Aces High - Bighorn vs Domin - Spitfire 5 - 2008

[Domin]

I found some AH2 videos on my old hard drive. This is one of my favorites. Bighorn and I must have spent 1000 hours (at least it seems that way, lol) dueling in the DA.

We actually kept in touch up until a few years ago. I hope all is well with you and yours, my friend.

For everyone else, I hope you enjoy and I'll see what else I can dig up.

Wow, a duel where someone didn't fly straight up after the merge... haven't seen something like that in awhile.

Looked fun.  Wish people still played the game to experience these types of fights.

Each fight lasted about 3:00 longer than it should have. I thought it was the same fight on loop lol

Not totally sure how to respond to that, but yes, was a great rolling scissors.

@Lazerr, I get your point now.

It wasn't though. Every reversal took place from level to 45 degrees off horizontal, instead of vertical. Not only that, the entries were so late, that simply rolling 180 degrees at the top would have forced an overshoot for either person.

First rule of a rolling scissors is to not get into one, second rule is to get out of it at the first opportunity.

The more I see of the "greats" from AH1, the more I realize it's not that they were great, it's that everyone was a noob and equally... flat-turning. We would have slaughtered them all the same.

Didn't Skyyr duel you with the agreement to not go vertical and he even let you start on his six? What was that score again?
