Eggbeater vs. Eggplant

Post by Vraidave »

Call it a flight of noobdom if you'd like, but they look the same to me..... On the Move Nickname list here on modified, it says one is an atomic Legover, and the other is an Illusioning Legover.... then it gives the Jobs notation, and they look the same, the only difference is on Eggplant it's Toe > Op out >> Op out and Eggbeater is Toe >> Op out > Op out... different >'s. What does this mean? Help a noob out! Is it just the uptime or downtime of the dex? I'm lost..

The >> defines where the bag peaks. So in a Eggbeater all dexes are done downtime. On Eggplant the first dex is done uptime.
It is called Eggplant because you plant the dexing leg after the first dex.
