EAC 2014 - Smalltalk

[SPW]

Sure a perfect notching helps, but thats not all. You can change your tactic on anti-bng and then its almost useless. You also can watch plenty of Elites from Random00 without one single notched molotov or nade / zook.

Sure a little screen is an handicap. But the biggest factor is in your head. When you dont believe having a chance before the game started you probably will lose. And if I check some random replays a lot of games ending only with an one turn advantage.

So yea, notching on a small screen is hard. But other factors (technic, tactic, mental) are much more important.

1) I don't notch. I mean, I never calculated it or put a ruler on my screen or whatever you do to figure out how many clicks on the arrow u need to hit position X. Yet, that doesn't bother me.

2) What has the screen size to do with notching? If it's just mathematics (and it is), then you only need to do the same thing and same math with merely a different "screen coefficient" (lol).

[SPW]

Well, its harder. For example Random00 can do a 4.1 notch in the same screen and Joschi would have to scroll all that landscape 2 or 3 times. That makes it harder. Also its harder to count the steps when everything is so damn small. ^^

But again, you dont win a lot of elites only cause of being a notcher. And there is no 100% hit. Random00 maybe having a 95% hit, me maybe 80% (cause of my unsensible keyboard)  , Casso maybe 90%.

Casso's accuracy is definetly higher than mine. I never got really used to my current screen regarding notching.
But anyway, I also think that having a bigger screen / bigger resolution comes in handy when you notch a shot. But I find it even more important that you see a lot more of the map at once.

Yea, somehow it keeps your brain more organized that you don't have to scroll with your mouse. I generally also hit Shift + Scroll Lock to keep the screen at one position during most of the game.

So yea, notching on a small screen is hard. But other factors (technic, tactic, mental) are much more important.

Your technic is influenced by hardware. Try to fly a supersheep on a lower resolution. Smaller the screen, more difficult to fly a supersheep. Always the guy who has +1 option wins. The guy who knows to block the other one by a molotov, though he is on the other side of the map got +1 option. The delivered hardware is the base of your skills.

It is not the base, it is the outlet.

And here my promised pictures. 

[Ray]

That's quite something!

[WhiteRqbbit]

 
first time I see this

[Almog]

omg lol

[Crazy]

Oo Rabbit is that oldschool, didn't know. Cool pics SPW

[SPW]

yea, Rabbit is pretty oldsql.  That was about 10 years ago and it was the best way to find matches. Just click on "Fast Challenge" on a specific time and within few seconds you got your random opponent.

[Almog]

Can we predict who will win the prediction game? :]

[Casso]

The fact that I had seen many replays at least is proving useful in the prediction

It will be a close race.
