This game was pretty fun back in the day. K-styling got old, since all it took was just a spray to beat people.

Wasn't there supposed to be a sequel about 3-4 years ago?

k-styling was never actually any good. If you double magnums and roll well you could kill kstylers no problem.

I did it all the time, I just saw kstylers as easy kills, especially in duelling. It was funny to see them get really pissed off over it too.

the sword only competitive scene was somewhat less faggy than the k style scene, the trash talk was more of a brotherly thing than a genuine "STOP DOING TIHNGS I DONT LIKE" thing and there was a pretty strong sense of community.

Lots of e style butthurt up in this bitch. It's okay. Have fun rolling around like a tumbleweed. I'll just be butterflying my way across the map.

Playing GunZ actually made me amazingly good at a few things in other games. If I'm ever playing an MMO as a ranger, I can jumpshot like a champ. I also learned that pacing is often more important than skill in battle, if you make the enemy match your pace you can take advantage of them.

>>162444291
The animations were more fluid, which acts as a guidance when you're still learning how to do basic stuff like butterfly or ss.

Oh man that was hilarious. The female sword block animation is where the term butterfly comes from, and that's it. No advantages whatsoever but people were adamant about that shit.

After every match I joined contained nothing but those fags I left forever. Was pretty fun until then.

>>162444291
People did that because the animations were different for butterflying, and whatnot, but when you got to the point where you cancelled every animation 100% of the time so your character was locke din a constant stance (especially common in monk styling and d styling) it didn't make a single bit of difference

Fuck all you sprayers doing the stupidest fuck-simple Call of Duty shit because you can't learn or move your fingers fast enough to K-style. Bunch of haters.

Using gunz in a game titled "Gunz," are you unsporting anon?

Funny thing, I actually remember this game before "K-Style" was a thing.

It was pretty cool, a lot like the Specialists, but with a bit more variety. Shame that k-styling/e-styling took over, could have actually become something great.

Can we please play one game of gunz /v/?

for old times sake. I will download if you promise to download it.

>>162443614
I'm sure this situation only happened during 1/100 encounters you had in GunZ. If you try to play that game like it was a normal TPS, you will get remorselessly dominated. If you really just run around shooting people, someone will juggle you to death with their sword without even having to use a gun.

>>162444668
I'll download it.

>>162444537
Not exactly. Butterfly was used in E-style as well, just a lot more sparingly.

>>162443364 (OP)
LOL K-Stylers are a joke. Their probably the easiest ones to kill. Just light em up with any gun done game.

>>162444721

>>162444867
I wouldn't really call it meta bullshit, because when you boil "e-style" down, it's just playing the game normally. Shooting people when it calls for it, using the melee weapon to get around faster, block shots and get in cool fights. E-Style was just "Fuck it, I'm gonna just play the game", with a label.

I've always found the /v/ hate for K-Stylers in this game to be hypocritical since it is by far the most skill-intensive and enjoyable way to play this game and the core game is fucking shit really. It's like a bizarro /v/ where people hate Quake because it requires too much skill and prefer CoD instead.

Hush, kiddo, it's just an expression, and I've been here longer than you.

every single gunz thread on /v/ is a bunch of casuals hating on K-style.

we all played this back in our late teens so here is what you did.

You got home from school/work one day, you devoted the day to learn K-style and getting it down. Then you practice it, then you learn to use it in match.

lol'ing at the idiots saying "hurr durr i shoot gunzzzz and kill all da k-styles"

no, you didn't. Any halfway decent K-styler would have dumped on you from any range at any health.

>>162445505

>stun shank

so much delicious anger. Thrown in dual uzis and shit got absolutely nuts. I forget what the most creative insult I've heard from using that was.

>>162445420
There is no quadruple butterfly, but doublefly and triplefly lets you dash around the stage at max speed while simultaneously breaking the slash animation to hit people twice or three times per jump, which is way faster than you should be able to slash.

>>162445305
But /v/ hates artificial difficulty. Limiting yourself to K-Style made you effective at fighting K-Style. Doing whatever you want made you effective at fighting everyone. Guns > K-Style, Sometimes K-Style > D-Style, etc...

Hence the love for E-Style. Do what wins.

>>162445736
>there is no pbf

Tell naravus that, and the rest of the Monk Style community (if they still exist)

>>162445505
Anyone with a decent amount of skill can easily counter stun-shanking. If you've never got facestomped while attempting to do it, then you never fought anyone with skill. It's possible to kill a dagger user without even going into their attack range.

>>162444291
It actually used to, way back and I mean years ago when this was newish, females had a smaller hitbox than males. So you legitimately wanted to play female.

E-style is objectively weaker than any other style in GunZ. You have fire faster rate and mobility with the other styles because of animation canceling. I've seen people empty two shotguns terrifyingly fast.

Swordz: the Glitch

I remember one game some guy came in, killed our entire team alone for 3 rounds, then finally chats:

>leave noobs
>2 noob

and then quit. never saw someone as good again.

>>162445656

Especially after learning about the reload cancel stuff. Shotguns turned into bullet hoses, making everything else, save for revolvers with godlike aim, into shit. I did D-Style with some of the top clans (International and NA release). Playing smart with positioning was the way to go, fighting K-Style head on was suicide since you could not spray them to death while they unloaded shotgun blasts. Daggers did have that unique attribute where you could stab through a block, thus triggering the charge attack (which had fucked up hitboxes, holy shit) and stunning themselves essentially for an easy kill.

>>162446263
Fire rate and mobility doesn't count for shit when your target can't get hit.

Because it was fun and funny as fuck when it worked

If you have to glitch the game engine out in order to compete, you know that you are playing a shitty game.

GunZ was fun for the first week, before faggot asians ruined it with their lag, and then their glitching.

It's not a 'style'. It's glitching. It could have been fixed by the devs, but I believe the 'community' outcry was so powerful that they decided to leave it in.

File: 1352875828112.png-(221 KB, 450x253, 1.png)

Room created, its in quest 1 called /v/ style.

>>162446502

Maybe you should consider the fact that k-style literally is an exploitation of engine limitations.

Your precious game was only competitive because of shoddy programming.

Stay mad.

God, any Gunz discussion on /v/ really brings out the casuals on this board.

Then again, /v/ has always been a bunch of casuals. I remember back in the days we used to discuss smash melee's tournament game (the whole dylen taga or whatever his name was).

By that logic the entire genre is shit.

>>162446691
Bullshit. K-style was developed through study like a real life martial art. And like martial arts, K-style was beautiful to watch in practice.

>>162446467
That only works on K-stylers who use their massive attack as soon as they get it. Most top-tier players would hold on to it until using it was advantageous. Occasionally i'd catch a slash with my first block in DBF which would case the 2nd slash to instantly counter with massive, which was unblockable with dagger obviously, and hard to block if you play the whole massive/block Rock-Paper-Scissors game. I always used backwards, sky massive since most sword users face the ground[/spoilers]

>>162446389
toirtise, turtle and dbf I found to be more effective than more advanced techniques like stalk, or at least I found them to be necessary in making the more advanced moves effective.

>>162446481
>when your target can't get hit
What are you talking about? K-stylers are much more difficult to hit than someone who just dashes around on the ground.

All I ever needed was a half-decent butterfly. Never really got the rest of the moves right but I could still do well enough in most matches.

Glad to know, Its just annoying to see the average /v/irgin so against being good at video games.

I always had it in my head that what seperated this place from such sites as gamefags or gaiaonline gaming or whatever was the fact that /v/irgins were willing to accept and practice games at a high level.

But sadly, I bet if we put /v/'s people vs reddit's people in various video games, the reddit people would win.

That is simply how casual this thread has made me realize /v/ has become.

Cerb was number 1 glad at one point, before dylan knockedhim down to number 2.

>>162448182

Except they were not, and they said they were not. They decided to keep it in because they found it to be an interesting development, and because the community embraced it so quickly (read: asian nerds cried very, very hard)

I was there. Don't play games.

I actually quit right after the devs announced their intent to not patch the excessive animation cancelling out of the game.

>>162445305
I didn't browse /v/ at the time, but I hated K-Style because

1) It's an exploit.
2) It's called GunZ. Make a separate game called SwordZ if you EYE YAI YAI want to be a butterfly so badly.

Quake movement is an exploit. Melee tournaments were un-winnable without exploits. Marvel vs Capcom 2 was basically exploits: the game. Hell, even the biggest competitive game of all time Brood war had exploits regularly incorportaed into play. Doesn't make the game any less good.

jesus christ those philipino faggots, I almost forgot about them now that I live on the east coast

GunZ is solely responsible for causing me to become racist against those horrid little monkeys.

I still legitimately dislike pinoys because of my experiences in that game. Those absurd little cunts, fuck.

>>162449561
I remember beating up on pinoys all the time on GunZ, they always get buttmad and call their strongest friend to come and defend them. OHHH the satisfaction of also kicking that guy's ass.

I loved the GunZ running and gunning and matrix moves game very much. I also loved the GunZ leaping and flipping and wall-climbing k-styling game very much as well.

They're two completely different beasts, the only problem is there aren't separate lobbies.

Like it or not it's a different (arguably higher) skillset. It's no different than the bunnyhopping in shooters of old.

>>162449437
>Doesn't make the game any less good.

It does when it makes it inaccessible and literally kills the game.

The difference between GunZ and Quake is that Quake was massively popular, and withstood the test of time.

Would anyone be interested in a Source port of GunZ gameplay, complete with all glitches and maps? (but no cash shop or p2p)

I thought I'd use freely distributed MMD models like pic related.

Bunnyhopping lets you fire and swing weapons many times faster than what the game engine normally allows for?

I don't remember that.

That argument's going to fuck you up in the future.

Jumping on now if anyones still in there

Oh man I loved this game, I'd always go into matches wearing only pants and gloves with 2 rocket launchers equipped. I'd K-style while primarily focusing on getting people in sword traps like the instajuggle, instafall, or circle of death while shooting rockets at wherever their current arc was taking them. Everyone hated me, I was a dick.

No, it lets you exploit to move faster than normal, and to this day, every neckbear on /v/ claims that it's so pro to be good at bunnyhopping. GunZ just had more of this style of exploit, which gives it a MUCH HIGHER skill ceiling, and you only dislike it if you weren't good enough to compete.

YES

My brother played a lot his name was Aomiu or something.

He said he got pretty far up the... whatever they use to keep score.

>>162450826
Your kill/death ratio and how many kills you had in total were weighted to rank you with everyone else who played the game.

I just logged onto my account and im level 59. I've played for so many fucking years and I've never reached 60 whereas everyone I knew had several accounts in the 80s. So many fruitless years wasted on this game.

All this arguing over which style is the best.

Did anyone just use whatever was appropriate at the time? I carried revolvers and a shotty, but I wasn't a k-styler. Against low to mid tier k-stylers, it was easy enough to just watch their arcs and snipe them at the end of it with revolvers. Shotgun hoses usually couldn't aim for shit anyway while jumping around like they're on crack. When they get close, I can still whip out the sword and block the majority of their shots. Take a few token swipes and make them back off. When they start trying to aim for the feet(if they're even good enough to try at that speed), change tactic again.

Why the shotgun?
>K-styler that can actually k-style at a speed I can't aim the revolvers well enough at
>Kick in to k-style myself
>bullet hose the shotgun at him as he glides by
>only had to aim at where I knew he'd pass through

There was a time and place for everything.

>>162443364 (OP)
>people use k-style
>i just shoot them normally till they die

why do people think it is so viable to hope around like a retard spamming block and lung?

yeah i can see how it extends your life if you really want to use melee, but even then you are not invulnerable

>T-style
>just sit there blocking all the k-style faggotry
>they close in
>wombo combo them with my longswords attack-attack-block-attack-attack-block..etc.
>get called out for being a no skill faggot

>>162451017
Did you play Quest a lot? Playing the quest maps gets you high level pretty fast. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned fighting the bosses yet. I watched a man solo Superion and Aneramon while naked with a dagger.

>>162451167
Because it was a LOT more viable and the people who say that they could beat K-stylers without using it themselves are liars.

>>162451229
>play quest thing
>doing a boss
>hacker joins your group and melts boss
>this happens a lot

It was the best

>>162451229
I quested if I had a good group of people with me, they were surprisingly fun.
I've seen so many people that were just level one who were good enough to slaughter everyone with just a dagger.

>>162451346
... but I killed lots of K-stylists just by shooting.

I used to only play attack and defense, everything else was sort of a cluster fuck.

>>162451362
Me and the people who I rolled with would drop out of the match shortly after recording the hacking, then report them via the hacker report e-mail.

>>162451450
But no good ones, because animation canceling is innately better than just shooting.

>>162451619
>not loving all the free exp and loot

ur a faget

>>162451667
How about your a faggot.

Go back to your dying game and k-style all you want. You've just been yelling and bitching at everyone all thread.

Fact is, styles killed the game.

I always found it hilarious how analy ravaged people would get if you didn't fight their k-style with k-style

shoot them with any automatic weapon, miss 1-2 bullets out of 20 "OMG SPRAYING NOOB" once they're dead

>>162451346
K-style had undeniable benefits, but anyone trying to main it had the wrong idea. There were definitely times k-style helped, but others it could be a detriment. Thing is, most people were genuinely not good at the game, and just k-styling all the time still gave them more of an edge than they would trying to play any other way.

Being an idiot that could k-style well still gave you something over all the other idiots that couldn't, and thus k-style won it's reputation. Though I guess it says -something- that you should have always learned just enough k-style for mobility purposes.

Genuinely frightening k-stylers were rare, and they weren't good because of k-style.
