TS in the middle: A lesson we can all take from Xryn

Well,nice post bro.

BTW,his name is XRYN,not XYRN

 

not bad ) ts + nitro(2s cd ))

 

I would like to expand on this battle specifically and also go into very detail on my setup.

Firstly, the battle itself. In a situation that places a players mindset in a huddle, you have no breathing room to freely initiate something without avoiding the consequences. When i was playing, i knew my enemy's objectives and i knew mine and there is barely any time to think of risks and stand around. It's basically do or die and not even thinking before doing something is a very valid option in the fight. You always have to be open to risks and danger as well as being prepared for the worst. That is how you come out alive of a bloodbath like that. Skills and experience developed through time passing can influence individual instinct and potential to be succeeded.

From live experience, i let my fingers and instincts run on it's own advanced way. Obviously i still had kept the main objective in my head throughout that fight and never let it slip off my mind. There were lots of pressure during that game my arms were shriveled up and i could feel nothing. I was just looking at a screen and let the fingers, eyes and skill do the work.

Now for the setup, the reason for that this setup is very effective for me is that each item compliments for an item/ship's strengths and weaknesses. For instance, i run my grenade + flare + blast so my grenade assists with my blast cannon for extremely powerful and unpredictable damage whenever it is landed but since the grenade has a strict liability of hitting directly on a boat for quick fire damage burst, there is a flaw to it. My grenade maybe carry powerful burst and linger despite this the grenade requires higher skill cap to perfect. I can say this straight but i am not a master with the grenade and i am still practicing to this dare. Carrying flare however, compliments my blast cannon and grenade as if i end up missing my grenade, i have another incendiary source for my blast cannon to use.

Another example is carrying a nitro instead of another tesla shield. I dropped my other tesla shield because of the fact that it minimised my maneuverability for ship rotation. To address this, nitro has allowed me to become more agile, as well as covering for easy trades, distance and to suit my playstyle. It also excels when you have strong sense of awareness, you can nitro anywhere in any map without looking at where terrain or obstruction is. Seen in the replay, experience overtime can develop such a valuable skill. I only started playing a speedy enforcer build to compliment and adapt to Rovio's ship tuning update recently. It is to make up for that very particular cause.

The way that my items are arranged on my boat, is basically what i am mostly comfortable playing with. To me, specific according places where items must go isn't as important and shouldn't be really concerning. Whatever i or you feel you are playing with is most convenient i believe is the best choice a player can make. But i clearly memorise where my items are specfically situated, and they are right there when i know i need them. I only look down at my items to check reload times, other than that my focus is on the game.

Quoting and expanding on this, i quickly evaluate whether using either of these three items would benefit me. This practical is very situational, as you'll need to understand the benefits and outcomes while in a fast paced position. Stay focused on the battle while considering this.

Instead of this, it's actually more of..

(Support) + (Burst) + (Combo)

Flare Gun --> It is not an essential part of my kit, it is there as a support incase my grenade is not reliable.
Blast Cannon --> I have two ways to get incendiary, on top of this my other teammates who carry incendiary anyway.
Grenade --> Vital part of the combo chain, i can easily deal deal nearly 5k damage combined with Blast Cannon in under 3 seconds.

I would add two more points that i believe is important.

Target Sequencing and Item rotation

Target sequencing is a very important part of every game, to basically seek out the most priority player on the enemy team to improve your chances of winning. You see why players wanna take out fixers very early? This is the very basic straight-to-the-point reasoning behind so. Although sometimes my targeting sequence is very specific, it can also vary and change whenever a person feels like it. But normally the reason why i target a player are as follows.

1. You are an opportunity for a kill to put me forward in my objective.
2. You are a high priority target and i must destroy you otherwise you can potentially carry the game.
3. The player is lessening the odds of my chance of winning the battle.

Very specifically in this game, i did kill the fixer but afterward you should have noticed that i killed a shooter first instead of the yellow boat. I am creating multiple opportunities for kills at once so that i can have a much convenient way to winning the game. Overall, target sequencing is varied and indefinite but in the end, whoever you target is a step closer to winning your games.

Lastly, i am going to point out item selection. Most players in the game very much have pretty predictable and straight forward item rotations. But to manipulate my opponents into choosing the wrong moves, i can adjust my item rotation whenever it is required. This flaws the enemy into making easy mistakes and even cause a potential kill. Unlike double bubble enforcers who all they do is come out with shields and poke the enemy whenever they're activated, i tend to make sure that my opponents don't find any flaws with my ship's overall composition.

I hope this helped.

Hey,did that video above dissapeared?

 

I never deleted the video off of youtube..

After 30 minutes of scrolling down here is the replay i found the replay link.

It wasn't the music because it was copyright free. I checked the video it had said it was removed by the user (me) but i do not recall removing that video.

I will upload it here on this channel by the end of today. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG8VYAPZ_t42ROSRB0JO_mQ

 

Damn nicely played, I must say. One of the best replays I have ever seen

 

Thanks! ^^

 

Going a bit offtopic here, has anyone seen the endurance video on Gnu battling (can't remember name). There was a stun on Gnu and was capable of dying 1 shot by the other player with an excannon. That player, however, decided to not shoot him until the stun wore off and Gnu escaped and kicked the 2nd player's a$$ with far less health.

 

He thought i was going to die by flare gun but i lived on one tick by luck and went to take the match.
