I just think 1 on 1 sword duels are stupid, always travel in a pack. Or you can use idle people as bait. I think i was playing with insane54 and someone else. Insane was idle (as usual) and their whole team was rushing to kill him at 1st BR on The Pit. I was sitting in shotgun looking at insane, waiting, and our other guy was sitting on the ramp from garage. Lets just say they got owned.
I don't think anyone thus far has understood the thread or explained it well. The OP is talking about those moments when you both are just mashing the 'B' button in order to melee faster. At some time or another, one person will swing faster than the other person while both use the 'B' button. This is caused by either: A. You can't time sword lunging perfectly and lose because your opponent presses his button sooner than you when you could both actually melee again. B. The person with the better connection to the host (or being the host, obviously) wins, because they will have a slightly faster response time over anyone else. I know man, it sucks, and it always happens to me.
