Tournament Chat

[young jacinth]

Still random but in a different way

could work better

[supple vapor]

its a little more random

but no clear advantadge to who doesnt pick first

at least

[vocal cloak]

full send gambling

no ban order

just pick what you want to play behind closed door

[supple vapor]

no lol

entire system is to avoid the dice roll

we can iron this out more

but i think this system is worth running

[vocal cloak]

you see what they have, they see what you have and based on that information you guess kekw

would be funny for troll tourney

[ashen jackal]

Behind the scenes banning in multiple rounds, 3-5 ships?

[vocal cloak]

do i just DM you any 1,5m ship?

[white apex]

yeah prety much

[vocal cloak]

here paint this

anyway to retirement i go

[supple vapor]

if anyone has anymore feedback on this tourney system check the discussion on excelsior

i rlly enjoyed it though and hope to see it as the new standard

[wispy hornet]

i suggest just making the bans blind, and the players dm the hosts their ban at the same time

weird ban sequences will alwyas still be somewhat unfair no matter what

[white apex]

misclick :(((((((

i closed a category and the chat button moved

[white apex]

@raven fern @gilded spindle what are you two doing

[raven fern]

Chatting and discussing the December Grand Prix

[oblique apex]

I see

[surreal pecan]

OH MY GOD the giant ball

Who won the official tournament?

[gilded spindle]

plaus

[white apex]

#tournament-announcements

[surreal pecan]

I love it when sarcasm flies over goofy Cosmoteer goobers' heads

[white apex]

????

[olive wren]

damn that dodge by kine was slick

[upbeat ridge]

@snow seal gratzlephz

[hazy root]

@gilded spindle would the nuke phasing through the MRT like yesterday, considered like a crippling bug and be eligible for a rematch ?

[gilded spindle]

if it results in an immediate loss, yeah

[raven fern]

What if it destroyed a critical component (MRT nozzle) that then allowed the opponent to get the upper hand later in the match?

[white apex]

bug is crippling and critical and unforseen

so i think yes

even if it just explodes in the middle of armor

[gilded spindle]

Losing a single MRT isn't critial, it's bad but doesn't instantly lose you the match so I'd say no unless people give out

[granite river]

i disagree but that’s also an mrt issue

run ht instead

[young jacinth]

No really unforseen

Its a common bug

[granite river]

It’s difficult to predict and is not an intended nuke feature

I’d count it as unforseen

[white apex]

you can't predict when it will happen though

maybe i should read 2 messages down before replying lol

[granite river]

pairagon

[upbeat ridge]

the true paragon of our time

[granite river]

^^^^^^^^^

an_Unemployed was right all along

[young jacinth]

Semantics

Sorry didnt mean to ping

[hazy root]

Okay that's borderline. But it was critical because losing speed and agility will only end in a defeat. I don't think I would have won anyway, that's more for my knowledge.

[young jacinth]

For me it wouldnt be cause for a rematch as its just too common.
But its Slowkings decision to make.

[white apex]

if there was a common bug that made reactors randomly explode then it would still be grounds even if it was common

[young jacinth]

Not for me

[young jacinth]

We will just do a bo3 round robin I guess

[supple vapor]

@young jacinth is there any paint rewards for the 1v1?

[young jacinth]

no :(

[supple vapor]

i forgot if ppl promised

rip

[young jacinth]

password is ion

[white apex]

guh

[young jacinth]

@real zinc you start against fish

[supple vapor]

oh they did check in

[white apex]

please do ping if you reply to me

[supple vapor]

mb

[white apex]

for future reference

[young jacinth]

Oh that was meant for my tourney sorry

[supple vapor]

[young jacinth]

So We have 2 paint rewards and 3 players lol

[supple vapor]

[young jacinth]

[supple vapor]

[real zinc]

How to join lol?

[young jacinth]

[supple vapor]

click on mulitplayer from main menu

[ashen jackal]

will there be stream?

[young jacinth]

youre probably in the coop lobby

not pvp

[real zinc]

Right

[young jacinth]

yes

[supple vapor]

where it says lobby

change it to pvp

[white apex]

here

[supple vapor]

whats your in game name?

[real zinc]

Poij

[real zinc]

How to change pvp to YTI

[supple vapor]

have you clicked on multiplayer?

[real zinc]

Yes

[young jacinth]

you need to change the left one

are you on preview per chance?

and could you send that screenshot?

[supple vapor]

back on the main menu bottom left

whats your game version

[real zinc]

Yes

0.27.2

[young jacinth]

not 0.27.2a

?

[real zinc]

Um

[real zinc]

Noooo

Fuc

[young jacinth]

can you update?

we can do my matches vs fish first in the meantime

[real zinc]

Start without me

[young jacinth]

alright well do that

[real zinc]

will there be a second match?

@young jacinth

[young jacinth]

we play bo3 matches and always 1vs1

[real zinc]

Ok

[young jacinth]

so you still play the same amount of matches even though youre late

stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu_Tq4G-ZoA

[ashen jackal]

no mic @young jacinth ?

can hear you now tho, fixed ✅

[real zinc]

and we can have a battle on version 0.27.2, it's just that with my internet, you will have to wait at least another hour?

[ashen jackal]

what a great tournament so far

[real zinc]

Update

[ashen jackal]

but props for the designs to Plaus (actual designs)

[real zinc]

@young jacinth

[young jacinth]

@supple vapor you knwo how to get that version?

does previos build work?

[supple vapor]

trying rn

with previous

[young jacinth]

same

[young jacinth]

f

[supple vapor]

how does it take an hour if your able to play matches at all

[young jacinth]

Im sorry I guess you cant participate then

[supple vapor]

plaus wanna run 1 more

[young jacinth]

lets play in 27.2.a then

[young jacinth]

sure

[supple vapor]

yea i wanna test alternative methods to winning

now that i understand the dps better

[ashen jackal]

@young jacinth it is an interesting concept, and your ships do deserve some more playtime, what if you do some 1v1's with your ships for both ppl? I think the requirement to design fully new ships might have put people off

[young jacinth]

I think its much more interesting if people come of with their own ideas

we we can do a few 1vs1 if you want

[ashen jackal]

In a moment, I'll make dinner, and come back after

[young jacinth]

sure ping me then

[supple vapor]

ggs wp plaus ( ions do so much more dmg than most ppl think)

[young jacinth]

@vocal cloak @white apex We had 2 participants so I guess I still get a paint job from kine and fish from air?

[vocal cloak]

really only 2 players? lmao

DM me the ship/s

[vocal cloak]

btw what did you get from getting first place on official tourney?

[supple vapor]

a ton of ppl signed up then signed out

nothing air trolled him

[raven fern]

The champ... oh wait he already has it

[vocal cloak]

i mean i got paint

[young jacinth]

nothing lol

[vocal cloak]

why do you got nothing

[young jacinth]

idk xD

[supple vapor]

he just gets to gate keep the champ role

perma blocking it

[young jacinth]

Also got nothing in most previous official tournaments

[young jacinth]

yea thats reward enough for me

[vocal cloak]

official didnt have rewards since like saris left

[supple vapor]

dom has $$$$

if you can actually beat tonie or przyjem tho (not possible)

[vocal cloak]

official had too for like 3 tourneys

[supple vapor]

would certainly get ppl to sign up more

[young jacinth]

I think this would be fitting

[vocal cloak]

1.5m total

you got alot leftover

[young jacinth]

Its my ion storm/sun diver hybrid

oh hm

[supple vapor]

is sun diving more difficult?

[young jacinth]

Ill dm

[young jacinth]

kinda depends

but Id say yes

really big ships have it harder in ion storms

[surreal pecan]

Ion storm requires not-so-bonkers overprotection of EVERY side, meanwhile the sun requires a very concentrated protection on one.

[raven fern]

@young jacinth Regarding your ask walt question, the answer is most likely no.
Change in rewards for new tournaments doesn't affect the planned prizes for previous ones

[surreal pecan]

Walt wouldn't be inclient to send an entire wardrobe XD

[oblique apex]

Bro is getting 10 thousand dollars lmfaoooo

[young jacinth]

I know I just found the idea funny

[hollow socket]

Use a spinner be unkillable

In 8x speed

[undone zinc]

[undone zinc]

[raven fern]

For those unaware, the Grand Prix is a yearly racing event

[snow seal]

can i just vote all options bc all of them should work for me

[olive wren]

i wouldn't be able to participate at any time except for the third one (7am for me) and even then for that id have to wake up early

but i do hope to make it, if not to do well, then at least to mess with someone

[raven fern]

That's fine!

[vocal cloak]

what time should i sleep guys

[raven fern]

If I could expect a significant turn up I'd organize two events in separate timezones. Sorry kine 😕

[fierce lark]

dont take it seriously its the usual kine monthly whining about tourney schedule

[raven fern]

I still feel bad because I know you've been staying up super late every time you've joined an event 😅

[sharp bane]

Do I win by default or do I have to defeat you @young jacinth lmao

[young jacinth]

Youll have to defeat me of course

Tomorrow

[sharp bane]

🫡

[young jacinth]

Kine paint is on the line

[sharp bane]

Ahhah I got the date wrong

[surreal pecan]

Please thogh for the love of god, don't brand it as a tournament, it's just a (I assume Bo5) duel for Bus' sake

[young jacinth]

1vs1 tournament

[surreal pecan]

@inland lagoon banger idea

I hope you domination guys advertise this event immensely and across the entire cosmoverse, seeing one gigantic ultra large tournament to end them all would be so cool and great both for viewers and for the event.

[olive wren]

...sigh

[supple vapor]

2 am on the weekend isn’t bad

It’s not ideal but it’s makable what time zone are you anyway

[olive wren]

australian eastern

[olive wren]

im not ruining my sleep schedule for a dom tourney unfortunately

[wispy hornet]

nah

[wispy hornet]

considering thats when it starts and itll probably take a couple hours thats pretty ass

[inland lagoon]

🙏

[inland lagoon]

Sleep during the day and wake up at night to play

[hard rover]

tournament made for vampires

[upbeat ridge]

bleh ble bleh

[sharp bane]

I forgor anyways x-x

it's fine it would've just been missile spam, Probably

But ping me same time (several hours ago) tomorrow plaus if you do want to fight a really rusty veteran 🫡

[young jacinth]

You still wanna fight?

[sharp bane]

Yea sure!

loading up

[sharp bane]

lmk when you host

[young jacinth]

.

@vocal cloak I won a 1vs1 again. Do I still get paint?

[vocal cloak]

sure

[young jacinth]

epic

[desert sky]

By the way @raven fern , do we not have trial runs to play on before the tournament?

I feel like a lot of information is missing compared to last year

Will it be hosted on the preview or on stable? Where is the actual rule set? You said you will do other test runs, where are they? Did I missed them?

[raven fern]

Last year i organized and hosted the tournament a week after its announcement. This year I started a lot earlier and all the info should be available by the end of the week 😄

Afterwards I'll host a trial run at least once a week

[desert sky]

Sorry I was misslead to think the tournament would start tomorrow
Edit: Apologies, I uhhhh, I thought we were in december

[supple vapor]

@gilded spindle tourney this month?

[wispy hornet]

no

[oblique apex]

sad

[inland lagoon]

i dont think under 2 weeks to prepare is veri good

dont you want tournaments to show peak of competition

[fierce lark]

eh its the same old tourney same old time every month

vanilla elim 1v1

just pray RC dont become vanilla 2 days before tourney

[supple vapor]

Why it’s just tbr meta

Solved

[surreal pecan]

Well, not only has it become kind of stale, it also barely attracts any participants as of recently.

[supple vapor]

This could be bc it’s given a max set up and notice of a week

[undone zinc]

Tourneys are no different to casual matches tbh

What would you need to prepare for

[supple vapor]

to actually show up at the given time

[undone zinc]

That's like a few days notice

At most

[supple vapor]

past that counters to others ship mains E.X somthing that can beat plaus ul nuke

[young jacinth]

Its always on the last saturday of the month

except when slow forgets

[supple vapor]

50/50 in the time ive been playing

🎲

[young jacinth]

@gilded spindle

[gilded spindle]

hi

[young jacinth]

People asked if there is a tourney this month

[gilded spindle]

there will be

[oblique apex]

Hmmm?

Will it be on the 30th?

[young jacinth]

ok cool

[gilded spindle]

yes

[oblique apex]

👍

[young jacinth]

@desert sky sorry for spamming the announcements jsut after you posted. I swear it wasnt on pourpose lol

[raven fern]

You could remove the embed icons and leave the links so his post is still visible 😄

[desert sky]

Frankly that was so expected. My biggest worry was that you would cut two of my messages in half so I'm glad this didn't happen
No worries lmao

[desert sky]

Blaze has a point too
If you don't know how to remove embeds how put <link> around your link

[young jacinth]

oh yea i didnt know thats possible

[desert sky]

Thanks!

@raven fern Since you are there, could you remove the poll creation message for me? #tournament-announcements message
Idk it sounds like a nitpick but honestly it takes quite a bit of space

[raven fern]

I can but it serves the purpose of you gathering information. Are you sure?

[desert sky]

Thanks! Yes I absoluely have all the informations I need without the poll creation message

[raven fern]

Yeah I misread, thought you wanted me to remove the poll

[snow seal]

@young jacinth for classic mechanics, can tb also be single beam?

is that far back enough?

instead of 5 yk

also are nukes still straight lines or are they sluggish HE again

[young jacinth]

I can do that if you want me to

[young jacinth]

They still are modern nukes

[snow seal]

interesting

[hollow socket]

If you really wanted a true classic tournament, you should have used the classic version of cosmoteer,

[upbeat ridge]

elitist take

like yeah sure we could do that but there have been bugfixes in modern

[tacit nacelle]

Is this still happening?

gonna be a pretty short signup if so

[snow seal]

would need to host server and risk of doxxing or smtg idk

[hollow socket]

Who would someone dox with like 7-8 people, that are the same people every tournament

[gilded spindle]

Host for safety would probably use a vpn or something

[upbeat ridge]

hamachi or similar service might work

[white apex]

easiest way

[desert sky]

What happened to slowking @young jacinth ?

[young jacinth]

I just made the announcement for him

hes still there

[desert sky]

Did you had like, his consent

[young jacinth]

of course

imagine lol

[desert sky]

Why not doing it himself? I am so confused

[young jacinth]

Idk I guess he is short on time or something

[hard rover]

plaus is lying to us

slowking was assassinated by plaus

in a plot to overthrow the official tournament government

[tacit nacelle]

I wonder how many people will join with 2 days of signup

[ashen jackal]

I'll signup tomorrow ^^

[gilded spindle]

@trim anchor EST is -5, so it should be 2pm EST on the 30th of November as far as I can see

unless daylight savings

[granite river]

3pm est

[gilded spindle]

There you have it, it's 4 hours thanks to that

[granite river]

unless the timestamp is wrong

[gilded spindle]

no, it's right

[raven fern]

You should rename yourself "Slowk 2.0" . The insurrection has begun!

[undone zinc]

This is a bit short notice

[gilded spindle]

@trim anchor I can and will commit warcrimes fix your signup

[trim anchor]

wait it has to exactly match the example sign up message?

i thought it was a suggestion

"example post"

[gilded spindle]

Your time is incorrect

[supple vapor]

It’s 2 pm bc farmers control time

I just fixed mine after copy pasting yours XD

[trim anchor]

oh

i did not know that discord's time formatting didn't account for dst

@gilded spindle fixed

[desert sky]

If nothing big happens I should be able to make it

[snow seal]

so i wouldve had time but i missed my flight and now it overlaps with the tourney

[quick kelp]

suboptimal ):

[undone zinc]

@young jacinth are ships from the lib allowed

[young jacinth]

I think so

[undone zinc]

alr thats gonna save my ass

[young jacinth]

hm I cant find it in the rules

was it changed?

[young jacinth]

@gilded spindle ^

[surreal pecan]

@ SarisWinterwisp I am signing up for the tournament on the 21st and 28th of October, which will take place at 15:00 IST, my IGN is Slowking

I mean Nick

xd

[gilded spindle]

If it’s publically shared and expected, sure

[supple vapor]

Is the tourney in 1 min or in an hour btw?

[gilded spindle]

In an hour

[young jacinth]

Id clarify in the rules

[supple vapor]

Bruuuuu

Then coco was right XD

It is 3 pm est

[gilded spindle]

Yeah why does it say dec 1st

[supple vapor]

Uhhhh

Coco was not right

[undone zinc]

WHAT

in an hour

i thought it was now

damn

[real bay]

same

[undone zinc]

7pm gmt

its 19:08 gmt

well thats messed up my whole evening

[desert sky]

Thank you for the reminder

Having check in is actually a good idea

Can it please mentions "check in" in the pings though?

Not the pins, I do mean the pings

[quick kelp]

if it's mungs and i it's because NZ is just built different (our timezone is ahead)

[trim anchor]

(reposted from sign up thread)
do i send my ships to slowking in his dms?
and when? answered

[desert sky]

@gilded spindle What count for the ships? The poll has 5 but the doc mentions three

[trim anchor]

also who lied to me and said that it was supposed to be 2pm EST 💀

i edited it to 3pm now
but fish and slowking both had me change it to 2pm 😭

[trim anchor]

source

[young jacinth]

5

ok slow will only arrive later so Im going to have to stream at the start

please send your ships to me too

[real bay]

oh ok

[young jacinth]

5 ships/fleets

[royal gust]

Yee one sec

[young jacinth]

and I guess there will be a slight delay on the start

@royal gust @quick kelp

[supple vapor]

Round 1 plaus let’s go

[undone zinc]

Fuck my laptop just bluescreend on me

[trim anchor]

okay i lowk did not know that they would show the ship previews too 😭

who the fuck agreed to this tournament style

okay this new ban system is awful ngl 💀

its overengineered & complicated, and tries to solve a problem which even isn't much of an obstruction

was this what was there on the october one?

[tacit nacelle]

last time it was 3 ships

and only 1 ban at a time

[supple vapor]

Cap we love it

[trim anchor]

[supple vapor]

It prevents random dice roll

[trim anchor]

wait so ur watching the stream rn

[supple vapor]

• better than saris system

Yes

[trim anchor]

you dont think that this system is cumbersome in the slightest?

or even remotely unecessary

[supple vapor]

No the only issue that maybe presented is people being unfamiliar/ using 5 ships

3 ships is more than enough

[trim anchor]

💀

craziest bait ive seen

want to take this chat somewhere else

[supple vapor]

Gen excel

[trim anchor]

bc this is where ppl will talk about the tournament itself, and also where ppl will get pinged

[young jacinth]

@supple vapor

@real bay @tacit nacelle

[undone zinc]

@young jacinth so do i just send the ships to u

[young jacinth]

yes

[undone zinc]

alr

[quick kelp]

@real bay you did better than i expected for that matchup

[young jacinth]

@trim anchor @undone zinc

[undone zinc]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

ok

[real bay]

i still have no idea how to fight tbs

[quick kelp]

try get a good ramlock and pray that it works

and don't lose ramp

[tacit nacelle]

doubt that'll work against 10tb

[real bay]

thanks

is it okay to slightly modify ships between rounds?

[quick kelp]

you're using the ships plaus currently has saved, so i don't think so

@young jacinth can confirm

[real bay]

im gonna modify it for the next tourney

[trim anchor]

oh for fkz sake

[quick kelp]

slowk's going to be late, apparently

[trim anchor]

BRO WHAT THE FUCK

IVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN

that was actually teh dumbest fucking shit

ive ever played

[quick kelp]

why did you forfeit, you still had a volley?

[trim anchor]

all of my nukes randomly get set to infinite fire

[supple vapor]

yea that was easliy winnable still

[trim anchor]

it would have been lost

[supple vapor]

losers bracket still

[tacit nacelle]

coco where you pressing alt+A?

[supple vapor]

def not

[trim anchor]

alt A?

[young jacinth]

@desert sky @quick kelp

[trim anchor]

im never winning a fucking tournament round

even if i get skill and a favorable matchup

[quick kelp]

it hadn't been yet, it most likely wouldn't have been

[trim anchor]

my bad luck always fucks me over

[tacit nacelle]

it happens to me if I have a weapon selected, am turning left and press alt to lock pip

[trim anchor]

bruh

how come NOBODY told me that this can happen

[quick kelp]

i'd recommend changing hotkey

[supple vapor]

its a base setting

[trim anchor]

thats not even fair in the slightest

[supple vapor]

ive changed it a while ago

[trim anchor]

i lose a tournament to THIS

[quick kelp]

i would have expected it to come up at some point in usual gameplay

[trim anchor]

actually outrageous

[supple vapor]

your not out?

[quick kelp]

there's a loser's bracket, you've still got a shot

[trim anchor]

losers bracket

[supple vapor]

yea

[trim anchor]

my goal for the past year

[desert sky]

meow

[trim anchor]

has been to win at least ONE winners bracket round

i still havent done that

this is so fucking retarded oh my fucking god

[supple vapor]

you really shouldnt have ffed

you can win that off rod / your last shot

/ ion storm

[trim anchor]

im so pissed

[supple vapor]

very winnable vs cy who had like 2 cannons and an ebs module

and cy def wasnt obligated to re there

[trim anchor]

well i didnt htink so at the time

[undone zinc]

i had no chance

[trim anchor]

given that my nukes kept on randomly leaving their launchers

[supple vapor]

i would have taken the re tho in your spot lol

bc i think coco was winning

by a lot

[trim anchor]

im never winning a tournament round

[undone zinc]

well i thought that if someone's hotkeys messed up then thats their fault and they shouldve ironed it out already

[trim anchor]

my long term goal was to get champion role in main server

but i cant even win a single winners bracket round

[undone zinc]

stfu mate

[supple vapor]

i agree completly i just mean i think a re benifits you more

[undone zinc]

theres monthly tourneys

you will win

[trim anchor]

yeah thats pretty fucking funny

how many tournaments do you think ive been in

[supple vapor]

chilllll

[trim anchor]

ive attended one nearly every month since december last year

[trim anchor]

you can see why im pissed right

[undone zinc]

this mindset is a massive detriment

chill man

dont get so upset

[trim anchor]

because an obscure keybind setting chooses to bite me in the back

[quick kelp]

yes

[trim anchor]

AS IM ABOUT TO WIN A TOURNAMENT ROUND

MY FIRST

[undone zinc]

it was bo3

[trim anchor]

💀

[supple vapor]

no?

[trim anchor]

he said it was bo1

[supple vapor]

it was not XD

[trim anchor]

two other times in the same stream

[undone zinc]

what

[supple vapor]

bo1

• losers bracket

[quick kelp]

it's best of 1

[undone zinc]

i swear it was bo3

damn ok

[trim anchor]

yall can see how fuckign demoralizing this is right

[quick kelp]

yes

[trim anchor]

my dream for the past year has to win a single tournament round

[undone zinc]

yes

[quick kelp]

however, you need to remember to keep calm

you could have won that if you hadn't forfeited

[undone zinc]

wouldve

[quick kelp]

@young jacinth i lost connection?

[supple vapor]

gg wp

[quick kelp]

can you restart the lobby?

[trim anchor]

it would have been a pipe dream

[young jacinth]

can you rejoin?

[quick kelp]

request's timing out

[trim anchor]

the nukes had a tendency to autofire while i was targeting them

[supple vapor]

ships pre disconnect

[quick kelp]

@young jacinth i'm just restarting the game, won't be long

dunno why that happened

[quick kelp]

to avoid this issue in future btw, just change your autofire hotkey

[trim anchor]

okay cool
so what other obscure settings am i not aware of that will cook me in a tournament seemingly out of nowhere

[quick kelp]

i really don't know why it would have not come up in gameplay before now, real shame that you found out in a tourney

[quick kelp]

i can't think of any

[supple vapor]

oh this is a cool match up snow and theta were running it in normal games

[tacit nacelle]

do you usually have your nukes selected coco?

[trim anchor]

sometimes yes, sometimes no

i select all nukes when targeting enemy parts

and i use my segmented nukes hotkeys (4 and 5) in specific scenarios, like when i need to conserve nukes

[tacit nacelle]

also could be because of cy having multiple ships you where pressing alt more often

[supple vapor]

i have also rebound my lock ship in pip key

to avoid the + alt combos

[trim anchor]

well yeah that sure works when ur aware that alt + a toggles auto fire

which i sure as fuck wasn

t

[supple vapor]

krill issue

[trim anchor]

that never came up before though

i didn't even know that was a thing

at this point there might as well be a hotkey that lets you self destruct a ship in a pvp match

with no confirmation

[young jacinth]

@tacit nacelle @undone zinc

[quick kelp]

@desert sky yeah alterance has a bit of a different ion core layout that's better at longer ranges and less prone to self-destructing, it's also wider for a bit more torque and has more armour on the sides

[supple vapor]

mb i left bc you pinged em

[young jacinth]

np you were right

[quick kelp]

overall slightly better against both avoiders and traps, which added up

[desert sky]

Frankly I think it was bad faith of me to say your TB is a waste

[supple vapor]

morb was the move there morb ignores 2 tb

[quick kelp]

i still have thicker rear and side armour than usual ions and good damage

[supple vapor]

theta all ined one and did what i thought would happen

[supple vapor]

yea ofc

[desert sky]

Look I wanted to showcase my pretty ship, not win

[supple vapor]

it is a cool trap

[quick kelp]

morbs are pretty good against me, but not exactly a hard counter

[supple vapor]

COCO YOU WON BY FORFEIT

lets goooo

[desert sky]

It won once, and I saved the recording so I can put it in a video. Because I like seeing it when it work

[quick kelp]

fair and thanks for the win lol

[supple vapor]

yea i think its better than the traps i dunno tho

[supple vapor]

clipped

[desert sky]

It won against Erosion and I was expecting to be rusty at missile orbiters

Honestly I don't regret my choice

[trim anchor]

yeah i noticed

[supple vapor]

then you made the right choice given your information

[quick kelp]

yeah it was a good call for snow

i really didn't know which way that'd go

[supple vapor]

mung got the troll ship

[tacit nacelle]

wha

[quick kelp]

i think one of the main deciding factors was that i wasn't waiting for snow to setup so i didn't give them enough time to separate and get good flanking angles

[supple vapor]

its just unconventional is all lol

altho i think your favored with it

[desert sky]

@quick kelp Actually I just got a genuis idea
Alternating boosts. Might be enough to flank, not too much to run out and die

This is just a theory though, but I am getting the setup ready

[quick kelp]

alternating boost could be good yeah

[desert sky]

This image doesn't lie, I had side thruster going full blast (for rts this is full blast) & it wasn't enough to flank you

[supple vapor]

holy mung nuke line

[young jacinth]

ok now

[quick kelp]

@tacit nacelle critical hit nukevolley

[supple vapor]

nuke line graced by god

[quick kelp]

perfectly bonked all 4 launcher modules

[young jacinth]

@supple vapor @desert sky

[desert sky]

If anything, I should've activated the forward boost on the second ship earlier and the side boost on the first one. But I think I would have died once it ended hence why I risked it

[quick kelp]

you played good there snow

[desert sky]

Already? Don't you have a full winner bracket to cover?
Let me step down from Devloper mode then

[undone zinc]

that was the best nuke volly i have ever seen @tacit nacelle

absoloutely beatiful

[young jacinth]

I go by the numbers on the bracket

[quick kelp]

@young jacinth the 2-sided ship is because it's a collab, so it uses fish's paint on one side and bread's on the other

[desert sky]

Oh sorry I had not noticed

[undone zinc]

i completely underestimated mungs speed

[quick kelp]

the long ice cube is an easily unexpected ship

it's deceptively effective

[undone zinc]

yeah

i thought i had that one

then BAM

[tacit nacelle]

it goes 120 now after the mrt buff

[undone zinc]

beautiful nuke volley

[quick kelp]

faster than my ions

[undone zinc]

which i couldnt even respond to cause my morb turns like a boat

[tacit nacelle]

but I was scared because I couldn't outmaneuver the missiles like I could before rampdown

[undone zinc]

its going to be like midnight by the time my losers bracket match happens isnt it

[zinc quiver]

yeah its strong fs

[royal gust]

Btw gg again Theta

[undone zinc]

i might as well go play total war or smthn

[royal gust]

I was kinda expecting to fight a chunky TB ion rammer and thought the maneuverability would be good

[quick kelp]

it would have been a much closer match against alterance

and you'd've probably won against inexorable though not sure

[trim anchor]

wait a min, the match rn is fish vs snow

[zinc quiver]

snow

[trim anchor]

did i miss my losers bracket round??

[quick kelp]

no, plaus is doing things in a weird order

[trim anchor]

oh good

[granite river]

plau

[trim anchor]

i was downstairs getting tea for myself

[quick kelp]

i think you're next up

[trim anchor]

bet

[zinc quiver]

very winnable for snow actually

[quick kelp]

aye

[zinc quiver]

uffff that targeting

rod kill nice

[quick kelp]

btw @young jacinth you can hit backspace to reset camera rotation, no need to click on map

[zinc quiver]

@supple vapor you almost sold,

that cr was bout to die

[real bay]

its time...

makke or break this

[trim anchor]

https://tenor.com/view/lebron-lebron-james-lbj-king-james-prime-lebron-gif-4216673509629730534

[young jacinth]

@real bay @trim anchor

[quick kelp]

rooting for you coco (no offence rapid)

[trim anchor]

lmao

[desert sky]

By the way I picked a spinner spesifically because I knew Fish wasn't trained against it

[zinc quiver]

how are you supposed to know that

[granite river]

That’s a great idea

[quick kelp]

looks good for coco

[supple vapor]

):

[supple vapor]

yea i need to practice tbr vs spinners

did not have my feet under me for a bit there

• how do i lose rail off start vs a spinner

[inland lagoon]

whos winning

[zinc quiver]

me

[inland lagoon]

is he

please tell me he isnt

[supple vapor]

plaus / mung

[zinc quiver]

im not even in

[inland lagoon]

ah

[quick kelp]

plaus or me

[inland lagoon]

thank god

[supple vapor]

lotta games left

[zinc quiver]

plaus or fish

[supple vapor]

mb mb i just assumed plaus auto wins all matches i didnt even see who he was vsing

gl tho

[desert sky]

I haven't seen anyone making a true coreless spinner for the past two years, asides from me. I have the monopoly of who learn how to fight and I don't recall fighting Fish
Most spinners are spinner+squib assymetrical traps(?) and those hardcounter Tb rails. It's not worth learning a hard counter unless you are the best known TB rail pilot at the time spinner+squib took off and are actively trying to prove that the matchup is not an hardcounter because it's blurry

[quick kelp]

it's between me and plaus to go through to fight mung

it's probably going to be plaus

but i have a slight chance

[desert sky]

I don't know, mind games I guess

[supple vapor]

cancer paint would be very good for this match up

[zinc quiver]

spinning cancer pain uff

[supple vapor]

i think spinner was the move there

tho

pick wise

[zinc quiver]

holy stall

guy has 1 ion left

lmao

[desert sky]

I doubt you have as much skill as Plaus to pilot the TB rail, I would've picked the morbiter if you had no side nukes

[quick kelp]

rapid now playing an ion squib

[desert sky]

I slay TB rails with my orbiter usually

[granite river]

amazing

[desert sky]

Based Rapid

[supple vapor]

i think i win that with high dps tbr

dunno tho

[zinc quiver]

agreed you do

[young jacinth]

@quick kelp

[zinc quiver]

unless snow has like crazy armor placement

[desert sky]

I do

[supple vapor]

you wanna test it?

[quick kelp]

@trim anchor well played, good control of the rammer

[desert sky]

Oh I would gladly but please let me fricking record that one game

[supple vapor]

sure

[zinc quiver]

would like spectate when yall do it

[desert sky]

Just, that first then I'm to you~

[trim anchor]

thx thx

[supple vapor]

ahh your recording the other game rn kk

[inland lagoon]

8x speed duel

wtf

[zinc quiver]

not real

[supple vapor]

just bad image

[zinc quiver]

clickbait

[supple vapor]

not real

[trim anchor]

so fish has his own spinner squib

[supple vapor]

but i dont play vs it

ever

[trim anchor]

i would forgive you for overlooking that yeah

bc he very rarely plays it

[zinc quiver]

uffff

rip theta unless he does crazzzyyyyy piloting

[supple vapor]

no hes dead

[trim anchor]

well, building one and playing one allows you to understand its strengths and weaknesses well

[granite river]

what’s the matchup?

[supple vapor]

no you need piloting experince vs it

[granite river]

bandwidth issue can’t watch

[zinc quiver]

rammer with tbs vs tb rail

[granite river]

oooooof

hardcounter

[zinc quiver]

yeeaaah

[trim anchor]

but theta has his 2tb variant

so he has a chance

[granite river]

i love theta’s tb ion but that’s just not enough

[zinc quiver]

no? makes it worst

[supple vapor]

hes dead

[trim anchor]

really?

[zinc quiver]

you want more thrust not tbs

[granite river]

tb pull < tb push

[trim anchor]

yeah i see it now

[supple vapor]

10 er would be better in that

match up

only chance is initial ram lock

[granite river]

i might try remaking theta’s ship with mrt instead to see if it can meet the thrust requirements

[trim anchor]

thats going to be very hard logistics

i wish you luck

[granite river]

yippie

[young jacinth]

@supple vapor @undone zinc

[zinc quiver]

tbr mirror?

real?

[quick kelp]

it makes me slightly better if i don't get a ramlock but makes ramlocking harder, overall worse

[tacit nacelle]

theta you could have tried cutting your armor

[granite river]

that would be fun

[undone zinc]

oh crap

[supple vapor]

id run a tbr mirror here

[quick kelp]

don't have stuff set up for that but i could have tried

[undone zinc]

i didnt expect it to be this quick

[quick kelp]

i have armour hooklets on this ship anyway, can help ram without hooks

[tacit nacelle]

you don't need special setup

[granite river]

will plaus win his own tournament again

[undone zinc]

probably

[zinc quiver]

yeah you only need to aim ur prismes

[undone zinc]

shit im loading into the game

its taking ages

[quick kelp]

there wasn't much i could do for that match, was just trying to get to the cloud first so plaus couldn't hooksnipe but he was closer

[zinc quiver]

mung did it on me a few times

[granite river]

plaus i dare you to play the first round of the final with a mining laser orbiter

[zinc quiver]

sabotaging

[young jacinth]

I cant

I dont ahve the ship in my selection

[supple vapor]

not a submited ship

[granite river]

Noooooooo

[supple vapor]

yea

[tacit nacelle]

you do have ship assign privileges though..

[granite river]

host abuse for comedy purposes

[royal gust]

I really am gonna make a concerted effort to win the next tournament, gotta grind the TB rail micro lol

[granite river]

Go crazy

[zinc quiver]

do the tb rail duel bootcamp with me and fish trust

[royal gust]

For reference here's what I submitted this time around

[granite river]

avoider c:

[royal gust]

I'm probably gonna take you up on that

Very first match of the stream is that ship

[undone zinc]

instant ff

[zinc quiver]

???

[royal gust]

I'll need to strip the side armor, and retool the thrust. But I really think that avoider has promise

[quick kelp]

my ship lineup for the tourney

so far i've used the railmorb once and alterance twice

[zinc quiver]

HOLY FISH SELL

[royal gust]

"I cast spin"
-Theta 2024

[quick kelp]

fish throwin the tourney

[quick kelp]

minor piloting mistake (your ship is now backwards)

[inland lagoon]

fish demoted on fight club for that

[granite river]

oh god what happened

fish did you lose

[zinc quiver]

fish decided to hug a red cloud and lost an mrt

[granite river]

feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh

[quick kelp]

still going well though

[granite river]

go cy!!

[quick kelp]

2 modules down on cy's morb

[zinc quiver]

if Cy has good dmg control he may win

if they both do

fish wins i think

[granite river]

cy is they btw

[trim anchor]

oh

i did not know that actually

[zinc quiver]

nooooooooooooooooooooo

[trim anchor]

my bad if i have referred to them with he/him in the past 😭

[zinc quiver]

rip

rock as always

[trim anchor]

rough

[granite river]

the rock provides

[quick kelp]

@supple vapor GG, impressive piloting with a nozzle down

[zinc quiver]

rock mvp

[young jacinth]

@quick kelp @trim anchor

[supple vapor]

erm

[undone zinc]

mrt:

[trim anchor]

here we go

[undone zinc]

being cancer

as always

[granite river]

yippie!!!!!

[zinc quiver]

red cloud hugger

[granite river]

black friday was 2 days ago bud now was NOT the time

[supple vapor]

im only in that hard situation bc of mrt

[undone zinc]

fym

[supple vapor]

losing 40 + ms and so much agility

bc of how the nozzles work

[undone zinc]

literally makes no difference

[supple vapor]

we ah should have gone through the electron cloud

[supple vapor]

a down side of mrt is the nozzles being a weakpoint

[granite river]

was fish using an ul nuke orbi?

[supple vapor]

yer

4 nozzle

still based

[zinc quiver]

full mrt

[granite river]

oh yeah that’s easily winnable a nozzle down lol

[undone zinc]

lmfao not really 'weak' if you just ignore literally everything

[granite river]

and a hardcounter if you aren’t

[supple vapor]

i literally hard counter you

you have no agility / mines

[granite river]

^^

[undone zinc]

i had no ship

in my lineup

[supple vapor]

both of which eat me alive now

[granite river]

aux mines at least help a bit

[undone zinc]

that remotely has a chance

[zinc quiver]

tb rail

[desert sky]

Anyone remembers slowking/joke

[supple vapor]

tbr vs morb lobby up

[zinc quiver]

kk

[undone zinc]

who wants to go back to classic

[granite river]

my damn teammate was down a CR

Hey, nicely played Cy

Tournaments are hard

[zinc quiver]

coco cooking up

[undone zinc]

not really??

[granite river]

tournaments are hard

[undone zinc]

i either threw or shouldve just ffed on spawn

[young jacinth]

@supple vapor

[granite river]

never ff in a tournament

ever

anything can happen

[supple vapor]

^ i had 2 shots left

[undone zinc]

outcome wouldve been the same

[zinc quiver]

good mine timing from coco

[undone zinc]

but eh

ig

[granite river]

in the score? maybe, but it shows not only that you were determined to fight but that your opponent could make a mistake

and fish did! it seems like you almost won, and by all logic it should not have been that close. more importantly, now you know what you have to do to improve for that specific fight

ul nuke orbiters aren’t going anywhere, unfortunately

you can do this, cy

you are more than capable

[quick kelp]

noooooo coco laggeded out

[trim anchor]

L disconnect

[supple vapor]

Ez

[zinc quiver]

ddosing in a tourney? smh

[young jacinth]

@tacit nacelle

[quick kelp]

the one rail disrespect shot

[trim anchor]

unfourtunate, gg

[supple vapor]

gg

[trim anchor]

i ramped down for too long

[supple vapor]

crawlin my way back from losers after round one plaus loss

[supple vapor]

yea your dead either way tho

[trim anchor]

really?

[supple vapor]

logi cut + open side

yea

[trim anchor]

morbiters counter tb rail

[trim anchor]

oh yeah

[supple vapor]

no lol

not those morbs

[trim anchor]

i wasn't sure where you were shooting

i didnt know that you could even shoot down my side

(you gotta teach me how to do that with tb rail after this tournament btw)

[supple vapor]

shrimple unshielded tbr is better

[trim anchor]

lmao

no seriously

[supple vapor]

only worse match up is nuke diag

bc your so so slow

[trim anchor]

bc i dont know how to disarm other tbr's launchers

[supple vapor]

wym?

my launcher in that are literally on ai control + center targets qued

[granite river]

are u wondering how to kill the opposing launchers

[undone zinc]

they are the only thing that actually gets me annoyed in this game

which is

annoying

lol

[granite river]

you can annoy them back by adding mines

[young jacinth]

@supple vapor

[quick kelp]

@tacit nacelle gg

[quick kelp]

plaus remember to update bracket

[trim anchor]

yeah

[tacit nacelle]

Oh my god I did NOT think that would happen

[granite river]

personally i don’t even try to explicitly target them, i just go through them to the ERs if my opponent overrotates

[trim anchor]

but ppl do do this consistently

when i play tb rail mirrors against ppl like fish, they usually prioritize the nukes first (somehow)

[granite river]

i’d ask fish when he’s done with the tourney then

[zinc quiver]

rng blessed plaus

wow

[trim anchor]

plaus wins again

[quick kelp]

jesus that did not go well for fish

[trim anchor]

yeah that was rly sad

[quick kelp]

pretty much everything that could go wrong did

[trim anchor]

and this is my point about slicing every ounce of redundancy on hard to play archetypes

[supple vapor]

so dumb

[trim anchor]

"just pilot good bro" what happens when you make a mistake, you cant play like a computer 24/7

[young jacinth]

@tacit nacelle

[supple vapor]

so so so dumb

[trim anchor]

i feel ya

[supple vapor]

?

[trim anchor]

^

[quick kelp]

see if you had 2tb on the ulnuke you could have gotten off the rock

[supple vapor]

its not redundancy that lost me that

[supple vapor]

not even

i couldnt see it

to target it

[quick kelp]

mouse tb

[supple vapor]

like rocks on cloud edge is soooo dumb

[quick kelp]

but yeah

[supple vapor]

i thought it was plaus trollin me initially

[trim anchor]

rocks should be visible in hydrogen stroms

[quick kelp]

that was very not a fun way to lose

[trim anchor]

agreed

[supple vapor]

yea ill make a dev post pls change walt pookie post later

[trim anchor]

i mean i got tilted for something that was my fault
i would go completely ballistic if that was how i lost

[supple vapor]

well i won a lot at least

[quick kelp]

you did good fish

god just doesn't let you beat plaus

[supple vapor]

plaus used his 5 g waves to summon a rock there

[granite river]

they should be visible at a longer range at least near the edge

[supple vapor]

smh

[supple vapor]

yea at a minimum

[tacit nacelle]

YEEESSSSSS

[quick kelp]

@tacit nacelle GG

@young jacinth aren't you out because you came from loser bracket?

oh wait bo3

nvm

[supple vapor]

if plaus wins this bo3 they run another

[quick kelp]

yeah

[granite river]

Go mung!!!!!!!!

[trim anchor]

yeahh i hope mung wins

[granite river]

Take down the moderator

[trim anchor]

lmao

[granite river]

I can’t ban him

[trim anchor]

holy fuck mung is actually winning
