Did I do it wrong?

Usually if you can get the shield out to the side, the second knife hit is an easy kill... but there was a big downtime between your swings

Everytime I melee a shield he shoots me a quarter second later. When I see other people do it, it seems like they struggle for a second or so. I'm not sure if I just get unlucky with lag or if I just do something wrong.

The best way is to hold the knife straight forward and stab instead of slashing with it ;)

Yeah. These knife animations are ridiculous. This is how you do it.

I seem to recall someone saying a high latency shield user will have this happen to them over and over. Another person I remember said that if you hit the side of the body with the shield it will still block. I don't know which one is true, but I have had the same thing happen to me, no idea why.

I wasn't meaning the attacker had a high ping, I was meaning the shield user (target). The theory is that it would drop his stance back to normal earlier to try and compensate for the lag. But as I said before I have no idea if it is correct.

Shoot him dammit!

Yeah you should have shot during the opening, I'm pretty sure that's the intended purpose of the shield-bash.

No you can easily double knife a shield guy. I think the other guy might have turned side ways just enough to block it each time, which is possible I think, even while being stunned. The shield is technically still there, it's just moved out of the way for a while, so if you turn while getting knifed the first time, you move the shield right in his FOV again.

Yep

The Pistolero is strong with this one.

I had this happen to me the other day as well it blows.

Timer ran out. That's why your knife didn't do anything.

If that would be the case he wouldn't have died afterwards ...

well i prefer to be able to aim and as you can see in the video you cant with a controller

Well that's you. There are more players then you can imagine that play solely on console and have no problems aiming. You can take that pc master race shit else where, it's not wanted or needed on this sub.

He is, albeit gruffly, a bit right though - aiming will of course be more precise with KB/M, and to more be the point, this situation wouldn't have happened on PC, simply because one of them would have been mowed down the moment they peeked.

r/KingTr011 is just being a bit absolute here, because controllers are fine if it's controller vs controller. However, everyone knows that a controller just doesn't live up to the accuracy of a mouse and someone playing with a controller would most likely lose significantly to players with a mouse and keyboard.

Lol you are delusional if you think that aiming with a mouse isn't a distinct advantage over aiming with a controller.

from what you are saying you have never played a game on anything but a console or ever had the ability to aim

Shoulda shot
I didn't trust using the pistol and I usually get the kill with a knife.
About half of all my kills are from a pistol according to the Rainbow6.com stats, when in doubt- trust the handgun
switching to your side-arm is quicker than reloading.
"knife the watermelon on the table"
Unless you sprint as soon as you swap to your handgun, resulting in you still having your empty main weapon out when you try to get the drop on someone.
Still should have shot him this time.
One of my favorite round wins I had 2 bullets left in my pistol mag, shield primary. 3 seconds to go, defuser on the opposite side of the map. The last defender walks out in front of me, trying to run out of the room. Bullet straight to the noggin put a stop to that nonsense.
