Hi
last week I replayed SS2 after a long time, and this time I got the upgrade "overhead strike". Never had this before. Now I noticed that the animation didnt change, nor did the issues with melee in close corners where you have a hard time to hit anything else besides walls.
Is there some (hidden?) way you can take advantage of this upgrade I maybe dont know of?

Animation didn't change? You sure you're pressing and holding the attack button?

Someone's smacking his forehead just now.

To be fair, it isn't mentioned anywhere in the manual or game how to do that.
Or at least it wasn't when I asked this question.

A quick check confirms this. From the manual:
"Smasher: You are able to execute overhand (sic!) attacks with melee weapons."

No kidding.
Now where's the part where it actually says how to do it?
( I can save you some legwork and tell you it dosen't exist, if you want. )

Does this attack more damage btw?
Every time I had this attack, my stats were already pumped up so that a normal hit was enough to kill the standard pipe and shotgun hybrids and I couldn't see a difference^^.

Yes. I can't recall how much more, but there is an increase.

Why would it exist if it didn't?
