HERO's BigFish vs Lyraeus's Dodonna the Oppressor

[HERO 842]

Is Hero compensating?

 

I compensate more with my ISD

[Lyraeus 4,759]

 

 

Is Hero compensating?

I dont know. He is really big on his AckbarBB and thinks that squadronless builds are not great so we shall see how I do. I am considering that Intel Officer on my TRC90. . . I am thinking of converting it to Jaina's

That went over your head so gracefully

Hmmm... tough choice....

 

On one hand, the MC80 is probably my favorite ship in this game, so it's always nice to see it get some play...

 

On the other hand, I prefer Dodonna over Ackbar....

 

If only I knew that DtO list, I could make a better decision, but since I never heard of it.... ever.... 

 

So, I guess I'll go with my guts and say......

 

...

 

Rebels should win this game!

I cant tell if people are teasing me about this or if they really mean it. . .

That's for you to find out!

I really hate having asbergers. . .

Teasing. Its now a forum joke that has no basis in reality anymore. It doesnt matter how much you talk about your lists, the joke will go on regardless.

Ok, I am fine with that. I just want to know. I can take teasing as long as I know otherwise it develops into a social anxiety which sounds stupid but I have no control over that.

Could not have said it better.

It's the best kind of teasing, in that its done with affection rather then to shame or wound.

And Lyr's list is a fun one to play against.  Did so in round 3 of the tournament. I'd love a rematch ... hint hint Lyr :-)

You can have one

 

I love this list but it makes me a raging Ahole late at night when I start making stupid avoidable mistakes. Well. . .I guess it does whenever I make stupid mistakes

<rant> I don't care if you make stupid mistakes. I think we all do. One thing I can't stand is when a player says that his/her mistakes were the reason the opponent won. People win and lose because of EVERYTHING that happened in the game. When you say that they only won because you made mistakes, or this game "was mine to lose", you disrespect your opponent and the game. </rant>

 

Personally I'm glad you guys are finally getting it on. I was at the point of "just shut up and do it" a few hundred posts back. You both sound like an old married couple. And I will be glad to see DtO in action again. It's always been a personal favorite of mine.

 

But I won't even field a guess on this one. I think both fleets have the potential to slay.   Please post the date and time. This may be a full gallery....

 

You can rant about it all you want. Have you ever had a game that was your game to lose? Where you had the game, knew you had the game but just did something that made it go down hill?

 

If not then I am not sure you can understand how it eats are you, how it can just rip you apart because in the end, it was your fault.

 

I ALWAYS assume that a player I don't know will play the game the right way, they wont make mistakes, and they will make all the right moves. This way I can plan for that and if they do mess up I can pounce on that. If they don't they played as anticipated and did a good job. To me a good job is a high compliment. 

 

I have had people play unexpectedly and dominate the game. ArmadaJim has done that, and that was AMAZING! That game had me making mistakes as well but I was in the unknown and that was fun! A frustratingly fun game where I learned new things. 

 

It is condescending, I know it is but that is how I think. I am not trying to demean my opponents or anything, that is just my mindset on it. 

 

Oh yeah, I've had plenty of those games. CNinja can attest to the fact that I have beaten myself plenty...

 

IN GAMES, YOU SICK ANIMALS!

 

I'm just saying that there is always at least two ways to look at something. Yes, you may have made the error that cost you the game, but brow-beating your opponent instead of talking about the game constructively does nothing but show poor sportsmanship. I believe this for any competitive game or sport.  

 

 

No mistake apart from blindly flying your ships off the table can cost you a game if your opponent doesn't take advantage of it.   I do get that initial reaction Lyr is talking about, but I always keep in mind to append any post match analysis of my errors to include my opponent capitalizing on it.   I have won a number of games making mistakes that were missed by my opponent.

I am going to make a Sato the Suppressor list now....

[Lyraeus 4,759]

That was my next list but Sato is EXPENSIVE! The cost to activate and such is just so high. . . it will depend on what those Headhunters cost.

[Red Castle 3,875]

Dibs on Madine the Exterminator!

There's both the cost of Sato, and then there's the Sato tax to keep his ability up, so it will probably change Ly's list quite considerably.

 

Ideally, YT-2400s can be taken because of their Rogue, good speed and 6 hull, but they're 16 points a pop.  I feel that when we looked at Sato, we all got super excited to welcome another damage-dealer to the Rebel ranks, but the more I look at him the more I think he will be one of the more list-challenging commanders to get right.  He likes Han, wants Tycho, but I'm not sure how much you can cater to his needs before you say F it, just taking Madine (or someone else).

I believe that HWK will be the way to go. They are only 12 pts a piece, have intel so they don't care about being engaged and counter 2. Only drawback is their speed 3.

I hit up Biggs so he can provide some pre-game interviews and post-match analysis

'Sup?

I want FFG to watch the first challenge that is outside a tournament!

[BiggsIRL 6,717]

I have tomorrow off, FYI. So I can make the pre-match happen at least. My new computer is... Meh. My old computer isnt repairable. So someone else will have to stream it, of you will all just have to watch on Vassal.

Yep, he looks like a Tarkin, where you build your good list and are ready to rock but then realize it's over 500pts

Its the cost of getting those shots.

As a Close Personal Friend of HERO, I have to say my money's on him.  I've watched him wreck kids at tournaments with this list, and it's a scary sight.  I've seen him go up against list that I thought for sure would punish his three activations and reliance on Ackbar, only to watch him 10-0 those lists.

 

HERO is a great player, and that goes beyond any list composition.  Don't sleep on him, boys; he's the real deal!
