The What If Thread...

Just when you think you've experienced it all, UC2 will somehow leave you wanting more. Case in point... this morning I decided to take a break from my 360 and play some CTF instead. Anyhow, I decided to use Syzygy for a change of pace and slowly began Self-Destructing whenever possible.

Well, during one match I triggered this ability at the same time Ra fired-off a freeze from his Nakhti Pistols. When I saw him frozen, I immediately began activating the coup de grace sequence as the self-destruct countdown was commencing. I wasn't quite sure which would come first, and ultimately suicided.

So the question remains... if the canned CDG sequence would've begun - would Szyzgy have still exploded or not? How about after the CDG was done? Man, I'd love to find an answer, but replicating this scenario would only be feasible with another human opponent to help the experimentation.

Your thoughts?

Why not just plug a second controller in stand real far back with Anubis, shoot your freeze shot and then quickly switch to the other controller, deflect, and then CDG and activate Self Destruct

If I stand far enough back it might just work. I'll definitely have the capture card rolling and will post a video if it's cool.

YEah that'll work better.....but if it's unsuccessful, we can try it online.

I tend to be on at about 6-7 am for some odd reason.

Yep, I've spent this morning on a mission to find an answer.

What's the verdict you ask? Well, I've made a short video and uploaded the montage to my website for your viewing. You can either watch the streamed video which should begin automatically or simply click on the Syzygy Download Link to download from my site.

You couldn't just tell us huh? I'm sweatin bullets over here while streaming the video... *bites nails*

EDIT :: Just watched it, that's weird, it feels like the Self Destruct sequence gets cut off and you explode automatically. Though I haven't played in months, I remember it took longer to explode after you activate it. Lmao at Ice Cube and Chris Tucker clip.
