I pick the Larva, not just because I made it but because the Fist has WAY too close an AI range and weird proportions, and I know from testing that the firehawk is too vulnerable. I'd also like to complement mtheninja. The plea for death is an almost stupidly good ship, and demonstrates the untapped...

The tie-breaker should be fine. I think the other one got deleted because it was 11 minutes and 5 seconds long and their max is 10, and they allow things up to 10:59, or some crap like that.

I'll see if I can get it up.

I know ASM, it wasn't that fair to your ship, and I'm sorry. However, if you weren't prepared for a tie-breaker then you should have given them more range or made one normal AI or something that could end the match! The old tie-breaker rules would never have ended the match, in all likelihood. Also,...

Tie-breaker rules were changed, because I was sick of the ineffectiveness of the old tie-breaking rules at actually breaking ties (it was very possible to go through a dozen iterations without resolving the problem). Ixranin Vs ASM Round 1 At first I thought Ixranin was crazy for making the legacy s...

I'm not sure I agree with you totally empty. Let's compare a 2-ship team and a 1 ship team. 1 ship is better at: -movement, which has consolidated spending as opposed to redundant points. -endurance, because usually a 1 ship will have less than 2 ships worth of weaponry and spend less on movement to...

Dual Duel Tourney: Middleweight Results topic

The Middleweight fighting has begun! Cruiser and Nothingness Vs. Crash and Burn The first match was Question Mark's Cruiser and Nothingness (A pairing of a large cruiser and a blank ship) versus the slow but steady duo of cruisers, Crash and Burn! Round 1 The nothingness is quickly dispatched, putti...

If boxy were a boss in this competition, he'd destroy every team, which is why the Burst Out is kind of scary.

ASM, I've only found two ways to beat boxy with 8 100 point ships: kamikaze and tachyon spammers. Are there any other decent ways?

That long-ranged blaster boat and the plasma boat did really well. 6 more similar to them, and the aeon would have gone down.

I'm going to guess at team Beta's future performance:

3-boss: win
aegis boss: lose
Fast boss: lose
GT: win
???: lose

And when will you combine alpha/delta?

Analysis Bonnie and Clyde by Empty The Clyde was fairly well-conceived as a mixture of toughness, mobility, and firepower. Unfortunately, the choice of blasters meant it could be offensively negated by PD. Also, the odd section choices and relatively low HP meant it was not as good a tank as intende...

Anyone here play Fraxy?

Anyone ever heard of Fraxy? It's kind of like BSF in concept (Ships fight ships), but totally different in play - a shoot-em-up based on reflexes whereas BSF is real time strategy. The thing that really makes them comparable though is its elaborate boss and scenario creators! The people who enjoy ma...

Why does this get stickied while the Dual Duel tourney languishes without sticky?

The neon light illusion's difficulty, I feel, will depend more on its speed than anything else. Against ASM's mockup, plasma was nearly worthless due to fast speed and lots of PD. Against a more firepower heavy, but less mobile ships, a wider variety of strategies would probably take it down. Also, ...

Can I expect ships from you, ASM?

Deadline is 25 hours. Remember that it's midnight my time.
