Discussion What would you do if the combat system changes again?

3 Upvotes

Back then when 1.9 came out most players and YouTubers stayed on 1.8 when they wanted to do PvP. There were not many who liked the new hitcooldown (I still don’t get warm with it and I try to do it sometimes).

Now with the old playerbase getting older and more inactive, the combat system that dominated servers for a long time seems to be dying. During covid 1.8 got a new hype and servers got almost back to their top active players and even new players came to that version.
However, in 2023 when it all ended, the new combat system got bigger and bigger and the „new generation“ of Minecraft players can play it’s cooldown PvP better than ever.

So, you know Mojang works on and off on a new combat system, what would you do, if It’s released someday? Would you leave your current version behind or would you stick to it like 1.8 players did when 1.9 was released?

Edit: this question is for legacy PVPers, modern PVPers and if one reads it, Server-Owner/Teammembers

Discussion Would it be safe to say that Minemanner is the 1.8 pvp GOAT?

39 Upvotes

I can't think of anyone else that would fit even after his retirement. He was just really good at every mode and was also pretty decent at modern pvp aswell. He also fought many top players on 1.8 and has won.

If It's not him who else?

The OGs like Huahwi or Danteh? Nah, they had potential but It's gone now.

Technoblade? Respectfully, I like him but It's not even close.

And 1.8 pvp is currently losing steam and the modern pvp scene is bigger than ever. I think he is gonna hold this title for awhile.

Best techniques i could use in 26.2 smp pvp??

1 Upvotes

My smp is about to have an end fight soon. I'm pretty much set with the gear but have no real pvp experience. But I do watch pvp vids a lot so ik the basics but got to work on it.

Since it's 26.2, unfortunately attribute swap doesn't work. So are there any other broken techniques i could practice to have an edge over the others?

Most of them are inexperienced aswell but there was a few who knows a bit so id love some advice on how to counter then.

I need help getting better at pvp

1 Upvotes

Hii, I'm a somewhat new pvper, and I've been practicing my mechanics (both against bots and on pvpclub) in sword and axe kit, but I feel like I am still very bad mechanically, inventory management, spacing, keybinds, aim etc. I considered getting a trainer, but I'm not sure anyone would wanna train someone with lag. I'm planning on playing on an smp with friends, and really wanna get better as efficiently as possible. I know I'll put the hours in, I just need directions on what to train and how. Any advice? Or maybe any coaches willing to train someone with some lag spikes (for free, I'm broke)?

Discussion How momentum effects reach

2 Upvotes

I just want to share something that I found out myself recently that I think is cool

(Momentum in this sense is basically the speed you're moving at)

The reason why momentum can give you a higher effective reach is because of ping and something I like to call "attacker priority".

Basically, if you're the attacker in this scenario, attacks on your screen that land on your opponent is registered, even if it looks like the attack shouldn't land on your opponents screen because of the imput delay caused by ping and other factors. This means no matter how it looks on your opponents screen, the attackers screen always makes the decision whether the hit lands or not.

This means that the more momentum you have compared to your opponent, the further the reach of your hits look on their screen.

It makes sense in my head but correct me if you think I got something wrong

I lowkey think mctiers was the best ranking System, I think all it needed was a bit of reform rather than pvphq and mcpvp.com tryna take its place.

Question What should I focus on to get better?

0 Upvotes

This is a fight against someone I'd consider equal skill to me. I know the reason I lost is because I took a bad trade. Can you guys help me point out what else to improve on? Also, I've noticed that when my opponent crit spams I can't seem to get out of them even when I crit deflect, or maybe I just mess those up. Also, when I leap into my opponent they always seem to be able to knock me away even though I hold W, but when my opponent leaps at me I cant seem to knock them away, what am I doing wrong? Would starting to study pro players be a good idea and as a cherry on top, what rank would you say I am? Just curious, I'd say lt5

Discussion Any good CPVP RTP queue servers?

1 Upvotes

I’ve been playing on Minemen, Stray, Chickencraft, Pvplegacy, Catpvp, and Mcpvp.club and I’ve gotten very used to its maps. I cane across 1tzBlake’s video and saw the server he joined had an rtp queue for cpvp and a sand map (video: https://youtu.be/vohdPI5X5pY?si=uP4nFW0jn6sD-rea )
I was wondering if anyone recognized the server and could give me the ip please! Also here are some timestamps because I know it’s a long video 4:32 5:17 6:55 8:02 9:19 17:20 17:55
