Yeah, while lunging, i mean wtf its specially easier to duck or roll forward while lunging.

Besides its obvious that the bat guy is going to swing to your head, so you will be always try to be ready to roll.


And no, any average person would not run while having a knife when the other guy has a bat.

Anyone can use a knife, not everyone can swing hard enough to knock out cold a guy whos running towards you like if hells was chasing him.

To get his knees you have to be very close to him, and even if you break them, its gonna be even harder to stop his momentum than if you hit him in the upper parts of his body.

u dont have to be any closer to hit the knees than the head, crouch a little, and it might be somewhat easy to duck , but i dont think u can jump fast enough, or high enough if the bat is going knee high or a bit above, and i think a starting distance would have to be defined too coz im thinking its like 4-5 feet apart, and not enough to charge and build up momentum, but dont know, nobody menitoned distance, but to be fair its gotta be more than 4 feet

Seriously, all this ninja shit about someone actually standing after a good bat blow and all this bullshit about a bat being hard to swing is ridiculous.

-A bat is not hard to swing if you can do a couple push-ups.
-A blow from a bat hurts like a bitch, breaks bones and almost certainly destorys your balance.
-Once off balance and in pain the person tries to continue 3 feet foward. Whats stopping the guy from then moving to the side or kicking the dumb bitch as he tumbles to the turf...

The knife guy gets his shit ruined.

how are people arguing for the bat imagining the guy with the bat holding it?

i'm picturing standing with it wound up like a baseball batter; and standing facing about 45 degrees towards the knife guy

Balance doesnt count when you have your whole momentum on your side after running and you just have to point your knife towards the other guys chest and let momentum take care of the rest.

I like my chances better when he throws the knife, as I know I cannot throw a knife properly to penetrate a person. The best scenario with a thrown knife is a slashing wound.

it counts because if you hit someone and they have momentum you can knock them off their line ala people who want to detonate a bomb on an asteroid causing it to go off its current line

well if the knife guy can duck from a head shot, i think bat guy could also sidestep, i mean its kinda stupid just standing while he is runing full speed at you, and we still have to define the starting positions

You dont need to know how to throw a knife, missing a throw when hes that close is retarded, just take a well balanced knife like that one, throw it against a wall or whatever, and you will see that its not so damn hard to throw a knife.

who is seriously suggesting that a knife > bat when both persons are of equal skill?
who the hell charges against a bat with a knife
even if the knife guy goes buck wild and charges in, it's not 100% that he would 1 hit kill the bat wielder.

Oh yeah, just like you are able to hit a baseball thrown at you with full strenght every single time, you will be able to hit a spinning knife just the same.

it's the other way around... the bat needs to one-hit kill

because otherwise once they get in close, the bat guy is DEAD.

if charging in with the knife isn't something most people wouldn't do, it's only because they're not imagining themselves in a fight to the death.
