double strike is doing both first strike and normal damage. So it hits twice. 2/1 double strike vs. 2/4 the 2/1 will kill the 2/4 but the 2/4 will also kill the 2/1. 2/1 deals its first strike damage to the 2/4. Then he does another 2 damage during normal combat damage. Thus dealing 4 damage to the 2/4.

okay what if it hits a player? does it deal both damages? first and second? like if a 2/1 has double strike does it do 4 to a player?

What if a 4/4 with double strike is battling a, lets say 3/4. It would kill the 3/4, then would it go on to do 4 damage to that player's life?
