Alright, lets explain what this FAQ is for and what your
going to learn. As the title says, you will learn Acrobatics
and Moves. What kind of acrobatics and moves do I mean
though? Acrobatics in Jedi Outcast can be most commonly
be reffered to as flips and rolls. Things that move your
body in a combonation of buttons would be reffered to as
an acrobatic skill. Moves are things like lightsaber tricks.
Special things you can do with a lightsaber for example. I
know someone has already written a FAQ on Lightsaber
Tactics, but I plan to go into explaining a little bit more.
I will also teach you a couple of nice gun tricks to do
whenever your in an all out Free For All (FFA). Thats what
we are gonna cover in this FAQ!!
Ok, lets learn the basics that you just gotta know.
Before we start, if you are a newbie please go into your
controls and change everything you want to make it as easy
as possible for you!!
-- Crouch
How To Use : Press the crouch button
What It Does : The name says it all :)
Helpful Tip : If you are trying to hide turn your saber
off and crouch beside a dark object where
you cannot be visible!
Helpful Tip 2 : In multiplayer, it is of great respect
that you bow before a lightsaber duel.
Just crouch, then look down to the ground,
then look up again.
-- Strafe
How To Use : Press your strafe left and right buttons
What It Does : Strafing is a main thing that keeps you
alive. Its a side-step. Use it often!
Helpful Tip : Strafe in lightsaber duels so you can
move your feet faster, get out of tight
places, and dont have to take two seconds
to turn around.
-- Roll
How To Use : While running forwards or backwards, crouch
What It Does : Lets you get out of tight places or
get behind your enemies quickly when
they least expect your escape
Helpful Tip : Sometimes, jumping off of high places
can cost you at least ten health.
Try rolling off of those places and you
will land safely at ease!
Helpful Tip 2 : If there is something like --__-- in the
ground try rolling over the low point.
You will fly from the side you are rolling
from to the other.
!BE AWARE! : There are a couple of fast lightsaber moves
that can seriously damage you when you are
rolling.
-- Saber Throw
How To Use : Press and hold your saber throw button
What It Does : Level ---
1) The saber throws but doesnt go too
far.
2) Saber turns faster and goes a bit
farther.
3) Saber turns much faster and can home
in on opponents ;)
Helpful Tip : If your opponent is high up, maybe above
a place that your jump cant reach, but theirs
can, throw your lightsaber to attack them!!
!BE AWARE! : PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEEEAAAASSSEEE dont get your
lightsaber knocked clear off of course onto
the ground when it is in the air! If this
happens, press the attack button to use to
force and make it return. You are super
vulnerable without your saber and while it is
coming to you it can again be knocked off of
course! If that happens.. you can say your
prayers.
-- Jump
How To Use : Tap your jump button quickly to do a nonforce
jump. Hold your jump button to do a force
jump.
What It Does : Sends you flying in the air. As your jump
level increases, the height it can go
increases. SOME ACROBATIC TECHNIQUES REQUIRE
A CERTAIN LEVEL OF FORCE JUMP!!!!!
Helpful Tip : Use a force jump to get you to high places.
Helpful Tip 2 : In a duel or anywhere, be sure you flip
a lot to make you look cool and get you
a good speed worked up.
!BE AWARE! : When dueling, I advise you not to jump right
into your enemies and attack. This can
be easily countered and you can die this way!
-^--- A Little More Advanced Stuff ---^-
Now that I have gone over the basics, lets go a bit deeper!
In this section we will learn a couple of things that arent
too difficult to do, but arent what I would call BASIC, lol.
These moves require more than one button to do.
-- Back Flip
How To Use : Back + Jump
What It Does : Read the name
Helpful Tip : If you really want to be cool with a
lightsaber, learn how to backflip well and
effectively!
-- Side Flip
How To Use : Strafe + Jump
What It Does : Read the name
Helpful Tip : You shouldnt use side flips as much as
you dont back flips. Try not to use these
too much because a lot of times they get you
into trouble. I know from experience =)
-- Wall Side Flip
How To Use : Strafe on Wall + Jump
What It Does : Makes you strafe jump off of a wall
Helpful Tip : Dont use this much either. Only when you
are seriously cornered and need to get
out of a space use this. That is only my
suggestion, you might be able to make a
strategy or something out of this.
-- Wall Run
How To Use : Strafe on Wall + Forward on Wall + Jump
What It Does : Runs you through the wall
Helpful Tip : Use this when you are in crammed up
hallways and things. It makes you go
unbelievably much faster.
-^--- Blue Stance Moves ---^-
The blue stance is the speed stance. In this section you
will learn some speed moves.
-- Spin Strafe
How To Use : Strafe Left or Right + Attack
What It Does : A spin attack that is pretty helpful!
Helpful Tip : Use this commonly if you desire speed and
power!
-- Roller Kill (hey its the best name for it)
How To Use : Strafe Left or Right + Down + Attack
What It Does : A low saber attack. This is for those
people that you are fighting that roll
most of the time.
Helpful Tip : Use this to your advantage. Dont use it
whenever someone isnt rolling or you will
be in bad shape because I can garantee you
will get hit!
-- Jump Spiral
How To Use : Jump + Forward + Attack
What It Does : Your character spin attacks.
Helpful Tip : Use this if you are positive that your
opponent has low health.
