I don't think learning to climb things then jumping on people really equates to a good Hunter player or even Infected player.

The best Infected players work together, which admittedly is something that comes from playing with the same people often. I didn't see any evidence of him coordinating attacks with the other Hunter that was prancing around.

A Hunter that never misses is a good hunter to me.

 

[TrikSter_666]

hmm well i didn't really base his skill on teamwork, i meant his skill using the hunter is the best ive seen. but now that i think about it, that skill wouldn't mean much if he didn't coordinate well with his team lol.

Good hunter = Identifies key oppurtunities and then uses them

He pretty good, but with hunter a lot of it is down to luck. Launching yourself in the right direction and steer yourself a bit in mid-air can be pretty tough, but I bet he misses a lot of jumps too, often people can just move before you land on them, happens to me a lot. He just doesn't show that in his videos

 

[Pesmerga]

Hmm, I dunno. This guy is getting 25-30 hitpoints a pounce. That in of itself makes him pretty valuable for an Infected team.

I do agree with you there, but at the same time doing very high jumps with the hunter and landing on survivors increases the pounce damage up to 30 or so, if the hunter is on fire too it's 45 I believe. The standard pounce from across a room is 5 perhaps? So he is doing a good amount of damage.

The flipside is, sometimes it's timing. Waiting for 2 people to be caught alone, and a smoker & hunter linking up.

Lucker.
He was just randomly jumping and happened to be filming.

lol......bs anyone?

I've just done some exact research into the pouncing. A normal pounce across a room does 5/7/10 damage depending on the distance. If you jump from a great height, the maximum damage you can do is 25, but this can vary from 20 up to 25. If you are on fire, it adds +10 to all your attacks, so the maximum pounce damage possible is 35.

Add to the L4D wiki plz. I can't wait until it's the same quality as the TF2 wiki.

 

[TrikSter_666]

I only wish that i could play that well. xP
Only just found out that you could wall jump with the hunter from watching his clips lol.

Actually, pounce damage only goes up to 25. Being on fire does not add any damage to your attacks other than when you are tearing them after a pounce. Basically what happens is that the fire dmg you would normally take form being on fire gets transfered to whoever you pounce while you claw them, effectively doubling your damage while you are on top of them.

But here is basically the deal, pounce damage has ah ard cap at 25 no matter how hig you go after that. Your pounce damage depends on two things, your initial distance between you and the target before the pounce, and the velocity at the end of the pounce. Jumping high into the air and then landing on someone next to you does no more damage than pouncing them directly. Jumping at someone at your maximum distance and also arcing your jump slightly so that it follows an optimal projectile trajectory will yield your max pounce damage at that distance.

From testing the angle is around 60is degrees.

I did a lot of testing on this :-P

On topic though:

Anyone who makes a video can look skillful, because they can just edit out all the other parts in which they sucked. Nothing special to this guy. The thing about it is that you see these kinds of dudes all over the servers now. They'll waste their time trying to climb to really high places for half the map, and miss their pounces most of the time. So then the survivors basically have a free run through the entire map because they wasted all their time trying to look cool by landing a high dmg pounce.

 

[the cow says moo]

I didn't know higher jumps yields higher damage. I must try it!

Edit: quick question, in the third video, it shows him push his back to a wall and continuosly jump to the top of the building. After seeing this, I tried it myself but it didn't work. Anyone know how he did it?

Oops, I accidently pressed the quote button. I'll fix it later when I'm on my computer.
