Best Player to ever play TW is...(opinion here)

[Bob (SRB)]

ok demonfaze has very good aim, just not as good as raspi

[PhaTz]

I didn't read any of the previous posts, but I think the best that had ev'r play'd is PriitK, cuz wit'out him, we would've stop'd play'n this game 3-4 years ago

Raspi has amazing aim if you can't dodge, but Demonfaze definately has better aim if you can dodge as the shots are better placed. I know this from fighting them both 1on1 and playing with them many times.

[Awesome]

bob probably cant dodge so he's perfect for fighting against demonfaze who will just assume he can dodge

[RednaZ]

Kinda hard to say who is actually the best so I'll just go with the people who made the most impact on me.

Javs:
- Psymorph. If anyone can get on your ass and not let you shake them off it's this guy ^^
- BBZ. Never seen thrust bombs like his

Wbs:
- Annul. One second you don't see him, the other second you're dead. Clean and fast.
- Desire. Kinda quit playing now but he was good ^^

And all time Hero is still Abyss. Little bit inconsistent but at his peak nearly unstoppable.

haha yea. Everytime i've played against demonfaze I can truthfully say that he has had trouble hitting me, while whenever raspi jumps out at me without me being completely prepared I'm usually dead. Except when I've gotten down to 1v1 against raspi he wasn't so godly

I've noticed that there seems to be a difference between pure skill and just knowing how to play this game and being a very smart player. - Bob (SRB)

I agree, their is a differenc between being a good team player, and being pure talent in a ship. - Kid Kaos


To break it down, out of noted players in this game there are more or less 2 types the way I break it down: good players, and successful players.

Successful players are the ones that do what they have to do to get a good record at the end of the game, to succeed in a match at getting a good ratio, etc. Sometimes it doesn't have to take a lot of in-game type of direct talent, just a lot of patience. MetalKid is good for this example. I got nothing against MetalKid, but his style doesn't take use of too much other than knowing how to position your shots on radar, dodging strays, and patience. But he can and often is really successful in the game, with good ratios, etc.

On the other hand, you have those that belong to the good players section, like Blood, who utilize more talent to perform direct hands-on techniques [cutting the butter with the knife] type shit to get stuff done in the game (getting kills, dodging stuff). - Sirius

I'm sorry but I feel I must interject here, you're pushing fucking keys not engaging in war,I agree there is some emotion and thought process that goes into the game but the level and depth you're talking about is far off from anything required to play this game, you think someone who has the ability to beat 90% of the Trench Wars population in a warbird duel like Ruby has more then five brain cells? When you try to relate this game to an actual heavy thought process event in life you just find ways to 're assure' yourself that what you're doing will work, it's in confidence. The true power in human nature lies in confidence, for if we reach for the moon we will finally get there. That's why you see guys that are total assholes being the best players, they key into their confidence and their able to build themselves up into a state where they cannot and will not die, this state although requires sometimes drugs or a high sense of will to clear your mind and do the job. Their usually egotistical and severely rude. Some people just don't have the time and effort to be that good, nor do they want to be labeled a great player because you're then are expected to do something and people put expectations on you.

[Awesome]

it just takes practice and yes, confidence.

if you play like you think you can defeat anyone, you probably will...as long as you dont get overconfident and just run into 1v3s or something (although there are a few players who can run into 1v3s frequently and still kill 1 or 2 and make it out alive)

And basing is for the lazy kids.. lol :up:

[Awesome]

or the ones who want ez wins vs. good squads

[Rogue]

lol...um this thread should be closed now...thnx :down:

[Ephemeral]

I wonder why no one ever considers a good player as one who;
- puts the squad ahead of his/her own interests
- shows up for every match and practice
- sits quietly on the bench to let other people play
- works hard to conducts themselves in a way that does not reflect badly on the rest of his squad
- shows squad loyality

Is it any wonder when we, as a community, keep 'rewarding' the people who only have game skills and then sit here and ask ourselves why things are the way they are?

Perhaps, just perhaps, we should have consider more in this thread than someone's ability to send a digital bullet across the screen.

You are treating this game way too seriously.

LOL

I was simply commenting on the fact that after 6 pages of posts, not a single person was considering any of the aspects I posted. I disagree with your cynical statement about me being too ‘serious’. What is probably closer to reality is that, being old as dirt, I tend to look at things from a different perspective. Being a decent person, even if it is in a on-line community, has value to me. Sorry if you think this is ‘too serious’. I don’t mind fucking around, I’m not some overly somber dude who is trying to make sweeping changes to the TW community.
If I can post a different way of looking at things and it helps a little bit, then what is wrong with that? Why is it that you have an issue with me trying to offer this perspective? Perhaps it could be that you have hardened to the 12 year old mentality that exists in these forums and the TW community? If you feel that being an inconsiderate dickhead is acceptable due to the anonymous nature of the internet, so be it. I happen not to feel that way.
