Hello everyone, I have an unusual question but maybe I'm looking too hard into it. Does anyone know if Warthog's special has any special properties? It's just that practically every character has some sort of quirk to their moves. Here's a list I've made and tell me if you agree or disagree.
Crimson Fury = Longest range special and you can send it even further with a bit of turbo. This technique applies to virtually all specials.
Shadow = Can detonate. Has slight homing abilities. Direct contact bounces the enemy up and the damage is stronger compared to getting hit by the blast radius.
Mr. Grimm = A bit stronger than a power missile, need to hit with both pumpkins.
Spectre = Best homing but weakest special in the game.
Twister = Hits multiple enemies. Damage is twice as strong if you don't pick anyone up with the startup of the special (very subtle).
Warthog = Decent homing. Anything more?
Slam = You can hold the special before following through with it. You can and should use machine gun during the special. If you miss it creates a shockwave. 5 shockwaves is the equivalent to one grab.
Hammerhead = Gain super armour and speed. Weak unless you drop mines while on top. Can be VERY powerful.
Thumper = If you freeze someone, move up close and use it as they jump it can hit for better damage. One hit kills to the cpu some times!
Sweet Tooth = Can hit and kill yourself with it if you're not careful.
Outlaw = Keep tapping L2 to drain health. Does not break people out of freeze surprisingly.
Darkside = Super speed and armour. You can hit up to 4 times with just one special if you're careful. One of the most powerful specials in the game.
Mime = Get any special close by.
Axel = Between fire and homing for the first missile. Subsequent missiles have great homing ability. Hardly miss.
Trapper = 1 hit = 2 = 4 = 6. If the monkeys hit any walls or vehicles they split. If you throw this weapon into a wall the monkeys will track you and split once they hit you.
Piecemeal = Outlaw Hammerhead Darkside specials in inventory and other specials nearby.
I really enjoy using all of the vehicles but can't shake the feeling that there may be a better way to use Warthog's special ._.'
