There you go. The story about the creation of the Poke or what it was actually called: Pokémon-Schlag (German for "Strike"). -- Watch live at / durealfirali
Holy shit i remember beeing a kid playing this game for the first time online and getting oneshot by someone who poked me. Later on he teached the basics and told me this story and that you invented it. Later on i thought he just wasnt good at english cause i thought poke came from "to poke someone" with the tip of the saber over and over. Kinda sad i always heard ppl talking about you but never had a chance to play against you. Cheers mate hope you are doing well.
actually it does not up your damage at all in any way. it just helps you to navigate your saber to find your opponents hitbox (or re-register the ghost hits which happened a lot cause of common q3engine issues, lags and people running weird configs) or parry since ping in this game is the most important thing ever. even with semi decent ping like 20-50 you could easily miss a clear shot and not register a hit if you just aim at what you see on your screen. after all this years i see much less poke then ever before and for a good reason too. its counterproductive for your damage in most scenarios when you know what youre doing.
The amount of semi-knowledge in your posts is exciting. You just basically said it doesn't up your damage but it ups your damage. You are probably just trying to troll, reading through some of your comments but just in case anyone stumbles upon this and is confused: The technique hits several hitboxes at once or simply hits them multiple times, thus it simply and factually multiplies your damage. Raven decided to have multiple hitboxes in Jedi Academy contrary to the normal behavior of the Q3 engine where there's only the head and body (it was like that in Jedi Outcast as well). This "oversight" is what the poke was exploiting. Saying this is counterproductive to your damage is simply being ignorant and shows that you are probably very new to the game or just looking for some kind of excuse to explain what's happening to you in game. Also, the only reason why you would miss a hit is if either your or your opponents net settings suck. Yes, that is a config thing which is why I would recommend anyone to at least gather some general knowledge about net settings in this game instead of just calling it cheating and what not. Not sure why I'm even bothering to explain. I guess because I really liked the game and played it for over a decade competitively. Just seems wrong to have misinformation flying around.
@@DurealTV no. what i meant is in perfect scenario it would not up you damage directly. explain how its possible to 1shot someone when standing still without any poke and no "multihitboxhit" and do 0 damage while poking or viceversa and this weird funny looking stuff happened randomly from time to time even to best players during ESL era. it does not up your damage directly but helps registration to my understanding and nowadays with better connection and better hardware to support jka i can clearly see less poke advantages then back then. this game always had heavy registration issues due to its engine and its very interesting data analysis to read after playing this game for so long. theres deep analysis over the web of sabre attack stages for this game for every stance and every style showing how damage and parry is coded/calculated and its no that simple and thats even without consideration of other factors like lag or poke or whatever. you could be playing this game for 100 years and you would not figure it out on your own by just playing. no offence dude :) i still love to poke cause it kinda grew into me over the years and it was a cool story too. never heard of it on my jka scene over the years.
@@pikawa9494 1shots only really happen with headshots and the chances are bigger in FFA/TFFA modes because the damage is calculated differently. It's obvious you can't be lagging for that or have low packet/rate settings. Otherwise the hits don't properly register. I double-checked many of my "assumptions" with the source code when it became public, I'm not just making things up. You also kinda make it sound like everyone has had bad connections back then but most people already had DSL which was by far enough for any kind of interaction with the game. Overall, you don't really seem to have a different opinion than me on these matters, you just try to add more detail which is cool with me. Except the community thing, I guess, because I loved how close and supporting everyone was so I gotta disagree on that. Just a bunch of nerds loving the game and having fun. Sometimes I still miss those times.
I never thought I'd hear Dureal himself tell that story. Just wow! I hope you'll stick around :D
