Moonwalking while Swordfighting [ Intelligent Discussion ]
Over the last several months, a majority of the swordfighters on ROBLOX insulting people who moonwalk in swordfighting for being noobs who can't fight. However, this is unfair. Moonwalking should be considerered a purfectly legitament move.

Around April/May, during either OBC Cast 4 or 5, Telamon described what he wanted to look like. He described how we wanted a thousand player server, set in a midieval valley, with hundreds of player running over the ridge while arrow filled the sky, just so everyone would met in the center for a battle-to-the-death with swords.

While moonwalking walking won't make thousand person servers and huge maps possible, it does make swordfighting more realistic. In real life, when you watch people swordfight you see one agressor and one non agressor; the agressor chargers at the non agressor and the non agressor backs up to avoid the agressor and try and hit him when he's open. It looks like a dance.

On ROBLOX, without moonwalking, swordfighting is just two people ranomly slashing, spinning and charging at eachother, and 90% of the time the match end in tie, lag, or one person winning with less than 10 health. More random chaos than a dance.

With moonwalking, swordfighting on ROBLOX looks more like the namesake in real life. While most of you are thinking "No; it looks like a coward retreating while another person charge him" that's only because you hardly see two people, who mastered moonwalking, fighting. But if you ever do see two of the formentioned people fight, you see one falling back and the other one backing up, waiting for a chance to strike. Then you see their roles reverse, and if they're good, it looks like a fine dance, with neither participent loosing health until one makes a final charge.

Now the question becomes why do people not like moonwalking? Why do they insult others who moonwalk?

That is probably due to the fact they hate to be beaten; they feel that they are the masters and all other must sumbit to them. They feel it easier to slader those who moonwalk to discourage others from doing it rather than to put a slight effort into learning how to do it themselves, like all masters of a great fighting art do when they encounter a foe of a greater technique.

Summary:

Moonwalking isn't noobish, rather it is just a new fighting style that should be accepted like all others. Just because a few established fighters dislike it and others who share their belief with only the intention of looking cool infront of said fighters and others who want to be cool. Whether or not the admins ever intended moonwalking to exist, it does exist. And if it was an accident, it might have accidently helped to further what Telamon wanted his vision of fighting on ROBLOX to be.
thx

Suggestion?

If its about users to not complain when others moonwalk, then it will be decided among
the community.

"Moonwalking while Swordfighting [ Intelligent Discussion ]

Moonwalking is a dance move. You can't call a person a noob for dancing.

"However, this is unfair. Moonwalking should be considerered a purfectly legitament move."

Who ever said it wasn't? The noobs who can't get KOs?

"Around April/May, during either OBC Cast 4 or 5, Telamon described what he wanted to look like. He described how we wanted a thousand player server, set in a midieval valley, with hundreds of player running over the ridge while arrow filled the sky, just so everyone would met in the center for a battle-to-the-death with swords."

We wanted that?

"While moonwalking walking won't make thousand person servers and huge maps possible, it does make swordfighting more realistic."

No one moonwalk sword fights in reality. Wake up!

"In real life, when you watch people swordfight you see one agressor and one non agressor; the agressor chargers at the non agressor and the non agressor backs up to avoid the agressor and try and hit him when he's open."

That's called evading, not moonwalking. Maybe you should of called this "Evading while swordfighting"?

"It looks like a dance."

You clearly haven't fought enough.

"On ROBLOX, without moonwalking, swordfighting is just two people ranomly slashing, spinning and charging at eachother,"

Not if you're a 2008 player. :P

"and 90% of the time the match end in tie, lag, or one person winning with less than 10 health. More random chaos than a dance."

And? This is ROBLOX.

"With moonwalking, swordfighting on ROBLOX looks more like the namesake in real life."

Eh, technicality.

"While most of you are thinking "No; it looks like a coward retreating while another person charge him""

It looks like he scrolled into first person, then pressed the "S".

"that's only because you hardly see two people, who mastered moonwalking, fighting."

You should see who I fight more often.

"But if you ever do see two of the formentioned people fight, you see one falling back and the other one backing up, waiting for a chance to strike. Then you see their roles reverse, and if they're good, it looks like a fine dance, with neither participent loosing health until one makes a final charge."

For the last time, it's evading, not a dance!

"Now the question becomes why do people not like moonwalking? Why do they insult others who moonwalk?"

Because they can't fight in reality.

"That is probably due to the fact they hate to be beaten; they feel that they are the masters and all other must sumbit to them."

Who have you been playing with? You should see be sword fight with my friends. Good tips, here and there, helping each other out.

"They feel it easier to slader those who moonwalk to discourage others from doing it rather than to put a slight effort into learning how to do it themselves,"

Are you speaking for the general public?

"like all masters of a great fighting art do when they encounter a foe of a greater technique."

I learned to jump over my opponent's head, then do a tornado slash. Perfect KO.

"Summary:"

The good word for TL;DR.

"Moonwalking isn't noobish, rather it is just a new fighting style that should be accepted like all others. Just because a few established fighters dislike it and others who share their belief with only the intention of looking cool infront of said fighters and others who want to be cool. Whether or not the admins ever intended moonwalking to exist, it does exist. And if it was an accident, it might have accidently helped to further what Telamon wanted his vision of fighting on ROBLOX to be.
thx"

Summary:

This is a not a suggestion, and would fare better in ROBLOX Talk. Personally, I think this is a late reply. :P

Everyone has their different ways of fighting. :3 Moonwalking or Non~Moonwalking is fine. Neither is noobish.

This is really not a suggestion and should not be on this forum...
Really I don't even understand why most people even call it moonwalking. It is just stupid to call it that.
