Some of them, but many many more sailors than marines. But if Ernest has a āknife handā taunt I will crack up laughing and will not rest until i get it!(a knife hand is in the picture I posted here"

Exactly this!, and one other thing is to call someone ābootā or booter"(meaning fresh out of boot camp) total immersion in the military experience at that point.
Speaking as someone who knows next to nothing about military life, why exactly is the āknife handā so insulting or what does it mean?
@vutherac 's post helps a bit but im sure there is more to it than that.
closest analogy is the poking someone in the chest and talking down to them, knife handing is use by Drill sergeants because theyāre actually not supposed to point or do the chest poke because it could be taken as a threatening action so the knife hand is used instead.(thatās what I was told by a former navy version of a Drill sergeant and it makes sense)
itās used almost like youāre in bootcamp again, when youāre told you know nothing and are worthless until they make you worth something. but along with that goes a phrase ābootā or ābooterā which is another way of saying someone is just blindly walking around without the ability to think(fresh out of bootcamp I ended up spending 20 minutes at subway deciding what I wanted because when I was in bootcamp I was so focused on cramming as much food as I could while I was allowed to eat that I didnāt think about taste)
edit* hereās a link of an army drill sergeant ācorrectingā a recruit. notice how his hand is while he is speaking and I donāt think there is any profanity but expect it just in case I missed it
which is why both those elements could make wonderful taunts

Thanks, very informative.
Military life would kick my ass so bloody hard.
Mad respect for all you brave troops out there, man, for real.
honestly itās all the mind, if you can stay calm you can do a lot more than you would think.
now if ernest calls benedict a āblue falconā I will fall off of my couch dying of laughter
language warning in the link it contains a little vulgarity

try this, have kleese set up a full rift network, ghalt puts a trap inside the network. then hooks ANY enemy into the trap. they will die haha
Wait?! So that was you?!
You scoundrel!!!
In all seriousness thoughā¦that happened to me and I had NO answer for it.
That was all kinda terrible.
lol, ghalt trap w priority target nd just watc hyourself dissapear
were you boldur by chance? thatās who me and a buddy tried it onā¦
Nope, I was kleese, they were in the perch on MY teamās side and I could not get them out while another person on my team hurled a string of curses at us that I assumed would resurrect the dead.
Yea, we lost
Well, if you guys dont mind, i updated my list. I have 200+ hrs now, and with more experience these are my most hated characters to play AGAINST.
- Ambra. She can do everything. Heal, push, waveclear, and that damn overshield. She is the most annoying female character in the game for me.
- Alani. Small hitspot, healing, stunning, etc. Some of the characters dont have these awesome skills, they are actually weaker than her. Every character has its role in the game, but some of the characters are just out of space a little bit.
- Ernest. He is GREAT. I really like Ernest! But 192 DMG for a normal attack? A lot of health? Horrendous Buffs? Just to remind you, Whiskey Foxtrotās SKILL grenade do 116 DMG. He can shoot through half of the stage to hit the sentryā¦
- El DragĆ³n. Smashing everything up, kill 1-2 characters, and runs away. Awesome.
- Boldur. He is not that bad in my opinion, but sometimes Boldur is really annoying, because the shield mechanic in this game is broken. You shoot him from the side, and its not working, because his shield is in FRONT of him.
- Caldarious. He is not the worst, but i hate to play against him. There is no disadvantage of this character.
- Thorn. Nope, just nope.
- Galilea. Press āEā to win. Such skill. She can do everything with one button!
Pendles. Jesus I rage at Pendles mire than anything else. And itās usually due to the Pendles taking out all the buildables when Iām the only one attempting to rebuild them or zone for him.
AMD I can never kill a good pendles.
Good Pendles with a sprint gear ruin matches for me.
With sprint gear, he can do a full circle of both sentries, remove all buildables, destroy a wave of enemies, and be home in time for breakfast.
Or you know, just chill around corners and jump you when you think itās safe to teleport back to base.
āAlright, Iām cleā¦ā. chishangslashshwish
JESUS JUMP SCARE!!
