Even matchups?
« on: July 29, 2012, 12:00:59 PM »
How come I get blasted out of the sky immediately? Doesn't the match up kind of put you in with someone at the same skill level?

It's not much fun getting disintegrated with darts, rubber bands, and everything before I even pick up a spitball.

I can't imagine it would be much fun for the other guy either.

(THIS CAPTCHA SUCKS,)

I do not understand some players they come right for me with no ammo just spit balls and I blast them out of the sky. First thing you go for is ammo then go the other guy. Also learn to weave and bob you can avoid some damage.

This seemed like as good a thread as any . . . .  Just played a good game in the Loop w/Sumo z, jtivat, & sussy 21.  This match-up was proof positive to me that the "winning" is not in the tibby at all, but the skill of the pilot & the plane they get good at.  Jeff is one of the very best (tibby) pilots around.  Sumo z & Sussy always use the bomber---which has a rep for being one of the worst planes---but they have mastered the bomber (like KS 32).  Our random game of 2 good tibbys & 2 good bombers all in a room together looked like this: pretty much equal all the way through, w/all of us having about the same # of lives at any given time.  It came down to a bomber & a tibby, & the bomber had the edge w/more health left when it suddenly crashed trying to rush through the cinder blocks too quickly to the middle to keep the tibby from healthing up.  As even of a match up as I've seen w/no special edge to anyone there.  At any given point up to the last minuet or so it was really anyone's game.

That was a fun game you and your new names I did not realize it was you! I watched after we hit head on! I thought Art had you, very good and fun game!
