You know i logged on today and noticed alot of lower level duelists trying these hook swings, I think you did a good job at informing alot of people, good job man
Thanks! That means a lot!
Those are not real low levels lol
@@trvpmusic2569 as a low level duelist, it’s true
Sometimes these toxic people think im bad dueling because all my light side heroes are below lvl 25, so they get too cocky and i always win from them
@@greenbean4948fr fr he's not lying lol
That intro was like
YES
YES
LOL LOL😂🤣👍😎
I thought you guys would like that. LOL!
@@TheGrayJedi 🤣
@@TheGrayJedi we do
I think another unspoken advantage of the jump hook swing is its immediacy. It is attacking WHILE in movement. If you press attack normally you will stand still or take a small step and swing. If you are sprinting you will lunge forward, which is the movement, than land at a spot and stand still to attack. In both of these scenarios, the moment you actually swing you are standing still. If you dash and swing, the dodge hook as you call it, the movement and swing are two separate dynamics as well. This creates a small delay in the moment you attack, at least compared to a jump hook swing. When two duelists are dancing around each other using dodges, there are moments when a jump slash can cut in for some extra damage. The best timing can make the obvious running towards you to jump routine go away.
All these years later and I swear this the worst thing that people do in the game 😂 watching Vader jump around every 2 seconds blows my mind every time
Great vid gray and nice intro this will help me a lot with my hook swing
Thanks and glad to hear it!
Nice vid! Very informative and helpful
Thanks! Glad it helped!
Thank you for this guide! It’s the best I’ve seen by far. Very detailed and well explained, I’m sure it has and will continue to help many players.
No problem man! Glad to hear it was able to help! Thank you for the kind words!
Hold up you're not Acolyte_501 or? 😂
@@ebenen36 I am
@@Acolyte_501st interesting seeing you randomly in a CZcams video haha
Yeh I needed this, thanks!🙌🏼
Wait I have a question- I’m a new sub so idk if you normally respond to questions but anyone else please feel free to help me lol🥲. You said to turn off aim assist..That’s the first I’ve heard that, when exactly should aim assist be off? For hvv and showdown or just strictly for when we’re trying to do these maneuvers? I’m not new to the game but I’m new to all these fancy moves lol.
@@Empathy808 No problem and no worries at all! Glad it was able to help and yes I would love to help you out. Yeah, I would recommend turning off aim assist when dueling when you're a saber hero. I know that helps me perform not only hook swings better, but just helps me overall in my camera movement. Although, I have heard that some people actually prefer it on, but from my experience it seems like most people including me duel better with saber heroes with aim assist turned off. (Short Answer: I would say to have aim assist off as you play as saber users in HVV & HS). Hope this clears some things up!
@@TheGrayJedi yes that cleared it up for me, thanks dude! Yeah I was mainly confused cause everyone seems to swear by having aim assist on but I’ve never watched a tutorial-like video on this type of stuff before so I was a lil confused. Thanks again👍🏼
@@Empathy808 My pleasure and glad to hear it! Also, just to make something clear. I would recommend having aim assist on when using a blaster hero or infantry.
@@TheGrayJedi dude thank you lol, Darth Shadow told me to check you out so I can learn how to duel better and I’m 1000% glad I did. Many helpful tips so far, I appreciate ya!
Nice Gray!!!
Thanks!
Thanks so much dude this helped a lot
No problem! Glad to hear it!
Nice swings in those clips
Thanks!
*Beebal is typing* ...
LOL!
So excited 😂
this is extremely helpful! thanks a bunch
My pleasure! Glad to hear it helped.
@@TheGrayJedi I have a question, when do you hold the block and attack at the same time? Do u do it all the time?
The intro looked like a training section
LOL!
Very helpful thank you
No problem! Glad to hear it helped!
I remember watching this for the first time dude and learning each type of hook this is one of the most effective tutorials I thought I’d leave a suggestion if your still making BF2 content if you might be able to make another one of these on lung hooks and animation cancels generally for the more experienced player base yk
Yeah, I still do, but I got some other tutorials in the works that I need to finish getting out first, but thanks man! I'm glad you liked the video and found it effective and appreciate the video idea!
Great content!
Thanks man!
Dude the intro is like your singing a song 🎵 amazing video your so exited that eximent makes my exited
Thanks! Glad to hear it man!
Cool!
I’m not hot better now thank you and keep up the good work
Thanks man! I will. Glad to hear it helped!
This video is very helpful!! Although I already know how to hook swing, this video is helpful to newer players or just players who want to improve.
Hey SW66 do you play on ps4?
Yep I do
Ok can I add you in their or no?
Yep you can, my gamer tag is SW66-YT
Ok I just sent you one right now my name is Jojo the baller so once you get on and you see that name that is me
This is a really well done video; sadly this is right up there with the “Finn glitch” as exploits why this game died even faster then it was.
Hook swings are very much a thing but were never an intended mechanic of the game. Nowadays the “meta” is just to choose high mobility characters, gang up & spam inputs & hookswings and clog up the input stack and just reap the hit detections.
Thanks man and I agree. I think you mainly mean the jump hook swings, but yes, I agree. That's why I don't like to use them at all and find it annoying when that's all players use sometimes.
Yes, yes, yes
Yes!!!
You can also turn and parry a jump hook swing as they try and hit you which is why I never jump hook Bc good players are too fast
Yeah, that should work all the time, but sometimes the bad hit detection can still get you even though you're facing them the entire time, which is ridiculous.
I come back to this vid now and again when I’m getting rusty. I swear I take a 2 months break from this game and forget how to play 😂
You're good man. I feel you. Once you do a couple rounds it will start coming back.
Jump attacks are things I always struggle with and therefore think they’re too risky to pull off
Then again I can’t exactly get good practice in since I go against AI when practicing and they seem to alway block your attacks even if you dodge behind them at lightning speed
So getting through that block is the trickiest part for a hook swing to me
Tho I may also be jumping to high and from to far away
I’m alright at dodge hooks tho
Ability hooks not so much
Jump attacks just come in time through practice. Just start doing nothing but jump attacks and you'll start to get the hang of it. I believe in you. I totally see what your saying about the saber uses for AI. They can be annoying sometimes when trying to practice certain maneuvers because it's not like they vary in playstyle. Good to hear that you got the doge hooks down though. As for ability hooks just takes practice as well. You can also practice on infantry if you think that may help you. Plus, I completely agree with you when jump attacks are risky, but I personally really like them when your opponent is also jumping/in the air. That way you can punish them. Good luck practicing and may the force be with you always.
@@TheGrayJedi from what I’ve seen from Reysious, jump attacks are really good In a 2v1 and considering the amount of people that tend to gang up on you in this game I wanna be able to handle 2v1s effectively most times
And from what I’ve seen pressuring a singular weaker opponent while avoiding the other one is the way to go about that
My only real problem is dealing with block spammers considering I’m a defensive player myself who relies on parrying and avoiding attacks
Tho it feels incredibly satisfying handling 2v1s by parrying a couple angry saber spammers to death and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t influenced to try it on 4 opponents in HVV
Handling higher sensitivity is also a bit of a problem but I have gotten used to playing from the low low sensitivity of 30 all the way up to 80 but I’m nervous to go all the way due to the fact that I play on ps5
I’ve been playing the game for while and I am definitely a good duelist, I rarely EVER get hit with a hook swing (literally about never). I think it’s cause I’m alwaysss dodging like a mad man and being extremely unpredictable in where I’m going to dodge (could be wrong and peeps on Xbox could just suck). I also try to be unpredictable everywhere tho, and I prioritize not getting killed over getting eliminations a lot in hvv. A lot get first place or a “good” score at the end by doing a lot of damage but the fucker still died about just as much as he killed ,the enemy team wins by eliminating you and dwindling the number of lives your team has. I swear bro, MOST games I have 15-20something elims and at most 3-4 deaths. So I did a lot for the team by not dying(losing our lives)and getting good amount of elims but somehow some shit head who died 10 fucking times got first place. Just seems a lil weird that I’m being more efficient than my entire team yet they scoring higher. Not saying I never get 1st 2nd or 3rd, I get it a good amount but it’s definitely whack sometimes that a dude who died so much (causing us to lose) got first place lol. People need to at least need to be more thinking “I shouldnt go fucking commit suicide every time I spawn and not be defensive along side with my aggression”
I totally understand what you're saying man. This game from a competitive standpoint had a lot more to go because the overall balancing is bad in almost every area including the scoreboard.
Agree
I love how he says a skilled player like me right here 16:29, and goes on to play like this as Ani 16:52
lol. Yeah, I'm not a perfect duelist and you never know another man's story. You've just showed me that you don't come to the streams to have context. Regardless though, I lost a total of 212 health and came back and won. Who cares about that though. You're right. I suck. I should've said, "A sucky player like me". ha ha smh
I find that to hit jump hook swings you have to wait until you are behind the enemy to swing at least that’s the only way it works for me
That works as well, but if you wait to late then you're giving your opponent more time to turn around to block it, but then again... hit detection broken.
When i jump I go high is there something you press too jump shorter? This may sound dumb but I'm absolutely new to sabers
It's the same button. You just have control over the jump by how long you press the jump button. For example, to do a shorter jump you just barely tap the jump button, but to do a normal jump attack at the peak height you want to hold the jump button. Hope this helps. Not a dumb question at all and welcome to saber heroes!
How do I make jump hook swings with Grievous? He’s got very specific jumps, it’s really hard to perform a decent hook swing - could you please give me any tips particularly for him?
Need to jump basicly as your passing through thwm with the good General
Of course! Grievous is one of those heroes that does the jump hook swing better at close range compared to a farther jump swing, so he's one I would get close to and then just quickly jump and turn while swinging. He's one of those that have to be fast. Here's a sucky example, but hopefully this can give you an idea. (12:55) The idea is there, it's just that the opponent I was going against knew how to counter jump hook swings. If he stayed blocking it would've connected. Remember you just want to barely tap the jump button, so that it's quick. You almost want to do something like this (1:49), but you want to be going towards them and turn 180 degrees while turning. Hope this helps.
@@TheGrayJedi thank you very much! Now I’m going to practice!) Gonna inform asa I learn it)
@@godblesskirill Sweet! You got this! I believe in you!
1:50 The grievous jump attack spam, followed by an emote, on a Lando. Come on man have some class
Not being disrespectful. That's just how I play. What can I say, I'm an emote boy. The grievous jump attack spam is an attack... so... he should've kept his distance. Has nothing to do with class. lol
@@TheGrayJedi he was clearly a noob lol it just seemed like overkill. Idk if I emote after killing its usually bc I want to piss that person off, plus lando is probably the worst character in hvv, and grevious' jump attack is broken
@@TheGreatman12 Not trying to make anyone mad. I just like to emote.
So for the different types of swings like dash swing, standing swing, hop swing, regular jump swing, etc; is there a swing that does more damage than the others? Like hypothetically if I’m using Luke and knock someone on the ground, should I be using a dash swing or jump swing to land the hit before they get up to maximize damage?
The only time that damage is a factor is where you strike them, the front or the back. You deal more damage hitting them in the back and the damage will depend on the character. You also want to try to do the fastest move/fastest animation that way you may be able to get in another hit which will deal more damage. Hope this clears your question up and helps!
@@TheGrayJedi yea man it really did. Appreciate you taking the time to comment back!
@@NWozz034 My pleasure!
Sorry I missed quite a lot of streams. There have been some changes for my passwords and I was locked out for some time. I'll try come to your next stream. See you there!
It's all good man. Glad you got back in and sweet! See you there!
I use like 45 sens because blasters
Great video I did not know about the jump right side hook, this video was useful even to a veteran like me... Are you down for a friendly 1v1??
Thanks! Glad to hear it. As for the 1v1, when I do that type of stream then we can.
@@TheGrayJedi Glad to hear, I am now looking forwards to that stream even more XD, My psn BossHTU_YT
The clip transitions were really nice
Thanks!
See, parrying is badass, but I actually despise hook swinging. Not because I can't do it. In fact, your video showed me that I can do it right (thanks for that), but it doesn't look Star Wars, and it can't really be countered. It's just a few hops and the game ends. I don't enjoy that.
I see you. I don't really like this move in particular just because it really does rely on the games bad hit detection, so the move itself is just overrated and not really that effective in my opinion. I really don't like the fact that is really exposes the bad hit detection just like tons of other bugs that work like the 4 hit frenzy, but it's a part of the game and pretty controversial. At least to me.
@@TheGrayJedi Yo thanks for the response, and I agree. I think exploiting the game can be very boring. However, in Battlefront, you have to be able to exploit back to beat said exploiting. My primary annoyances aren't even lightsaber characters, and I usually end up getting sick of Iden Verizon or Leia for their violent DPS in team modes. So I can get over it, I'm just not fond. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, though. Seems like we agree
Even if I tried for a lot of time to do hooks swing, always failing them, I won't give and I'll keep trying to do them
You got it man, you can do it! I believe in you!
@@TheGrayJedi thank you
About what level were you with your saber heroes when you really started noticing you were elite with that character?
I would say never go by the levels. They're deceiving. Go off of how you're performing, so for me I notices it when I just started to destroy basically everyone in my path. lol. You'll start to sin almost all of your matches. Hope this answers your question. I say that because there are extremely bad max level players and really good level 8 players, so it just depends.
@@TheGrayJedi huh okay thanks bro
What sensitivity number is best?
It honestly depends on the player. You want to find what works best for you. Mostly with these types of movements you want a higher sensitivity, so for like me I'm at max which is 100, but it's different for each individual player. You want to do what is comfortable/effective. What I did to work up to it was to move the sensitivity up in increments of 5 starting from the default I was at. Hope this answers your question and helps you out. So long answer short, there's really no right answer to that question, but if you can get comfortable with 100 and be effective then that can give you an edge.
Luck is when opportunity meets talent
Opportunity meets preparation.
Bf2 used to be so fun. The OGs can respect a 1v1 but ever since the game went free on ps4 it’s become so toxic
There are still some occasional diamond games in the rough, but I feel you.
You haven't seen it on xbox
That is why I think the entire system is built on bugs. Other than the lack of tutorial or any form of guidebook of this complicated system, there are a lot of bugs that preventing the system from working correctly.
For example, you can't attack or use ability on the way down in a jump, and sometimes when you try, the ability or attack will get delayed to when you have landed, sometimes not letting you change the direction, making you vulnerable and wasting stamina and an ability.
Also when you press multiple times of the attack button, the game will force you to perform at least two attack animations, which is really annoying especially against a roll spammer. There is also no indication about where and when your hit detection will land, so sometimes a hook works and sometime it doesn't for no good reason by the look on the screen. I hope there will be a proper system if this game actually have a sequel.
By the way I can't possibly play the trooper modes with 100% sensitivity. That is one of the big problems.
I feel you man.
Look at the top right corner 😭 2:44
LOL!
I didn’t know I was doing those dodging hooks lol
lol. Yeah, hooks is just a fancy name, but technically you're hooking your opponent.
@@TheGrayJedi lol I swear I can’t do the basic jump one idk why lol
@@Unknownrandomdude Just takes a bit of practice. It really relies on the bad hit detection, so it may help to go a bit past your opponent. I would just try and do nothing but that for a few matches until you get the gist of it. Hope this helps.
@@TheGrayJedi Alright

I still miss the hooks after one year of playing. I land sum of them. Any advice? My soldier sens. is at 100%.....zoom at 70
I put the tips I would tell you in the video.@@vja1970
the thing I dont understand about jumpswings is that in order to do one you have to let go of the block button and literally jump which leaves you open to get hit. whenever someone tries jump attacking me I literally just parry them to death
Yeah, exactly. That doesn't mean you don't understand them. That means you do.
The thing with jump hooks is knowing the correct time to pull one off me personally I bait the opponent I run round them to make them waist there dashes then I go for a hook if I'm using someone with nice combos I will hook saber throw choke I play aggressive but when I attack I hold the block an attack every couple seconds so I can parry if needed personally hooks can be very useful but I make use of alot of bf2 trick like holding block when I'm going for a hook because of the timing glitch if your opponent goes to hit you in the air as your trying to hook them an your holding the block if you just leave the floor an they attack you can block them in air or even parry them in air which is quite fun anyway love the vid very useful but I do have a couple tricks to combat some hook swing faults
@@MB_RandomEdits Love the comment. There are absolutely uses to it as you've stated. Hopefully my video is made clear in all those situations.
Hook swing is only just jumping behind your oponent. Hence the name. Why would dash ”hooks” be called ”hook” swings when you dont hook to snything
That's not true. Do you know what a hook means? You're hooking around you're opponent, meaning you're like curving around. The word hook has no relation to jumping.
@@TheGrayJedi i know but i was more thinking about an actual hook irl. Cant explain something just about it. Great video snyway
What do I do about agile players?
There's tons of things to do and it depends on their play style as well as their character. You're best bet is to combine the different things you learn. I personally like parries and the dash hook. That typically works on most players. Hope this helps.
@@TheGrayJedi thanks man! I’ll see you on the battlefield
@@Gigadel No problem! See you on the battlefront!
I dunno how to hook swing but I like parrying people who do. I feel like I'm slapping their butt.
lol
@@TheGrayJediSo I don't have to wait to swing until my camera is facing their back first? I can jump swing and turn as long as my camera sees their back at some point during the swing animation?
anyone who has xbox would like to practice with me

When you play a game no life but still emote 😂😂

@@TheGrayJedi do you have any tips on winging vrs pros at the game or people who really know there stuff like dodge patterns and stuff hah 🤣
@@jcarmy5808 No problem.
@@jcarmy5808 It honestly just comes down to practice because with that practice you'll learn a lot of different play styles and pick up on the best ones for how you play. I mean there's ton's I could give and that's why I'm going to continue making videos on them, but the best thing I can say for you to beat pros and get better is by practicing.

No, I don't.
@@TheGrayJedi ayo mad respect you sussy backa still responding to comments after a year. What a good man. Also so I can do this on literally normal controller. That sounds disgusting but I'll do.
@@ghosteyextxz3061 Appreciate it man. Just want to help. But yeah, it works on normal controller.
Also you will not be able to jump hook w/ aim assist on and no less than 90% sensitivity
I respectfully disagree because I've done it with both. (Aim Assist on and less than 90% sens). In fact the hooks swings that are shown in this video are done w/aim assist on just because I forget to take it off most of the time. LOL! It is much easier with a higher sensitivity, but you can pull it off with something a bit lower than 90.
where are hookpredicts?
You mean like predictions of them doing it?

Always appreciated man! Thanks!
I don't understand jump swings at all, just feels like you get punished for trying them... :/
Yep. I tried to mention pretty much the main pros and cons for using them in the video, but yeah you're right.
@@TheGrayJedi like even players who don't know what they are just start swinging as soon as you get close enough to try a jump hook. Maybe I'm using them wrong though or there's something fundamental I'm missing.
@@grotn_ I feel you. People just get a lot of sucky people that don't stop blocking and just stand still I guess. LOL! Probably not, I'm sure you're probably doing it right, it's just not that effective. 15:19
How and why is this video about hook swings 23 mins bruh
It comes down to what you want to learn and how much time you want to spend. I just wanted to cover as much as I could in the given time and be in depth and through. I put timestamps for each specific thing if you don't want to watch the whole thing. Up to you. I can't really change that length now. lol
This is just an exploit lol
I wouldn't say that. I can see that with the jump hook swings, but not normal hook swings. Even it is or not I still wanted to give my take on it, and show how to defend against them. I think I made it clear in the video that I think they're stupid and that I agree that it's an exploit since it uses the bad hit detection.
This is an exploit and dosent make you good
The jump hook swings I do agree with you and do explain that in the video.
