What is 8 block: 8 blocking is a technique that is used to give your opponent more knockback so you can keep hitting him by resetting your sprint timely. How 8 blocking works: 8 blocking is a way that you can reset your sprint to give your opponent more knockback.Why would you 8 block?Simple,the first hit you have on your opponent deals the most knockback so if you keep resetting your sprint and hitting them you will deal them more knockback.Also,in your screen you will be only 3 blocks away but in his it will be from 5-8 blocks.Thus,if you can use this method successfully you will get at least 3 hits combos on them if you don't lose the timing. Methods to 8 block: In all of the methods you got to time your taps.The methods are: W-tap:- You basically tap w when you hit your opponent so you reset your sprint every time you do that Most used method I guess.If you master you can improvise this to get huge combos. S-tap :-Similar to W tap you press S quickly then press again press W so you reset your sprint and continue hitting your opponent.You can also use this method in circle strafe and other methods. Blockhitting:-Blockhitting is basically you blockhit every time you hit your opponent.Mainly used in straightlining. Shifting :- Shifting is pressing shift everytime you hit your opponent so they take more kb reseting your sprint How to 8 block: Now,what you want to do is press w/s or blockhit or shift anyway you wanna reset your sprint everytime you hit your opponent.Don't expect to master it in 2 or 3 fights.It will take time to master this technique.If you master this technique you can unlock huge combos by only this method.Videos that will help you master this technique: This video has the shifting technique in it: This video has the W-tap method in it:(there are lots of w-tap and s tap videos): also check Tenebrous video too This video has the S-tap method in it: This video has the block hit method in it: I wanted to provide a vid of mine.But I'd have to edit the whole pvp clips again which takes a lot of time.Hope you guyz liked it.Ask me if you have any questions.
nice thread, also my technique is to shift /s tap it is pretty op but i can't do it when i am facing a lagger
Anyone above 300 ms ping will take delayed knockback so you have to use the s tap method since it will make you go far away from him.Hold S for a bit longer/shorter time depending on the kb

It's Friday status W tap is not good for players who get easily triggered when they mis a hit and get comboed If I were you I would stick to circle strafing
I actually hate circle strafing, the other player can get out of it easily I use just wtap and strafe a bit left and right (Like Omni-Sprint and Verzide do) and just agro pearl really quick (my hotkeying to 1 then 2 is amazing )
