A guide to general sword fighting and maneuvering in ROBLOX

Now, you may be thinking, "Why a guide for Melee? It's all based on luck, right?" No No No No NO NO NO. Sword fighting is a very skilled practice, and not one for the motion-sick. When a Swordfighter is killed, no matter their skill, it's because they got the movement wrong.

Movement is very important in sword fighting. It's all based on if you can dodge sword strikes and eventually get the head. Yes, indeed, the head is your ultimate target. It's easy to hit, and its damage is second only to a direct strike to the side.

Now, we need to cover various techniques.

Stairstabbing:Named after the TF2 tactic of the same name, this usually involves jumping over your opponent and stabbing them. It works best in corridors or on staircases.

Air strafing: This trick can only be performed in first-person, although it's dumb not to swordfight in first-person. Jump in the air and go diagonally, changing direction constantly. If the enemy is using a ranged weapon, chances are he won't be able to switch to his Melee in time...

Air turning: Also only used in first-person, this is when you jump, hold the strafe key, and move your mouse in one direction. In subsequent jumps, alternate your directions. If you do it correctly, your hitboxes will spin around, confusing the enemy.
