well, usually when someone has #1 rank overall, they're trying quite hard for it...

sorry if that's a dumb call.

i'll look for you sometime. i do enjoy fighting you. you have stuff to learn, but you're good enough to put up a fun fight :)

see, you admit to trying to keep that rank ;)

rank doesn't mean squat, sooner you realise that, the better. once you start experimenting and getting down and dirty is where you start to have not only a lot of fun, but you really start learning. if you wanna get good, that's what you gotta do, stop caring about that silly little number, it doesn't do anything.

as long as your ego doesn't need that little number to tell yourself that you're good, then you're free to play and learn as you want. worry about your rank, you'll play timid, and you'll never learn squat.

instead of having that nice shiny number 1 telling you that you're 'the best', you can actually go out there and learn, and truly become the best player out there, not just some dweeb that exploits the game just to get that lil #1

i promise you rank means zero skillwise.



btw, one thing you personally need to work on is how you use your energy advantage. you usually come in with masses of alt and pick people off to get that high rank of yours. that's how i always kill you mate, i use your energy advantage to my advantage. it's so easy to make you overshoot , and then i drag your E down, or kill you with an instant reversal.

you can't learn everything in the DA. it's great for learning duelling techniques, specifically merges and throttle work, but in the MA you need to know how to use your energy. be smarter about the targets you pick, and don't be so hasty. try not to dive right in. you might also need to brush up on your energy tactics ACM's learn to pull a double immelman after you botch a BnZ attack. you usually go up, and i tempt you down, make you lose your E, then chew you up low speed, where you need far more practise.



serious suggestion, if you want to get better: forget about all ranks and stats for a tour or two, starting now. get down and dirty, film your fights, deliberately fight from a disadvantage. learn how to bleed another guy's E, how to reverse etc. do that for a tour or two, and you will know exactly how to counter these defensive moves when you go back to your BnZ stuff. that way you'll be even more assured of a good rank if you still really want to go for it, because you'll know how to counter the moves, and you'll have learned how to fight your way out of sticky situations, instead of running.


good luck man, seriously, look me up when you can and we can practise stuff in the TA (TA is so much better than the DA if you want to learn stuff). this is on the one condition that you STOP worrying about those silly numbers for a while!!! :D

lol pacerr, that guy makes me laugh. it just goes to show how little rank really means skillwise.

seriously, if you want to learn, worrying about your rank is the first thing that needs to go.

I've yet to NOT shoot down the #1 ranked Cartoon Ace in the game.  

Rank means chit.   To even aspire to attain it by manipulating stats PROVES lack of self-worth.   Which is the most important aspect a human can have.

No offense taken but....

While i sometimes whine about the HO, I don't recall once talking about my skills as being anything but "OK", even here on the boards, so I'm not sure how I'm cocky. Having been around for several years i have many friends in the game, perhaps my banter with them is misunderstood.  Then again, maybe I'm cocky and just too cocky to see it.   :D

Additionally, I am assaulted each time I play the game by someone who tells me I'm a no skill (insert insult here).  These regular bashings lead me to believe that I have no skill whatsoever and it is entirely by luck that I manage the few kills I muster.

Today's entry was submitted by a teammate, Bipolar. He advised me that I am a no-skill picktard who left his former squad because I am a crybaby.
No matter that I left, completely without pomp or circumstance, because my former squad is largely peopled by selfish scorepotatos with whom I rarely,  flew.  Somehow, my silent and peaceful departure makes me a crybaby.

While I rarely respond, I did this time and offered to DA Bipolar(he really is, I believe) so he could measure my meager skills himself.
He responded that a pilot named elevenK DA'd me and beat me. When I told him I'd never DA'd elevenK, Bipolar said that it must have been Shawk.  When I told him that I never dueled Shawk(to my knowledge) he went off on another tirade of insults about how I lack skills in this game entirely.  
I allowed him to dodge my DA invite because I really didn't want to spend any time with such an unpleasant person.

My point is, that I am regularly subjected to these harsh reminders of just how awful I am at this game, so how could I possibly be cocky if I'm so bad?

:aok
