Work on torso twist in-game during a brawl.

I did this in a locust. Didn't work.




This is probably advice I should take since I am learning centurions right now.

Brawling in a Locust? You brave foolish man, you.

Isn't that how they work?

In all seriousness though torso twisting has saved my butt several times. Even in locusts

True dat - been running a STD 180 on my 1E (partially because with 6SL there was more tonnage than space left - and I did not have a 185 or 190 std) and have survived a surprising amount of abuse in it (both physical and verbal )

I may just have to try this.

Locust-Brawling? Is that like ChessBoxing?

Probably use a bigger engine though.

Max armor on everything but the head and you can fit a STD190.

Torso twisting in combat as seen from both internal and external views (near the end). Also how to counter it.


(I'm more of a jump and turn person, but the other Summoner demonstrates it near the end as does the Timber Wolf on more than one occasion).

To note: Under normal circumstances even two Summoners don't stand much of a chance against a Timber Wolf in Mechwarrior, especially when all mechs are stock. (In BT it's about 60/40 in their favor; in MWO it's about 20/80 in favor of a TW in a straight fight. The lack of huds severely hindered the TBR here.)

Had I twisted more, I likely could have survived this fight. My my tanky DPS builds have spoiled me rotten.

Honestly, i have actually though about getting in to Chessboxing. I have sufficient boxing, its the Chess that would get me.

I can't do either but I would definitely stand a better chance at chess I have an uncle that is a chess instructor and my cousins are really good chess players but it never rubbed off on me

Oh wait staring at the enemy while he fires his weapons then turning away and then looking back at him for the next salvo is not proper torso twisting? No wonder I am doing so badly in this centurion. (True story don't laugh)
