    Death from above

    I watched vids of people using DFA by simply running up to an enemy, jumping, then using DFA mid jump. I have only managed this once, and it has failed at least a dozen times now. Was this skill "fixed" so that you can't jump and activate it anymore? There are so few opportunities to use it, that if I can't use it in this fashion, it's a wasted skill point early on. I grabbed it early because a youtuber stated it was a great way to get big experience for kills, and had a vid showing him running around doing DFA to everyone.

    Is there a trick? Was it fixed?

    I use this skill from rooftops and there are plenty around
    You need to have an amazingly fast system/keyboard to make this happen - wouldn't work on my box!

    I know that's what it was originally meant for.

    Here is the vid....

    Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I don't believe you need to do anything. Just jump down from any roof or platform and Jason automatically pulls out his knife and stabs the person below. Took me a while to figure this out actually. I was pushing the Meelee button when jumping down .... and it always worked (seemed laggy though), but one day I missed the meelee button when jumping sideways off the steps on a platform and Jason completed the knife sequence by himself. Thought ... well this is kinda cool! ...

    Hint ... every time you get above the bad guys, all you gotta do is jump down on them and the sequence plays out automatically.
