Title: Back From Koa Duel Tournament In Native (With Video)
Post by: GK_Leonidas on July 26, 2011, 11:26:23 pm
Took a bit of a hiatus from crpg, because the The tournament was in Native on the speed fastest.
Crpg and Native are too different animals, couldn't adequately prepare playing crpg.

Got to finals against Bks_Rhade, things didn't go my way, won't get into it, 5 - 7 Rhade, good fights.


Took 2nd Place.

Will be back on NA Servers by Friday.

Whats so fifferent in Native dueling apart from the speed difference?

Try it. Native fastest dueling is pretty fun. Don't underestimate the difference the speed makes.

- The animations are different I think. The 2h stab animation in native is greased lightning compared to cRPG, not even counting the fastest vs. medium difference.

- All duels are with very low armor (tunics), so hits are more lethal.

- All fighters have equal stats and wpf and whatnot.

Welcome back Leo, congratulations on placing 2nd. Rhade is incredibly capable, and very much at home on fastest settings.

Bear in mind there's another Leonidas running around xD

He's not that great. I imagine your name is being soiled right this second.

there's like three people named Leonidas other than the real GK one running around at the bottom of the scoreboard.

To be honest a  last minute rule change did me in more than anything else, but like I said Its over, I'm moving on.

I've already made my statement on your "last minute rule change screwed me over" excuse.
And you made quite a fool of yourself on TW forums complaining about it.

Welcome back regardless, the more the merrier I say.  :?

Has it ever occurred to you that I have bested him in open field conditions plenty of times in the run up to the final and I might know what I am talking about . I am sorry that your opinions might have been skewed by his many lap dogs and slaves he has in native and on the TW forums, but since you have never fought me before you have no concept of how good I am or what I am capable of . Please lets just leave this alone and move on.

i dunno if you read my post on the taleworllds thread but i don't understand those guys over there acting like you can't duel outside of a tournament. i said "just rematch it" or something to that effect and some dude replies saying i'm insulting the tournament organizers

like, you and rhade want to know who is the better duelist, unless your only motivation is a title i don't see why you wouldn't rematch.

Post by: GK_Leonidas on July 27, 2011, 01:58:50 am
I would have done it, if Rhade agreed to it, but like I said its over. I have a few vocal haters in Native. You see I don't belong to the old Beta club. I started playing a year ago, and learned from the best and progressed a bit to quickly for most peoples liking. There apparently is a established hierarchy or Old boys club in Native, I have kind of upset that balance. I am what I am, but anyway time to have some fun in crpg land and forget all my native troubles if Coy with allow me.

I only fight in melee using chamber fists and closed eyes, clearly I am an expert in all things related to melee combat.

I give you a 0/10 for not having trypants.



Gl, hf!  :P

It did occur to me actually. Furthermore if my opinion was skewed in any direction it would be against Rhade (lecherous, perverted, asshole that he is). I simple stand by my point that if you can only fight in an open field then your really have no room to talk about being better than anyone. Anyway, I don't come to the forums to fight, well usually I do, but this leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I'm glad there will be another skilled player to fight and I'll leave it at that.

let's duel more leonidas.  I think we go even in crpg for win/loss currently in duel. I don't know if I was dueling you on a randomly named STF character or not, though.
I liked fighting you, you didn't take risks, you don't gamble much at all. It was nice, after about 30 seconds of block-strike-block I start gambling chambers & double swings, etc.
IDK, I dislike the 5 minute+ duels I participated in along time ago where you're just waiting for the other guy to make a wrong block. Gambling certain tricks spice it up even if they backfire on me.

well, if we consider that the rest of the tournament seems to be focused on equity (equal stats, equal gear) it seems silly to place the fighters in anything other than an open field

I didn't say I could only fight in the open coy, I was up 3 - 0, what I said was that I didn't get a chance practicing in the ring, I am used to using more space. I had to adapt on the fly.  I am quite capable in a closed area, the problem is that I am not used to it and I didn't practice for it. At the last moment the tournament manager called it to be in the ring, when 99% of my practice battles and 100% of my tourney battles had been on the outside of the ring. Like I said lets just drop it.

All fights are first to 7 wins

Semi Finals vs Prt Beer

Comments = allowed to play my game

Finals vs Bks_Rhade

Comments = stifled by the ring kept getting wall pwned most of my quick deaths came by getting stuck or trying to escape the wall. He became smart and started to use the wall to come back.  Would have practiced for it if I had known the fight was going to be in there.  Sometimes things just don't go your way.

You guys be the judge and you decide I am moving on.

Native duels at their finest. Wear a rag, take the longest shaft possible, backpedal the hell out of your opponent.
Seeing those made me glad I pretty much stopped playing Native more than a year ago.

Same running competition, yet limited by the ring barriers.

You play a little different when every potential blow of your opponent can kill you. The margin of error is very small. One mistake and your dead. Native and crpg have their pros and cons, I like them both and appreciate them for their differences. Although in both native and crpg, I am more of a defensive player who has outbursts of aggression.

What is your main character, I know those who can go even with me by name.

Cyranule(1 hander), Galgorath(Steel Pick), Dan_ATS(longsword or maybe it was Danish) Allers(Longsword) ,(Sorry if I left someone out these are people I  used to fight on the duel server) this was before I left, after  playing in fastest for so many weeks. When you come back to medium, people seem to be swinging in slow motion or noticeably slower, only lasts for about a day, till your body acclimates back to  medium.

Honestly I am tired both of native and crpg duels. I would like to see "fastest" or at least ''faster'' speed crpg duels, then it will be fun for me  :)

Both those duels were in fastest. Swings speeds are increased significantly.

Leo fought rhade in an open field and still lost. Even so, the reason he lost in the ring is because all he literally does is backpedal. The only time you will ever catch leo advancing is when he tries to advance with his "seizure feint". 'sides this is the dude who condescendingly preaches of "playing like a shark" and "adapting to any situation". I saw neither of them things in that video.

Have you never seen a shark backpedal?

This is a known racist troll from native, who gets muted and banned on the TW forums on a consistent basis. He is also a chief hater of mine, probably because my skill level is so far beyond his at this point. He also happens to be apart of Rhade's Fan boys. Please leaving your trolling in the TW forums. Realize when I fought Rhade the first time I was transitioning to fastest from medium after  only about 30 minutes of practice, I was also under the impression the server was running in medium because it said so in the settings, I came to find out though it was running fastest because of a mod it had, that set it to fastest even though it said it was running medium (This is a well chronicled fact and it was settled months ago.) Please crawl back under your bridge, and realize that I have actually gained the respect of a lot of the NA Crpg community by the merits of my play. The community isn't as biased over here as it is in Native.

Leonidas, it is true that you backpeddle too much.  And it is why you lost in the ring, because you backed into the walls the entire time. Constructive criticism, you know.
