I’ve been playing around with dibble and it seems pretty fun, but I’m having some trouble with combat. I figured out how to quickly switch in and out of sparing mode with the control key, that you can run and attack to knock things down, that the LMB attack while not running in sparing mode is slow and gets me stuck, and that you can spam the LMB attack outside of sparing mode to attack multiple times really fast. I can’t figure out what the RMB attack does in sparing mode, and what exactly am I supposed to do when I’m locked to another dibble? I assume just spam clicking isn’t the right thing to do there. Also when I spar with other dibbles, they seem to knock me over really easy while barely running. and they somehow can get behind me very fast. I can’t seem to turn that fast. I try things like moving backwards and turning at the same time but they somehow can get behind me faster. And how do I stop myself from getting flipped over? I heard you just click when getting pushed but that doesn’t seem to work for me. Do I need to have perfect timing or something? Can a better dibble player explain how to fight better? thanks!
