Punching, oh, punching... Random sh1t!

[Ceceli Δ]

Most of the times I could easily prevent a heavy sword attack... If only the f*cking rabbit would punch consistently. It's so random!

[Athrul]

It's not. You have to get in close for the punch. Otherwise you'll do the roundhouse kick.

[Ceceli Δ]

I get close. But the rabbit ends up knee kicking. And the big rabbits punch me in the face so hard that my habbit flies away... lol

[Ceceli Δ]

I just tested on Versus and then on Arena. You have to keep running torwards the enemy rabbit for half a second even though you're already in his face in order to punch. So unreliable... And the second punch never comes. He starts roundhouse kicking after the punch, and no, the enemy rabbit didnt step back after the punch. Both rabbits stood their ground.

The punch is so deadly when you can do it.

[Athrul]

Again, it's not unreliable, you just don't know how to trigger the correct attack. The knee is the close distance stationary attack, the punch is the close distance moving attack. You need to keep moving to punch.

The roundhouse kick is the long distance moving attack, so if you threw a kick, the enemy was pushed out of punching range by the first attack.

[Ceceli Δ]

I just described to you what happened. But anyway, can you suggest me a video of someone punching consistently? 'Cause I sure as hell can't find it. No one seams to do it consistently. Except bots.

[Athrul]

I read it and I'm telling you, you're out of range. The range for the punch is super close. Even a hit that gets blocked passively (enemy doesn't get ragdolled despite not defending) can move you too far away.

[Ceceli Δ]

Ok. So that's why I said you need to keep moving forward in the enemy's face for half a second. By that time, you already got hit.

[Athrul]

So you need to change your strategy.

[Ceceli Δ]

That's bullsh*t. Punch range is not a kiss range. But anyway, what's the right strategy? Bots do it just fine when they 'feel like it'....

Bots have different difficulties and the current in game rabbit is supposed to rely on kicks more than punches, while for the other animals I believe their attacks are placeholders

Thanks for the feedback :) This is useful.

I know this is a fairly old discussion, but have any of you figured out how to do the different types of punches?

From what I have seen, there is a jab, a power punch, and a hook. Whenever I fight I only manage to get jabs.

[Ceceli Δ]

That's all I ever got to do when punching: simple jabs. But anyway... Even thought this game had so much potential, I'm sad that I did not buy it. You know why? It's because there's no multiplayer mode and the story is too short. After a playing like 50 arcade battles, it gets old pretty fast. It's like if it was just a tech demo. I mean, congrats to the single dev. Amazing job. Too bad that was not enough to make a full game.

There's other punch attack animations, but they're not hooked up to the characters at this point. The short jab is the only one that's built into the character scripts right now.
