Sniping Tactics

Wow...just like the shadow freeze, there IS such thing as a shadow snipe. You can snipe near your enemy's head and it still counts as a headshot. Good parts to snipe are the shoulders, head, and above the head ("shadow headshot"). That's probably how most noobs get lucky at sniping...

If your an imperialist expert, you can also post your stadegies here.

Yeah, I think headshots are pretty cheap, since half the time it dosen't even look like you've hit them in the actual head.
I've recently found two good places to snipe:

1.Fault Line/Subterranean(Spelling?)-
On the little ledge in the corner of the main area(Place where the magmaul and battlehammer is. To reach it either use the jump pad and push yourself to the right, or jump form the ledge that the jump pad takes you to.

2. Harvester-
After taking a jump pad to the second story you'll notice the two pillars. Take the other jump pad and try and move yourself to fall onto it. This may take some practice as its hard to stay on.

ps: For those who don't know (though you probably do), their is a Double damage power-up at the bottom of Fuel Stack. I only discovered it a month ago!

This is a simple term called lag.

I was testing this in DS Download Play. Even if a target is still (no lag at all), I can still get a headshot, even thought it was in mid-air, or on the shoulder. So doing a headshot in lag is another thing....

It's lag if 3 players or more.

It was a 1 on 1 battle

....its always possible that it is not a lag, but a glitch firelink.

It's a glitch, just to help out long range sniping. Since the targets are generally small, I believe Nintendo noobed out and put that glitch in on purpose. Trust me, I've been using Trace since the game hit stores.

...so has firelink. You should give him your FC and battle. I wanna see how long you'll last.

I don't use Trace that much anymore

Yeah, both me and koolstr would just watch you both fight once our lives were wasted. It would be cool if you could be just a spectator in the game.

I like the automatic scoping, but I wish you could do it manually.

Do you mean with buttons?Just press the R button or the L

No, he means super-zooming up close. And if oyu don't use trace so much anymore, who do you use?

He uses Spire. Man, ever since I became a 4-star, he's after me in every game =(. I either get shadow freezed or shadow burned to death all the time by firelink. At least I did better than that 3 - star that gave up in half of the game...

That is true.He doesn't give up,and I do use Spire and Noxus more;the Legend of Fire and Ice!

That's good firelink. What's shadow burn? II think I heard it before somewhere......

I've been playing heaps of bot games recently and I've noticed a gltich. Sometimes if I come in close contact with a Noxus in biped I hear the sound of the Vhoscythe hitting, and I've taken the damage too! This sometimes happens when I use him too.
Has this ever happened to any of you's?

p.s: If not, I called dibs on it's name, I'll call it a Shadow scythe.

No, not me.

I've heard of it before.

It's called:

Noise Glitches

Yeahy, but i got damaged too, as if it were a alt-form hit.
