Why can you be air-stomped and get killed whilst in the air?

Post » Sat May 25, 2013 7:23 pm

Forgetting about the 'air'-stomp title as that just refers to stomping the ground from x height -
I am getting killed with air stomp when I am in the air... I don't jump just as the player lands i'm in the air whilst he does so... i'm no scientist, but where are the physics in that?

Unless what happened was that I was actually on the ground at the time of stomp however the time difference was too small to notice it.

Well to be fair, where are the physics in air stomp in the first place?

I suppose that Air Stomp is used to "launch" projectiles from the ground to wound enemies. Or it could be shooting nanites in all directions - so yeah, you can get killed by air stomp in-air.

That would make sense if it were lil explosive things but launching little pieces of concrete into someone??

Hmm.. no offence guys but sometimes I wonder how old you are and where your intelligence begins and ends. we are talking about the future, a post human warrior wearing an alien derived tactical suit, of which no one really knows where its abilities end. Secondly, a shock wave is omnidirectional,, so it radiates out in a dome shape, whether you are on the ground or not, it can kill you. Or doesn't anybody watch mythbusters :P

It's just a radius thing..

What drives me nuts is when you see the guy jump, you go to run/jump away and your killed somehow before he hits the ground (at least on your screen).

Airstomp creates single violent shockwave vibration that shatters your systems and pierces ear drums right into your brain, which then falls apart.
