I've beaten you in hysteria in my 4th game of this year (I was never an experienced hysteria player before, either). You can claim it was a funner and we were just messing about, we were, but fact remains, it would have never happened in Bng, roper or roperace.
That's the most dumb thing i've ever seen you say, really lol, thanks for that I guffawed !
*** Edit: Oh, and, a guy called melbo (dunno if alias or not, seems innocent enough) completely owned me in a funner with a 2 bar blue wind LG awesome plop shot... It was awesome lol, wait, BnG must be flawed then.... Pfft, as if
Shit happens lol. ***
Hysteria is SO crucial at times, you can lose by missing 1 turn, keeping your accuracy and consistency throughout the whole game isn't easy, this is something you are not good enough at in WA, if you were, you would understand where I am coming from and realise you are wrong.
Actually talking about a "funner" we played and using it as an example of competitive gameplay, regardless of scheme is just downright hilarious and unbelivable.
You're just playing devil's advocate because you love the scheme. With your worms knowledge and experience failing to grasp how hysteria's nature as a scheme makes its learning curve mediocre when compared to other league scheme is totally contradictory, but then again, you don't appear to be reasonable anymore.
I only started enjoying Hysteria because of it's similarities to BnG, I then fell in love with it because I realise how much skill is involved at top level, and I am good at that.
Take a bunch of people who have never played computer games in their life.
Take a bunch of people who have been playing WA for around 10 years or more, who by now are generally good "all-round" players who are average or better at all classic schemes, but don't specialise in any particular scheme, for example, they will more than likely always lose a Bo5 set against the best players of each scheme.
Take a bunch of people who specialise in each individual scheme, the players who beat the best all-rounders at their focused scheme, but tend to lose most others.
Let's imagine the scenario where this was all official, and the games etc were all professional, no avoiding, set number of games vs all players etc, can practise as much as they want, in their spare time, take the people who haven't played any computer games in their life, make some of them play all 8 TuS classic schemes competitively without specifically focusing on any single scheme, make the rest pick 1 scheme they favor and only play this scheme against the top players of that scheme.
In one or 2 years time, all the "noobs" who played all 8 schemes will probably be just as good an all-rounder as that type of person who has been playing for 10 years.
In one or 2 years time, the players who focused on single schemes will dominate that scheme against all the all-rounders, and more importantly, people like you ropa, who don't have the passion to focus on the scheme, regardless of how lucky you get, in sets of Bo5, they will destroy you almost everytime, and they will be competing 50/50 with the other top players of that scheme, same goes for ALL schemes...
Seriously man, why can't you people think outside your little boxes for once?
Bear in mind, if the whole world was playing WA, my point would make more sense.
There are weird people on Earth, such as myself, who takes things to ridiculous lengths to become better at some things than everyone around them, and haters can't touch them
So far only few people come to mind that fit this, off the top of my head, Me for BnG, Mablak for TTRR, Anubis for Warmers, and I think probably that Dario guy (am I right?) for Intermediate, and Cueshark for SheepRacing, and actually, ropa for aliasing lol, and Anubis again for *cough* clanhopping
