How to get good at javs

[MaGi kOz]

ohhh... thats a pretty long explanation, why don't you just say: "hide behind a wall until enemy shoots a bomb"?

keep em comin' tho :)

You could hide behind any wall you want. My suggestion is to either hide or place yourself in a position that enables you to immediately counter-attack.

But whatever works for you.

If you have good wb aim try being offensive, if you are good at running try to lure people into chasing you.

The very best javs tend to have really low bullet per second. Dont use bullets unless you have a good chance of hitting, otherwise its just energy wasted you could have used in another way(be it regrouping, bombing, thrusting, etc). Of course there are times when you can do the exact opposite of what I just said, like in a 2vs1 for example, to push the person you and your squadie are teaming into a certain direction..

That really isnt a stray.. There is sound reason to hit the angle like that, if the person you are trying to kill is a good flyer, they'll fly right on the edge just 1 or 2 pixels from hitting that wall, if they think you are goign to try that shot they will prolly try to bounce off wall and go backwards, if they dont think you will(think u bluffing energy) they'll probably miss the wall and do what magi pic shows.

Still sounds belim style to me, do you not use bullets to keep charge of main spots in an arena with ur team or bullets to help a teammate escape and disallowing opponents from bombing easily?

Did you stop reading mid post to ask that..?

I guess I should put "should" instead of "can".


Another thing: Turning. Ive never heard anyone talk about it before, but really, being able to turn well(not talking about just going around walls) is a very big part about being able to dodge/kill people, no matter what ship you're in.

It's most obvious when someone is chasing you, and are very close to you, its less obvious when youre farther apart(because you have more options)

Trust me. I'm not great at this game, but, I have perfect strategies. I just suck at executing them.

How to get good at javs

very carefully

[Reab]

How to play javs is so random, it totally depends on who ur enemy is. Look at Shock Therapy. He is pretty good in baseelim, but come on you ever saw him jding? Guy goes out 10-10 or 11-10 each game after 5 minutes, leaving the rest of his team alone for the other 15 mins. Just dont be shy to bomb at known names as much as you bomb other newbs, and you're good to go

thanks

i will take all your advice into consideration. and hope to sit you guys next twljjjjj lol jk

gl this season! And yah i use to better at javs when .?go javs was active haha

[paradise!]

I watched squallff8 (who was quite possibly the worst javelin in the game at the time, no offense squall) really improve to a fairly respectable jav in twjd. You just have to be open to learning new moves. You'll eventually start learning when NOT to bomb. Which is the problem i see with warbirds. You guys will mistime your bombs and fire at an obvious spot where even the mediocre javs will know to avoid.

step 1: tape down your tab, up and left arrow key in a public arena
step 2: close your monitor
step 3: leave your computer for 2 hours
step 4: ???
step 5: profit

that's it, congratulations you're good at javs

Base elim will teach you basic 1v1 and vulching skills. Also when not to bomb..

Javduel is the most effective tool in teaching teaming. (Which is how you win jd's)
And even better is to play many many jd's..


By missing a bomb 1) You leave yourself vulnerable (& get rocked)
2) You immediately attract attention from 1 or more enemies
3) You put your team at risk, b/c they might try to save you

So one of many strategies is to ONLY BOMB IF YOU'RE CONFIDENT IT WILL HIT!

Use boost bombs properly. You can boost until 1170 energy, before bombing. This will increase bomb speed, and make it hard to dodge.


These are just basics, there are hundreds of strategies.. Learn by watching other players, and develop your own moves and dekes.

Be patient and pick your shots wisely. Kills will come naturally if your team is playing properly.
