I am playing v1.4 and I have noticed that I don't get the ultra-rapid sword play when I jump anymore... I used to jump and rapidly 'strike' and I could kill a chunneler (sp?) in one jump if I timed it right... now I get maybe 2 or 3 swings when I jump - nice... but nothing special... and I was wondering if there was a limit on the jump-kick with ninjutsu... I used to jump and do a multi-kick and kill a minotaur in one jump with about 10 kicks...

I know what you mean. i would beat the faces of any minatours and chunnelers into a pancake with my feet. Perhaps they saw it as a unfair advantage. Nevertheless, i still utilize this tactic and I get more than just 2 or 3 swings. i would say i got about 5 or 6 with a sword of death and my character's speed was 272. athough, i can still do the backward walk while swinging my sword up and down. i would use this when being followed by bees or bats.
i also noticed that my character would stun monters more often with his crushing blow skill at 8. i managed to beat down several fire drakes without having to use a single healing potion (i was using the fire ward celestial spell and each drake was killed on seperate occasions).

maybe my guy is too slow...

Actually, the super fast swing with jumps and backing up was a bug. Seems they fixed it. Can't speak for the kicking as I haven't tried a Ninjitsu character yet...

It was a bug that should have been left intact. It made killing those hordes of minotaurs a lot easier.

I am gonna miss that bug...
