Talk:Holy Mackerel
"Invertebrate"?
"Having one's health completely drained by an invertebrate is even more morally depleting" Fish are vertebrates. I'd change this, but then the sentence would not carry the same connotation. --Highlighter 03:17, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
- Whoops, biology fail on my part. Replacing with "ectotherm" (cold-blooded). Toomai Glittershine 03:20, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
So...
What does it actually DO, anyway? -- MistahFixIt 01:27, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
- Counts the amount of times you slap people with it. That is all. Balthazar 01:28, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

It is a Level 42 Fish, but I can't edit so I'm going to leave it up to the moderators. CANPoo 02:15, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Hum..
Yeah, the kill stacking thing has bugged a lot of stuff out side of tf2. It has bugged out mostly mods like HLXCE, and a few other plug ins out there for source mod. Maybe valve will change the way that the damage log is displayed or the events that it shows when the stacking happens.

Kill message
Every time you hit somebody with the Mackerel, a kill-message in the upper right corner is created or updated, confirming the humiliation of the victim being beaten with a fish. So first hit shows "attacker <mackerel icon> x1 victim" second hit shows "attacker <mackerel icon x2> victim" and so on... When the victim is killed the message looks like this: "attacker <mackerel icon> FISH KILL! victim>".El duderino 02:28, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
- Very fun to use. Anyway, a couple things. In Arena, since each hit displays a kill notification, it counts as a kill. Meaning if you are the first one to do damage it gives you first blood. Rhonlore 01:23, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
- Interesting. That arena bug sounds like something Valve might be patching up soon. ;-)-RJ 02:39, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
Damage
Is the damage right in that it's higher than the regular bat? I don't think that's right. Lems 00:01, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
Taunt
They should totally make this [1] the Holy Mackerel taunt.--Piippo 17:35, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
