Every single pummel I have is unboosted.
I play GGL. (Grifball)
I hit inheritor 14/1/12. 16 months after release. I have a life fellas.
Every single killionaire I have is unboosted. 22 from grifball, 4 from LD.
WARNING: Don't flame this thread with LolGrifball. I know nobody likes Grifball here bar playing with 4 guests and 3 others. That's why I made this thread, I want to know why people here don't like Grifball.
My figures of why people don't like Grifball, and how to fix them, as well as some need-to-know tips:
- Host
Big reasons go first. The first you thing you can do to fix this is turn your preferences to good connection so you get well...good connection to the host.
- This the actually really interesting bit of Grifball. When your host, you get barely any range with the Hammer. But if you have a good connection to the host, your Hammers will stretch just that bit more.
- Hammer range. Go into a custom with a friend that is happy to help, and measure the hammer range. That way, when your doing the real deal, you can time it a lot better.
- Basic Tips
- Grifball, in weapon terms, is as simple as rock-paper-scissors. Hammer beats Sword, Sword beats Bomb, Bomb beats Hammer, and so on.
- If you have Bomb, the best way to kill somebody is to jump up right in front of them, look down and physically stomp them. Rinse and repeat.
- If you have the Bomb carrier charging you, immediately swap to the Sword, walk backwards, and psyche out the bomb carrier by jumping bakcwrads, then swording him.
- Advanced Tips
- Launching. Launching is when you use the shockwave of the Hammer to throw you teammate flying into the goal. As soon as he passes you, Hammer him.
- Barrel Rolling. This is only possible in Grifball Dash, but god I'd love to see it in anything else. Barrel Rolling is a Dash-exclusive trick that you evade with the bomb. But since you can't physically evade with the bomb, you have to do some improvising. You have to drop the bomb, and when it says 'Press X/B to grab Bomb' you grab it while evading. it's basically a 'double evade to win' button.
- Flowering. This is the hard one. Flowering is like Barrel Rolling, only your Hammer jumping instead of evading. You want to grab the bomb as soon as you vibration in your controller starts. It makes you a very easy target, but it looks cool.
- Wallhopping. In the back of each side of a Grifball court is a little slope you have just enough room to walk on for a short time. If you jump onto your enemy sides hop, you can jump again as soon as jumped onto the wallhop, you have clear shot for the score.
Hope this helps fellas, I will edit anything you think I missed.
-Billy.
