So, sometimes when im on in the morning trying to get a server started and there are only a couple people (less that 6) we'll usually do melee on, cause it is a blast. i usually use soldier cause it's my natural class.

what is your favorite class to melee with and why. also is there a class that is best overall for melee. it would be a combination between attack damage, chance of getting crit, and health of that class.
 
I can play anyone on melee. My class of choice is Spy... 1-hit kills, Invis, DR makes it even easier as you gain... almost invulnerability, CnD can let you stand anywhere anytime . Nuff Said. I still kill other spy's as they can't outsmart me.

Scout has good speed and can dodge attacks easily. I still can stab them.

HWG has lots of health. I still stab them.

Engie, Demo and Medic have really good crit chances, every 2nd or 3rd strike, so its good choice too. I still kill them.

Sniper... can have a razorback, that's it. Still, I manage to stab them. Yes, I am that awesome.

Pyro? can't think of any advantages, low HP, not that high a crit chance. Also, GL to them if they didn't change to normal axe :D. They fall easily.

Soldier... lower speed, not that high a crit chance, every 3-5 hits... but more HP. Might be good. I pwn them.
 
I like whacking people with wrenches, no need to be melee only. I don't care if it's not as good as other melee weapons, it is just FUN.
 
Spy. Even if you aren't covert enough, when in a melee fight with someone else, you can stab frantically and hope that you get a backstab. Otherwise MIB2 said it all.
 
MIB, every regular melee weapon has the same damage, speed (except for the Bat and the Knife) and the same crit chance. Medics do not crit more often than soldiers. If anyone would crit more often, that would be the scout since he swings faster.

Disregarding the Knife and unlockable weapons like the Axtinguisher, I would say that the Heavy is the best melee class to choose. He's got a big amount of health and if you happen to use the KGB, you can get chain crit kills. Too bad the Heavy is so slow...

Heavy definatly. The ability to take a crit and keep kicking then just heal with sandvich makes him the best melee class.
 
Pyro with his flaregun and axetinguisher! And the heavy's bare knuckle taunt :D
 
Kukri is the only way to melee. Nothing I love more that chopping down scout, soldiers, spies and demos that come to visit me on 2Fort battlements. I'm sure they appreciate the warm welcome.
 
Pyro, good health + speed. And the Fireaxe is the best freaking melee weapon IMO.

But Spy taunt and DR is mega lolz.
 
Call me a spoilsport, but I refuse to do melee only if anyone on the other team is playing spy. One hit facestab spam kills, cloak, and disguises take the duke-it-out fun out of melee only for me.

I usually pick Medic for the foot speed and shear damage of the ubersaw (although sometimes I'll go to bonesaw for the speed as in melee only I don't need the ubercharge). If they're within range of my base, I'll use my Heavy Weaons Guy, barefisted. Again, (attack) speed and health.

Then again, I play pure WASD + 1 Melee Only. No sandviches, no ubers, no cloak, etc. You punch out all of the other guy's blood.
 
Scout because of the random lucky crits I seem to get alot from swinging at nothing.

P.S. It doesn't show medic, but Ubersaw HAS a better crit chance

This doesn't prove anything. So the dude was luckier with some weapons than with others. Yay. The percentages aren't even that different anyway.

This doesn't prove anything either. This chart doesn't say that the top weapons' crit chance is higher, it says that the weapons crited more often. Big difference. Obviously the Knife crits more often than the other melee weapons. The Wrench crits a lot, too because of the way the Engineer works. Your crit chance gets higher the more you people you kill and damage or heal. The Engineer does all three of this on a regular basis thanks to his buildables and uses the wrench a lot (more than the other classes use their melee), ergo the engineers crited more often.
Crit chance is the same for all melee weapons except for a specific few.
