Couldn't finish #14 with medium (did everything else). So what do I do? I try insane :D

Anyway, first wolf kills me. How the hell should I kill it? It runs on all fours, so I can flip over it to leg cannon so easily, I definitely can't hit it with a knife, and going to face to face with it is pure suicide (for me).

Also, the holding forward while jumping thing, I think I do it automatically... Instinctly, should I say. Doesn't help me tho :(

Oh, and I accidentally spinecrushed someone in Raider Sentries! Tried it with the lone bunny (campaign mission 3 or something). Death from above :(

Ps. In the mission where you kill all the raiders in their camp, and the boss comes, I think there's one naked bunny there... What the hell was Turner doing!?!?


Edit: I managed to leg cannon the wolf 3 times, no problems there. I just have to jump earlier. Anyway, what the hell do I do when the wolf stops responding to flips? He just tries to slash me when I flip over him.

Edit II: I have managed to spinecrush multiple rabbits on purpose in challenge 7 on easy :D Don't think I can pull it on anyone else than stationary rabbits, but it's something ;) Oh, and sometimes the main character just punches the opponents, maybe I'm too far away? Or too close?

Well, on a one on one battle with a wolf, you should be able to take him down pretty easily, it just takes some time (beating up time, not practice time). The main thing about wolves, is that they don't think before they attack, bunnies are harder because they'll sidestep around you before attacking, it's too hard to predict. So for a wolf, you just have to run back a bit and when he comes at you, wait half a second and then hit shift and than quickly click so there is a break for both reversing and legsweeping. You'll either duck his punch and take him out with a leg sweep, or you'll reverse his sweep. Once he's down it becomes repetative, hold down click so when he gets up, you punch him down again (followed by a kick if you hold it down).

And remember the AI is simple enough to learn from you're moves. Leg cannon people only when neccesary, facing two or more wolves/bunnies is a good time to jump flip and leg-cannon, they'll hit each other. If you keep leg cannoning, it will be impossible to do it later because they'll be ready for it, switch over to brawling when that happens, knife throwing is a good way to mix things up in a battle (even if you miss alot).

I'm still not great at spine-crushing, it happens randomly like in your case, knife slitting is alot easier though.
And I have no idea why that bunny gots no clothes on, maybe Turner is going to pawn it off or something.

I just spent 30 minutes trying to learn how to jump and spinecrush wolves. I succesfulyl did this 3 times. The final time I messed up, did a flip and landed behind him and spinecrushed. This verifies that it is possible to spinecrush after you have already alerted the foe to your presence.

If you want to train spinecrushes, try challenge 7 on easy. Even I can make multiple spinecrushes in a row (well, 2 anyway ;) ). For some reason the bunnies sometimes notice me when I'm flying in the air. Weird, since they're not looking at me, and I don't think bunnies falling from air make a lot noise (hitting the ground is a different thing).

I was trying to practice on wolves, bunnies are way easy (no need to jump into it either) Challenge 13 was going down for about 2 hours of trying to spinecrush. The time i fianlly beat it I was flawless too. I spinecrushed the first wolf, legcannon/nice aimed the two rabbits, throwing knife/pullout killed the staved bunny, killed both wolves by doing a leg swipe/beat the shit out of them with a staff. I was in disbelief when I finished it realizing I hadn't been hurt once.

Yay, managed to do challenge 7 with all spinecrushes! Now I need to train it on moving rabbits, and then on wolves. But I strongly recommend challenge 7 if someone wants to learn to spinecrush.
