Here's a demo I recorded of ExistentialRisk doing his Basy thing, dropping on peoples' heads. It should demonstrate what to do pretty nicely. It takes practice to actually do it though.

The point he was getting at is how the basilisk grab range (96 units) outdoes the painsaw's attack range (64). When confronted with a painsaw, a basilisk can just stand there and wait for the painsawer to walk into grab range, then swipe freely while receiving no damage.


Wow! :D

I've gotta try that sometime!  :D  :D  :D

Yeah it works great, so long as the server registers your grab before the hummie gets 64 units or closer. Sometimes when either you or the server is lagging, it takes it a little while before it notices you're in grab range and by then you're toast :P

Of course, there is a counter for that. It's quite simple in fact : the human only needs to jump towards the basilisk when he notes that it is waiting for him. Basilisk grab doesn't prevent a jumping human from moving forward :D

or just run (boost)
also running human is faster than backuping mara/basi/goon, only dretch is faster than running hummie

Run won't be a perfect solution. The basilisk only needs to move backwards at the same time and stop as soon as the grab is in effect to counter it :) It makes it much harder to pull out for the basi player though.

Anyway, trick or not, there is not doubt at all that a painsaw user in a vent shaft has 0 chances against a basilisk. Switch to that blaster ASAP :)

i played long time ago as a human and this guy as a basilisk PWNED all of us. He just KILLED all of us instantly and we all got very pissed of (but not flaming pissed off, just a bit frustrating) and the player was very good with basilisk. Don't know who it is though.

Yeah, there are some insane basi players. Mind you, there some insane players for every evo.

Best thing to do is to stand just out of range, taunt it, and then throw a grenade... MUAHAHAHA
