    Default S4 League

    Just got done with my first session of S4 League and wow.
    The game is a thrill to play with great fluid controls and a old school run and gun style.

    The game has some awesome skill load outs and weapons which can change game play quite a lot. I myself grabbed a Semi rifle and wings to get up high. My other two weapons were a sword a shield for when melee jump me as well as a stunning sentry type gun to watch my back. There is a sniper type gun, but I liked the assault rifle feel of the semi.

    My only real word of advice are to not download the game from the main website. The client from the main site will install 3rd party software called Pando Media Booster which is known to crash when you try to install game with it. It would be best to go to File Planet (I get most of my clients there) and use their download manager which works great.

    Anyway yeah I cant say enought about S4 League. One thing worth note is I hardly ever almost never play mmo shooters. The costumes (which have stats like +hp or +dmg) are amazing. There are some pretty fun, but small, maps with lots of hiding spots and spot to corner people in.

    By the way. I have been having some internet issues which get fixed today and download and install only took about 30-40 minutes.

    I would compare S4 more to team fortress then GunZ. I only played S4 for about 4 hours or so didnt see any hackers at all, but whos to tell it was only 4 hours. I did play GunZ about what 4-5 years ago when it was first in beta to laggy at the time. How is it now? I heard it was full of hackers as well and pretty much a pay to win, any truth to that?

    While I didn't find S4 a bore at all 4 hour of game play is hardly enought time to get over new shiney game excitement.

    Although I do remember in chat while on the main lobby screen someone yelling at another player for using a HP hack. So maybe there is some weight to your hacks statement only time will tell.

    Anyway for now S4 will be fun to boot up for time to time I really don't plan to devote a ton of time to it

    The only imbalance I found before was the use of AP a couple months ago, and now I don't see people so OP with AP gear anymore which is good (it's either that or they usually go down before they can reach me lol... railgun ftw).

    I don't see as much hackers as in other games either. There are still some hackers with infinite ammo and such, though. My hand fell off trying to play GunZ... and I manage 160apm in Starcraft >_>

    Unfortunately, if this is true (Not doubting you, just questioning), you can expect some more hackers later on.

    3 years GunZ player, still do play it; Through the years I realized, that it took 1 month to patch the hackers an 2 months for them to get back. Last hack patch, a new hack was brought out 6 hours after it; Where it was now only just patched? (Half a month or so)

    Ijji's getting sloppy, and if there's hackers that can make a hack in 6 hours now, you never know when the next bunch of hackers will appear.

    I suppose until then, play for fun, but hackers still ruin the games.

    As for S4 League, I think it was pretty superb too, it has way more variety than S4 League, but my only problem with it, is that it's much slower paced than GunZ. It's easy to hit people, and easy to be hit. (Dashing doesn't feel like dashing too lol xD It's like, running while the character is in slo-mode)

    S4 League is on my list to play, but a huge problem for me is, my location for both games makes me a 150~250 PING'er, so I have to lead, and I don't know how well S4 League handles laggers :[

    Oh. xD

    Well I find another thing good about GunZ > S4 League is that, it allows every country (Except those who have their own server), unlike S4 League. S4 apparently has everyone allowed but has a 'problematic lag' system to it. So I can't play ;_;

    I'm not playing anything right now. And I said I can't play S4 League, due to its problematic lag apparently.

    I am about to try play Fantasy Earth Zero, followed by BattleSwarm and Atlantica though :D

    It's more common than you think, female gamers. It's just been put aside as an 'myth' because of the one part where guys like to play female characters, so everyone assumes "Female = Male"

    I asked myself that question.Iv got nuthin against female players,actually i like to play with female's more than male's so dont worry.

    How are things going with Atlantica?Im testing out BOI and its OK but very lacking out of content.

    Actually, female characters in S4 has an advantage over the male characters due to the female characters having a smaller hitbox by default
    They have a bigger dodge animation hitbox than male characters, though.

    I average 40~90ms in AVA and my ping jumps from goes from 50~150ms on S4 so it shouldn't be too much of a problem... I'm in Florida if that matters as well.

    The main reason why GunZ is that much harder than S4 is because some people figured a way to glitch some of the animations to make your character become more superhuman than it already is IMO. In S4 League you can't really do that due to the SP bar and that most glitches aren't exactly too helpful for making your character fly around the map (save for the Counter-Sword guard animation glitches and the weapon switch glitch for egs). But of course, that didn't stop S4 players from abusing those glitches to make "techniques" or developing near clairvoyant abilities with the railgun

    I'll let you judge for yourself:

    Upper-tier swordplay in S4:
    YouTube - [S4] Guns vs Swords 2 --- Verdict: ps light attacks pwns too!!
    YouTube - [S4] Seaking vs Elrey_Nito
    YouTube - [S4] Slashdum Tribute
    YouTube - [S4] Seaking vs Back_Off

    Upper-tier gunplay in S4:
    "Fade-step"
    "Airhugging/Shield-canceller" (shot reset cancel)
    More airhugging
    Even more airhugging
    Railgun-shield-cancel (this one is especially OP since it's a guaranteed OHKO if you have a reaction time of <0.2sec and know how to adjust shooting angles during that time)
    Combining fade-step with shield-cancel

    Upper-tier sniperplay in S4:
    YouTube - S4 League - Combat Sniper
    YouTube - S4 League - S.N.I.P.E.R
    YouTube - S4 League - Rail'n'stuff

    Lol I've rarely encountered any hackers in S4, maybe you're just unfortunate enough to come across a few.

    Then you may be lagging. S4 league uses a P2P system to connect players and will temporarily disconnects players that have too high of a ping from other specific players

    I only ran into one hacker for my few hours of gameplay, and that was in an Chaser room.

    I still stand by that melee weapons are overpowered. Two hits to kill, your chain can do 2 hits.
    I hate how you can't stop reloading too once you've started, like trying to jump off a wall.

    The game is fun but it's not very fluent.

    You can just cancel the reload by switching weapons, or switching to a sword/handgun while running (which is what I do, since swords give +1 speed and handguns give +2)

    While the swords can technically be 2HKO, I can't say melee weapons are OP, though; a lot of the sword movements leave you animation locked, making you an easy target for a second. Most of the time, you can dodge the incoming strikes as well (or at least that's what I do), and/or survive the first hit long enough to step away and attack back.

    I just think its wide attack range and speed is over powered for its number of hits. I would say 4 hits to kill someone, without the possibility to combo them in under a second.

    I found it majorly hard to get away from any sword user, and they always managed to catch up. Even when I was using the Handgun.
    It doesn't help that dashing isn't sensitive to me; I still stand by the game isn't fluent, there's a lot of delay and cooldowns for things, which I would assume is for game balance-- But when I fire a weapon, dash to the side and want to dash away when I turn around, I should be able to do that. Not have to wait a second for it to. I found it equally hard as well when I jumped off of walls.

    I suppose this game isn't for me, and so I'll probably not touch it now that I've had a thorough play of it to make my own judgements of how I thought it was. It's a great game, but I find the Speed pace and high cooldown/delays to be very annoying. It could just be because I'm a Speed Junky and GunZ is more faster than S4 though.
    In GunZ I found I can live up to a whopping 10 minutes against a team of 3 players; While in S4 League I couldn't take on 2 without dying under 30 seconds. Everyone runs too slow, so it's easy to hit people. Even when doing Fade Steps and such.
    GunZ is faster and the battles last longer. If you could combine GunZ's speed/glitches/system with S4 League's Graphics, Skills, Weapons then it'd be a pretty sweet game *drool*

    But unfortunately to that, Speed and Endurance over ride Style and Variety to me. GunZ is mai 3PS.
