Neither requires skill and a pinger always wins in both versions . 1.9 just takes time to learn , but its a waste of potential. They couldve easily added spears , clubs shotswords etc

I like 1.9 PvP better
To say 1.9 requires more skill than 1.8 is false in my opinion as I was average in 1.8, while I'm (if I may say so) a skilled 1.9 PvP'er. The problem really is that you have to define 'skill'. I play Minecraft for around 5 years now, so you can say that I have a lot more 1.8 PvP game-time than 1.9 Still I'm better at 1.9 PvP. The thing is that they both need different kinds of skill. 1.8 PvP is more about agility and timing (that might seem strange with the 1.9 combat system requiring timing), while 1.9 is more about tactics. 1.8 you can't afford to back of for a sec and think about what you are going to do next, it requires a lot more of muscle memory and timing. In 1.9 however, you can back of for a second, think about your next move (like placing lava, using your bow, blocking with a shield etc.), making it a game about tactics.
I do have to admit that 1.9 has more depth to it. You have shields to block attacks (blocking with your sword in 1.8 was rather useless), you have food with different kinds of properties, axe vs sword the whole discussion what to do with your off-hand etc.
1.8 has some of those things like roding and lava/flint and steal, but the mechanics don't allow new players to experiment with them without being slaughtered.
The only thing I dislike about 1.9 PvP is eating. You can just eat a golden apple and be full health again, making overpowered, full diamond fights quite boring.
One final thing: An axe does more damage does NOT have a higher DPS (damage per second)!

Sorry but I disagree XD I love the 1.8.9 pvp system and I hate the 1.9 because of the delay in pvp. While this tests aim better i hat it cos I cant win XD
1.9 is better,
- Axes have a purpose
- Bows can actually be effective
- Strafing is more doable and effective making it more interesting instead of a spam click war
- I can pwn noobs that can't 1.9 xD
- Makes games such as SkyWars and EggWars not as knockback driven
- Hackers are not AS unkillable
- Critting now has a purpose
- Golden apples are useful now, used to be just eat one right before a fight now you can eat them mid fight (could be a con I guess)
- Where food is there is healing between fights, less killing someone at low hp
- TOverpowered gamemode's pvp can take REALLY long
- Strength II with fist is better than a normal diamond sword without it.
- More running away
- More time for a 1v1 to turn into a 1v1v1 on pvp game modes

sorry for necro in advance
I personally think they are around equal, but I do miss the action of 1.8 pvp. I still play it to this day over 1.9, but that's because 1.9 is so slow.
Pros for 1.8:
Much more skill required(in terms of rodding, potting, strafing, clicking, many more)
Fast paced and very satisfying when you get a nice combo on someone else
Axes aren't insanely OP
Pros for 1.9:
Less skill required, but in different areas, much more easy to pick up( Timing, using different weapons at different times, shields, bowing, etc.)
Better for a permanent system
Axes are actually useful now
1.9 would be so much better if they brought back the satisfying combos and fast pace that keeps me in 1.8 to this day imo

I used to care a lot about this idk why. Now i think its really silly and both are fantastic in their own ways
Personally, I don't have a favorite when it comes to the two systems, I like them both. However, I must say, I am liking the combat test snapshot a lot better than the two. The combat test snapshot combines the two combat systems and makes it work imo... you can spam click without your hits doing less damage, but you also have to time your attacks and weapons.
Btw, to all you saying in the comments that 1.9 is better than 1.8 and vice versa, that's not the case. Comparing 1.8 to 1.9 is basically comparing Hershey's to Reeses; sure they are both chocolate, but they both are unique from each other. The two combat systems have their own skill sets and gaps. 1.9 is more about timing your hits and being patient during battles while 1.8 is more about fast reactions and being able to hit first. The only flaw I can see in these two is that they are two different combat systems, which caused The Major Split. That's why I said that I prefer the combat test snapshot better than the two... because it has the best of both worlds.
