FFFF Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) I'll start (with a few). 1. There a number of mobs that go through the long Total Focus animation where they jump up volleyball player style and try to pound your character via an overhead, double-handed smash. I love interrupting that, putting the mob on their butts, preferably with a power that does knock back. Bonus points if the mob cons blue and the mob gets knocked far away. Worth at least a grin, but mostly a cackle. 2. Anyone remember Hellion golf? Take a power with knockback on a higher level character and punt them across Atlas Park. 3. Going parkour style across a vertically challenging zone like Steel Canyon or Skyway City. Typically this is done with super jump, and unfortunately I remember there were gaps where combat jumping couldn't reach far enough. Anyways, it's always amusing to see how far you can get without touching the lava (street level). Bonus points if you manage to bounce around the tram tracks until you slide off. 4. Burn patches / ignite on gatherings of Circle of Thorns on the rooftops of King's Row. I love watching them flee and fall off the edge of those super tall buildings.

FupDup Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) Play the final mission of Scirocco's "Hammer of the World" arc. Use KB to fling enemies off the edges into the infinite abyss for a one-shot kill. If you have a -fly effect, you can even instakill Scirocco himself by luring him over the void and then grounding him (Storm Blast's T1 attack is good for this). I also did this to Ice Mistral when she came to his aid. It doesn't give much XP to kill them this way, but the hilarity makes up for it tenfold.

One-shot an AV by flinging him off of an infinite cliff. Cackling just at the thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shenanigunner Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Someone has said that Super Jump is a mini-game in itself. I'd concur. I've spent whole, or most of, sessions practicing my parkour. Super knock-backing is fun, but my pleasure, after I reached about my 30s, was finding the largest mob in Perez and firing off either Burn or Foot Stomp. I've always called it "stomping ants." 1 UPDATED: v4.15 Technical Guide (post 27p7)... 154 pages of comprehensive and validated info on on the nuts and bolts!ALSO: GABS Bindfile · WindowScaler · Teleport Guide · and City of Zeroes all at www.Shenanigunner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My version of this with my DP/MA blaster is "Cimeroran Skeet Shooting." Head to the top of the fort, then Ki Push the guards off the edge and see if you can shoot them dead before they're out of range.

biostem Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) While playing my dark blast sentinel, I try to finish off enemies with life drain - it gives me a "your soul is mine" vibe, like Shang Tsung from the 1ts live action mortal combat movie. On my storm blast sentinel, I find it so satisfying to finish off runners with lighting strike - just something about my character doing that down-punch animation, followed by some sorry runner biting it to a lightning bolt to the butt!

Scarlet Shocker Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I don't think I've ever had a cacke while playing this game. I'm certain I would have noticed 1 There's a fine line between a numerator and a denominator but only a fraction of people understand that.

I do this with Ninja Run + Super Jump on my Ninja-themed Stalker. Instead of sailing overhead in full super jump, I bounce/flip across rooftops, run along high-tension power lines in Peregrine, or across the tops of fences to get from one mission to the next. 11 hours ago, twozerofoxtrot said: Mighty Radial Judgement on weaker mobs.

StrikerFox Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I remember back during live, an SG teammate used to Power Thrust enemies off rooftops, quickly TP Foe them back to his feet, and proceed PT them off again. It was hilarious and I had to recreate it on Beta! Range Boost and other bonuses to increase range are a must. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how difficult it would be to get the timing down so 1 person could knock the enemy back, then another TP them right back into place midair, then repeat the process...

Col. Kernel Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I love to put a Lightning Storm over my head and fight under it. The mobs come running up and get blasted away again. This makes me smile every time. The other cool stormy trick I love to do is when Direct Strike is in Quick Form jump up in the air and click Direct Strike. I hold on to that lightning bolt all the way back to the ground. Reminds me of the the Storm from Big Trouble in Little China who always drops in riding the lightning down. That always brings a smile to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will never compare to the glory that was Power Thrust six-slotted for KB and augmented by Power Boost, back before ED when Power Boost still boosted KB... Going to AP and punting Hellions across the zone was endlessly entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BraveDecoy Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 On a similar note to all the KB shenanigans, back on live my Gravity Dom would use Wormhole to yoink the Rocketmen off of the towers in Aeon City, out over the retaining walls, and almost out of draw distance into the ocean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oubliette_Red Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Singing "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming,..." on my pandemic-causing character (that was a year old when the current pandemic started). I don't play it often because I would rather others not assume it was created to make fun of the current health crisis. Dislike certain sounds? Silence/Modify specific sounds.

Sailboat Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) Before I put kb/kd into Lightning Storm, I would cast it at the top of stairs. Mobs would run up to me, get blown down the stairs, struggle to their feet, and repeat the process. So funny! If you take Martial Arts on a medium or short character, Cobra Strike causes you to crouch and stiff arm most enemies right in the crotchal area. Of course it stuns them. The first time I discovered this I was ludicrously juvenile for an entire evening. Actually laughing so hard I had trouble seeing the screen.
