@@NiicoNexusLet me give you some good Hyper spots, On king of the hill you can go on that massive wall where the flags are. I always do it because nothing can reach me and I can hit easy shots, on that space map you can get on the roof in the center for a nice 360 view of the entire map, to play hyper you just really need to look around for spots that are hidden, hard to get to, and high or far.
Hyper main here. IMO learning how to CQC with Hyper is THE most important skill you need to learn while playing him. The thing is, during CQC encounter is not about "I need to outdamage my opponent" but rather "I need to avoid all possible damage". You gotta keep in your head cooldowns of enemy's abilities to know when they'll be used, while knowing how to counter or at least be dealt bare minimum damage, while staying at managable distance so you can still hit shots and render enemy M1 useless, WHILE sneaking in shots that doesn't put you in danger, WHILE making sure that whatever damage you tank is dealt to shield, WHILE keeping enemy HP and SHIELD values in mind to know how long will it take to kill enemy or destroy SHIELD, WHILE knowing both player's and phighter's playstyles to even know if being low or SHIELDless will affect their playstyle, WHILE having a getaway plan for if things go out of control. Becoming pro on Hyper is not something that happens overnight, lots of practice is required, as well as very unique strategizing mindset that is uncommon to PHIGHTING! usual react-on-the-spot one, although I suspect that Bio might require a similar one...
Yeah I usually think that when trying to play Hyper but in all fairness, sometimes I just get incredibly pressured when up close because I am always thinking my opponents will always hit moves that can lock them in place. Great comment though!
I really quickly wanna talk about 4:31 where you truce with the opposing . I think it's really funny how easy it is to co-operate with an enemy Hyperlaser. Sometimes they'll even sit on the same roof sniping together.
I’ve seen Slingshots and Hyperlasers sniping on the same roof too, it’s funny and kinda wholesome how ranged players can just accept their ranged opponents and live in peace with them.
As a hyper main, most people have already taken my good tips so if I have to give one big tip, it’s to ALWAYS have your camera sensitivity on the lowest it can possibly be. You have no idea how much it helps until you use it, try it
the issue with hyperlaser is that it requires the other team to be bad enough to completely ignore him, because if literally any member of the other team decides to do anything about the annoying mosquito shooting at you, hyperlaser crumbles. They are incapable of surviving closeish range combat, while literally every other class functions well in closeish range. Hyperlaser is countered by every single class in the game, and if anyone decides to be proactive, you will be folded and have a kdr of -2 I was once a hyperlaser main, but after deciding to try a class that is actually able to survive a close range encounter, I am now a rocket main. much better dps with direct hits and aoe, along with the bonus of NOT GIVING YOUR ENEMY FREE KILLS
One of the few hyper mains my opinions on hyper + feels... okay to play he's not that clunky and doesn't feel overwhelming +Good damage +CAN be played mid long or close range depending on playstyle +Terrifying when not dealt with -PAINFULLY EASY TO TARGET -Easily a 50/50 -maps make him want to die = E should've stayed as press E to tp instead of hold, would've been much better then the clunky mess that his E and his E exclusively is
I really liked this since it kind of shows the frustration that playing him can be, but i think i may have some tips for playing against cqc *Don't use E as an escape tool* This might seem obvious, but i think the thing that should be of focus about this would be thinking of the E as kind of like katana's parry, intentionally activating it to work as a counter against anything that tries to walk up to you and then waddle out with Q *Use corner turns to throw your enemy off* Both your Q and E are AOE moves, but your Q can give you speed while also acting as a damage tool, so walking up into corners where you can damage them without clear line of sight then backtracking with your higher speed leaves them quite confused, letting you shoot them with a quick m1+m2 combo while they turn back the corner *Don't rely on attacking with your primaries unless you're sure it'll hit* This more generally applies to making your enemy move as predictably as possible,either by forcing them into places where they can only walk straight lines (ex: any of the bridges on SFOTH, between building alleys on protect telamon, the such) and aim at generally head level, where even if they jump you'll hit them on the legs. *If possible, always go for a spot with height difference* Being on the superior height always makes a difference, so going for that can be a lifesaver with how little options it gives for your opponent to reach you, however, if you find yourself to be at a lower height, it's better off to simply try and lure them out of it. If you're out in the open, you're pretty much done for, but as a hyperlaser, a position like that is just naturally disadvantageous to begin with, so it's not like you're to be found there often to begin with, and i hope these tips help, even if just a little
hyper main here. loved ur analysis of him. i agree with a lost of this. my biggest struggle is escaping when targeted by melees. i think the sfoth rework has nerfed him a bit, tbh. the m1 cooldown is a lot easier to deal with once you get used to it. my strat when being closed in is to avoid the charge with my 2nd shot with E. if u aim lower or are under fire while you tp, you can get the tp effect without changing positions or the charge up. since this instant charges your next shot, you can get your next hit fast, and the explosion makes it easier to get them directly off you.
8:27 These things don’t really happen to me, mainly because I position myself in a way where only characters with high vertical movement can get me, I also wait for all slingshot players to use any move that slows them down or keeps them in place. I also move unpredictably to confuse players. I also use my Q offensively so I can keep the opponent in place for an easy 20 or 40 damage. Targeting can be annoying, but it can also lead to percentage towards my phinisher.
i main hyperlaser and yea getting targeted is annoying ESPECIALLY if its conquer and its a melee class (sword and bio specifically) chasing you and i feel like if the devs wanted to let hyperlaser stand a chance in close quarters fights i think they could just give hyperlaser buffed damage at closer ranges (sorta like damage drop off but like the opposite) idk Im stupid and probably biased since i main hyperlaser is good video i agreed with a good 200% of it also if you love the wind up sound on hyper ult just wait till you hear the seraphlaser ult wind up
I dont really use hyperlaser but I do main him, having to shoot at the forehead is hard because people always move and its not really fair. Only one person that plays hyperlaser gave me a tip to shoot at the forehead, thanks Lyyn. :D
I’m pretty sure the developers of PHIGHTING! Got Hyperlaser’s design by a bedwars kit, Vulcan. I would love to see a comic of those two sillies together.
I was the HyperLaser that used it's phinisher on you when talking about the stupid hitbox the phinisher had inin the "I REALLY HATE HYPERLASER" Section omg 😭😭🙏🙏
hyper tip! never get on point. trust me i’ve played hyper maybe twice in my life joke aside i don’t play hyper but as someone who has to deal with hypers a lot, hyper is really easy to target esp with certain characters (sword biograft) so be aware of a melee about to maul you
it's the only one I truly know how to play and if I go any melee I'd prob die in seconds also for me the best way to play hyper is not to panic while you are going crazy, and by that I mean strategize your next move if you are being targeted or losing the game (if conquer just get in the circle I like to call that hyper melee)
So, hyper laser does okay damage on body, good damage on headshot, but it doesn’t make sense to have to headshot people from a stupid range. Thé grenade is okay for a get off me tool, the teleport has too long of a windup to be able to do anything since a slingshot or rocket can just cancel your tp. Just give him a scope passive, make the tp instant, and maybe even let him cook the grenade to make it an actual deadly get off me tool.
For me, I would love to play him if I didn't get bored as heck while doing so. I either just stand in an area and shoot, or take the dangerous route and stay on the ground (and get killed fast). Probably because I dont play him much, but characters like boombox and skate are so exciting to play because of thier gimmicks and all the funny stuff that can happen (Boombox pushing people off cliffs, skate targeting a single play while skating, or just falling on accident). I don't see that much with other roles, but hey its my preference lol.
TL;DR I love Hyperlaser, but he is a very conditional phighter with a drastically high skill floor. I love hyperlaser, he's my second main behind Medkit of all phighters. My two issues are his delayed shots (I'm a flickshotter), and the fact that he is way too conditional. If a map has very little high ground such as the basketball map, or a lot of obstacles such as Nuke the Whales, then he is very limited in his strength. His Phinisher in paticular bugs me. Mainly the long wind up along with the loud charge up notifies any enemies to find cover ASAP, which ends with the Hyperlaser's Phinisher going to waste. The only way to consistently get use out of it if you are not one of the best players is to have either Subspace or Skateboard on your team. Both for their Phinishers. Subspace's Phinisher pulls in enemies to a single point, while Skateboard's Phinisher mass stuns. These both allow you to get some free shots, but again, they are very conditional and rely on other people to help you out. In the end, Hyperlaser is a fun character to play when the circumstances are right, but otherwise he gets heavily outclassed, and you will end up better by playing another character. Sorry for the wall of text lol
Honestly, Hyper mains can be TERRIFYING if the player knows what they’re doing. Even worse, Subspace and Hyperlaser on the same team can spell certain death for the other team if these two players work together effectively. I have massive respect for Hyperlaser mains because they’re constantly being chased down but continue to play the class and hone their skills regardless. I also can’t aim which is why I went from a Sub main to a Ban main, so anyone who has good aiming skills automatically gets my approval.
hyper is a heavy focus bigbrain tryharder character, thats why everyone hates him, hyper mains are so good and when you try to use it, your just bad with it
