Melee Animation Cancel: Added details about tech

	== Melee Animation Cancel ==		== Melee Animation Cancel ==
			It is possible to get the lunge from the melee heavy attack, but using the cooldown of the normal attack. This is done by pressing left click and then right click in very quick succession. It is so fast it is almost at the same time. When executed the animation for the normal attack will play, the sound for the heavy attack will play, and you will get a speed boost identical to the heavy attack lunge.

			The easiest weapon by far to hit the cancel with is the Nizeh. On the Nizeh the window for right clicking is much bigger so you do not need to be as precise. You can also make it easier by turning down your FPS cap. For instance playing on 60 fps it is much easier to hit cancels than on 120 fps.

			The Katana and Flamberge are very useful to cancel on.

			The benefit of canceling is that you can get the movement power of the right click, but on a shorter cooldown. According to manual testing with the Flamberge the cooldown for normal attack is 876ms while the cooldown for the heavy attack is 1128ms. If these were the exact cooldown numbers then this means that with canceling you can lunge every 876ms instead of every 1128ms. In addition you can heavy attack 876ms after a lunge instead of needing to wait 1128ms.

			== Slide Jump ==
			Jump and let go of crouch during a slide to cancel it, giving you a burst of speed. Slide jump and follow with a normal jump repeatedly to utilize them as quickly as possible.

			== Melee Lunge/Heavy Attack ==
			While holding the alt fire with a [[Flamberge]], [[Nizeh]], [https://straftat.wiki/index.php?title=The_Katana The Katana], [[Javal Mahmaerd]], or [[GodSword]], attacking will cause you to perform a lunge or heavy attack. Combine this with slide jumping, directional aiming, and wall jumps to gain immense movement speed and height.

			== Sloped/Angled/Steep Walls ==
			Sloped walls give infinite wall jumps from them.

	== ~~Movement Tech~~ ==		== Stored Wall Jump ==
			Slide jump into the corner of a wall at an angle to store a wall jump, giving the ability to jump in mid-air before touching the ground.

	~~'''Slide~~ Boost~~''': Ducking right before jumping gives you an extra speed boost from the sliding mechanic.~~		== Double Wall Boost ==

	~~'''Melee Lunge''': While blocking with melee weapons such as [https://straftat.wiki/index.php?title~~=~~The_Katana The Katana] or [https://straftat.wiki/index.php?title~~=~~Nizeh Nizeh], attacking will perform~~ a ~~lunge~~. ~~Combine it with jumping and directional aiming to go flying~~.		== Fast Falling ==
			Lean left and move forward over the edge of a surface to fast fall. Bypass death barriers.

	== ~~Weapon Advice~~ / ~~Meta~~ ==		Can also be performed during a slide by leaning, un-leaning, sliding, and re-leaning in quick succession. If done correctly, the player model will glitch and cover the left portion of the screen during the duration of the slide.

	== Infinite Range Claymores ==		== Barrels ==
	Claymores have an infinite range. You can use it to your advantage by trapping your opponent to certain areas if placed correctly.
			=== Momentum Stacking ===
			Barrels can store momentum in the direction they are being thrown by rapidly throwing and catching the barrel repeatedly. Performed by using Left Click to throw and F to grab in quick succession.

			=== Flying ===
			Similar to '''Momentum Stacking''', barrels can be repeatedly thrown, jumped on, and grabbed again to "fly." Performed nearly identical to '''Momentum Stacking''', this time adding a Jump between the throw and grab.

			=== Launches ===
			There are 4 variations of barrel launching, but all have the same premise; using the momentum a barrel gives upon being thrown to your advantage, at the cost of 25 health, as thrown barrels cause damage.

			==== Slide Launch: ====
			'''Wall Launch:'''

			'''Lean Launch''':

			'''Throw Launch''':

			=== Clipping ===
			Barrels can be placed directly inside yourself in order to clip through walls and solid surfaces. Performed by holding a movement key in the direction of the wall and placing the barrel directly at your feet.

			=== Pushing ===
			Barrels can be pushed around by moving into them, additionally allows the ability to move other players around. Sliding into a barrel causes you to lift it off the ground without picking it up.

			=== <s>Stacking</s> ===
			<s>Multiple barrels can be picked up by (insert how to)</s>

			Removed in (unknown version, patch notes do not mention)

			== Claymores ==
			Claymores can be used as a surface after being placed down
