If you sit on a marines head and leap down you'll still kill him in 1 leap, but i never really saw this as a problem anyway. It's impractical to do this against anything but the nubbiest of marines, a little evasive dodging makes it impossible to stick a leap to a marine for any period of time. It isnt a problem.
...Nightcrawler will be <i>very</i> unhappy to hear that news...
Nightcrawler's constant ranting over leap has turned him into something of a gimmick poster imho.

My point exactly, I'm eagerly waiting for his reply.

So does that mean Leap is no longer FPS dependent or it is? Because I know it is/was possible to get around 400dmg on a HA with leap in 1.04 with 100 fps. Has that been changed?
!!
Are you saying there is limited skimming for skulks, now?
Oh, boy, that just made my day.
<b>What is the maximum amount of damage a leap can deal in 2.0?</b>
I think the point was there is no theoretical maximum, since as long as you can maintain contact of the target without touching the ground, damage continues.
A better question would have been how fast does Leap do damage now? What frame-rate of 1.04 is it comparable to?
and how many hits can you make [in one leap]?
*is frustrated that no one answers the question <i>in completness</i> as i wish to kill a marine with leap in 2.0*
What I and others want to know is, how many touches was the leap locked at, since it is no longer FPS dependant.
Let me put it this way,
this is how it is in 1.04(making up numbers just to explain the point)
40FPS gets you, say 15 touches for each leap
100FPS will have 40 touches for a leap
so... for 2.0,
how many touches for each leap would there be?

This is incorrect. Leaping doesn't continue indefinitely as long as the skulk does not touch the ground. Try leaping ONCE straight down on a command chair. By this logic, the com-chair would die in one leap, and the amount of time it took to die would depend only on FPS in 1.04, and would always be the same in 2.0.
There is a theoretical maximum. In 1.04, at 100 FPS, the maximum was in the range of 400 damage. Leap != charge, the two work differently.
So, one more time for good measure:
<b>What is the maximum amount of damage a leap can deal in 2.0?</b>
Now, we all know that this dependency on FPS has been removed in 2.0. The question we want to know is, approximately how many touches per second does Leap do now? Is it set to the old 100 FPS number, the 72 FPS one, what? If you want to know the actual maximum leap damage, then we'll also need to know how long leap is actually capable of lasting; anyone who's tried leaping down on a building will know that there does appear to be a set time limit for it.
Speaking of which, has the ability to leap down on buildings with Ctrl been changed at all?
Given that the leap is no longer tied to FPS, and does 4 damage per "touch", how many touches are possible in one leap? Failing the answer to that question, which might be difficult to answer if you don't have the numbers, from your experience what is the average damage done to a marine with a leap?
It's not a difficult question, people.
did you read the thread at all?
No, it's not, as I said before.
The reason that we haven't said how many touches it does, is because we don't actually know off the top of our heads.
