Sure, when is a good time for you?

 

[vazha]

[Zanzoken]

Okay, I just need to put a new team together really quick

What's your Steam friend code? I'll send you a friend request as soon as I'm ready

Will drop you a p.m.

 

[vazha]

Zanzoken It doesn't allow me to send you a p.m., so here's the code: 131974161

 

[Zanzoken]

vazha sent you a friend request

I will get on Blood Bowl now

 

[vazha]

Here? I should select friendly match, right? then invite a friend - when i do that, my friends list is empty and it says "impossible to play without an opponent"

 

[Zanzoken]

Hmm yeah I think that's right, I saw you on there for a second but you just disappeared

 

[Zanzoken]

Cheers vazha thanks for the match! I enjoyed it

 

[vazha]

Yeah was a fun one :D Especially the last touchdown fail and then my ko'ed heavy knights staying asleep )))

 

[bionicman]

vazha how do you like blood bowl 2 (compared to fumbbl)?

Some tips:

- by pressing CTRL multiple times on your keyboard you can switch various grid modes on and preview of players' abilities.
- I recommend opening the settings and setting the camera mode to "free" and controls to "blood bowl 1"
- also, the cutscene animations are nice but getting boring after a while, so I just turn them all off (although you can e.g. only turn them on for touchdowns)
- weird part about the UI: the kick ability only works for some reason if the kicker is *selected* (i think you have to right click the player to select him)
- you can also turn the announcers off and their subtitles if they get annoying

- I recommend opening the settings and setting the camera mode to "free" and controls to "blood bowl 1"

I'd recommend "Blood Bowl 1" camera instead. The "Free" camera has the tendency to lower itself from time to time and it can easily get annoying. "Blood Bowl 1" camera is much more stable and it's very easy to zoom in and out for larger field of view or better top-down overview of the pitch.

I am using "Blood Bowl 2" control mode, by the way (left-click of the mouse button to issue commands).

Super important: go to "Skill" tab in settings and set all skills to "Manual" mode (they are all set to "Automatic" by default). That way you'll get much better control over what you want to use in any given scenario.

boot ready whenever

Edit: I may have slightly miscalculated some things. Would you be interested in doing me a solid and rescheduling for tomorrow? Can do it now if not, but just thought I'd ask

If it's all good we'll do it tomorrow then. Appreciate it men
I can do any time between ~17 and 21 my time, if you have a preference speak up, otherwise I say we do it 24 hours from now (that's 19:50 here).

To the thread at large: my steam name is boenere624, feel free to add me one and all, especially if we haven't played yet. Much nicer IMO not to clog up the thread with scheduling posts if it can be done more conveniently elsewhere.

 

[Zanzoken]

I sent you a friend request Strange Fellow

my Steam name is Zanzoken just like my Codex name, friend code 109882069

 

[vazha]

vazha how do you like blood bowl 2 (compared to fumbbl)?

Liking it just fine, but still prefer Fumbbl for the aesthetics and wide variety of teams. Also BB 2 is more time-consuming as I discovered last night, but this can probably be remedied by turning off the animations.

Thanks for the tips gentlemen and looking forward to the new tournament. Otherwise, if you want to play a random match, just drop me an invite, my code is : 131974161

Nooblet advice corner: learn to chainpush.

Consider this situation, Strange Fellow:

First, you put your blitzer next to the thrower to set up the chainpush. Then you blitz with the blagorg against the elf in the middle to push out the thrower to a safe square. Note that even if the elf was pushed instead of downed, you could still whack him back with either the lino or the blagorg on the left to free up the carrier completely. After that you could run right into the semi-cage prepared there and it would be essentially GG.

 

[Zanzoken]

I watched a video on chain-pushing by AndyDavo and he said to look for " T shapes " which I found to be an easy way to remember it. Kind of an advanced technique but seems to allow you to do some big-brain stuff if you master it.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Nooblet advice corner, pt 2: Just because you got the ball, it doesn't mean you have to IMMEDIATELY WITHDRAW EVERY PLAYER IN THE VICINITY to form a cage.

 

[Strange Fellow]

yeah, uh

yeah

 

[boot]

yeah, uh

yeah

yes, i agree

Round 5
bionicman vs Lagole Gon
Harthwain vs Jaedar
myself vs Darth Roxor
Zanzoken vs Strange Fellow

ALSO

Some men say they wanna start a new competition to run alongside this one, so I've made Zanzoken an admin and he may create a new competition maybe I dunno. Also bionicman and Jaedar have ability to confirm round now.

 

[Zanzoken]
