Get enemy Staggered....but how?

#12100000702 09/04/2005 00:43:49 Get enemy Staggered....but how?

As i am using Karate my specials depend a lot on the enemy beeing staggered. I know, the power attackes have a chance to stagger the enemey, but is seems to happen never. Do i do something wrong? Is there something i missed? What is the best Way to get the enemy staggered?
I am 21 hat the moment and some kind of frustrated that havn't been able to use Ki-Chared-Punch yet...

I dont know about karate, but im using kung-fu and i have an ability
called ''misdirect punch''. I use this all the time because it has 20%
chance of rendering my enemy dazed (which is what they have to be for
me to use my best moves). You should check to see if you wont at a
certain level get an ability that makes your opponent staggered.

If you are using moves such as Precise Blows or the awakened ability
directly under it, that is currently bugged. While those
aiblities are active, your regular attacks (speed, power, grab (blue
red green)) will not be able to inflict the status effects like Dazed,
Staggered, or Off Balance.

Turn those abilities off and you should be seeing your status effects landing again.

Unless of course I missed some patch notes where they said they fixed this... but last I saw this was still an issue.

Hmm, that explains why I can't do my machine-gun kicks. One other note regarding the precise blows and stuff like that: They lower the combat rolls in PVP. I've tested this out with Cixelsydreality and he was right.

No, it's still bugged. However, here's a neat little trick.

Detect Vulnerability is what you want loaded. Precise Blows is
absolutely useless. The only thing it offers is the neat flaming
hands animation (yeah I think it's neat. XD). So just have
Detect Vulnerability loaded and you'll be able to get them dazed,
staggered, or off-balance.

Only one problem though, if your using energised attacks and you take them off whislt your openent DOES have em loaded, you wont win as many rolls >_< (BUT, its definately worth takin sum damage for because once you land one of these state-required specials.. the fight is yours
