how to do the "slug"

slug · Post by **slug** » Sat Mar 11, 2006 4:04 am

I have developed a new technique that even noobs can use to win matches. This sometimes is also refered to "how to kill born2kill" who thinks he can beat the slug but has got bitten by it hundreds of times. All you need to do to pull off this technique is two fingers. If you are actually a slug.... your out of luck. Now the basics of this technique is to just hit the left and right keys as fast as you can. The faster you can hit the keys the more ridged your slug wall will be. Hit left first if you want to be slugging to the left and right to slug to the right. I know its a bit confusing at first but it can be pulled off. Never under estimate the slug. Everyone can be slugged by the slug! How does this work mister slug? Well by doing this no one can wall ride you. Simple right? I'm not sure i'm only a f*ck*ng slug damnit! If you see born2kill though please use this. Otherwise be nice and leave the poor "advance" people alone. There is no winning the slug. Its not nice to do. I should not be posting this top secret message. .... Born2kill must die though.

End of transmission :twisted

If I get the idea of this 8 line long message you want to say that if you can hit left and right together to create little wall spikes correct? Your creation ....

1)No noob wins a match with this
2)If born2kill is killed by that he´s probably also a noob
3)This is used for ages on different servers (works best on Sylv´s. On Tigers it´s impossible cause you get a quite a corner)
4)Do this to often and you´ll lose speed making you an easy prey
5)In my opinion noobs should drive,drive,drive to get experience and anticipation.That should be more useful than a slug

Actually, this is a good lag attack. I used to use it all the time on Swampland. Well, maybe not all the time, but I used it. I tend to do it on my server, too.

Also, after you've boxed someone in, you want to slow down so your wall doesn't recede and let them out. What do you do with no brakes?

"the slug" seems like a good name for it.

Oh well it´s a nice extra for an experienced player but not for noobs.

Reminds me of the rlbot I made a long time ago. The reasons it did pretty well were the lag and framerate problems it caused though. I and z-man were once down to 20 FPS, and it was much worse for the others.

umm
can i add a disclaimer that this doesn't work on anyone with half a brain and fast fingers?
Like vertigo said, for people learning to play, it's best to drive around and try to get people and watch people zoom around than to do this...
lag attacks mean nothing to the man with sub10 fps, btw

it's just another thing you can't see
