GameBattles Team:

I was watching some of T2's Player Commentary at [mlgpro.com] and he was commenting on how he missed a couple of clutch sword kills against Team Final Boss... He mentioned "recovering" from the missed sword lunge by pressing: YY

What exactly are the benefits from pressing YY to "recover" with sword? What exactly does it do? After doing it, he did finish off the people he tried to kill in the first place... he seemed to be able to lunge a 2nd time without swinging the sword randomly, but I don't know.

So what does YY with sword do to allow quick "recoveries?"

It probably cancels out the weapon cool down time so you do not have to wait a few seconds to lunge again. Its another bug to expliot simular to the BxR, why where they using sword in MLG? I though it was human weapon sets.

The match was in Midship and it was CTF so maybe the weapon set rules are a little different... Official MLG weapon set for team games are "No Duals" however, so that's why the sword was allowed.

I think "Human" weapon set is used only for FFA games (not sure)... I remember hearing that somewhere.

Drummer, you are correct as is Mindfreak about the cooldown business. It just cancels the rest of the animation so you you can attack faster.

Yeah it basically resets the weapon so you can skip the cooldown animation at the end of the first kill allowing you to lunge again immediately for the second kill.

In most MLG gametypes it is no-duals... in FFA it is Human, and contrary to what someone just said, Sanctuary has Default weapons.

(No sniping on Sanctuary is out dated, that was the 2006 rules.)

you can lung twice twice with less lag time between attacks.

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Its an animation glitch, meaning you can't discuss them here. Although, just saying "its an animation glitch" pretty much answers your question, so you should be good.

If you need further clarification, I suggest asking at mlgpro.com or highimpacthalo.com.
