How would you throw a staff?

*Whirl.* And how would you hit anything? There would be no practical use.

I have to agree with Evil Penguin, unless it was something like a javiline then it wouldn't have much of a use.

I would have to agree. The point of having knives and swords is so you have something small which can be thrown (the knife) and something larger to have parrying battles with (the sword). The knife would be ineffective against bigger weapons, but can be thrown. A sword is larger and more powerful, but is often less fluid and manageable than a knife.

And if there is Mp in lugaru 2, and so is bullet time, you could make people within a circule of energy slow down instead of taking the JKJA approch and make it so you just speed up

it would also be cool if you could use the launch cannon while the enemy was still alive (of at least somthing like it) and the abillity to do a really, really, really, really, really cool move that would make the twister kick and larait(i wonder if turner could do that) from oni look like complete crap.

Speaking of Oni and an earlier suggestion, Lugaru 2 really needs mid-air combat. The attack button oughta do something in mid-air, especially with weapons, and flipping should count as a nice kick and added damage for Death From Aboves.

I still would love to have to suffer from realistic physics while fighting in the air. That would rule.

I think the use of real combos like the ones of Oni would destroy the games unique fighting system.
I think, reversals should be a little bit more difficult and there should be a blocking ability. And I would love, if Lugaru2 would feature more complex (and longer) swordfights.

The reversals are kind of blocking in their own right. I don't think blocking is needed if reversals are available. Reversals appeal more, anyway, and help the fight to flow more easily in my opinion.

I would also like to reiterate the point of mid-air combat. That would be a nice feature. If I have already posted that somewhere, my apologies.

I cant belive this is still this high in the forums

and also, they should add the abllity to bite (isnt that what bunnies really do?)

There is blocking, but it is automatic.

Like Oni ( I am a great fan of Oni ) ?
Well, this is perfect, exactly what I had in mind.

.

But sometimes, especially when you fight four rabbits or more, a reversal consumes to much time. Or even worse, I want to escape with a roll but Turner reverses a attack instead and another rabbit knocks my down.

After looking at the concept drawing, I got an idea. Using the sword sheath as a weapon. Give Turner the ability to block or stun his enemies with it. If you wanted to make it even more interesting. Make the type of sheath of a sword random. For example, some swords would have wood sheaths, making them kinda crappy to use for blocking, but still able to stun with them, while others, have metal sheaths. Heavier, so Turner swings it slower, but you can block and parry with it...Or even mix it in with hit combos...hehehehe...

bareley any weapons are made of metal sheaths. this is based on my idea in "turner concept art", but i realized that they would break far too easily. besides, most sheaths are made of hardened leather,, and are useless. the other really used sheath material is laquer, which i suppose could be used as a weapon.....
