Did you buy SF? If you did, you likely suck right now. This guide should remedy this. This is coming from multiple people of extreme skill and experience with the game. STARRING: [SFPL] checryan and that toast dude. We have built this amazing guide for you. Please share with your friends, as this guide, if used to its fullest capabilities, will make you as good as me and Myriad and Rosa (Maybe)! Know a really lit tactic or move or some crap you use that ain't on here? Good! Just comment it, and I would have forced Myriad to pu- I mean kindly asked Myriad to put it there, but now he's gone. We are always open to new methods to deliver the best guide possible to all of our readers. This guide covers pretty much everything I can think of. If you still suck after reading, well, you just suck.
Maybe as a side project I might add weapon statistics and map strats to make it better, but not right now, maybe even do achievements too, I don't know. If you are a god at SF, PM me and I can let you be a contributor.
Myriad453 did most of it but then left, so now it's mostly me.

-august is the best

EDIT! Myriad has left. I will likely be editing this guide now. Don't know when, but expect updates eventually.

Basic Controls
Difficulty: Super Easy

First of all, here are some basic controls to help you get started in Stick Fight.
The game uses WASD and arrow key controls.

W= Jump,
D= Right,
A= Left,
S= Crouch/Fall Faster
Q/Space= Jump
V/Mouse2= Block,
C/Mouse1= Punch/Fire
F = Throw Weapon
ENTER/RETURN = Open Chat Box / Send Message

Use these to navigate the map, collect weapons, defeat all other players, win the round, and say "Git Gud".
Advanced Controls
Difficulty: Medium

Some of the more advanced controls/movement combos can be learned here.
For the most part, they aren't hard pull off, but if you do them wrong at certain times,
it may lead to losing the round.

The first move is a punch mid-jump in order to go higher.
This is quite simple and useful, and can allow you to get weapons before others do.
Here is a punch jump compared to the normal one.


















Now, as you can see, the difference in the two jumps isn't immense, however,
it can still be quicker and deal damage to opponents while doing so.



Now for the second jump. This one has a large difference in the jump height.
What you do is jump, punch, and before you start to fall, quickly block.
This will give you an extra little boost, and sometimes even launch you, depending on where
you find the sweet spot to be. Try it out a little, and practice. In no time, you'll be able to
jump higher and reach weapons/platforms before anyone else can do so. Don't forget, this can be useful to soar over enemies you don't feel like fighting, and can help quickly escape a bad situation.

Here is a block jump compared to the normal jump.




















As seen from the GIFs above, you'll notice in the block jump that it can launch you or just
send you higher. This jump is fantastic and will do wonders at times, but there are two major cons.

- You are using block, and depending how commonly you do this move, it could leave you open to being beaten up without much defense.

-It can be unpredictable, depending on if you manage to hit it perfectly or not. This could lead you to fall off the map (depending on where you are going) or not launch you far enough from your enemies.

Besides these two cons, this jump is very reliable, and once you get good at it, it can become fun, too.
Advanced Fighting Methods
Difficulty: Hard

Fighting is what this game is all about, it really doesn't require saying that. It's called Stick Fight for a reason. Anyway, here is where some fantastic fighting moves and maybe even a few strategies are contained.

The first Advanced fighting move,

The Slam

Now, this move isn't very hard to pull off, but can be used in some more advanced combos.
This is also one go-to move if you want to defeat an enemy, but you may not be able to get close from normal methods.

All you do is simply jump off the platform/wall you were on and hold crouch. This makes you drop super fast, and most of the time nobody will even see you coming before you slam into them. But here's the catch. The slamming doesn't actually do damage.

What you do after you slam is what really causes the chaos. The best time to use this move is whenever you have a melee weapon, or no weapon at all. You drop, and the second you hit, start beating the other person up. Chances are, you'll be able to damage (or even kill, depends on the health) them to a point where winning will be tough.

Before showing you the move actually being used, lets talk about the cons of this move.

-Doesn't actually do any damage against enemies. Pretty self-explanatory why that's a con.

-Depending on the player, they might expect it, and they'll find some form of defense towards it.

-It could kill you. You fall at rapid speeds, and if you don't do this right, you might fall offscreen, losing you the round.


Besides that, this move is useful, and doesn't require much practice.

Here is a slam move in action.

(going to put a gif here soon)
"Mario Jumping" (basically an upgraded slam): While falling, right before you hit the opposing stickman, punch downwards/ throw your weapon, jump away again, and repeat. This can win 1 versus 1 situations very fast. Thanks NeonOblivion for this method. I hope you don't mind me copy and pasting it with a few edits lol.

The Weapon Jump (added by Myriad)

A weapon is a physics object. When you pick up a weapon, you have a small window of time in which you can jump off the weapon. This can give you the extra boost to get over a pit, or let you grab a weapon no one else can.

The Conan Fall[/u]
Created by Craylobster

If you perform a Slam, but punchblock at the same time, you move down faster and also have a chance of blocking any attacks from the enemy as you fall. You can also perform this diagonally without holding crouch.

The Attack Rocket
Created by kuino

This trick allows you to deal massive damage with the hard-to-use Minigun. While shooting downwards, hold crouch to go lower if you get too far up and use left and right to control where you shoot and hit your opponent many times.

The Pull
Created by kuino

This trick lets you pull an opponent closer to you so you can beat them up without fear of them blocking you with their shield! To perform this trick, go up to the opponent and punch away from them while right next to them!

Difficulty: Medium

Ghost Move
Created by kuino
This only works on winter levels or levels with thin floors.
If you punch and block (rapid punch) downwards while holding crouch, you can phase through the floor or block of ice ground.

Reloading Guns (Easy)
Created by (Unknown, sorry I have no idea who told me this, but I'm including it here.)
This works pretty much whenever you have a gun. Low on ammo? If you are in a corner, or anywhere really on solid ground, throw your weapon at your feet and pick it up. For some reason, it restores the ammo completely.

Quickdraw (Medium)
Created by Myriad435 I believe
The quickdraw is simple, with almost if not all regular guns, if you fire as soon as you pick it up, it is dead accurate. So, if you see a revolver, as soon as you pick it up, shoot it at your enemy, it should hit. Note this works with more guns than revolver. You can also throw it on a platform to pick it up again for another highly accurate shot.

Shoot + Throw (Easy - Medium I don't know)
Suggested by Azure, already known though.
If you are about to throw your gun (you should be) right before you throw, shoot like right before your throw, if it hits, well, they suffer the shot and the throw assuming you throw well. Not much of a special skill, just squeezing as much damage as you can in the shortest amount of time I guess. Use that how you will.

Punchgliding (Easy)
created by Bolt
When you are in the air, keep punching up and it should slow down the process, you can combine that with jump punch blocking and keep going sideways to bridge longer gaps.

Hat Jump (Medium)
Created by CodyTheWrestler
Throw a weapon in the air and then weapon jump off it as it comes down.

Punchglide
Created by Bolt
Punching and/or shielding while falling can help slow your descent, if you want that for some reason, well, it's there. Maybe to stall a little longer. Thanks to Bolt for suggesting.
TheLoaf's Advanced Combat Technique: Body Surf
Difficulty: Very Hard

Body Surfing is a really cool technique that i use. This can rack up some nice hits and damage. This can also take practice, so i will show you how to do it.
Step 1
Make sure to hit vertically:
Obviously you are going to hit vertically, but not to far up. You see you punching in the air wont get you very far, but hitting in a diagonal (mostly upwards) motion, you will get much farther and much more speed. Meaning that you will be as close as you were to your opponent as much as you were on the ground. (This will come in role later) The Second Hit
Get under. Try to duck under your opponent to get a better angle of which your punch will hit, you will get more vertical momentum. Now after step one is done, you are going to have to jump at the same time, like if you were punch jumping into some one. Now the second hit will be a bit tricky but it is easy to overcome. You may want to PSJ (Punch Shield Jump) into this next hit, since that the opponent has some time to react.
[b]Step 3[/b] Now after the second jump it will be much harder to get more hits. The mechanic in this game when you hit someone is really wierd in my opinion. As you hit someone in the air you are granted this extra boost (Hard to explain but we will get into it.) And as always we use this to our advantage. This extraboost is like you had a super punch, then once this happens you will be able to hit your opponent onece again like in step 2. [previewimg=11363180;sizeOriginal,floatLeft;Step3.gif] [/previewimg] [b]Outro[/b] Thats it! Now this is just a 3 hit normal tutorial other hits will need some extra and different steps, so i will let that out soon! Ive made this tutroial in my guides go check that out if you want a simplified version :) http://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1234863664 [b][u]Extras/Counters[/u][/b] There are people who would try to counter this, so i will tell what these will be and how to couter these! [list] [*] Going down: [/list] Some people will like to go under you by pressing S, avoiding the combo. So in order to avoid this you will need to lightly tap the S key a couple times to stay a good distance from his escape. [u]I WILL EDIT ONCE THERE IS MORE TO DISCOVER, TELL US WHAT COUNTERS YOU GOT[/u] Step 3

To-Do list for checrycan
This is a to-do list of things I want in the guide.
#1 Weapon values
#2 Possibly some individual map strategies, I don't know.
#3 Achievements
#4 (This is for everybody) More advanced techniques.
#5 Update this guide with every update.
Achievements: Description and how to earn.
Well, it's finally time. I am adding achievements to this guide.
Stick Irvin: Become targeted by a snake and live the round. Pretty self-explanatory, just don't die.
Walkover: Not really your skill, it's relying on the rest of your party sucking. Win by everyone falling to their death.
A poultry meal. Get 99 total kills. Pretty self-explanatory again, and easy. Just play some games.
Headshot. Get a a headshot. Easy, just keep shooting people until you get a headshot or something.
Your kung fu is strong. Try to get mid-air melee kills, it will speed this process up a lot. Kill with a mid-air kick.
Killing spree. Well, just get not bad at the game, and kill 4 people without death, don't know what else to say.
Double kill. Quickly kill 2 people. Easy with automatic weapons, like the Laser AK. Just spray the enemies down.
Rampage. Same as killing spree, just 5 people. Don't suck.
Dominating: Same as Rampage, just 6 people. Don't get yourself killed.
Ace: Win by killing each of the 3 foes in one round. Just get an automatic weapon, get lucky, or git gud, really all there is.
Explorer. Finish a round on each map. Just play, you'll get it, really all there is. ONLY COUNTS OFFICIAL MAPS.
Unstoppable, same as Dominating, but 7 people. Get good.
4d Stickmen. Survive a black hole. Get the **** away from it and kill your foes.
Bzuhzzzzzzzuhzzzzzuhzzzz: Pick up the Lightsaber, only found in Laser8. Just don't die to the guarding lasers.
Genocide: Kill 8 people in a row. Stop sucking and you can get it.
Royal ace. Harder than ace, you have to get 3 kills in one round... without taking damage. Easy with gun if you just shred the enemies with bullets from afar.
Riposte. Block then kill. I don't really know, I'm not good at melee. Try blocking, then charging when they run or something.
Triple kill: Like double kill, but 3 people. Get a Laser AK for easiest.
Godlike. Like genocide, but 9 people. Get lucky and good.
Wicked Stick: Hardest of killing. 10 people in a row. Just get really lucky and good.
Ice age: Get guns and break all the ice. Then win.
Snake. Really hard actually. You need to die to a snake, and Botten Hanna says it needs to be opponents snake, but as far as I know, it's bugged. If you can earn it RN, please let me know. (As of pre-Monday update)
Ricochet. Win by killing with a blocked bullet. Just get good at blocking, ask Rosa or something. Block a bullet which fatally hits the enemy.
Conqueror. Play a lot, you will get it eventually. Win on every official map.
Bounce: Kill with last Bouncer bullet. Just get lucky. You might get it, and don't kill yourself with it please.
мигающий кинжал. Kill 3 in a round with the Edgelord Dagger (Blink dagger). Really ****ing annoying with how rare the Edgelord is. You can hopefully get it eventually, I don't know.
Xiao Xiao. Really annoying. Unlock all other achievements, and is somehow more common than White Death, how that is, is beyond me.
White Death. 77 confirmed sniper rifle kills. Just get good with the Sniper Rifle. Takes some killing to earn.

If you have a controller, you can use your controller player to get these achievments easily, by killing the controller player 77 times with a sniper, or killing them on every map, etc.
