Timestamps: I recommend watching the entire video so you can see and hear all of the details and explanations but here you go. I came up with 3 ways to bypass your opponent's defense. 1:17 Staggers (Difficult to accomplish on-demand) 9:18 Walk In (Simple but risky) 17:28 Jump Attacks (The most technical)
As a yoda main, I strongly recommend using his star card that increases his unblockable dash ability to 3 instead of 2! It’s, in my opinion, his strongest star card. That card enables you to basically nonstop run into your opponents, bait parry’s, stop health regen with the dash attack, hook swings, staggers, basically anything. You can get out of vader/mauls choke with his presence ability and out of kylo pull/ freezes! Hope this helps
Yeah man! I rotate between using that, 60 + extra health on presence, extra saber damage and his increased push range. They’ve all been helpful for me, I always keep the 8% damage reduction on no matter what. Good advice though, I hope more people see this comment as well 🙏🏽
Honestly yea, being able to have 3 guaranteed hits is so beneficial while mixing attacks, catching opponent off guard in defense, and a great finisher when the opponent is just one tap, and I personally don’t get bothered by the slower recharge of the ability, as worth it as getting 3 dodges with Rey
Great channel! I'm a major noob, but I'm pretty sure staggering is half based on where exactly your opponent's camera is pointed, so if their up against a wall or moving quickly they might be looking right at you instead of off to the side the way their character is facing. Result: no stagger.
Yeah it’s pretty much based on camera angle and character model position. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten myself staggered by trying to dodge through someone when they were spamming me 😪
Your voice is nostalgic and calming just saying I used to watch this Minecraft youtuber back in like 2012-13? His voice was similar to yours... Anyway as a kid it was magical you know everything is magical as a kid nostalgia is a powerful feeling
“Don’t emote on me again, I appreciate it” 🤣 In all seriousness love the videos. Like to see others thought process when dueling and you’re vids are very helpful.
I know exactly what you mean bro, I find that trying to dodge through someone or to the sides while your being attacked can make you get staggered even more. That’s why I usually try to dodge backwards 🙏🏽
Amazing duels, I have to learn that crazy jump attack, am used to staying on ground. I have been the recipient of those jump attacks and wow you can die fast.
Yeah the big thing to remember is that if someone is trying to jump attack you, you need to move don’t keep holding block all the time or your movement will get predictable
Thanks Ahsoka, I’ve heard of you before! Some of your videos have helped clear up some things for me. Do you have an email I actually have a few questions for you?
Yes thats also how they can happen! Some of the concepts in this video are outdated, but the principles are still same, if your camera is positioned in a certain way, relative to theirs then your going to end up staggering them
Nah I don’t have that yet, I was supposed to make one around that time last year, but I accidentally deleted my C drive on my computer & lost the clips
Sorry bro for some reason I didn't see this comment until now. I personally keep my soldier sens at 100 so that what I would recommend, but you should be fine if your 75 or up
Anakin & Kylo’s hook swings are nasty cuz they have that long animation you can hit em like late as shit with it like that almost like as you’re landing.. I like Vader’s the best tho. I think Anakin’s are easiest to land but Vader’s are quickest with a massive hit box.
I always wondered if there was a difference in range at which you could hit someone when your doing hook swings with different characters. It was always easier for me to hit them with Kylo for some reason, I always attributed it to his animation swing speed 🤷🏾♂️
@@Kid_Vinnie yeah I mean that’s what I attribute it too as well. But I still feel like him, Anakin, and Vader’s hit boxes are all 3 like almost bigger than anybody else’s though. I can just make theirs work every time but I have trouble making like Rey or Maul or somebody work. Yoda’s are actually fairly easy too surprisingly. People that aren’t great Yoda players look at him instead of the reticle, so it throws them off.
@@Kid_Vinnie but I’m also not nearly as consistent with them overall as you are though lol so that might be why I can’t make it work with others as well. My go-to tactic is more bait n parry, offensive parrying.
Whats up Nathan, if you want to perfect a hook swing with Kylo then I would use him as much as possible. Check out my “How to Jump Attack” video as well. I show about 3 1v1s where I specifically use Kylo and I hit a lot of hook swings with him. Practice, practice, practice 🙏🏽
Is walk-in faster than hook swing because hook swing is basically walk-in and jump. Idk if walk-in is faster because maybe the jumping animation takes more time or something... Have u ever noticed the difference?
I wouldn’t look too deep into which ones is faster! Walk-In is unpredictable, Jump Attack is more predictable, but it gives you more opportunities for getting angles if you miss
I have the “How to Jump Attack” video that breaks that down. If that still doesn’t help I might be able to hop on sometime and let you practice it on me.
I need help being aggressive and unpredictability like when is a good time to swing or not because I can never put pressure on a player who knows what they are doing plus im trying to beat my friends who are really good at the game I need to stop holding down my block an attack but when ever I do that do better players they just parry or hook swing I just don't know what to do and I can't get better know matter what im also on xbox
You may be struggling because your friends are predicting your next moves with good timing. You need to counter predict their predictions (I hope that makes sense). Watch for patterns things your friends like to do over and over again. The more you train the better you’ll get. What’s your sensitivity?
Haha I go over how to do it in my “How to Parry Video” check the comment section. To summarize though you basically spam your opponent with parries & you mix up the timing of your parries so that your always countering them
Not yet! I just know you need to aim for the side of your opponents body to increase the chances of staggering them. Sometimes you can stagger someone from hitting them from the front(when they are looking directly at you). I appreciate that bro, glad I could help 😁
@@SpookiePookie1 I always run Flesh is Weak for either game mode that’s mandatory. For HvV I’ll prob use Jedi Killer and either Sith Trained or 90% DR. For Hero Showdown I’ll use Beating Heart and 90% DR because people will parry your claw rush all the time.
@@SpookiePookie1 I’ll sometimes use Beating Heart for HvV as well just depends if I’m pub stomping or doing a competitive 4v4, along with what map, who I’m versing etc.
@@Kid_Vinnie I'm seeing in your thumbnail that block can be broken, which is what constantly happens to me, if I have just a little health they just spam saber strikes or blasters and they know they will cause damage even when holding block. That's not standard because if I try to do the same opponents don't receive not even small damage, so they just have to hold block until they recover some health. Another game breaking bug is abikities sometimes doing nothing, or some abilities dominance inconsistency, vgr. Han shoulder charge sometimes dominating Grevious claw rush, but sometimes the other way around. If it were not glitchy, everything would be documented, rather than having to rely on plahers themselves to find how the game works because DICE doesn't know at the time of release
Yeah those other bugs can be really annoying bro, it sucks that EA won’t go back and fix any of that stuff because they really left us with a broken game. Despite all of that though I still think this is one of the best Star Wars games ever lol, let’s just hope they can make an even better one in the coming years
@@Kid_Vinnie There are looooads of other glitches that still haven't been fixed. Just to name a few... -Duplication glitch -Exceeding max reinforcement/hero count -Infinite Duelist (Dooku) -Infinite Shoulder Charge (Han) -Predator Instincts cancel speed boost (Bossk)

I know what you mean bro, I’ve had quite a few people comment on my voice. Next video will be Battlefront 2 ASMR I guess 👀😂😂😂
staggers are caused by hitting someone on the outer edge of their block
Yup! A lot harder to pull off in an actually duel at least from my experience, but still a pretty interesting mechanic
“Don’t emote on me again, I appreciate it” 🤣
In all seriousness love the videos. Like to see others thought process when dueling and you’re vids are very helpful.
Yeah man I always try to bring a new perspective to this game that I think others would find valuable. Glad you enjoyed the video 🙏🏽
Damn this the R&D channel of Battlefront 2 !! Thx for sharing your findings man
I swear I get staggered randomly during duels and my character just freezes and it makes me lose a duel, it’s beyond frustrating
I know exactly what you mean bro, I find that trying to dodge through someone or to the sides while your being attacked can make you get staggered even more. That’s why I usually try to dodge backwards 🙏🏽
@@Kid_Vinnie it’s mainly me having to learn to shift my play style because this game is so buggy 😂 but yea I get what you mean
Amazing duels, I have to learn that crazy jump attack, am used to staying on ground. I have been the recipient of those jump attacks and wow you can die fast.
Yeah the big thing to remember is that if someone is trying to jump attack you, you need to move don’t keep holding block all the time or your movement will get predictable
Professor Vinnie back at it again 🥶👑
Yessir back at it again 🐐 and it’s “Professa” lol Space recommended it.
@@Kid_Vinnie you right lmao my bad Professa
Its hard to stagger people but this game is so much more that spamming so another like from me
Thank you man and your right it is. I don’t usually go for staggers myself when I’m dueling but it’s still a great trick up the sleeve! 🙏🏽
Thanks for another tip video I liked and subscribed 😁😁
Hey thanks bro, I’m grateful! 🙏🏽
@@Kid_Vinnie I'm supposed to be home learning but I can't stop watching your videos there so good
Ayo, but did my mans ever start that game share? Lmao, n'aw great video and even greater content!
Haha thank you bro 😂
Great video I had to subscribe love to see more content from you
Thanks man I appreciate that, I’m currently working on some more “How To” videos. Keep an eye out 👍🏽
Nice man, these vids are super helpful
Thank you! Glad you were able to learn from it 👍🏽
Thxs man great video can you make a vid about best heroes and villains to duel as? Curious on ur take, keep it up dude
Yes I can make a video on that! I can’t give you a time frame on when it will come out though, since a lot of people have been asking me for videos!
Amazing effort for the video bro, some very helpful tips 🐐🔥
Happy to help 🙏🏽, I’ll be exposing some more tips and tricks very soon 😈
Another fine addition to my collection.
🙏🏽💯

Hey I appreciate that Brodie, more coming soon 🤙🏽
What do you set your stick dead zone too?
Min.
Excellent video as usual
Thank you sir👍🏽, I try to give y’all something I would enjoy
11:00 Dooku just wants to snuggle close, look he even got the snuggly pajamas on for it!
😂😂
Yo thanks a lot for this video it been very useful maybe next video you should teach us how to win 2v1
I’ll look into that! 👍🏽 Right now my next video will most likely be a “How To Comb” video.
You should do a video about getting the most out of combos like choke
I gotcha, that sounds like a good idea boss! I’ll work on that and showcase combos I know for each saber character.
Brooo I always has been trying to find a way to stagger somebody for like months ur good 😟
Haha thanks bro, this video is a little outdated, but it’ll still work on the casual player base
@@Kid_Vinnie alr
Nice. What sensitivity do you prefer?
I always like 100 for soldier sensitivity and then 65-75 for zoomed sensitivity (saber heroes) 40 zoomed sensitivity (blaster heroes)
Great video, thanks
Absolutely man, it’s what I’m here for. More coming soon 🙏🏽
I always thought that staggers appeared if they were at the edge of players camera view but I could be wrong
Yes thats also how they can happen! Some of the concepts in this video are outdated, but the principles are still same, if your camera is positioned in a certain way, relative to theirs then your going to end up staggering them
Very helpful thank you
No problem, it’s what I’m here for 🙏🏽
Do you have a video up for the “Storm Pattern” yet?
Nah I don’t have that yet, I was supposed to make one around that time last year, but I accidentally deleted my C drive on my computer & lost the clips
Great video bro
Hey I appreciate that 🙏🏽
What minimum sensitivity would you recommend for this
definetly more than 50
Sorry bro for some reason I didn't see this comment until now. I personally keep my soldier sens at 100 so that what I would recommend, but you should be fine if your 75 or up

@@Kid_Vinnie haha course bro 😎
Kind of off topic but around 19:39 you dodged the unblockable third attack of Ren’s frenzy, is there a specific way to do that consistently?
Yeah bro, you have to dodge right as soon as the 2nd frenzy touches you and it’ll make you be able to dodge the 3rd one!
@@Kid_Vinnie Thank you. Looking forward to more vids 👍🏾
waiting for that storm pattern video!
Yessir! I had some complications with some saved clips, so that video got delayed! I’ll still be releasing it soon though
