Tournament Chat

[short tartan]

it's fun

[upbeat ridge]

it's more fun when you're not sleeping lol

[stone grove]

Lol thx coquito

[oblique apex]

i wanted you to win bro

[stone grove]

That match was so close

[oblique apex]

you were so close

[stone grove]

if it wernt for clouds,, would have been a lot more fun

[hollow socket]

I wonder if there will ever be a tournament set in classic cosmoteer

[oblique apex]

i hope so

[gilded spindle]

No classic servers are up, so that won't happen unless I want to give my IP up

[oblique apex]

lol

I could, i don't think nobody would bother coming to where i live

but thinking for the future it's not a good decision

[white apex]

just use hamachi

lan

[white apex]

autofire tournament lol

[surreal pecan]

Automatically people only use energy weapons 😔

Or mines I guess.

[hard rover]

hm maybe morbiters will work because ships are slower in gas nebulae

[white apex]

false

that was changed

[supple vapor]

I hate to say that in the gas they were even worse when the speed change was a thing 40ms and 3 years to turn was not it

[undone zinc]

Lmao why do all the tournaments Im able to play require me to build an entirely new ship or be at a disadvantage

[white apex]

new player without 5 trillion ships in the library \😔

[undone zinc]

I have a ships for my main strengths, but they don't sustain in an electron nebula or have sensors on them

[white apex]

why use sensors

just autofire if it's not a missile

[undone zinc]

Nebulas

I can't play tbr if I can't see anything

[white apex]

why play tb rail

just make a rail kite

maybe even frontal missile autofire

[undone zinc]

Tbr are the most fun

[undone zinc]

Why autofire

[white apex]

https://tenor.com/view/disgust-disgusting-puke-vomit-eww-gif-19262390

[white apex]

no sensor needed

[undone zinc]

HERESY

[undone zinc]

How

[white apex]

autofire

[undone zinc]

Missles can't see through a blue nebula as far as my extensive testing has shown

[white apex]

you don't need to see the other player

you just need to autfire in their direction

most boring tourney

[undone zinc]

What so missles track enemies in blue nebulas that you can't see??????

[white apex]

no

[undone zinc]

What are you going on about then

[white apex]

launch them into fog and pray

[undone zinc]

That's not a reliable strategy

[white apex]

true

[supple vapor]

@young jacinth would it be possible to move the tourney to Saturday instead of Friday?

[young jacinth]

sorry cant do that

[supple vapor]

alg thx just thought id ask

[young jacinth]

yea normally id be open in doing that but I got something planed

[surreal pecan]

-# (psst, because he's addicted)

[hard rover]

i'll just lay a trap or smtg

bring a small ship with sensors and look for th enemy, stay out of range once you find them and plan ahead

once you know where the enemy is it's pretty much over for them

[surreal pecan]

Thanks for sharing your entire gameplan, that makes you 10x easier to defeat.

[hard rover]

i was about to share my actual gameplan but dw i won't participate

[young jacinth]

@hot stirrup

[hot stirrup]

yo

[young jacinth]

you are up

[hot stirrup]

password is ?

[young jacinth]

blue

[undone zinc]

@young jacinth you set the stream name wrong

[young jacinth]

ups

@minor tapir

[hot stirrup]

@young jacinth with fog of war on we wouldn't be able to see anything at the beginning

[young jacinth]

@hot stirrup

[young jacinth]

ah that is smart ty

[white apex]

@young jacinth what does the theme mean

you need to use a rail orbiter?

[young jacinth]

You can ignore the theme

its just to set the mood

[white apex]

\👍

[snow seal]

NOOO

I'M BUSY

well i'm free from like 1-2 then busy for 2 hours

whats a rorbiter?

i might be able to change plans..

[young jacinth]

so you could if we did it earlier?

[snow seal]

oh well i would be on airport wifi

so probably not it's fine idm not playing

[young jacinth]

:(

Ill probably try to do more team tournaments anyways depending on how popular this one will be

[royal gust]

Is 1pm German time

Looks up time zones European Central time

[short tartan]

@young jacinth are there weapon bans for the 2v2 tournament?

[surreal pecan]

ban rail
ban rail

[hard rover]

lmao

[icy oxide]

Theme: ban rail

[hard rover]

lmao

[oblique apex]

Just ban Control Rooms smh

[surreal pecan]

Can only ban one type:>

[gilded spindle]

just ban doors smh

[hard rover]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3304789147 hey plaus can we tournament with this mod?

[oblique apex]

Ban your opponent from the tournament

Ban the host

[supple vapor]

you just blow up the crew and airlock them in

[white apex]

need to use mining laser so they don't die

[worldly kiln]

why not just ban corridors

[gilded spindle]

You can just use moving walkways instead

[young jacinth]

No

[short tartan]

alr

[royal gust]

How does one prepare for a 2v2 tournament?
After finding a partner is it just a matter of coordination, and practicing pvp while in voice chat

[white apex]

yeah pretty much

learn to coordinate

practice against other people

learn to not get in the way of each other

[short tartan]

make plans and specialized ships

also plan ship combinations

we are probably going to be seeing a lot of railfan orbiter + railfan orbiter

although there is some potential for other stuff

rail orbiters and rails in general are the expected ship choice

[short tartan]

double the ships double the strategies

[wispy hornet]

i want to play in the tourney, does anyone lack a teammate?

[hard rover]

cr wouldn't be active so you couldn't do that, you'd need to wait for rod and get lucky

[granite river]

counterpoint: rail

[desert sky]

I'm expecting everyone to blindly pick rail orbiters instead of trying to find a counter for them

Spoiler alert: Dual orbiter wall does counter them. You can replace one of the two railorbiters with a TB rail to always prevent one of the ships from being rammed

Point is, meta isn't solved and has already evolved

But it won't evolve if litterally nobody tries

[young jacinth]

Is that your assumption?

That would need very rigorous testing

Not sure if its true

[desert sky]

Based on Saris and Qawa performance last 2v2 tournament, yes.

[young jacinth]

Interesting. Not enough to make any conclusiins probably. Ill rewatch those matches lol

[surreal pecan]

I already have plan if I participate.

[hard rover]

same

(i copied nick's plan)

[oblique apex]

https://tenor.com/view/side-eye-dog-suspicious-look-suspicious-doubt-dog-doubt-gif-23680990

[upbeat ridge]

strategy, expected matchups and the like

have you seen zq and gaxxian's run in the previous 2v2 tourbey back in classic

[royal gust]

In the past but I don't remember the details

[snow seal]

i miss them 🥹

[granite river]

I unironically love this

Not biased at all in any way

[surreal pecan]

M yes the "full crewless is the only way to win" tourney.

[hazy brook]

we need a weaponless tourney

full on ramming contest

[hard rover]

the racing tournament exists

[upbeat ridge]

sumo contest lmao

aka mrt logistics tournament

[short tartan]

mrt + TB

[upbeat ridge]

yep

[young jacinth]

Planed for a very long time. I just had a lot of less tortures ideas before

[wispy hornet]

reactor kamikaze meta

might finally be playable!!!!

[upbeat ridge]

is ec a weapon

[white apex]

ec?

explosive charge

[supple vapor]

@gilded spindle is there going to be an official tourney this month or did the July one count as both months

[gilded spindle]

There will be one

[wispy hornet]

nvm sorry for pinging. im dumb

[oblique apex]

so, the tourney will be next week?

Saturday 31st if i remember correctly

[tame ruin]

Is the DC closed?

[snow seal]

like 10 hours left

https://discord.com/channels/314103695568666625/1059084974655033415

use that

[tame ruin]

Thanks

[upbeat ridge]

when i see a time in announcements i think of https://tenor.com/view/eggman-announcement-speech-sonic-the-hedgehog-report-gif-16600754

[lavish compass]

you got TWENTY FOUR HOURS BEFORE THE disabled imperium ships FALL on the atmosphere of the planet with their nuclear armaments still in there

[surreal pecan]

Imagine Alexander falling on Earth with its several hundred nukes of stockpile.

[desert hornet]

Tiny nukes though

[gilded spindle]

They're about 3m long, they're not tremendous but it'd be like a carpet bombing of the surface

[desert hornet]

And theyre fission bombs

[undone zinc]

Eh it'll be fine

boils off the oceans and burns up the atmosphere

[vague lotus]

I mean in a real life context this is rather concerning

[white apex]

wow crew is strong

[desert sky]

It's not about size though

The majority of little boy body size was composed of the mechanism used to ignite the nuclear reaction & prevent missfire.

[desert hornet]

20m boom radius is rather small

[white apex]

that's because it's in the space air

who knows what it'll do on planet air

[desert hornet]

Air is air

[tacit nacelle]

Are the official tournaments ever double elimination anymore?

[snow seal]

not since february 2023 i think

@wooden crystal ily xdxd

[upbeat ridge]

hopefully get optimized

[hard rover]

20m radius turns into 20km

[wooden crystal]

The tournament we won was double elimination? Wouldn’t know 🤷‍♀️ didn’t drop a set.

[snow seal]

wait no there were some after.. i think only by saris tho

[gilded spindle]

I hosted plenty of double elimination tournaments

[white apex]

wait @short tartan since when were u host

oh wait when u casted?

[vague lotus]

Have to drop our team out, sept 1 turns out to be the pride parade here and I am NOT missing the pride parade

[white apex]

have fun bceTransPride2

[hollow socket]

is there anyone available for a partner in the september tournament

[granite river]

Ping plaus in the sign up thread w that

Or I can

[vague lotus]

u :p

[hard rover]

@young jacinth hold on is the 1.5 mil (2v2 tournament) for both of us or each player?

[young jacinth]

each player

[surreal pecan]

A 10mil would be so much more fun with lower skill ceiling, but I know Plaus will just make a BEEG ion rammer so I don't care.

[desert hornet]

Rip everyone who has a toaster

[undone zinc]

Lmao

My poor potato

[supple vapor]

Anyone down to run some 2v2s in abt 3 ish hours? (me and j uki)

[hard rover]

problem: the in about 3 hours time is 5am my time

[surreal pecan]

Samsung smart fridge

[desert hornet]

Smart washingmachine

[hollow socket]

Can I sign up as a solo team?

[undone zinc]

Do you really want to micro 2 rorbiters against 2 players

[surreal pecan]

Beeg rail trap

[undone zinc]

Heavy railtrap Vs heavy railtrap

[desert sky]

I mean, I assume it would be easier than you might anticipate

[young jacinth]

Sure but maybe youll still find a teamate.
In case you do play alone you will have 3 mil but a 1.5 mil per ship cost restriction.
Also you could join my team if you wanna cast too...

[hollow socket]

well i've been unable to find anyone avaliable

[gilded spindle]

Sorry about the delay, school caught up to me so I'll give the tournament an additional week like last month.

[supple vapor]

@gilded spindle for the next tournament in the end of October could we try the reverse saris ship bans we discussed a couple weeks ago?

[white apex]

where discussion

[supple vapor]

Believe in excelsior gen

[gilded spindle]

If you can remind me then, sure thing

[desert sky]

Did saris banned ships with reverse thrusters?

I am reading this right?

[supple vapor]

No it’s just you ban your own ships instead of the opponents ships

In the same format as saris ship bans other than that

[hollow socket]

hmmm

[desert sky]

Ah sorry

[undone zinc]

I think I'm going to need to build something that isn't a tbr

[gilded spindle]

@short tartan please fix your sign up, I want it to be neat looking

Probably ocd of me, but consistency is nice

[short tartan]

thats not how ocd works

ocd is a breakdown of your brain telling you that a task is done

[tacit nacelle]

I think the announcement timestamp is wrong

[raven fern]

"Just Right OCD, or Perfectionism OCD, is a subtype that is characterized by obsessions about organization, perfection, or perfect feelings."

[hollow socket]

Hmmm

[hard rover]

tournament time

wait no

i'm 1 day early

fuck

[supple vapor]

Ikr I left the gym early bc I thought it was today for some reason

[undone zinc]

Lol

[hollow socket]

unlucky]

[upbeat ridge]

is there a tournament later

[gilded spindle]

yeah

about 2.5 hours from now

[desert sky]

Ah yes, the team tournament

I hope peoples will try things to counter railfan orbiters ^-^
I would have if I could participate °-°

[gilded spindle]

the easy way to counter rail orbiters is with rail orbiters

[gilded spindle]

You're right, It's an hour early I'll get to it

[desert sky]

But that's only a soft counter

[gilded spindle]

I suppose

[surreal pecan]

Oh, boy.

[gilded spindle]

When did the tournament go back 3 hours

Think I got hit by the mandela effect

[young jacinth]

Maybe you thought of the one in 2 weeks

[gilded spindle]

Probably, might be best to post one tournament at a time? Confusion sucks

[upbeat ridge]

very strategic choice to post the announcement so close to a tournament

[young jacinth]

I need to give people enough time to prepare

[granite river]

It’ll either be fun or rail orbiters one or the other

[surreal pecan]

Same, I already had a strategy.

[gilded spindle]

So, post it immediately after this tournament ends

[young jacinth]

That would only be 2 weeks before

[gilded spindle]

That’s enough time, no?

[young jacinth]

depends on person and tournament format

I think earlier announcements are better

If you get easily confused Id recommend taking notes

[gilded spindle]

Or, maybe slow down with bi weekly tournaments?

It might make them mundane if there’s too many

[young jacinth]

That thought seems crazy to me. There are too many different things to try out and many of them could be repeated multiple times

[trim anchor]

@young jacinth for the 10mil tournament, can you enable huge ships??

[young jacinth]

yes

[trim anchor]

nice

i didn't see it in the tournament post, so i wasn't sure

[young jacinth]

Ah nice catch thanks

Thought I had included it

[gilded spindle]

In my opinion, it’s like eating lasagna every day with a different seasoning on it, everything is better in moderation

[young jacinth]

I dont share that opinion

[trim anchor]

another thing, have you chosen between round robin & Bo1 for today's tournament? @young jacinth

[short tartan]

this is gonna be interesting and fun

[gilded spindle]

Depending on the outcome of this tourney I could mess with 2v2 more

[young jacinth]

its gonna be double elim with bo3

[trim anchor]

[supple vapor]

does the library spinner solo?

[hollow socket]

Spin to win

[desert sky]

No one knows how to deal with spinners hahaha

That's why weak meta ships do so great in tournaments, peoples get surprised by it!

I love it

[hollow socket]

I would have killed the spinner if I didn't get Tb blasted

[desert sky]

Also I spoke too fast, let me see how the game ends

[trim anchor]

@young jacinth my morbiter goes 117 💀

and yeah i realized that the arrangement was shit

@undone zinc I’m making a 2v1 edit of you

[supple vapor]

does sora play rts?

[hollow socket]

Rts is good

[trim anchor]

rts is funny

hot take: its actually not that hard to pilot orbiters with rts

[supple vapor]

i disagree its just worse

[young jacinth]

@trim anchor @hollow socket @royal gust

[undone zinc]

eh?

[hollow socket]

I always play rts on orbiters

[undone zinc]

thanks ig

[hard rover]

no

i would never

[undone zinc]

who does

its just worse

[hard rover]

(i only do when i type)

[undone zinc]

lol same

[oblique apex]

Yes

[young jacinth]

sorry you are up

[undone zinc]

what

[supple vapor]

it just looks rlly weird how you were piloting losing ramp up

[young jacinth]

no Im just dumb

Ignore everything I said

[undone zinc]

wait wrong ping?

[hollow socket]

Is it?

[hard rover]

oh that's from face to cursor

because i don't have asd keys

Alright, who won?

Oh it is still going xD

[royal gust]

Yee we in for the long haul

[supple vapor]

[supple vapor]

we lost to slow and anti in the finals

[granite river]

ggs y'all

[desert sky]

Congrats on your win @granite river @gilded spindle !!!

Amazing play from both of you!!

[oblique apex]

Anti clutched the match

[gilded spindle]

anti carried lmao

[oblique apex]

For real

[young jacinth]

Thanks for participating it was really fun and interesting

[desert sky]

Wouldn't have made it without your spinner ;)

[gilded spindle]

but we wouldn't have lost without my spinner!

[desert sky]

Were you two in a voicechat? Your actions seemed pretty coordinated

[granite river]

Yes

[gilded spindle]

yes

[supple vapor]

we were as well

[oblique apex]

🔥

[hard rover]

i thought everyone was

[oblique apex]

xD

[desert sky]

It kinda confirms my thoughts that being in a voicechat in a team fight is a must have

[supple vapor]

we were rlly worried abt the mine avoider but we didnt expect the alpha rail 1 shot

[granite river]

:3

[oblique apex]

That alpha was the win condition ngl

[desert sky]

Mines were the best addition made for avoiders

[oblique apex]

That one shot was the decider of the match

[supple vapor]

we won vs it in the the semis but we didnt choose to run the same ships

[gilded spindle]

No, I won against it!

[supple vapor]

mf when library lol

[oblique apex]

[supple vapor]

we didnt know that was your spinner tho

[granite river]

the mine avoider if anyone's interested

[supple vapor]

we just planned on grabbing any random one

[granite river]

saris paint buff

[oblique apex]

More like a booster avoider 💀

[granite river]

also known as

an avoider

[gilded spindle]

meta

[granite river]

(the alpha rail)

[oblique apex]

AAAAGH!

SLOWKING IRL

[supple vapor]

the 2 ultra heavy cg rammers worked rlly well tho

[white apex]

to classic we return

[supple vapor]

v rail orbs

considering it hasnt been done before

[oblique apex]

dies

[gilded spindle]

The TB rail

[oblique apex]

4 barracks each side

That’s wild

[wispy hornet]

probably coulda survived the alpha rail if u full spun with the side armor too

[granite river]

that is how you beat them

[gilded spindle]

indeed

[wispy hornet]

ship file

[hollow socket]

hmmm

[supple vapor]

im rlly happy with how we did even if we didnt win

[oblique apex]

Fr

At the end of the day, it’s all about fun.

[granite river]

fiiiiiiiiiiiiiish

[wispy hornet]

open original

[granite river]

tried

[wispy hornet]

hm

[supple vapor]

this work?

[granite river]

yes

really cool ships btw

[supple vapor]

thx we tried to make a ship that we would both do rlly well with in a 2v2 setting

[oblique apex]

Anyways

Time for the highlights

[supple vapor]

now that the tourney is done i can run this whenever

[wispy hornet]

i think with a bit of fine tuning heavy mrt cgs will actually be a very viable option

[granite river]

i will now be running the 200 m/s ul ion

[wispy hornet]

noted flaws are too little front armor and also being quite sluggish though thats hard to fix

[oblique apex]

Wild

[granite river]

ship file btw

[supple vapor]

it absolutely ignores he missle ships tho

which is fun

[wispy hornet]

yep very good

hard counters rorbiter, morbiter, barges, etc

[oblique apex]

I am crying right now because of this. (jk)

[wispy hornet]

does good vs tbr

[supple vapor]

this came out of left field ngl

[granite river]

:p

[undone zinc]

Traditional rorbiters aren't 2v2 meta anymore 😭

[granite river]

mrt jumpscare

[supple vapor]

only niche is gone

[sterile flame]

That made watching more enjoyable.

[white apex]

the armor looks like

[wispy hornet]

tf?

[undone zinc]

But rorbiters mirrors are fun

[wispy hornet]

💀

[undone zinc]

Lmao I can't believe that worked

[granite river]

everything works if you try hard enough

[undone zinc]

Yeah ig

We did pretty badly tbh

We had fun though

That's what counts

[hard rover]

demotion worthy

i think i should've used this with cy

[granite river]

the annoying thing is that the off-center rail is optimal here

if you place it in the middle you have to place it higher and reposition the crs

[hard rover]

higher means more range and extra armor for crs

[granite river]

though I think the rails would be better operated by a barracks

[undone zinc]

Oh hell nah

[hard rover]

it goes 173

[undone zinc]

That's absurd

[upbeat ridge]

starting on the vod

rip in pepperonis tritave

i wonder if a second caster would have been a good idea this tourney

[desert sky]

I think the tournaments hosts lack the addition of music

[upbeat ridge]

personally a fan of having my own music instead of a stream-curated one

i like the spinner strategy- they're really good at spinning

[granite river]

the people yearn for elevator music

[granite river]

it was my first time piloting a spinner <-<

aside from a few practice sessions before

[upbeat ridge]

i thought cy.co was playing again smh /lh

[vocal cloak]

is it done yet

[granite river]

yes has been for hours

[upbeat ridge]

yeah

[vocal cloak]

Whos ship am i painting

[lavish compass]

mine

[upbeat ridge]

honest to god you handled it pretty well

[lavish compass]

[supple vapor]

Same thing we did with j uki

[granite river]

helps that slowk built an incredible ship

[upbeat ridge]

i'm on the ||rift & erin vs anti & slowk|| fight right now

how do i reply without looking narcissistic <-<

[upbeat ridge]

[upbeat ridge]

you know watching cosmoteer without camera controls is kinda boring so i just watch at 2x speed

🤔 paroxysm could use a nice paintjob

[upbeat ridge]

"what the fuck is this" -plaus

[granite river]

lmao yes

[vocal cloak]

@gilded spindle @granite river we can discuss the details of the paint in DMs

[upbeat ridge]

i accidentally was on pull on the approach

[granite river]

🤭

[upbeat ridge]

okay so for spinners you want to target slightly leading the hole

[forest cedar]

yes

[upbeat ridge]

i'll admit it's hard to time especially under pressure

[forest cedar]

the reason we were struggling with targeting is because that spinner goes so fucking fast

i was trying to slow it down w my tb but it barely did anything

[forest cedar]

by the time we rotated to fan our target was already on the other side

[upbeat ridge]

yeah you really have no choice but to time it
not to mention @granite river could slow it down and fuck your timing up too

rails are pretty deep when it comes to skill i'll say

[forest cedar]

im pretty good at using rails we were just panicking a little as well

also @short tartan im never gonna let you live down turning around in front of the spinner

[short tartan]

i know

[granite river]

unless you're fighting something other than rails

[upbeat ridge]

i'm not either

[upbeat ridge]

depends - some skills still port over

[granite river]

i mean that rails are overpowered

at least in 2v2 (yes still)

[forest cedar]

also i genuinely dont understand how to use avoiders vs CGs

[upbeat ridge]

in 2v2 yeah kinna the most viable tactic other than speed

[forest cedar]

you do it so well its annoying

[upbeat ridge]

i wanna see slowk avoidering vs cg now

[granite river]

the secret is the boost

[forest cedar]

yeah but like

that runs out after a little bit

ig i havent used a design w LRs for the engines

[granite river]

the boost recharge is so much better with a LR on the thrust

[forest cedar]

ive only used ss avoiders like this

[upbeat ridge]

very standard 2v2 matchup so far this one

[granite river]

oh yeah you have to try 5mr

they're so much more responsive it's insane

[forest cedar]

alright

[granite river]

the loss of 4 shields and some lasers is more than worth it

[forest cedar]

i do love using the higher firepower of 3LR3MR designs

[white apex]

ls avoider \👍

[granite river]

i like having a ship that is alive and exists

[white apex]

wait no

*sc

idk how i misthought that

[upbeat ridge]

cosmentia

[upbeat ridge]

"avoiders are too thick so i'm testing something"
that one?

[granite river]

oh my god how long ago was that

[upbeat ridge]

about 3 weeks

[white apex]

return of the ul??

[upbeat ridge]

air how are you expert

[forest cedar]

what

[granite river]

how far back in the past are you trapped

[upbeat ridge]

further than even i

[white apex]

at least 6 years \👍

[forest cedar]

armored avoiders havent been viable in months

[granite river]

as far as ss avoiders go i'm convinced that 5mr is better than 6mr now

[forest cedar]

hm

alright

[granite river]

the torque you can get

[forest cedar]

i'll give it a try

[granite river]

you can dodge rails

[forest cedar]

oh?

[granite river]

not just spread them, but literally dodge

if you spin right

[forest cedar]

hm

but also 24sc24eb :3

[upbeat ridge]

@young jacinth control + t

[forest cedar]

what is this the hotkey for

[upbeat ridge]

team chat hotkey

[forest cedar]

ah

its not that hard to just click the little box tho

[lavish compass]

face ship towards cursor:

[upbeat ridge]

i find it easier not to control my mouse when i want to type

[forest cedar]

ig so

but if ur using team chat its not like you have to turn it off during the match so just turn it on in the ship choosing menu then just leave it on

[hollow socket]

you could have it ticked before fighting

[white apex]

who is optimizing their chat settings agony

[upbeat ridge]

i throw lighthearted comments at my enemy/ies during bossfights

[upbeat ridge]

i use vim

[forest cedar]

me when i hyperlink an emoji

[white apex]

you can use the text editor for cosmoteer text??

[forest cedar]

lmao

[upbeat ridge]

really wish i could play cosmoteer in vim

[white apex]

https://vencord.dev/

[granite river]

cannot dispute the fun of ripping ultralights to shreds in a ram

[forest cedar]

yeah

its incredibly good in avoider mirrors too for obvious reasons

[granite river]

if the opponent has no idea how to use the S key then yeah

[forest cedar]

uhm

[upbeat ridge]

i use the D key for reverse

[forest cedar]

24 forward boost

[granite river]

counterpoint: mines, heavy lasers

[upbeat ridge]

heavy laser barrage down range?

[forest cedar]

hl is why you close the distance first before you boost

and people dont really use mines in mirrors

[granite river]

yep basically

[granite river]

in this specific case you fight the cannon avoider more like you're fighting an orbiwall

[upbeat ridge]

every plaus match is so nauseating ugh

[granite river]

i'd hardly even call it a mirror tbh

[forest cedar]

lol ig so

[granite river]

and the cannon avoider loses a lot of matchups that the hl avoider wins

although it is a lot of fun

doesn't even seem like it beats orbiwalls

[upbeat ridge]

it definitely can get close back when april went under a different name

it'll do jack shit against the mrt one thats fo sho

[granite river]

only hope vs the mrt is mines

honestly i might try a version of my avoider that swaps the cannons for more mines

going up to 8 launchers from 4 would be crazy

[upbeat ridge]

8 is definitely close to overkill

[granite river]

I dispute that

[upbeat ridge]

i trust your dispute, what's the claim

[granite river]

8 mines almost allows me to oneshot 7 layers of rammer armor

4 i have to barrel snipe

it's just a lot easier to do that fight with more mines

and the cannons do jack shit there

ultralight nuke orbis i find i kill more with mines than cannons

i'd like to keep the cannons as well if I can but

[upbeat ridge]

not pulling all the work i take it

[granite river]

i won't say they aren't worth the cost, rather not worth the frontal surface area

if there's a way i can cram them in without losing shield coverage ima do that instead

got some ideas but gotta test em

[upbeat ridge]

you willing to?

[granite river]

i'd rather chill w some terraria rn but tomorrow if i can

might stream in vc

[upbeat ridge]

yeah you just went through a tournemnt

[wispy hornet]

tournament stream 2 with absolutely zero background music

[stone grove]

Swap them out for dc

[supple vapor]

@gilded spindle is this weekends tournament going to be same as last tourney single elim and no loser bracket? bc if its on the longer end it conflicts with the weekly dom games

[gilded spindle]

It’s the same no losers bracket single elimformat

[upbeat ridge]

[gilded spindle]

We don’t like autocorrect

[upbeat ridge]

@forest cedar @zinc quiver

[trim anchor]

womp womp lol

[real bay]

Let's go erin!!!!!

@supple vapor

[forest cedar]

that was stressful

gl fish

[young jacinth]

Whats the password

[lavish compass]

[wispy hornet]

is there no bracket?

i want to see which game this is

[lavish compass]

https://challonge.com/txnnxsso

[real bay]

oh ive fought the cg rammer before

[forest cedar]

@gilded spindle i think ur mic is muted

alr

[gilded spindle]

@royal gust

@forest cedar

[supple vapor]

rip horn version i didnt know abt

ggs

[wispy hornet]

rip

ggs

fish did u pick cg rammer vs plaus

[supple vapor]

yes i cant beat him on ul nuke reliably or morb reliably vs his rail ship

[wispy hornet]

tb rail?

[supple vapor]

i could have gone lc swarm but thats a dice roll ngl

[supple vapor]

ye

[wispy hornet]

rip

did u run ur 12er

[gilded spindle]

@young jacinth

[supple vapor]

yea but horn into lethal thruster shot

[wispy hornet]

classic

hard matchup for sure

[granite river]

gl erin :p

short tourney

[supple vapor]

erin is in a rlly similar spot rn

@gilded spindle we fear his ul nuke

[wispy hornet]

did they go cgr too

[supple vapor]

ye

[wispy hornet]

bruh

do they have a 12er

[granite river]

welp

[supple vapor]

no dead insta

[gilded spindle]

bo3?

[wispy hornet]

i dont think horn tbr as a 10er is a playable matchup

[supple vapor]

2 reactor kill insta

[wispy hornet]

esp vs a good pilot

12er like almost levels the playing field

[zinc quiver]

bo1 is bad

[supple vapor]

what i was going for but i still lost

[wispy hornet]

ye

still tough

[real bay]

responses?

[zinc quiver]

yes

bo3

shit lasted 20s

[wispy hornet]

ive been experimenting with secondary horns so i can still ramlock tbr after dropping horns

[real bay]

what does slowking mean my responses

[wispy hornet]

like a weird curved horn

very small

[gilded spindle]

I'm reading here

[supple vapor]

thats what luna did with the armor cut off

[real bay]

?

[wispy hornet]

yea its the same concept

[forest cedar]

what the hell is that noise @gilded spindle

[supple vapor]

lmao

[granite river]

paragon level sweating

[zinc quiver]

plaus wtf

[real bay]

oh no

[supple vapor]

oh this rip erin

[wispy hornet]

can u send ur current 12er i wanna see it

[zinc quiver]

yeah next time im facing plaus im banning reactors

nvm he messed up

[wispy hornet]

ah so you opted for 8 launchers

how many mags?

[supple vapor]

77

[wispy hornet]

nice

[granite river]

plaus should bring a reactor cannon

[oblique apex]

Who won?

[supple vapor]

last match rn

[oblique apex]

Yooo

[supple vapor]

erin vs plaus plaus should win

[oblique apex]

Who va who?

Erin pls win

[lavish compass]

Who's next?
You decide!

Epic Rap Battles of HIIIIStory

[oblique apex]

Actually nvm

Plaus needs to win for that juicy paragon

[supple vapor]

tourny performance doesnt affect role req

erin lost

wp @young jacinth

[gilded spindle]

it can

[upbeat ridge]

gg

[supple vapor]

hes already won so many lol

[real bay]

so now what?

[upbeat ridge]

great games from everyone

[supple vapor]

dom games now

[zinc quiver]

yes

[oblique apex]

https://tenor.com/view/general-grievous-gif-13718534390039256298

[supple vapor]

@gilded spindle new tourney bans next time too

ill remind you closer to start date dw

[sterile flame]

@young jacinth Congrats🎉

[oblique apex]

Plaus now has another tournament win for his collection.

[trim anchor]

nice job @young jacinth !!

this is the part where i wine about how badly i did in the tournament
but tbh i think i did better, and i did play well up until that dumbass manuver XD

but yeah amazing plays from everyone

[oblique apex]

:,)

[surreal pecan]

HMM what a surprising outcome, it's nice to see the underdog win for a change

What an upset

[desert hornet]

well done tb rail!

and @young jacinth i guess

[lavish compass]

47 minute tournament

[oblique apex]

Lmao what is slowking still doing in the vc

[young jacinth]

Thank you all but I literally just hard countered my opponents 4 matches in a row

[tacit nacelle]

I would argue raytracer vs unicorn is not a hard counter

[young jacinth]

Maybe but with this map layout it was

In a totally open map you would probably counter me

[young jacinth]

@real bay yes and this channel is for questions. You signing up?

[real bay]

yeah even though i havent finished my ship

[real bay]

are squibs allowed for the big ships?

[gilded spindle]

Yeah, seemingly as each player gets 5 ship slots

[hollow socket]

is the tournament happening with the mod on or off? since you can play illegal ships like it without mods

[young jacinth]

No. Rules state that you can only use 1 ship

[young jacinth]

Yea a bit missleading sorry

[young jacinth]

No to prevent illegal ships

[hollow socket]

I guess it's a different tournament for me the next time then

[real bay]

so it looks like four people

but given how much ive armored my ship that will still maybe take a bit

[young jacinth]

Would you prefer bo1 or bo3 round robin?

[real bay]

bo3

[tacit nacelle]

bo3

[young jacinth]

@supple vapor @real bay

[real bay]

hi

whats the password

[young jacinth]

huge

[young jacinth]

did you join?

weird name xD

[real bay]

i did

[lavish compass]

hi chat did i miss something

yo´´e

yoppe

[young jacinth]

@tacit nacelle @vocal cloak

[real bay]

so is leaving and waiting what i should be doing

[young jacinth]

yes

[young jacinth]

first set of games

[lavish compass]

this is so funny

that was a DENSE railfan

this is fire

scary

this is frustrating

ROD deaths are stupid

[supple vapor]

mung could hot key fire and it would be faster than there current thrust set up

[lavish compass]

gg

[tacit nacelle]

yeah I dont have it set up

[lavish compass]

remember to restart your games for memory leak prevention

different ships?

allowed or no

mung: reinventing the wheel

should have done the tourney with 2x range mods

rod death 2

https://tenor.com/view/ronald-mcdonald-gif-25843435

it really sucks ass

[supple vapor]

timelapse of the spinner dying is rlly funny

[real bay]

worst shiny ever

[supple vapor]

@young jacinth ngl i thought the options were round robin, b03, and b01

[lavish compass]

memory leak friday

[supple vapor]

b03 round robin gonna be a year

[real bay]

plotting what to do

[vocal cloak]

im putting the camera at the end of the map at maximum zoom out to not die of lag

[real bay]

so who fights now

[young jacinth]

we can change to bo1 if you want?

[lavish compass]

me vs the world

[real bay]

sure

[young jacinth]

@real bay @tacit nacelle

[lavish compass]

WHAT

MINING BEAMS

it didnt work

i'm rooting for mung and so far i'm getting boiling with rage

its over

[tacit nacelle]

I was relying on sniping both lines of prisms for that match

worked in previous testing but didnt manage to do it

[real bay]

i should really secure my prisms

if theres ever another big ship tourney ill probably make another ion rammer that doesnt have emps since mine refuse to fire

also maybe staggered nukes?

[lavish compass]

iron rammer

womp womp

no ion for oyu

[real bay]

oh yeah those are op

i desperately hope plaus wins

[tacit nacelle]

not ususally something you need to hope for

[real bay]

well i really dont want to face fish again

[young jacinth]

@tacit nacelle

[supple vapor]

plaus has the scariest ship so far fr

[real bay]

i feel like building my ship in secret wouldve been good

[lavish compass]

i desperately hope plaus LOSE cant win any more /lh

(insert this tshirt)

BORN TO WIN
MRT IS A FUCK
KILL EM ALL 2022
I am paragon(oid) man
4002th consecutive wins

[real bay]

can i reconfigure my ship's settings before i fight again

[supple vapor]

ofc

[lavish compass]

yeah why not

go quick

[real bay]

what about small physical changes

[lavish compass]

i dont think you need permisison

[supple vapor]

you can do anything to it its fine

[lavish compass]

as long as you show up

[real bay]

k

[lavish compass]

who's gonna bring a 10 mil avoider

my thoughts so far: on one hand 10 mil ships are fun to see and fight
on another hand this feels boring 😭

[young jacinth]

@vocal cloak @real bay

[supple vapor]

not imo its just the fights take a rlly long time

[real bay]

its slow

but actually fighting feels AWESOME

[supple vapor]

yea thats a good way of putting it

[lavish compass]

the 2 ROD deaths:

imo ROD death is the most boring way out

[real bay]

anyway now i am strengthened by my kitty and some adjustments

[lavish compass]

most of the time

[supple vapor]

well thats a design issue on mungs part

sadly

[real bay]

Is that from where I think that is.

[lavish compass]

[supple vapor]

when i vs mung it will likely be rod v3

[hollow socket]

next tournament we should do ships this size

[supple vapor]

hm is that lol

[hollow socket]

62.7 m

[lavish compass]

i'm habing a stroke

[supple vapor]

lmao my pc gonna burn

[lavish compass]

pretasking my gg

[real bay]

this si the most bullshit tourney i couldve ever joined

btw my kitty's power is why i was able to clip my horn

[lavish compass]

well

here we go

10 mil avoider

rams immediatelly

[real bay]

plaus is cooked

[lavish compass]

it works FUCK

[hollow socket]

any 10m modular thruster ul nuke ships yet?

[lavish compass]

pretasked gg already

or is it

[young jacinth]

@supple vapor @tacit nacelle

[real bay]

i should pretask my ggs

[raven fern]

Now that's just cursed 😲

[lavish compass]

could be worse

[young jacinth]

@supple vapor

[real bay]

AMAZING

[lavish compass]

good luck hitting the cr without zeroing ammo

gg

[young jacinth]

@supple vapor@vocal cloak

[tacit nacelle]

at least I didnt die to rod

[real bay]

unfortunate

disappointed sigh

[real bay]

it is

dont tell em

[lavish compass]

contradictory much /lh

[tacit nacelle]

wasnt pip bug fixed anyway

[lavish compass]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[supple vapor]

@real bay lock in you win i win

[lavish compass]

wish the mega spinner was one of those

i am joking

most of these ship look ridiculous 😭

[supple vapor]

@young jacinth we are tied so are we going to have a final match?

[young jacinth]

yes

[supple vapor]

alr

[young jacinth]

pinged you in wrong chaneel sorry xD

[supple vapor]

alg

[real bay]

was i third place?

[supple vapor]
