a glitch for Glitch

[K1600Mike]

So this light mech makes a melee attack against my Shadow Hawk piloted by Glitch. The light mech kicks the Shadow Hawk in the shin and Glitch suffers a head injury? LOL

afaik the melee animations are sorta random and might display as a kick, but the attack itself was actually a punch (and vice versa) - also elevations *may* play a role as well.

no may, elevation does play a roll. The game does it's best to pick a melee animation based an the height difference, target location, and what parts still exist for the attacking 'mech, but sometimes you get a kick to the head when it would look comical.

BOOT TO THE HEAD! Nah, nah!

Having said that, a kung fu Kintaro would be awesome.

In fact that is a little bit frightening, but it would fight with expert timing.​

We'd need to wait for Clans before we can have 'cats fast as lightning though.

 

[Ardith]

So we need to have more expert timing, is what you're saying?

 

[RabbidHamster]

This is all a bit frightening...

The melee animation often don't make sense in relation the damage they deal. A punch to the side torso result in broken leg etc. It isn't a major thin but it would be nice if the animation would give a decent prediction of what area will take the damage.

I can safely say that I and probably most others here will watch that clip and think 'Wait, Dekker's still alive?'

but note he is the only one with an injury due to a head hit. LOL

My Dekker took more headshots than your average adult film star, yet never got killed.
