    oh well that makes sense. it hard to beat jerett anyway, but with jerett it is even harder. ok so some general tips i use to help me win.

    ~keep shooting big shot whenever possible. this will prevent your opponent from hitting you with any fast shot.

    ~not really a tip but you NEED to be good at blocking. if you are not, start practicing

    ~once in a while, let your ammo recharge all the way and then release a wave of quick shots one right after another. one of them is bound to hit your opponent

    just keep trying also. :)

    As starmonkey mentioned, if you are using Jerett, try to:
    -align yourself with her
    -fire a few slow shots in her direction
    -just as your slow shots are about to hit her, throw the knife and follow up with a few fast shots

    The trick is to use a good combination of deflect, slow shots, and fast shots

    I like to use that strat when playing with Jerett.

    Also, don't forget to deflect.

    In the new BT MP version, she also absorbs +1HP per shot, and Jerett has been weakened a bit;)

    oh good! thanks for making jerett a bit weaker. that will really make a difference! imo, he was a bit too powerful.

    The only thing that bothers me is that if BROC can get you with his ice attack, a good player using him can win the battle by just shooting you with another ice following right behind and you will never escape. That may be the point, but it maybe could use some more balancing

    This is a good point. We actually thought that as well, but in practice it is very difficult to freeze against a good player. We actually increased the speed of BROC's ice in the new version and still found that it was hard to actually freeze - the faster the opponent the harder to freeze in general.

    In any case, I'd be curious to get some feedback from people that tried the game in MP against friends and what they thought about the various characters. We will continue to balance the characters.

    Characters will feel very different against other ppl than AI. Please keep that in mind.

    They sure do, and while it's great that you don't know who you are facing until the game starts, it is also a lot of fun to play mirror matches with characters you usually wouldn't use...
