A new discovery, everyone please read this, it is NOT trolling.

My guess is that overhead animation fucks up the body hitbox, thus making the arrows go through you.

yeah.
He isn't chambering them, but rather dodging them by bowing.

Matrix mode is a feature.

Now we need buttons that tell our avatar to "lean left", "lean right", "lean backwards", "say 'whoa'".

Can you not fraps it? Also is chambering couched lances possible because im sure ive heard the sound after seeing a lancer couch at me quite a few times.

[Lezard]

Chambering couched lances is indeed possible.

There are diff. stories on that topic....

Never managed to chamber a couched lance....
As far as i know, its the same when chambering mauls. You can do it, will get stomped anyways though.

About this overhead projectile dodge....
Thats the hitbox moving away, he?

I did it few times in Native, so I guess it's possible in cRPG aswell. About the OP, I might want to test it, if it is true, it will be funny to see few "ninja wannabe" swinging overheads during the battle to avoid arrows...

Erathsmus, the damage from bows is very randomly. Get thee away and just stand, ask an archer to shoot at you. You will see that a lot of arrows do not cause any damage.

[Leshma]

This thread is big time BS but, if you swing like a madman approaching some archer or xbow noob he'll miss in most cases, cause you'll seem too scary for him to regain his composure and actually get a good aim at you

[Murmillus_Prime]

I've got a better technique, go into thrust stance and squirm your characters head around while walking at the archer.

[Leshma]

That helps to avoid being shot in the head and works similar like mad swinging (like a russian). Yeah I use it sometimes, cause mad swinging doesn't work on better ranged players like Panzerstyle for example.

Now show me an anime where they DON'T cut bullets in half.

Japan = stagnant culture.

[Gisbert_of_Thuringia]

I think it's not chambering the arrow or something.

When you do an overhit your bode it leaning down to the ground and sometimes the hitbox is weird in that moment.

Either you dodged the arrow by leaning forward or it went through you due to the weird hitbox (arrows going through people happens sometimes these days)


Every crossbow guy and every archer knows (or should know) that guys using crossbows are often accidently dodging incoming arrows by reloading their crossbow, which is almost the same animation as an overhead.

miracle solved

Guess Fukushima didnt help with that.
