So Jerome what ship do you play again? I can make you good at any ship that isn't terrier :x

[phata$$]

For all hockey/speedball/testicularity, go into your settings and change shift-ctrl for repel to ctrl and change what was ctrl to shift-ctrl. The idea here being that you do not have to let go of shift to shoot the puck/ball at high speed. This is typically the magic you see taking you to pound town when hz peeps ?go tw.

WTF REALLY?! Of course! I'm such a fool. I need to re-install this shit now.

spider, though it seems odd that you wouldn't be good at terrier (unless you mean "good" in terms of being able to get alot of kills)

yesterday i found the bigbullets file and replaced my old bullets graphics (which i thought was the bigbullets gfx but it was something else) and it's made a world of difference. i've also tried slowing down - usually when im in spider ill be moving forwards or backwards at almost all times, but the last few games i've played, i slowed myself down a bit, and in doing so i could take in the situation much easier, and then choose a direction to push with targets already picked out. moving slower also makes it far easier to turn and meet enemies, and by slowing my game down i've noticed a significant improvement in the 1v1 battles. and in terms of mental exertion, it is far less taxing haha

it's all coming togetha~!

I've tried terrier a few times, I just kind of find it boring cause I like to *pew pew*.

All the graphics hacks and so on are not that important in my opinion. I used a custom bullet set for years (which I edited myself back in 1997) but then never bothered to reinstall it when I got a new computer. All in all, being good in subspace is:
1) Situational awareness - basically in the simplest sense, only fight battles you know you can win for sure. If you're going to rush into a room massively outnumbered, you're going to die so don't do it (caveat: if you know the people you are rushing are all low on energy because of a bomb hit or whatever). If you're going to go one on one with someone don't fight if you're at half energy thinking that somehow you'll magically hit all your bullets and they'll miss all of theirs, because unless everything goes off perfectly... you're dead.

2) Don't stand in obviously bad areas - There's certain areas of the map which are prone to getting shot at. A lot of 'bad' players tend to linger around these areas, while 'good' players usually know these areas and lob bullets/bombs into them to get easy kills.

3) Corollary of #2 is shoot into areas where people tend to linger. Even if you blindly shoot, you will get kills. The only exception are those weird upper flagroom shots where you have to perfectly lined up to do it. Those are generally not worth your time because they are hard to set up, and you don't help your team.

4) It is more important to live than to die. Most people don't realize this. Not dying doesn't mean hiding in a corner and not shooting. It means trying your best to actually live because it takes a lot longer to respawn and get back to where you were than to recharge. A lot of people play subspace as if getting the kill is the most important thing they can do. This includes suiciding to try and get 2fers and so on. While it's kind of fun to do so unless there's exactly 2 enemies left (or one of them is a terrier) then you're wasting your effort.

5) Concentrate, concentrate, concentrate. The only way to be really good at anything in life is to try your best all the time. Any time you are playing 'for fun' (which generally means not caring) you are degrading your skills. If you want to actually get better, everytime you play, your mindset should be that you want to win and play better and better. Unless you do this, bad habits will be too hard to avoid and you will never get better.

your last point just doesn't work for me, epi. in real life, yes, i'll always try my best. in spaceships, the more i concentrate the more i fail. it's when i just relax and have some fun that i start to play much more smoothly.

and weed.

can't forget the weed.

also, how did I get involved in the spew?
