jump attack suggestion

    my favourite thing in this game are nice swordfights
    I really like how the sword got better and doublegun got nerved
    but there is still one thing that makes swordfights not enjoyable (especially on pc):
    some pirates just jump around and spam leftclick and since they can sometimes jump through you, you can't hit or even see them
    my suggestion is a jump attack:

    • when the jump attack gets blocked, the blocker gets a little knockback just like the 3rd hit of the triple-combo
    • after the jump attack you can still move and attack but your next jump gets delayed for a little bit

    feedback and improvement suggestions would be nice
    thanks :)

    Yes, agreed. The permanent jumping in sword fights is quite strange.
    Players are able to just spam the jump button and left-click (attack).

    Fights feel really weird and whoever spams the most jumps has a huge
    advantage over any player, who is trying to just do a sword fight normally.

    • when the jump attack gets blocked, the blocker gets a little knockback just like the 3rd hit of the triple-combo

    Sounds like a nice mechanic,
    if it gets added in combination with the delay you've mentioned:

    • after the jump attack you can still move and attack but your next jump gets delayed for a little bit

    A short delay between jumps sounds reasonable :D some are really good and fast jumping around sabotaging the ship.. i guess its funny but also a little annoying to fight like this :") its weird but yeah it works its difficult to stop them..
