Topman's weapon

[FCx]

Top spin is a great melee weapon!!

[Blueiscooltoo]

it's broken, I was on the quickman stage and I used the top spin weapon. Before I knew it, the match was over and it was like, 40 frags 1st place, 12 frags 2nd place. There was at least 20 people on the server.

Yeah, but that's just because most people don't know how stuff works yet.  Top Spin isn't that effective when your opponent actually knows you plan on using it.

This is true, eventually I had people gunning me down from a distance when I was the only one around. The Top Spin definitely works when your opponents don't see you coming.

Turn chasecam on before you use it and it won't spin the camera saving you confusion.

try your best to hide top spin when you have it in your possession. running around with the obvious gray color gives off (to experienced players), no one is going to try to get near you. being cornered/chased helps too. switch to top spin the moment someone is coming nearby

its powerful sure, but its -extremely- easy to counter

Two things...
1. Chasecam/third person view only works on servers that have SV_Cheats set to 1 (such as the story mode) and while spectating in Co-Op Spy mode in any given server.
2. You/the camera still spins.  ;P  This is hardcoded in to the game and the only way to prevent that is by turning in the opposite direction.  Which is easy enough to do provided you're any good with a mouse. ("Turn Left" gets disabled when using Top Spin, for obvious reasons.)

I dunno what the above posts are talking about, Top Spin is unbeatable!

...While Top Spin is my second favorite weapon in MM3 (3 guesses at my favorite based on the username) it wasn't THIS powerful.  It DID OHKO robots.  However...it didn't really OHKO Robot Masters, did it?  Even Shadow Man took multiple hits.

I know, but you don't spin. And a server without sv_cheats 1 is a bad server.

I want to Sakugarne everywhere!

i didnt want to start a whole thread, so i just want to do a tribute post here to this specific moment in the game:

you're using top spin, and you see someone else in that grey / dead yellow color combination, and your eyes lock. and you both stop for a second, and everything else going on just kind of fades out.

and then you run at each other.

Spinning is as futuristic as it can get!

Jousting of the FUTURE

i think of it more like those ninja duels, like in the ninja gaiden intro (probably)

Jousting of the future is:
Wave Burner and Wave Man's stage.
Unfortunately, I haven't coded Wave Burner yet, so this is impossible.
