Double hit to leg

Postby akupyro » Sat May 17, 2014 4:47 pm

Good afternoon or good morning depending on the time you read this. I tried to search the forums, but alas, my keyword magic foo in not strong in the force. So to the question. What does a double hit (2 solid hits in quick succession) to a leg constitute before they have a chance to take a leg/ kneel to show the hit? I know that hits to a dead leg are ignored, but I also know if you are kneeling on both, a shot to either goes to the good one (which ever it is). My thought was the second shot would go through as both legs are up, (such in a roll, lunge, etc) mainly due to not being able to show which is the good leg like the kneeling rule. Just wanted to get the general consensus of the community as what I think and what is the ruling can be a bit different. If I was not clear, please let me know, and thank you with this question in advance.

PS: If there is another thread on this already, can you link it? Search on the forum and Google did not offer any help at the time of posting. I know, it hates me.
I keep getting killed, but for some odd reason there is a respawn.

If you get hit twice to a leg before you can get to the ground, you are dead.

Yes, Cyric's answer is absolutely correct. This is one case where there is no regional interpretation of the rule. Two successive hits (of sufficient force) to a single leg before the target takes a knee equals death.
