Schemes / Re: Consistency in TTRR
October 15, 2014, 09:07 PM
Kaleu,

For league TTRR, it doesn't matter how well you win, how good your time, you just want to win, and consistency is key for that.

Hints:

1. Practice non linear / semi-linear maps.

I learned on these maps - FFIE / Stratovarious / Herm / Krutgumman.
These maps help you see weaknesses fast.
You get good on the above maps, the linear (Nail, NinjaCamel, AZ01, etc.) maps become very easy.

2. Race your opponent, not yourself.

Know how good your opponent is.
Just beat them - don't try for your best run - that is for challenges / funners.
So easy to try a 45 on an AZ map and lose all your turns - your opponent might get a 55 and win - oops!

3. When you know your weaknesses, go back to basics or learn other styles to make it easier.

Can't climb? Extend - when you are on the rope, you can't fall. So many people "power climb" and fall - only do this when you are confident or RR'ing a good player.
Can't scroll? Don't bounce off the back wall, it generates speed and so many people fly their worm into the roof or slip and hit the floor - again only needed against a good player.

Practice the faster routines offline or in funners then slowly build them into your league games.

4. Avoid swooshes - if the wind if facing your worm, you slide down the wall and into the water.
As an alternative, you can extend down small drops and use the momentum to hit the back wall if you can control it.
For larger drops, just drop yourself, rather that swoosh over an arch.

Agreed with Avi.

Especially in clanners, we should use exact times (or as close to, which is to the nearest 0.02s)

Would be good to see "photo finishes" by checking replays too!

It does look like a RR wxw but it was Lukz's pick (Winner's pick) :x

I'll reserve a longer reply for tomorrow.

If we are to keep worms competitive, I say we return to "grass roots".

From your list I would personally scrap Intermediate and Hysteria.

OK Ray, I buy into your reasons for using Ventrillo (spelling?), but part of the problem could be with people being too picky.

Not comfortable with playing with certain clanmates? That isn't healthy.
Cherry picking is surely part of inactivity problems.

I am not saying you are the problem, but that mentality hinders you availability and would contribute to inactivity.

Also, having all these options, schemes, cups gives us the opportunity to be picky.

Restrict people, or change mindsets!

One thing I will say Ray - why are you in the same clan as people you don't want to share a communication medium with?

As standard, surely you would agree on how you could communicate.

On topic: MI, set up a poll with options for the future of the league(s) using options we discussed.
At the end of the day, we do not know the future community but a popular option for the current community will help shape a future.

We wouldn't be able to resolve this with no forums!

I agree a lot with Dark here.

It is all about the competition and wanting to learn to be as good as others. Having a point to prove. There is none of that anymore.

Personally, my drive to play was through inspiration.
RR'ing someone thinking "I want to beat him...", coming back to ensure that happens. Now there is no drive, nothing to prove.
I guess a lot of older players feel the same, competitively.

Quite simply, we are less motivated, we move on.

It would be hard to get an oldschooler back - the competition is not there in my opinion. Hell, I would get into the playoffs every season if I was active, and I am no allrounder.

Sounds very negative,  but in my opinion that is the state of the game. If people are still enjoying it, then that is brilliant but I've been there and done that like many others, and have no energy for more.
