! In this section we will learn a couple of things that arent too difficult to do, but arent what I would call BASIC, lol. These moves require more than one button to do. -- Back Flip How To Use : Back + Jump What It Does : Read the name Helpful Tip : If you really want to be cool with a lightsaber, learn how to backflip well and effectively! -- Side Flip How To Use : Strafe + Jump What It Does : Read the name Helpful Tip : You shouldnt use side flips as much as you dont back flips. Try not to use these too much because a lot of times they get you into trouble. I know from experience =) -- Wall Side Flip How To Use : Strafe on Wall + Jump What It Does : Makes you strafe jump off of a wall Helpful Tip : Dont use this much either. Only when you are seriously cornered and need to get out of a space use this. That is only my suggestion, you might be able to make a strategy or something out of this. -- Wall Run How To Use : Strafe on Wall + Forward on Wall + Jump What It Does : Runs you through the wall Helpful Tip : Use this when you are in crammed up hallways and things. It makes you go unbelievably much faster. ---------------------------------------------------------::: -^--- Difficult Stuff ---^- In this section, you will learn some hard stuff. Most of this stuff is hard for me to even do! -- Attack Flip How To Use : Attack With Saber in Yellow Stance + Jump-x2 What It Does : Sends you flying in the air and sends you back onto the ground doing a pretty strong attack. Helpful Tip : Only use this if your a real ametuer.. !BE AWARE! : Whenever you land, you are meant to land hard. It takes about 3 seconds to get up. For that three seconds, you are completely vulnerable. Rumor : You can avoid this landing if you make the flip a successful attack and take down a lot of health. ** CONFIRMED ** - The rumor is true. -- Wall Flip How To Use : Forward to Wall + Jump-x2 What It Does : A straight wall flip! Helpful Tip : Never use this. -- Flying Jump How To Use : Forward + Jump-x2 + Let go of Forward What It Does : Makes you jump straight Helpful Tip : Use this rarely since most of the time it is never really needed. NEVER use this trying to show off. ---------------------------------------------------------::: -^--- Blue Stance Moves ---^- The blue stance is the speed stance. In this section you will learn some speed moves. -- Spin Strafe How To Use : Strafe Left or Right + Attack What It Does : A spin attack that is pretty helpful! Helpful Tip : Use this commonly if you desire speed and power! -- Roller Kill (hey its the best name for it) How To Use : Strafe Left or Right + Down + Attack What It Does : A low saber attack. This is for those people that you are fighting that roll most of the time. Helpful Tip : Use this to your advantage. Dont use it whenever someone isnt rolling or you will be in bad shape because I can garantee you will get hit! -- Jump Spiral How To Use : Jump + Forward + Attack What It Does : Your character spin attacks. Helpful Tip : Use this if you are positive that your opponent has low health. ---------------------------------------------------------::: -^--- Yellow Stance Moves ---^- Alright, here's the only move you can do with your normal, casual, yellow stance!! :) -- Backward Spin Thing How To Use : Back + Attack What It Does : Makes you spin, attacking, backwards. Helpful Tip : Dont try using this in a duel. ---------------------------------------------------------::: -^--- Red Stance Moves ---^- There arent many special things with the red stance. -- Attack How To Use : Attack :) What It Does : Sends a super slow, but deadly, slash on your opponent. Helpful Tip : Only attack with the red stance if you are sure that your opponent is not in the blue stance. ---------------------------------------------------------::: CLOSURE ::::......
