A guy was asking about the best way to kill the Cyberdemon in a thread
about UAC_DEAD. Tozz answered it but I'm going to elaborate a little for
those who don't know the lay of the land. (and no that's not Stacy Lords)
The first time I killed the Cyberdemon I did it the hard way; toe to toe,
strafing right and left, battle fest city. It literally took me four hours
straight and about 50 regenerations before I succeeded. Boy was I cool.
Sometime after this I got my keyboard control down better and learned how
to strafe (slide sidways while facing forward) and *turn* at the same
time. After a while I got fairly good at this and then one day about 3
months or so ago I decided to play Cross2.wad. (which is still a nice wad
BTW) and I got to the grand finale and who comes up out of the floor? You
guessed it Mr. Cyberkiller. Immediately I start dodgeing back and forth
and about three seconds later I'm dead. So I think for a while and then
say to myself "screw this I'm going to go in one direction only and see
what happens" I went back to my previous saved game (which only works on
HMP, you can't save Cross2 on UV) and went after him again.
So he comes up out of the floor and I start strafing to the right while
turning to the left and guess what happens? HE NEVER EVEN HITS ME!!!!!
When you use this approach you stay one step ahead of his rockets the
whole time and they never hit you. (Unless you screw up of course.) You
can see his rockets flying at you like crazy but they never find their
target. I just ran circles around him and dropped him in about 25 seconds.
I couldn't believe it. I went from 4 hours to 25 seconds in
about.....twenty five seconds! It was amazing.
That is why people use circle-strafe and it's the *only* way to take out
the Cybermurderer. Once you learn this you'll never go back to toe to toe
or reverse and dodge or any of that stuff.
This same approach can be used in UAC_DEAD and Subway and any other wad
where the big lug can be found and works especially good when he's in the
middle of the room and you have room to circle around him. He might as
well just shoot himself in the head with that multi-rocket launcher
thingamijig he uses. His moments are numbered.
Learn it and give it a try, you'll see what I mean and you'll never have
to fear Mr Cyberschmuck anymore........unless of course, you're in close
quarters......
..........then your ass is grass.............
