Let's talk about ridiculously impractical combat maneuvers

[Dragxon]

So the seismic palm stance's opening punch is the worst possible way to throw a punch first of all it breaks the first rule of engagement: Never under any circumstances turn your back on the enemy. You turn around 360 degrees to hit somebody with the back of your left fist. No way will there be any force behind that hit and it takes a whole two seconds to complete the animation with a fully upgraded fury. It's completely ridiculous.

Warframe is not about logic it is about fun (kind of). Even tho parkour really doesn't help you combat wise because you will get instakilled in high lvl missions. The game kind of lacks badassery. The movement system is great and all but it really does not save you. Imagine you are in a situation where there are enemies all around you like butchers or something and you roll out of the way, you get up and they are already behind your back and you die.

There's too much of this to list it all. 

Just use something else if it bothers you too much.

What this guy said right here.

Spinning back fist IRL is a powerful punch, I have seen banned in many tournaments as a blind technique because the spin obscures what strike you plan to follow through with.
For the same reason you mention about showing your back to your opponent you don't use it to lead in.
Its also executed much faster than the animation to minimize time with your back to your opponent and to gain momentum during the spin with your arm close to your body like an iceskater or dancer spinning. Unleashing the that momentum coupled with the force of muscles at the last possible moment.

[VoidNomade]

Game play wise, 95% of all stances are garbage.

I don't care! It looks cool! I want my stuff to look cool, not realistic! 

[OfPowerOfWant]

Spinning back hand strikes can be brutal and highly unexpected.

Have seen a couple lay people out immediately in mixed-martial arts

That´s the line of the guys designing the stances when someone says to them they should work on meaningful combos like in any 3rd person action game. :>

[Dragxon]

yeah irl a spinning back hand is powerful but not when you're spinning that slow.

and it doesn't bother me I just want to have a good laugh with like minded people.

Let's take a game where you're a permakid who telepathically controls a big virus with magic powers and break down the logic of said game, hey?

Anything with Hold Right Button is a good stance. Every thing else can go to Hek.

warframe in too words: f logic

srsly though, if we are gonna talk about logic and combat rules we wont get anywhere, if the combo itself is not practical enough fro you, that`s fine, there are 2 other stances for fists, unlike machetes.....

For fists there's 2 other (less good imo) stances.

For machetes- and many other weapons. There is NO other choice than the one crap one we have. OFC I'm more talking about usability than "real world common sense" that doesn't really apply in this game. Point stands though.

[Ryddem]

Oh and i also got something to say on this topic.

 

For people wo have seen my post i know that i'm a bit repetetive but please bare with me!

So i usually play full melee and i actually love te stances in this game but there is some stances that in my opinion is rendered useless because of 1(or more) garbage move.

Like the crossing snake stance, you always execute one of the combos because it contains the forward button and and this single move just breaks the flow and hijacks your movement to lash out in slomo i think you all know what move i speak of namely Lacerating Leap. 

If it wasnt for this move i would actually like to use the crossing-snakes stance seeing that it's the only other dualsword stance in the game!

you guys don't seem to understand that i'm not doing this to complain i'm doing this to have some fun and laugh about how half this stuff would never work in the real world.

Let's be honest here, noone uses machetes and I personally have given up on them being updated, secondly gaias tragedy is pretty good, 14hit combo on a tekko with crit build, dear god nothing survives, and again lets just throw realism out the window with this game.

[Roboplus]

I'd love to see the first punch sped up to be more realistic, and useful.

I hate every stance with a slow first attack.

We do.

Many would love to see these stances changed as well.

Previously however this sentiment/idea was used as a reason to remove a mechanic(s) many loved and as such you might prepare to get serious responses
