I'm already a pretty decent pvper and I'm always looking for ways to improve.
I've pulled of some moves that have had people screaming in the chat in rage.
But how do YOU GUYS pvp?

Eh, I generally like to run straight into them, and aiming at the ground... Then Run behind them and get in a few quick hits, then back off, and either swerve to either side and finish them off from the side! Always stay looking at the player, and Make sure to fire a few bow shots... If they start to win, I run and do a few 180 quick bow shots and that'll usually finish them...

Well, it depends...my PvP will highly rely on if I have a bow/flint and steel/fishing rod or not, and the environment...

If you want to improve, here is some advice - learn your own way of fighting. Some like block hitting, some like jumping for criticals, some do neither, some do both at certain times that feel appropriate. (like me.) Some like to use the bow before a fight, some like to just after some melee for a kill, some will do both, but it depends on the situation. Some use flint and steels to block off pathways in a certain environment, some will use it more offensively, some will do both, depends on what's going on. Some use fishing rods to knock others away in water/off buildings/mountains, some will use it for...other hard to explain things. As always, it depends on the opponent/environment.

Use the environment to your advantage...look around you, get a good idea what's there, and use it effectively. Climbing a ladder without getting knocked off can give you a huge advantage. Knocking an opponent off can do massive damage. Small spaces are easy to use a flint and steel or bow on someone, you can get some easy hits and do massive damage at a distance. Water is great for regenerating if there is enough, especially if you have a fishing rod, or you can lure your opponent in for easy shots with arrows, great for finishing an opponent off. Places like the corn of SG4 are not good for combat, where the only way to go is up and out is to jump out, putting a much smaller distance between you and your opponent, plus you'll essentially be in a corner. Stay away from such areas, more freedom is better.

There is even more I could go into, but I won't bother. My point is that the way I PvP is entirely situational, and telling you every different thing I do would effectively create the longest post ever created in forum history, especially knowing me. >.>

Click fast.

inb4 NCP neuters you for "using a forcefield".

In a heads-up fight with equal gear, I generally watch my opponent's approach. If they charge, an arrow softens them up. After that, juke their second charge if it happens and follow up with a few more jabs. Solid melee work will finish them off.

Flanking, using latency to my advantage, if done properly hitting the sweet spot you can easily take on multiple enemies whilst only recieving min or even no damage, depending on their ping.
