benovide Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Am I the only one who laughs every time to watch a PVP or PVE toon get B-Slapped by a giant friggen cannon? It is the most ridiculous but funniest thing to watch, and then you go and watch the Mercenary do a full uppercut on someone with rocket punch. IDK why it just cracks me up, am I the only one?

dcaleb Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Stock strike never really impressed me, but I consider rocket punch to be the best thing ever. I sometimes make a point of whittling enemies down and then finishing them off with a rocket punch because it is just awesome to see someone get killed by a flying uppercut.

True, but to me it's just funny seeing this ridiculously huge machinegun (I use the primordial cannon, the one that looks like a gatling gun from Predator only without the giant backpack) smack some dude. It's just funny to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket punch is just ridiculous gimmicky Saturday morning cartoon nonsense to me. While the commando stock strike isn't great, the vanguard one is far superior.

I do something similar, only I jump and then hit the rocket punch. Gives me a little more height, and a window for me to yell "Shoryuken!" or "Fawcoom Paunch!"

Gyronamics Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I'm not a huge fan of the "stand aside peasant" assault cannon slap. The bounty hunter uppercut is frankly more fun. Although the vanguards ACTUAL stockstrike animation is not bad it's not nearly as flashy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont quite get Falcon Punch from the Rocket Punch animation, or Flaming Fist... but it definately looks like a Shoryuken, and Flaming Fist looks like a Shoryuken, on fire.

Altheran Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) It's always fun to squeeze one of those during a fight. The best part is that it's not that bad. If only they could do the same for Sorcerers melee moves... Now, about preference... Personally, strictly speaking about commandos and mercenaries, Stock strike wins hands down because even if the character hits the target with an impractical tool that an assault cannon is, punching with a gun in the hand is much more impractical...
