High and low Yo Yo's are closure control maneuvers.

Usually referred to in a turning fight--high closure=high yo yo to control too much closure, while positioning for immediate fight re-entry (trading Kinetic E for Potential E). Low Yo Yo= closure gaining maneuver, usually by "cutting across the circle" via the use of the vertical (down) to help preserve E while creating turning room in the 3rd dimension.   A quarter plane is a "save" to preserve 3-9 advantage, and causes the attacker to bleed off excessive E while pulling aggressively to the bandits high 6 (usually 90 degrees out of plane of motion).

Boom and Zoom properly should be a series of high speed passes to gunshots forcing the bandit to break and then avoid the shot. which should be losing E as a result.

Wiley hit the nail on the head with the "equalize E" approach....but the problem is smart attackers recognize this and go pick on someone else:)  Or in the melee arena, the "sterile 1 v 1 fight" quickly becomes a multi-aircraft furball:)
Yes Yo yos are closure control but you still have to close on your enemy and maintain your energy state to be above his at the time of shot opportunity.

Great in depth post. More people need to learn ACM  so we can have better fights and increase the overall skill gap between players because I can tell you first hand compared to 6 years ago there's almost no competition in the MA currently. It's getting to be boring.
We had this discussion the other night and I completely agree with you....I don't think there is 10 active sticks who can beat me in a set duel....used to be A LOT more....that's not being cocky that's being honest.

I should have added that I'm not bragging either. It's just the damn truth. I've put numerous hours into that DA place I got the right haha. Rud3boi gave me a hell of a run in the DA not to long ago!

  Exactly why you would use a hi yoyo,so you dont overshoot and you can re-orientate your lift vector to put yourself into an attack position.


 Dob's was spot on in his assessment!

I find plenty of high guys that wont dive in, now that is frustrating.  By the way it's hard to run from someone who has more E than you... Just saying lol.

Oh, the whining on 200 and rage PMs are so worth it when you do that.
