Attacks:
Sword Swipe
Range: 1.5 blocks
basic attack
Crouch Swipe
Range: 1.25 blocks
Has less range, and waaaay less practical use. Only a couple situations I can think of to use this.
Up Swing
Range: .75 blocks forward, 1 block up?
Swing your sword like a golf club. A little bit more utility, but it's generally not a good idea to be directly underneath a flying monster, so only use this as a kill move. Has also one other critical use, but that is far into the game.
Try this one the little Waddling Heads ;)
Charge Slash
Range: 2 blocks... to start
Damage: somewhere between 2 and 2.5
Had raocow gone into the Extra menu and read the intructions, he would have known to hold the attack button, and release when he glows red. This is how you want to deal with most enemies. That green Zombie would have gone down in 3 Charge Slashes, as opposed to the 7 normal slices.
Behaves the same in midair, but you pause in midair while you do so.
Air Swipe
Range: 1.25 blocks
Curious this has the same range as the useless crouch slice, but it shouldn't matter much, since you can move while attacking in the air, even backwards!
Overhead slash
Range: 1 block up
Better than the ground variant. The range seems to extend a little further than the animation, since I have been able to attack Waddling Heads through 1 block ceilings
Down stab
Range: half block down
THIS IS NOT ZELDA 2! You will not pogo off your enemies. Instead you will both be damaged. Only try this on the Waddling Heads, and only with good timing.
Next time... enemies seen and moves
Yeah, raocow, head into the Extra menu and look up the instructions. It's better to get some good tips there, rather than wait for me to reveal them in this topic.
