Hey, you found your way over here! Yeah, good game indeed! It was pretty close if I recall correctly. Welcome to the forums! :D

I just wish Quick Match would keep trying to find people instead of giving up after 10 or 15 seconds. And since I have such a low success rate trying to pick opponents manually, lately I've mostly been sitting in the lobby waiting for people to challenge me. Sometimes it takes a few minutes to get a match, and they're usually not the best players, but at least that way I can read crap online while I wait and not have to actively seek a match.

Back on topic, good games yesterday, feixaq. :) I also had a chance to play Schooly D for the first time. Since I was getting my ass kicked by Zaarock's Cypher over the weekend, I felt right at home.

Haha yeah good times last night. It was fun. I'm sure Schooly D likes to play you because you're the only one who is any challenge. We had a lotta folks drop by last night. Hello all.

I had one game last night where I managed to not let Schooly double perfect me. I feel very accomplished.

I decided to take my chances last night and fight a few Japanese generals. Needless to say, I got handed, but what really surprised me was their preference for Grys-Vok/Stein-Vok. I'm used to playing against hordes of Temjins, so this was quite refreshing, even if they did cut me to shreds. Any other Fei-Yen players out there?

I generally get my ass kicked in the last second of the round. Well as I am Fei-Yen. Fighting Cypher as Fei-Yen I sand no chance. -.-;

my 1:1 ratio is starting to slip towards 1:3 at an alarming rate >.<; I'm an ok Fei-Yen player. I usually play anyone around my rank but will always play anyone who challenges me. I get floored really fast by those higher ranked people ;_;. Kinda expected since i'm still so used to playin VOOM and forget things new features in VOOT like changing directions in dashes or quick steping (i think that's what it's called).

I actually try to challenge as many 5 star Generals as I can. I try to last as long as possible and throw out all the ammo I can. Then I steal their mojo by saving the replay and watching it.

Maybe once I've collected enough souls, I'll be able to win a few matches in Ranked. I'm at a pitiful 90:140 or something like that right now.

They might have just been using Quick Match. I don't think Quick Match cares about rank much, if at all.

I don't know can you do quick match in rank? Because there's no level in the player matches.

It doesn't bother me because I won't get better unless i get slaughtered repeatedly. Learn from your mistakes, right? What's weird that I noticed when I play is that I feel like I play better or at least I do more when I play against someone that puts me into a lot of pressure vs a round where we exchange fire back and forth. I'll still get owned on intensive rounds but it's something i can say "wow, that was actually fun!" I'm trying to stray away from fei-yen and play more rounds like that with raiden and grys-vok.

Oh I agree, winning all the time is boring. I'm just saying someone going intentionally for low levels is lame. Like in WoW level 80s ganking level 10s doesn't make the level 10 any better.

Heh Deltastrike and Dave trashed me a couple of times again. I think I could stand a chance against Specineff in general as long as I keep aware of the CW waves but I'm just confused as all hell with Bal. And there seems to be a variance in skill and playstyle with all the Bal players I've faced as well so I find it hard to develop a basic strategy.

Also played CrouchingLiger/NigelK420, twice I think. Once with Temjin and Specineff. The Temjin one was close but my Spec was just awful.

And it occurred to me that I haven't beat anyone here even ONCE! Haha, guess I deserve my 1:2 ratio.
