Twin Barrel: Difference between revisions

Line 22:

When the user fires the Twin Barrel, the recoil propels them opposite of the direction they aim. This can be used to perform a pseudo-jump in midair, opening up alternate routes for the Pyro to take and allowing them to go into areas they normally cannot reach. The user's current velocity, such as when running, and friction, such as when on the ground, affects the distance gained. The highest vertical velocity is gained by aiming straight downwards, standing still, and shooting immediately after a jump. The highest horizontal velocity is gained by aiming slightly downwards, running backwards, and shooting immediately after a jump. With this technique, the Pyro can effectively travel as fast as a [[Scout]]. Crouching has no effect on the velocity gained.

Taunting with the Twin Barrel will cause the Pyro to perform the Hadouken kill taunt, releasing a cone of fire from their hands and dealing 500 damage to any enemies directly in front of them. It will always face forwards regardless of where the user aims, and can kill multiple enemies at once. It will not deal [[critical]] hits, but can deal mini-crits. The fire is red regardless of which team the user is on.

* Part of the Twin Barrel's publicity blurb, "Jumping the Gun", refers both to using this weapon as a mobility tool and the phrase "Jumping the Gun", meaning to do something without thinking.

* The Twin Barrel does not have any knockback against ÜberCharged enemies.

* The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadouken Hadouken] (波動拳 in Japanese) originates from a special attack in the Street Fighter video games, where it is depicted as a orb of special energy rather than a cone of fire.
