double step, triple step, quad step question

[pkemr4]

1. what tree is best for using these steps
2. which one is noob friendly
3. what are best weapons for doing it
4. what are the diference between
5. how much faster is it then normal running

[NeverDT]

1. anything with step attack
2. double step is obviously the easiest, LA triple is easy, weapon switch triple is easy if you don't have an awful comp like me and quad is easy if you can do either of the above because you just have to learn the other part. all in all, none of them are that difficult, you can learn any of them in like an hour and practice them in TA
3. twin daggers, because their step attack is fast (or they would be if the allclass twin daggers weren't incredibly laggy, more so than other weapons, on switch)
4. self-explanatory
5. quad > triple = knuckle dash > double > running

triple is considerably faster, quad will leave people who can't do either in the dust. if hunter is a main or sub you'll frequently do weapon switches to spam assault buster to cover even more ground

most people do not quad in (JPN) TA with people who aren't at least tripling because of the above fact

Here's a visual for the differences:

And what about if you use camoed twin daggers + knunckles?
Is twin daggers + knunkles quad dash faster, slower or equal to both twin daggers triple dash?

[NeverDT]

afaik it should pretty much be the same

[Chdata]

You could t-dash with two gunslashes if you wanted to and it'd be as good as t-daggers as far as I know.

At least I have a friend who does that and outruns t-dagger peeps, but he quads. I dunno if the step attack makes a great difference or anything.

[pkemr4]

so... whats the steps for doing double, triple and quad?

[yunamon]

I'm curious too since there's nigh to nothing I can find on the step-to-step tutorial...

I only know Knuckle dash myself: (Requires Knuckle Gear) hold primary attack > repeatedly press dodge button + (optional) auto-run (so you only need to control facing instead of directional buttons)

[SakoHaruo]

use google translate. there are many tutorials on niconico and you don't need to know Japanese to understand how things work.

quoted from syhard, this is for quad:

"what i do is i dash->weapon switch, LA->dash, jumpdash, jumpdash-> step atk. the timing comes to everyone a little differently, so fiddle around with it and see what timing works best for you."

I LA dash like this:

hold down w -> dash -> hold alt (to do an LA shortcut in the middle of the dash) -> dash -> jumpdash -> step attack -> dash -> hold alt...

idr how regular triple works
