Joey,
Choosing your opponents favourite ride after losing is ridiculously bold. You sure as hell wasn't lying to me when you said " I'm confident in my ability with the 109K4". After watching those fights you sure as hell wasn't lying!
Even after losing the 4th fight in the K4, I too was confident that I was going to win. It was an easy choice to pick the 109K4 for the deciding fight and I wasted no time calling it out on 200. The fight developed in almost identical fashion as it had in the 4th fight and I had put myself in an even more favorable position in this one. I worked my angles to the best of my ability to the point where I thought I had it. To the point where I thought to myself, "It's about to be over." I came down to finish him off and the gun solution simply wasn't there. He had worked his plane into the perfect spot, slow and stalling. His foresight to know where to put his aircraft and avoid my advantaged attack at least 5 seconds in advance was incredible. And just like that, the fight turned. I had just a tad more E, which is the worst spot you can be in in a rolling scissor. Not enough energy to E fight him, but not slow enough to risk getting slower in an attempt to get on the bottom half of the rolling scissor. I questionably opted for an 'all the marbles' E maneuver, but in hindsight, didn't quite bait him laterally against the torque long enough before bringing it vertical before planning a torque stall, down upon his struggling aircraft. He simply kept his nose up, got his piper right on me, and ended it before anything of significance could develop.
I'm glad the title of this tournament was decided by an epic 5th round, and a fight that I can say I have no regrets about. I would fight it the exact same way if given another opportunity. It took incredible effort, guts, poise, and above all, skill, to come back and win this one. A much deserved victory by TonyJoey, and once again proving that he is one of the best pilots in Aces High.
