Sliding ^.^

[spangley_special]

baseball slides are pointless in most cases!

if running at an angle, hip slide.

if running straight - superman.

IE:

running to corner off the break = hip slide, that way when you swing your legs round your in a firing position and have no chance of popping out the wrong side of your bunker when your momentum carries you over.

running into snake = superman.

easy

not entirely true dave.

If done well a baseball style slide allows you to stay gunning the whole time, including during the slide.
Much like a hip slide you can then use your momentum to kick yourself up and back onto your feet.

This is done by jamming the heel studs of your leading foot into the ground and using your momentum, along with your (folded) trailing leg to kick you up and onto your feet.

While this does have the benefit of allowing you to continue firing for the entirety of the run and slide it does however have a much larger profile than a hipslide.
So I tend to alternate between the two appropriately based on how much paint i need to dodge

Id have to see it to beleive it

really though it seems complicated as baseball slides are hard to get back up from if you do it one foot under your arse and one foot in front , I assumed thats how baseball slides were done ( I dont watch the damn sport )

If you put you're leading foot down then your momentum jumps you up into a shooting position fairly easily

It take alot of practise, I havent got them dialled so i still end up in a heap in the corner now and again

Tommy G pulls them off sweet tho, first time that style of slide caught my eye was the videos from a Nexus-bullets game from one of the centrio's last season

It's not I just think alot of people who have never played against good teams believe sliding is unnecessary
