As you saw from my log, getting the first shot in doesn't mean its going to be successful. Its not like I've just learned rising phoenix...I've probably had it at 100% for 200 hours.
> Well, my point is, that you can assassinate without stalking. Thus negating any lag, and use rising phoenix in the first round of combat, like Takashimi did in the log on the other board.
> So true, assassinate is not a skill without lag, it is a skill where you choose how much lag, you want. Of course if you choose none lag, you will always fail, but that is still be useful. It allows you to use any combat related skill without a target in the first round of combat, which is otherwise impossible.
> When I played an assassin, I usually started combat with assassinate, because that is the only way you can use a lagging command in the first round of combat as an assassin, if your opponent is flying (throw and various kicks).
> Assassinate was probably intended to work like this, and I don't see any problem with that, but I don't understand why assassinate has less lag than murder, that after all is the most 'basic' way to initiate combat.
