My dream crossover that im certain would work very well but it's probably unlikely

guess she forced him to wear red
Anyone else think the deadlock cast Looks right at home in Reverse: 1999? Could make for a good potential crossover in my opinion
similar settings too, an alternate earth where magic/arcanum is real. I might see this actually happening considering valve had done many crossovers (left 4 dead, tf2, portal), but still unlikely since deadlock is still relatively new and unreleased
Deadlock characters definitely looks like they'd fit in R1999. Could make a good potential crossover in my opinion
They even got the peaceful Tibetian Monks involved out of all people. How deeper do they dig their grave?
Mind you, the monks even pleaded wtih the pirates to seek peace, and this is how they respond.
Now if there's one thing I know about Tibetian monks, is that you NEVER fuck with them
No, the Trakata lightsaber technique isn't overpowered, it's stupid.
To those who don't know: The trakata is a technique where the user turns off his lightsaber during a bind to catch the opponent off guard and land a hit.
It has a reputation for the Jedi forbidding it because it's dishonorable while the Sith thinks it's a bitchass coward move.
Now, I only have experience in hand-to-hand martial arts, but I think this technique is STUPID.
The biggest problem is that people seem to assume your opponent is targeting your lightsaber during a bind.
They’re not.
They’re targeting you.
So if you were to turn off your lightsaber during a bind, obviously THEY'D HIT YOU ANYWAYS.
TURNING OFF YOUR ONLY WEAPON OF DEFENSE AGAINST A LONG-ASS POLE THAT DISENTEGRATES ALMOST EVERYTHING IN ITS PATH IS NOT AN IDEAL MOVE.
You can argue that you can use this technique offensively, by turning it off as the opponent blocks and reigniting it past their block. But in most Star Wars films, deactivating and reactivating the lightsaber usually takes time, and that SINGLE SECOND is enough for an experienced duelist to land a counterattack immediately.
I can only see this technique working in very specific scenarios (do correct me if I'm wrong), but still, the risk outweighs the reward.
