Melee Hopper: Plausible?

Since this game is full of innovation, I wanted do to something crazy... Like the title says, melee hopper...

Only problem is, isn't it hard to aim a melee attack while hopping?

And no, I'm not doing that low cost thing. Just wanna try something different on melee.

I have have two ideas now. The 1st is Squealer AM, since it's kind of auto-target. The other is Axe.

Any suggestions?


And just for precaution:

Spoiler:

It has been done by me already
but instead of hopping side to side ( you will never hit em this way)
you hop TOWARDs the enemy,heck some of em can't hit you once you take off >_> (Do it with byne for extra fun )

Sadly, No RT for Chalkie...

But doesn't it make aiming hard for you too?(The only time I tried hopping is on Single Player Mission.)

which is better for this, S, M or L size?

Yes Hopping Byne (GRRRRRRR) I find it easy to hit Hoppers but if the hopper was something BIG, BAD, BRUTISH and a BYNE then no ammount of carefull Aim will keep it from Hopping ( thundering) towards me and scaring me to pieces while doing so...

and yes squeeler arms are good stuff for hopping melee (I use it on my hopping shino before I junked it)

Hopping M-size Katana Max with a War Hammer is hilarious.

I might try that. Sounds Fun.

I was looking to try something new, so the other day I put short boost on my Domiclown.


It's pretty decent, good for nailing ARTs I think, especially with the insane range on his Clown Arm. I'm good at paying attention to most details (such as INT on common bots), so on a Destructor CN for example, I might hop to dodge the 3 Bazooka shots from his core before he has to wait, then jump forward and nail him for some good hits.

I was thinking rolling Garapon for a Domiclown Jo to get the other AM, so I could try hopping with Trump Card, but it's just a theory.

I have reset cartridges if it doesn't work out for me, but it never hurts to try some variety and innovation.

Its been done since forever...What have some of you guys really been doing since the OBT days?

Shortboost isn't just so you can avoid things, it's also another way to get over terrain that's in your way cleanly and easily without having to waste time stoping, slowing down, etc. Closing a short distance in a convenient/simple/fast way to an enemy is also what it's good for. Also starting a melee strike over someone's head is what it's good for too. Since people instinctively always boost up when they try to avoid melee so a melee from the top will more likely hit them and send them back to the ground.

There's also the fact that it's like a pseudo-stovl for LND/ARTs.

FEAR MY BYNE MUAHHEHAHERHAHHEH!

that aside, using a M sized with red squealer arms would do the trick,also a cheap(est) non RT M sized unit would be Fizalian for its tiny exterior its a frigging M sized.So you can put hammers on it and stuff

or a flying unit with a halberd/any other weapon that atks in a similar way
1.boost
2.right click
3.???
4.Profit.

You should have seen some of those boost run shadens, they were lol.

one more thing. Besides Faglanders, what bots can get shortboost and quickland by level 1?

Boost run can be gotten at level 1 for Accel Rider.
thats all i know

/offtopic
zomg you are dying!
i suspect someone is trolling us all

Is short boost speed/distance affected by either WLK or FLY? coz if not, I'm planning to make a high STR/TGH M size bot.

lol my forum hp gauge. Well that's for trolling zman7 too much xD I guess

Amanda Byne is a sissy robot that can easily be disposed of.

IF that is true then the Byne you went against is a complete retard or something.

Well ima go and try this shot boost on Byne and see how it works (never thought melee with short boost usually boost run, but ya) could be really good actually.
