Tournament Chat

[fast oracle]

exactly

[short tartan]

remember to have the balance mod active!

[fast oracle]

true

[gilded spindle]

It is

[short tartan]

@jagged flume are we using the new rc?

[gilded spindle]

I doubt it

[fast oracle]

yes but I'll try to use competitive ships instead of fun worse ships

[gilded spindle]

Yea

[sharp bane]

I played them too much

But

It would be funny with fog of war

[upbeat ridge]

this is why i use small reactor ships

[sharp bane]

the problem is they either boom win in an instant or fizzle lose in an instant

i've yet to do the resctorpike into dispodable rail sniper combo effectively in a tournament

have done in casual spars and yes it is very effevtive against everybship type

bur very rng and positioning dependent

[fast oracle]

ugh another version of the mod?

[gilded spindle]

yep

[sharp bane]

And my positioning is uh, not the best at the best of times

[surreal pecan]

Alriiighty when is this starting.

[sharp bane]

Somewhen

[fast oracle]

@left kestrel use this channel instead.

saris will send a message soon and it will start

[sharp bane]

Come join me chop parsnips while you wait

[surreal pecan]

Good for me if it drags I could paint some more of my potential tourney ships :>

[fast oracle]

soon is hopefully in the next 10-20m

[surreal pecan]

Sneaky 👀

[sharp bane]

No chainguns in sighy

[short tartan]

i dont see it

[short tartan]

might see one from me

[left kestrel]

is the tourney being streamed?

[short tartan]

it will be when it starts

[fast oracle]

yes

https://www.youtube.com/@SarisWinterwisp

[short tartan]

it starts soon™️

[fast oracle]

it will be streamed there

[magic shoal]

Where can I stream the tournament

[surreal pecan]

One can't stream the tournament, the tournament host Saris will handle that.

[fast oracle]

watch it?

i'd suggest you to avoid recording software while playing because it probably will make the match laggy

[surreal pecan]

In the worst case scenario it'd crash.

[left kestrel]

where can someone not playing watch the matches?

Sari's youtube?

[fast oracle]

on that youtube channel

yes

[surreal pecan]

Yes, and anytime

[left kestrel]

thanks

[fast oracle]

you can see past tournaments there too

[short tartan]

i will be back in 20 minutes, suprise thing sorry

[upbeat ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/garfield-running-exercise-jogging-gif-5952319

you asf

[short tartan]

nevermind

still here

my mom wanted me to go pick up my sister in the car im not allowed to drive. she is screaming at me.

[upbeat ridge]

oh

[short tartan]

she is going to pick my sister up.

[surreal pecan]

I don't think we need to know all your life details but sure.

[short tartan]

sorry

stressed

[surreal pecan]

No nothing.

[pliant edge]

You have my sympathies.

[short tartan]

my family is as mentally stable as me 🙃

[surreal pecan]

...Now call me a mod hater, but I think that the lack of participants is caused by the fact that this tournament includes a mod.

Which is fair, you can't force everybody to download (and learn the mechanics of) a mod just to participate in a tournament.

[gilded spindle]

yep

ah

I was late

[gilded spindle]

Yeah, mods generally push people away even if the changes are marginal

[surreal pecan]

And also in my opinion, for a Cosmo tournament to be a solid and long-running event it needs a minimum of 16 members. Unfortunately that wasn't possible in this tourney 😔

[surreal pecan]

True.

[fast oracle]

we're just 11

[surreal pecan]

It changes up a supremely tested game and requires it to be re-learned from a non-fundemental, but still significantly lower level.

[surreal pecan]

Yes, only 11 😔

[gilded spindle]

That's fine

it means we can do best of three maybe?

[surreal pecan]

12 if Blade 690 was here.

[sharp bane]

yea but testing the rebalance is worth slightly less full tournaments

it's more important for the long term health of the competitive community

[short tartan]

agreed

[surreal pecan]

Hey should I really be painting ships right now instead of prepping for tourney? :>>>

[short tartan]

no

[surreal pecan]

Yeah I agree.

[surreal pecan]

It was a joke question

But still it's funny.

My cyan boi is turning out hot (or cold because it's moreso a cold color)

[sharp bane]

Can I bake my parsnip before the tourney starts :agony:

I eill not be testing this theory today

[short tartan]

ah oops mb

[sharp bane]

will wait until brackets announced at least

[odd zealot]

Oh torney is now.

[gilded spindle]

parsnip baking comes before tournament

[granite river]

set up some speedrun.com splits as encouragement

[fast oracle]

saris 🥺

[left kestrel]

.....whats the hold up her

here

[short tartan]

its early af for him

like 7am

[left kestrel]

....he scheduled it

[surreal pecan]

Yes.

Exactly the opposite of my time frame.

[short tartan]

saris should move the official start time to 7:30 pst so it starts on time more often

[silk flint]

gimme tourney, gimme your blood to watch flow

[sharp bane]

As a uni studeny and a european I'd prefer late night nowadays tbh but what time would thst be for asia and oceania

[upbeat ridge]

almost midnight for southeast asia

[gilded spindle]

Saris is 25 minutes late

[left kestrel]

alright... done sitting here waiting on the dude that scheduled it.... what a waste of time

[silk flint]

wow

[young jacinth]

Well the main goal isnt to attract new players

[silk flint]

i mean, it's true it's not just a stream, it's an event that needs its participants presents, but damn

[gilded spindle]

Yes it is

The secondry goal is to test the mod

[short tartan]

@jagged flume ???

[jagged flume]

Technical difficulties love you guys. There waa apparently a power surge at some point while I slept

[short tartan]

oh ok

[silk flint]

oh wow

[surreal pecan]

RIP

[short tartan]

that sucks

[pliant edge]

Ah, power and internet issues. Always a pain and always at the worst times.

[gilded spindle]

Wouldn't be a cosmoteer tournament without some kind of technical difficuties

[short tartan]

sorry for assuming incompetence

wait

oops

im appologizing too much

[jagged flume]

Hmm, only twelve participants. Would it be preferable to just push it to next week again for a better start time?

[surreal pecan]

Nooo saris is back for real I won't have time to finish painting my tourney ship 🥹

[surreal pecan]

Oh.

Also blaze left

So 11

[short tartan]

yeah

[jagged flume]

Air is present

[surreal pecan]

Ahh

[short tartan]

and chesnarkoff maybe

i would rather play today than next week

[sharp bane]

same

[young jacinth]

Then well have 20 again next week

[surreal pecan]

Yeah me too.

[gilded spindle]

I would much prefer today

[jagged flume]

...You guys are saying this stuff like you won't be present for next week lol

[short tartan]

maybe do a quick poll?

[pliant edge]

Can case in point that: If it gets pushed to next week, 50/50 on me joining for both better and worse. (There's a thing that might or might not pull me away then, which is largely why I never signed up thus far.)

[jagged flume]

Its been unanimously "today" thus far Rift 💀

[surreal pecan]

Could we just host it today and end this?
We don't even have 16 members.

[sharp bane]

saying this as someone who has already cancelled events todsy for the tournament and would rather do it now than have to cancel more things next week

[jagged flume]

Gotcha, gotcha

[gilded spindle]

Would we not just do it all today?

[jagged flume]

Eh?

[surreal pecan]

^

I don't think it'll be any more than 4 hours to be fair.

Or we could do a BO3 double elimination throughout two days.

Not sure, just a thought.

[sharp bane]

this doesn't feel serious enough to warrant bo3 double elim to me (I am biased, saying this as someone who is joining for fun)

[jagged flume]

Yknow back in the day it was the norm not the exception to be an hour late

Fate just wanted to uphold tradition

[short tartan]

horrifying

[surreal pecan]

Have fun Eno!

[gilded spindle]

IVI going for his tournament standard coffee break the second it was time for the tournament

[silk flint]

i have seen my fair share of reassembly tournament stream start 30 minutes in advance and the tournament itself 30 minutes late due to technical difficulties

[jagged flume]

Reassembly is a funny case because you don't need the players

[silk flint]

i know

[short tartan]

so i take it we are playing today?

[silk flint]

and that makes it both better and worse for technical difficulties

[jagged flume]

Yeah working on it

[short tartan]

alr

[silk flint]

i came to watch a tournament

[surreal pecan]

Nice.

[short tartan]

we are starting soon if u still want to play

[surreal pecan]

I might have enough time to finish painting my boi

awkward silence

[jagged flume]

I can only stare at my computer so much

[surreal pecan]

No not talking about you saris.

[short tartan]

chat went dead cause we are full of anticipation and have nothing to talk about

[sharp bane]

Or are baking turnips

[short tartan]

that 2

[sharp bane]

In a lot of chili sauce

[short tartan]

aka the correct way

[surreal pecan]

I love the Tournament chat talking about all things tournament-related ^-^

Joking of course.

[sharp bane]

Truely

[surreal pecan]

Wish I knew how to cook properly 😔

Oh also even with this much spare time on hand I'm not sure if I'll be finishing my ships I started but couldn't end T-T

Thanks obsession with tesla coils you really helped me prepare for the tournament better.

[jagged flume]

Everybody has 0.5.2 right go download it if not

We're not using the RC either

[surreal pecan]

I do have it downloaded, fortunately I'm not that forgetful.

[fast oracle]

i had 5.1

[surreal pecan]

Rip could you imagine if you tried playing with it.

[jagged flume]

@sonic flame and @short tartan are up first, password is omega

[surreal pecan]

#tournament-announcements message Yay ^v^

[jagged flume]

@sonic flame where you at bruv

Apparently Air is also not attending

@young jacinth and @sterile flame are you guys here?

Demon eye isn't

[sterile flame]

yeah

[young jacinth]

Yes

[jagged flume]

Ok you guys are up first instead

[surreal pecan]

From 12 to 10 as if this was a stacked tournament already 🥹

[upbeat ridge]

🔥

[short tartan]

oh I'm gonna go up again Nick if I win r1

[upbeat ridge]

arent you up like right now

[short tartan]

nope

demon eye is mia

[fast oracle]

rift vs me on the finals, i see it

[short tartan]

not gonna happen lol

actually no

it's gonna happen

[upbeat ridge]

manifesting it happens

all the experts lose in huge upsets and rift wins somehow

[short tartan]

if demon eye doesn't show up my first round is against Nick oh no

it's gonna happen

[upbeat ridge]

well at least it's not slowking lmao

[fast oracle]

you can win against nick i believe in you

[short tartan]

I'm gonna play a ship that nobody's ever see before

[surreal pecan]

You and Slowking are fairly evenly matched if anything.

[upbeat ridge]

i can say we've fought a few times, and ehhh that's why i'm 'fraid

[gilded spindle]

Why would you be afraid of me

I am out of practice

[upbeat ridge]

well so am i

[jagged flume]

@left kestrel vs @upbeat ridge up next!

[gilded spindle]

have fun

ches might not show up

[jagged flume]

He was here just a second ago

[upbeat ridge]

cerulean

[jagged flume]

omega

[gilded spindle]

^

[fast oracle]

F

[young jacinth]

RIP

[surreal pecan]

@sterile flame The thing that makes Fossil relatively good against other missile orbiters, aside from the pretty minute PD is the fact that it goes backwards and allows all the missiles to line up at the armor head that can tank a lot.

[jagged flume]

@mossy laurel you then

[gilded spindle]

wrong me

but sure

[upbeat ridge]

oh no i fight him already?

[jagged flume]

This is why I hate alts

[fast oracle]

wrong me lmao

[upbeat ridge]

prob account loss stuff

[forest cedar]

My apt’s wifi went out :I i cant join the tourney i think

[short tartan]

damm

[fast oracle]

awwwwwwwwwwww

[vocal cloak]

this tourney is going well

[fast oracle]

yeah

[forest cedar]

Yup

[surreal pecan]

12 people and 33% of them are just gone.

[upbeat ridge]

unfortunate

[jagged flume]

We can put you off for a very long time Erin

I mean you were at the bottom already

[short tartan]

how long are we going to give demon eye?

[sterile flame]

this ship wasn't really designed for mirrors.I was focusing on ions and deck cannons.

[fast oracle]

@sonic flame

[short tartan]

mines are going to be like nukes in the way that you want to place them at the front of the enemies ship

[fast oracle]

?

[short tartan]

as in you want to launch them when decently close

[hollow socket]

Quite a tournament so far

[upbeat ridge]

see this is why i hate kiters

[short tartan]

agreed

[fast oracle]

kites awful

[jagged flume]

Hey, this is a tournament it's about winning first and foremost

[fast oracle]

yes

[short tartan]

yup

[upbeat ridge]

this is why i didn't want t) p|ay this tourney rift

[short tartan]

you still have a chance

[gilded spindle]

you beat the cancer with hypercancer

you know this

[sharp bane]

Wasn't the strat vs kiters to stall for 8 minutes?

[fast oracle]

rift vs nick?

or who

[surreal pecan]

Eno vs erin?

Or eno vs you

[upbeat ridge]

yeah but i can't quite do that now can i

[hollow socket]

The best way to kill a kite, is with a big railfan that has 8 accelerators

[jagged flume]

@surreal pecan vs @short tartan then

[gilded spindle]

what if they have a rammer

[fast oracle]

yeah rift vs nick

[hollow socket]

Tbs

[fast oracle]

good luck to both :D

[gilded spindle]

Not enough firepower then

[hollow socket]

Then cut budget from thrust

[desert sky]

oh that really sad so many people left while the tourney bearly started

[fast oracle]

yes :(

[jagged flume]

@surreal pecan waiting on you

[surreal pecan]

OHH Boi

Sorry I carried away painting

[forest cedar]

Have fun

[surreal pecan]

1 min please lemme save my ship.

Thanks erin

[fast oracle]

lmao

[hollow socket]

We need to give nick another 5 minutes so he can finish up

[jagged flume]

Heh, I'd rather not

[fast oracle]

the tourney turns into watching nick paint

[forest cedar]

Yeah i hate to hold up the tourney but i couldnt expect my apt’s wifi would go out :(

[jagged flume]

Things working yet for you Erin

[forest cedar]

No

[jagged flume]

You're not holding things up

Yet anyway

[silk flint]

XDDD

[surreal pecan]

Done

[fast oracle]

we are giving you some time to join erin

[vocal cloak]

[fast oracle]

[silk flint]

not enough paint, more paint

[jagged flume]

Yes, if you'll stick around

[forest cedar]

wifi is back up

lets hope it stays up

[fast oracle]

yay

[sharp bane]

[fast oracle]

awesome shot rift

[vocal cloak]

ok now it makes no sense for me to join

[jagged flume]

You can still join

[vocal cloak]

where would i fit in bracket?

[gilded spindle]

with erin?

[vocal cloak]

enoshade vs erin right?

[gilded spindle]

yea

[young jacinth]

Against luna?

[desert sky]

congrats rift!

you won against a champion

[vocal cloak]

i guess

yea sure i will join saris

[young jacinth]

@short tartan your so scared of the mines. Its okay to run into a few so you dont hav to fly in an disadvantages way

[forest cedar]

i mean she has basically won by now

[upbeat ridge]

tokd you guys we all manifested it

[fast oracle]

still not over

if nick wins that i'll be sad

[young jacinth]

No love for nick

[upbeat ridge]

#boycott

[surreal pecan]

:(

[forest cedar]

lmao

[fast oracle]

no love for clutch

[surreal pecan]

Welp rift did great.

[desert sky]

well it's bo3 anyway, if nick win there still a chance for rift

[young jacinth]

Why is he in chat xD

[short tartan]

incredible

[upbeat ridge]

mans not gonna do jack squat

[desert sky]

cos the match is over for them

[jagged flume]

Erin you got it working?

[fast oracle]

yes

[surreal pecan]

At that point I was just stumbling upon trying to save all my unfinished protypes so I really wasn't in tourney preparation.

It was real fun though, and that's why I'm here :)

[fast oracle]

@forest cedar

they fixed it

[upbeat ridge]

he?

[young jacinth]

I know thats the joke...

[desert sky]

sorry i have no humour

[fast oracle]

oh, didn't know

[short tartan]

I wast expecting that

[fast oracle]

awesome

[upbeat ridge]

like-minded individuals we are

[jagged flume]

@forest cedar where you aaat

[upbeat ridge]

just a heads up <3

[forest cedar]

Sorry

Wifi got fixed, now my computer is acting up

[short tartan]

damm

[forest cedar]

Gonna restart my laptop, it’ll be quick

[fast oracle]

👀

don't feel pressured at all

[short tartan]

yeah, my ship can be fragile and nicks fossil lives on outlive out last so I didn't want to spend health

[forest cedar]

alright i got it working

[surreal pecan]

Fossil Backnuke was a mistake.

[jagged flume]

@sharp bane ya there

[fast oracle]

this tourney............

[hollow socket]

Certainly is the tournament ever

[upbeat ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/pomni-stare-the-amazing-digital-circus-huh-what-gif-14848454493863729355

[fast oracle]

i think enoshade joined

[sharp bane]

yea was saris asking on stream?

I can't listen there

joined as soon as pinged

[pliant edge]

Deck cannon changes probably not surviving makes me sad. Figuring out how and whether to pair factory adjacency bonii to make 5 or 4 factories to feed two deck cannons was a fun challenge.

[jagged flume]

They'll likely be implemented in a fashion that you just need a radar for the buff, but will have vanilla cannons otherwise

[fast oracle]

that would be cool

[pliant edge]

The real thing for that is the slower fire rate nerf Since slower fire rate leads into smaller factory requirements and lower crew counts.

[fast oracle]

erin should win because ions

[surreal pecan]

Could we see updated bracket?

[fast oracle]

yes please

[gilded spindle]

very cool

[short tartan]

I only gotta win 3 more times to be a champion

well 3 matches

[young jacinth]

Good luck!

[short tartan]

I might need it

[young jacinth]

xD

[fast oracle]

against plaus and against probably slow

you'll need it xd

[young jacinth]

You should be more confident

[sonic flame]

ah crap i slept

[surreal pecan]

Toomucherin more like toomuchlag ;~;

[fast oracle]

F

[jagged flume]

I can fit you back into a loser bracket section DemonEye

[vocal cloak]

new bracket me vs demoneye

[upbeat ridge]

no harm intended this opportunity is too good to pass up (meme not image)

[sonic flame]

gonna check where the tournament is (if anywhere)

[short tartan]

you got knocked out r1 cause u now showed fyi

wait no

[fast oracle]

oh god 20+mins of pain

[short tartan]

missed prev convo

[sonic flame]

actually i think i did

just in a non-complete disqualification

[short tartan]

I meant no showed but it was still right lol

[fast oracle]

oh enoshade will win

[upbeat ridge]

huh

[granite river]

rip rock

[fast oracle]

ye

yeah without front armor?

impossible

[upbeat ridge]

consider enoshade basically being rusty af

[short tartan]

I think I know what I'm going to run

[fast oracle]

erin wins?

[young jacinth]

Against me?

Scary

[short tartan]

yes.

[fast oracle]

yeah F

[short tartan]

you should be, I'm very scary :3

[granite river]

F

[desert sky]

no eno win

[short tartan]

F

[fast oracle]

front armor was too important

[vocal cloak]

reactor bomb

[upbeat ridge]

oof gg

[short tartan]

nah

[sonic flame]

..were mods stored in appdata?

[short tartan]

don't have one (yet)

[jagged flume]

@fast oracle vs @sharp bane now

[fast oracle]

C:\Users\USER\Saved Games\Cosmoteer\COSMO_ID\Mods

[fast oracle]

omw

[sonic flame]

o, saved games
easily forgettable folder 😅

[jagged flume]

Bracket currently

[upbeat ridge]

anyone has the- forget i asked

[vocal cloak]

can i still join or no?

[gilded spindle]

bracket

[jagged flume]

DemoneEye and Kine are both now in the bracket

[vocal cloak]

ok

nice

[short tartan]

is it losers bracket next or am I up next?

[gilded spindle]

no idea

what I just clicked

but its gone now

[upbeat ridge]

lmao eno

[desert sky]

spoil

[granite river]

stream lag 🗿

[gilded spindle]

wow

[granite river]

Jesus

[gilded spindle]

pike W

[upbeat ridge]

pike w

[surreal pecan]

@sharp bane Add sensor on your dementer alpha please.

[granite river]

Wow, not even any further elaboration just boom

[upbeat ridge]

eno wins the whole tournament

no match can top that

[surreal pecan]

Lmao yes.

It was INSANE

[upbeat ridge]

i just bring what i have now

the enoshade grindset

[fast oracle]

IONS

[granite river]

Wow, flashbacks to my match with luna lmfao

[desert sky]

see that the reason i left pvp

[upbeat ridge]

gg

[jagged flume]

@short tartan vs @young jacinth now

[sharp bane]

:D had that wedge but it got messed up by losing parts to ion damage

very wp luna!!

fun matches all.

[upbeat ridge]

we're doing the winners/losets thing again?

[surreal pecan]

You did great Eno, I adored the wacky combo FINALLY working out.

[granite river]

"Plaus, known as Plaus"
-Saris

[upbeat ridge]

waiting for the day i get namedropped like 5 times

(for names)

very traditional ul orbi railtrap

[sharp bane]

I was considering bringing the assymetrical trap pair again but thought that without being fitted with sensors and without the element of surprise it wouldn't work out

[surreal pecan]

Single frame knockout.

Wow

[upbeat ridge]

🔥

[granite river]

Ouch, that was brutal

[upbeat ridge]

spotter tactics

love to see it

[sharp bane]

OOF

I loved that

[jagged flume]

@gilded spindle vs @fast oracle

[short tartan]

I was very convinced of a railfan

[upbeat ridge]

last time i saw it i was in a dom game with saris

[sharp bane]

reminds me of a match I had in an early access tournament :D

[young jacinth]

He said that lol

[short tartan]

I panicked

[granite river]

Oof, that was rough

[upbeat ridge]

rip gg

cant do much about that

[granite river]

Do ultralights actually get countered that hard by cg alphas or did something else go horribly wrong

[young jacinth]

You can still win @short tartan !

[upbeat ridge]

considering nuke flings are possible, not on that soecific matchup

[young jacinth]

Yes countered

Oh yea right

[granite river]

Figures

[jagged flume]

Rift didn't know what the opponent was and didn't face their shields properly. If they'd seen their opponent it would have gone a lot better, and the shields maaay have survived the burst?

[upbeat ridge]

though still havily favored

[short tartan]

ik!

[young jacinth]

Ul nukers have good chances

[short tartan]

yeah

[granite river]

Makes sense

[jagged flume]

The thing is that you only need to last against the initial burst and your opponent has no sustain

[surreal pecan]

And that kids, is why you sensor ✨

[young jacinth]

But not when surprised without setup

[surreal pecan]

(To be fair they didn't save me)

[jagged flume]

@gilded spindle vs @fast oracle

Where you guys at

[short tartan]

was expecting a railfan so I panicked and had a skill issue

[upbeat ridge]

my newest ship has a sensor none of yall seen it before

[jagged flume]

Maybe Slowking and Lunastro are in a practice match?

[forest cedar]

Nope

[short tartan]

nope

[upbeat ridge]

nah

[forest cedar]

Names in lobby

[fast oracle]

omw

sorry

[jagged flume]

:[

[upbeat ridge]

slowk 🔥

[short tartan]

I was expecting rf 2x in a row so brain went from tank to PD

[surreal pecan]

nobody's there

Weeelp, more time for me to refine shippos 🔥

[forest cedar]

This tournament so far has been pure brainrot tbh

[short tartan]

I think I mindgamed myself @young jacinth

[gilded spindle]

sorry

[upbeat ridge]

https://youtu.be/5BZ462faARM

[gilded spindle]

here

[young jacinth]

Yea lol

[vocal cloak]

i have no clue how well my network will perform and i havent touched the game since september

yolo

[upbeat ridge]

that's just mindgames rift

[short tartan]

yeah

[jagged flume]

Kine download the mod and practice right now otherwise I'll make fun of you for losing

[short tartan]

but instead of scaring him I got him to switch ships

[forest cedar]

Stream is becoming a radio station

[vocal cloak]

got the mod already

[upbeat ridge]

saris actually not breaking character at all in the stream

[short tartan]

I could have won the 2nd match if I brought my snowpiercer

[upbeat ridge]

is the stream up

[forest cedar]

Ye

[sharp bane]

OH this is interesting

[upbeat ridge]

saris really out here "tsk tsk tsking" me

[surreal pecan]

Wow discord randomly crashed for me.

[sharp bane]

there is nothing scarier in fog of war than seeing an opponent spawn with 2 ships imo

[granite river]

Oh no the rock 🗿

[upbeat ridge]

gg

[granite river]

lmfaoo

[short tartan]

afterwards I'm gonna watch the stream through and dissect my matches

[worldly kiln]

10/10 start

[granite river]

I should not be laughing

[upbeat ridge]

KA GŌ ME[H]

[short tartan]

oof

[granite river]

Ouch

[worldly kiln]

damn

[sharp bane]

very similar shot to the one I hit luna with

[short tartan]

great shot from slowking

[sharp bane]

surprised the first two fans were too far to fire

[upbeat ridge]

railbopping

[surreal pecan]

Luna had terrible luck that match 😔

First rock, then nuke, then rail

[upbeat ridge]

devastating roid

[sharp bane]

rock nuke rail shoot

rock counters rail counters nuke counters rock

[upbeat ridge]

rock railfan nukers

[sharp bane]

cosmoteer-branded hand game which is nothing like rock paper scissors,.

woww nice flank gg

[granite river]

Jeez

Third eye is so cracked

[surreal pecan]

^^

It is INSANE

[upbeat ridge]

third eye is hard to counter

[sharp bane]

slowking being an utter menace this tourney

[surreal pecan]

That flanker gameplay was great.

[short tartan]

it's off meta in the best way possible

[upbeat ridge]

i have but one hope

[surreal pecan]

Luna's ship having near railproof armor on 75%+ of her ship was quite prepared vs it actually.

[short tartan]

bracket update?

[upbeat ridge]

not rly, it's one or the other

[sharp bane]

the chaingun ship I saw in tourney seemed very strong, but I have not researched or played as/vs chainguns yet

are they any good generally or just that matchup?

[forest cedar]

Theyre good generally

[short tartan]

it was cause I was both countered and panicked

but still awesome ships

oof

oof but in the other way

[sharp bane]

they seem utterly deadly vs anything exposed

are they just worse vs shields?

[pliant edge]

Ah, chainguns absolutely tearing through exposed systems.

[sharp bane]

I guess a bit like flak but actually focused on offense

[forest cedar]

Theyre pretty good against shields too

[sharp bane]

flak was always good at tearing up soft interiors too

[short tartan]

any burst is good against shields and CG is effectively just long burst

jumpnuke time

[fast oracle]

@jagged flume will we play the loser matches today

[short tartan]

wait no

[jagged flume]

Yeah probably

[short tartan]

I did warn about PD saris

[upbeat ridge]

oooof

[jagged flume]

Rift I'm going to become purturbed, I messaged Redstone to fix it four times do you want the logs

[upbeat ridge]

upsets again

[short tartan]

oh oops

didn't know that, mb saris

sorry

[upbeat ridge]

mirror, nice

[granite river]

lmao, trap mirror

bringing my popcorn 🍿

[upbeat ridge]

lmao

[short tartan]

great match

[worldly kiln]

nice

[surreal pecan]

Poor slowkie

[fast oracle]

nice plaus

slow was too slow

[upbeat ridge]

eh what can you do

slowk was managing the one saris eas focusing on tbh

no matter how you look at it that spinner is really hard to crack

[fast oracle]

slow should use my tool to balance that ship :)

[short tartan]

can use TB to slow the spin

rail projectiles should move faster

[upbeat ridge]

sarg- dodge point blank

i knew it i should have rebuilt tritave mk3

[jagged flume]

@sterile flame vs @sharp bane up first

We're doing the loser's bracket today since it's gone fast enough, Plaus and Slowking

[gilded spindle]

sure

[short tartan]

bracket?

wait I can go look lol

[surreal pecan]

Could we see bracket saris?

Now that loser's bracket is starting to be the one getting attention.

[vocal cloak]

oh we doing this 1 day?

[fast oracle]

yes

a bit inconvenient for me tbh but it's fine

[surreal pecan]

Yaay saris does a critic's rant now ^v^

[vocal cloak]

i hope i dont end up 6 am

[short tartan]

idk if I'm more afraid of toothless, enoshade or Juno

probably enoshade cause I haven't played against him that much

[surreal pecan]

@jagged flume fow range is 400

[upbeat ridge]

lmao

[surreal pecan]

800 with sensor

[gilded spindle]

Plaus is the final boss

[surreal pecan]

Ooooo me vs Nick, the rematch of the century!

*Vs Toomucherin

[short tartan]

lol

[gilded spindle]

you vs toomuchlag

[surreal pecan]

^

[gilded spindle]

if I meet them I'm so bringing the nuke orbi

or even better

a PD wall

tho that might be considered abusing a bug

[surreal pecan]

Hey that joke is mine #1020489415476396043 message

[fast oracle]

it's gonna be slow vs plaus again xd

[upbeat ridge]

[upbeat ridge]

[gilded spindle]

how so?

[upbeat ridge]

lag intentionally

👎

[sonic flame]

o

[gilded spindle]

its not intentional

[worldly kiln]

all is fair in the love of war

[surreal pecan]

.-.

[gilded spindle]

its just a fair usage of a perfectly allowed part

[forest cedar]

?

[surreal pecan]

Why'd you leak your builds.

[forest cedar]

^

[surreal pecan]

Previews are off.

[short tartan]

yeah

[fast oracle]

it's mind games

[worldly kiln]

[surreal pecan]

Oh-

That is... Wow.

[short tartan]

ah

[surreal pecan]

Actually kinda genious... Unless he is unironic.

[fast oracle]

he says sure sure, i'm just gonna use career ships

and it's actually przy in disguise

[upbeat ridge]

can't be

[fast oracle]

yeah /s

[surreal pecan]

The terket guy?

Nope.

[upbeat ridge]

been with the guy for too long, 0% chance of being przy

[surreal pecan]

He is no pryzjem.

[surreal pecan]

Me too.

He's just a funny guy who posts harmless memes in off topic every now and then.

[worldly kiln]

lmao, now this is pod racing

[upbeat ridge]

noone can learn polish in a lifetime after childhood

[surreal pecan]

AAAAAAAAAND he's unironic.

[granite river]

And he's not mean ^^

[short tartan]

yeah!

[surreal pecan]

I feel so bad for him 🥹

[granite river]

Poor demon eye

:|

[worldly kiln]

like a child fighing his drunken father

[upbeat ridge]

jar wtf

[fast oracle]

don't worry i still trust demoneye

[upbeat ridge]

thats even worse

[surreal pecan]

That was a brutal allegory

[upbeat ridge]

ant you can do this

[surreal pecan]

Yeah

[upbeat ridge]

youre gonna do this or i look at your DA again

[jagged flume]

@forest cedar vs @surreal pecan now

[surreal pecan]

Alright

[gilded spindle]

DA?

[forest cedar]

No second match for demons eye?

[short tartan]

he ff

[forest cedar]

Ah

[short tartan]

I assume

[upbeat ridge]

ah well it's not a cringe da at least

[short tartan]

good luck Nick and Erin

[sonic flame]

da abandoned at the moment

[upbeat ridge]

gl nick and erin

champion winner

[fast oracle]

i trust whoever uses ions better

[short tartan]

it's wild to see last months winner and runner up at the bottom of the losers bracket

[short tartan]

so Erin lol

[upbeat ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/vulture-looking-suspicious-gif-7273915

[granite river]

prediction: m i n e s

[fast oracle]

ions deserve the win because they are cooler

yeah nick will use mine shit

[sonic flame]

think none of my single-ions fired

[short tartan]

Luna and Erin are like the top 2 ion players imo

[fast oracle]

i mean you had them sideways

[fast oracle]

of this tournament? i agree

[granite river]

There's something comedically satisfying about mines exploding in an ion core but it's also pretty sad

[short tartan]

of all the people I've talked to

[upbeat ridge]

people forget i can actually pilot

[fast oracle]

you have too many ships, you are not an ion cultist, you are not one of us one of us one of us

[sonic flame]

i just forget reactors can sustain 350 ions on autofire + shields

[fast oracle]

10 per big one :)

[upbeat ridge]

i lost my ships wdym

[fast oracle]

really? :/

[upbeat ridge]

yep, back to square 1

[short tartan]

ouch

[worldly kiln]

F

[granite river]

Ooooof

[upbeat ridge]

at least i have nixos installed :)

gotta stop panicking when trying to recover my system lol

[fast oracle]

i have to go in 1h

:D

[sonic flame]

at least i had chicken

[upbeat ridge]

waiting for 1 hour rn

[gilded spindle]

cough skill issue

[short tartan]

I'm gonna get a quick thing of food

[fast oracle]

you'll kill me twice so it's fine

[upbeat ridge]

thr cheeky zoom lmso

[fast oracle]

erin avoidin

[vocal cloak]

Today on watching rocks

[granite river]

Any particular reason people are picking small shield avoiders instead of large shield ones, even though they're facing mirrors less often?

[short tartan]

food has been ate

[silk flint]

as i was saying in the stream chat, i made this

[short tartan]

maybe to deal with rails? idk

[granite river]

Large shields I've been told are better against rails so that doesn't make sense to me

Maybe it's different with the mod

[short tartan]

yeah

[fast oracle]

too many reactors but it's cool

[desert sky]

luna your weakpoint arent avoider it's traps

[fast oracle]

railtraps are very powerful yes

[desert sky]

comment outdated by the way

[fast oracle]

sion is fine against them

[silk flint]

i can't put good energy logistic, made it cramped

[fast oracle]

the thing is, ion tweaks good against most ships are awful against railtraps

nick has an extremely nick ship right there

double ammount of weapons and half the ammount of crew

[vocal cloak]

If only he used ai aim

[granite river]

literal opposite of air

[short tartan]

I hate ai aim, less control

[fast oracle]

it's weird i thought nick used ai always

[fast oracle]

it's useful but refusing to use manual control is weird too

[short tartan]

yeah

[fast oracle]

you have both options for a reason

[desert sky]

erin ion seem quite good, although unproven to me

[granite river]

lighter on armor -> yeah bad vs railtraps

[fast oracle]

erins ion is bad against railtraps

[short tartan]

Erin is great with high ER ions

ouch

[upbeat ridge]

decent

[desert sky]

what kind of railtrap

[fast oracle]

any decent one

[desert sky]

they outspeed me and i got scared for abit, although we only done a single match

[short tartan]

mines need a 2nd change, either more damage or smaller activation area

[jagged flume]

@upbeat ridge vs @sterile flame

[gilded spindle]

firework basically went off against my house

[surreal pecan]

Well, that was fun, GGs folks.

You earnt your well-deserved revenge @forest cedar 👍

[upbeat ridge]

cerulean

[gilded spindle]

[sterile flame]

its omega juno

[fast oracle]

wp erin

[granite river]

great match

[forest cedar]

Thanks :D

[short tartan]

wp erin

[forest cedar]

Wow

When i saw missiles i thought i was as good as dead

[granite river]

Yeah me too

[surreal pecan]

Blaster buff REALLY makes avoiders a whole another beast.

[short tartan]

great job Nick!

[surreal pecan]

They shred armor.

[surreal pecan]

Thanks!

[short tartan]

not practicing is a big nerf

so you did fantastic considering that

[fast oracle]

waaaaaaaa i have to go in 30m

[surreal pecan]

Welp, I tried my best.

The missile nerf shot fossil in the foo- I mean bone.

[short tartan]

lol

imo PD needs 1/3 fire rate and 4x damage

or maybe 1/2 and 3x

[fast oracle]

that was the idea yeah, but i think pd is good enough already

[surreal pecan]

I guess but it'd detract from its gimmick - very fast fire rate but extremely low damage, sort of a ''pecking'' weapon.

And make it more similar to flak.

[short tartan]

agreed but lag, and cause they aren't 100% accurate a fire rate nerf needs a bigger damage buff

[surreal pecan]

PD are atrocious vs missiles now ;-;

They had one niche, ONE NICHE, and it was tarnished.

[jagged flume]

Stop being melodramatic

[surreal pecan]

What, am I wrong? A veteran using pd wall losing vs adept using morbiter should not feel this one-sided.

And one sided on the MORBITER side at that.

[fast oracle]

it's not like missiles are op either

[surreal pecan]

I guess.

But like PD became much worse vs not only just missiles.

[young jacinth]

@surreal pecan why did you not ram your dc ship in the fight against erins avoider?

[short tartan]

this balance mod is still really raw remember, this is a test remember

[young jacinth]

Pd got buffed in my opinion

[forest cedar]

Its an avoider, it wont get rammed

[desert sky]

imo juno lack of side pds

[young jacinth]

Yes you you wouldnt have been able to dodge

Dc wins against avoider in the mod

[jagged flume]

Not necessarily, just need a touch of practice. I can do it pretty decently

[desert sky]

de-- what saris said

[jagged flume]

What people need to do is use large shield avoiders as they're OBJECTIVELY BETTER but no one does

[upbeat ridge]

oof linux issues

[surreal pecan]

Woah, how much the flak are struggling at dealing damage.

[upbeat ridge]

gonna try reconnecting now

[young jacinth]

I bet I could beat you

[granite river]

I wondered about that here especially with the blaster buff

[surreal pecan]

I mean Erin deomnstrated how good they are.

[young jacinth]

Respondet to wrong message

[surreal pecan]

FITE FITE FITE

Ooo ion match

[short tartan]

ion queen vs ion monarch

[surreal pecan]

F

[granite river]

Oo, interesting matchup

nevermind

[short tartan]

?

[surreal pecan]

One of the matches to be ever.

[short tartan]

oh

[granite river]

I wanna see how erin deals with luna's ship

It's the one I lost to in the last tourney

[desert sky]

poorly apparently lmao

erin is a great ion pilot, cant say the same for avoider (imao)

[granite river]

Erin destroyed me in an avoider mirror

I don't know that I agree lol

[surreal pecan]

Yeah erin flat out beat a missile+emp ship with a large shieldless avoider, I don't think I've seen even Saris do that.

To be fair blaster dps and missile nerf helps humungously, but still.

[jagged flume]

@sterile flame vs @short tartan

[desert sky]

the hard part of avoiders is being consistent imo

[surreal pecan]

ERIIIN you should've taken the same ship ;-;

[granite river]

Mm yeah

[jagged flume]

After this set the only matches left are the finals Lunastro, but you still have to leave, right?

[forest cedar]

Yeah :(

[forest cedar]

Hey

[icy oxide]

Me:

[forest cedar]

I consider myself pretty good at avoiders

[desert sky]

oh no offences please

[fast oracle]

i'll try to stay

[upbeat ridge]

y'all decent pilots

[fast oracle]

but it's tight

[forest cedar]

I was getting a phone call and i looked away and when i looked back i was getting rammed from behind
