[combos] Not the snack When I talk about combos, I'm not referring to the little addictive pretzel filled snacks. No, no, no, I'm talking about using any one way to do a trick, with another! Yes you can do combinations! "How?" you ask? Well, plop a grenade on the ground and time it with a rocket jump. That's more damage (*ahem* god mode) and more height/distance. Still not convinced? Drop a grenade, switch to the plasma gun right away, and start your plasma climb a split second before the grenade explodes. STILL NOT CONVINCED??? Well, then just skip this section. Tricks are not limited to stand alone weapons. Most combos are done with a grenade because it's the only weapon you can fire and have time to switch to another weapon. Well, not the only weapon, I've used proximity mines in Team Arena in tricks (demo in the future). The proximity mines can be used two ways. Shoot it at the ground then do your trick on it... my favorite is a triple threat: drop the mine, drop a grenade a step behind it, then rocket jump on the mine + grenade.. voila! One trick, 3 different explosions! Another way, and this one is fun! Lob the mine straight up into the air, take a step forward so that it lands on YOU. You are now mined... watch the countdown and do something fun with the timing. Not really useful, but funny as hell! Back to the grenades... so grenades are used often in combos because of their delayed explosion and the fact that you can manipulate grenades to be in position when you need them to explode. Drop a grenade before a plasma climb for a boost in speed. Drop the grenade and rjump with the explosion. Lob the grenade in the air or onto a ledge then rjump or plasma climb up to the grenade as it explodes and knock you higher or to the side as a trick. Another good combo is rjump off a jump pad into a wall and plasma climb it as long as you have the momentum still while switching weapons. I've got two basic combinations demos below.
