Is the "cherry picking" not by definition something like disregarding the bad berries and only taking the best and sweetest ones?
I agree with IronDog.
It is not that special to kill someone after a lot of yanking and banking. It happens all the time. However, it is much more rare to be able to "humiliate"
someone so fully and completely that he has no idea what hit him.
I might list the kills from best to worst (IMHO) like this:
- cherry pickings.
- quick kills from a good shooting position after good move or two.
- successful deflection shots from more difficult positions.
- wrestling and sweating it out with ACMs after having been stupid and having blown the advantage.
- risking a HO shot and winning.
The deaths (from least to most humiliating) go pretty much in opposite order:
- risking HO and losing.
- dieing or crashing after a long yank and bank, which was initiated due to loss of SA or some other mistake.
- not reacting strongly enough to a "smaller threat" situation and getting blow out with a good shot.
- losing it quickly after a move or two.
- getting blown out without knowing what hit me.
So.. IMO winning or losing a HO are pretty close to each other. In any case the decision has been mine to take it due to some reason or another.
