We are planning to go far in clan league this year!
Lenshu has been going quite good. I play some games very well then others not so much lol. I'm not used to this playstyle so it'll take a bit more time getting used to but for the games I play well I do a lot better then how I previously played.
Nicejesus has been a pal for awhile and decided to apply a little while ago which we were very happy about lol
How have you been doing?
EDIT: you are a very experienced JudoFrac player right? I remember Krulls saying that you and him would play a bunch of JudoFrac back when he did
I'll speak very honestly despite it not being advantageous for competitive purposes. And this is the first time I'll go on record saying this:
It's a time waste to practice Judofrac. I knew coming into Clan League 2014, let alone 2015, that as an Alpha member I was the weakest of links outside of some known inactive players who weren't planning on participating. Anything TK related TIcux blows most players out of the water and we have BlueEvil. Anything aikido related I have the upmost faith in Imapirate's ability and Diamond's as well. Combine it with lenshu3ng where you have Winver, Diamond, TIcux, Odlov, you name it nearly every Alpha player is an unbelievable lenshu3ng player (especially Winver) and there was absolutely no way I would make a big impact in Clan League. But I care greatly about that competition, and I wanted to win one for myself for once, so I took it upon myself to learn Judofrac and play it relentlessly to be great at it and give some value to Alpha.
Here's what I learned: If you're good at grabbing mechanics, understand saves, these things that you pick up by dueling in ABD, that ability transfers over into Judofrac. A lot. On top of that: Judofrac has a word in it that's important- judo. It's luck based. When you only get 3 games or so of it in a league, you can't promise you'll win 3 of those games. You can't even promise you'll win 2. I LOST almost as much as I won. Arguably to players worse than me at the time. So if you're looking to improve in Toribash - you do it by playing mods that force you to learn the mechanics of Toribash as good as you can, and let it speak for itself in Judofrac. I might have actually played more Judofrac games than any player in Toribash, and yet was bested by other superior players who become superior by playing ABD and Lenshu3ng.
That's my humbling truth. I wish I learned it earlier, it took some clan mates of mine to help me understand that, and I'm a much better player for it now.
