If you're crouching, yes, they tend to do that move. But why the hell would you be crouching in front of them? Then you're just ASKING to get kicked in the face for a one-hit kill.Usagi wrote:I disagree; if you're crouching in front of them, they'll kick first and ask questions later.
First, I've never managed to reverse the punch. It's duckable/blockable, as you said, but not reversable, so far as I know. Second, the wolf leg sweep is just as easily reversable as the rabbit version. Also, it's best to dodge that punch by ducking because you can then follow up with a sweep kick before they've even recovered from their attack...which you then follow up with a crouch-attack if you've got a weapon (SLAIN!), or a simple standing punt kick if you don't, and when they get up, you leg-cannon the hell outta 'em.Usagi, in reference to the wolf's standard punch, wrote:Again, I disagree: I've managed to reverse all wolf attacks except the front kick, and the rapid leg sweep...[The punch is] also [, in addition to being duckable,] blockable, which is more effective, because you can follow up with counter punches and kicks.
If you get killed, even by wolves, in a one-on-one fight, maybe you should try the tactics I suggested and then see if you still do. If they don't work for you, tell me what went wrong so I can try to revise the suggestions, but this should be effective for people who have trouble against wolves. (Assuming you can't one-hit stealth-kill 'em, which is always preferable.)Usagi wrote:I always feel confident fighting wolves, until they kill me.
Me, I tend to use corpses and walls to kill wolves. It just makes things a lot easier. But if you're forced to fight a wolf in the open, it really shouldn't be a challenge if you do this. Two at once, even, shouldn't be too bad. Three at once is where things start to get hairy, though.
