Yeah... this is a pro?...I
Yeah... this is a pro?...
I thought the world of Spiral Knights had more to offer than this as pros...
No this is not a 'pro's' video... This is a very lucky kid that happen to be recording a video of his luck.
How do I know this is not a pro?
Well it did not take my long to figure this out lemme tell you. Infact another viewing of this video check out 0.08 minutes into the video...
AUTO TARGET!!?!?!?!??!? What 'pro' uses auto target XD
Lets also take a look at the luck factors here that make him seem so 'pro'
P1 no zombies, that must save a good bit of time.
P3 ... No zombies omfg you've saved a full 30 seconds right there (perhaps not even for a blitz spammer lol)
Past P2 he's constantly running into shadow fire and not getting caught on fire! Moar luck!
Also, solo is freaking easy. You can one shot just about anything with the right gear.
Including the mask... if your not using a blitz trying to do it XD.. took him 3 waters each time to down the mask XD and his excution in doing so was.. sloppy at best. It's called a Fang of Vog and it owns the hell out of that mask yo.
No this is not a pro, I'm confident the world of sk has much better to offer.
Thanks for trying though,
-Kio
P.S - Pros don't go around boasting to everyone about their epicness... We only tell our friends and guildies about our achievements =X
Edit: Oh yeah... people still care about vana kills? Come on man... It's not even end game content anymore. That's like bragging about how fast you can kill JK... Who the hell cares??

If you can get a good time, sure, congrats.
If you /tell people you don't even know, passively bragging about your time, and make a thread just for it in the attempt for even more attention, then you don't deserve much respect.
I think what Kio is trying to say here is that people don't like skilled players that like to think themselves pros because 'pro' is more than just skill, it's being a good sport and not a braggart. This is an idea that I share and am applied to.

Thank you Draycos, I'm glad a
Thank you Draycos, I'm glad a few people are on my side with this.
Yes that is part of what I was attempting to get through to these guys, the other part was he's not as good as people seem to think, you just can't buy into all the crap and have your mind made up about him before you even view the video because his time on the kill is good.
I'm not saying this guy is a noob, far from it.
But he's also not a pro. Above average yes, but no pro.
To me, saying someone is a pro is not something to be thrown around like some people like to do all the time.
It stands PROFESSIONAL. What's a professional to you?
For me a professional is a person that does a job very well, unlike any other. So much to the point that an average or even above average person couldn't even tell this person how to do a better job. Also, professionalism is not just being skilled at what you do, but in the way you conduct yourself during/after the task you're performing.
Do either of these ring true for him?
Obviously the first one doesn't. And that's not even my opinion either, someone else makes the claim he could of done a better job with the mask, I just clarified how.
And second, for the people that don't know, this guy has been bothering any/everyone he can find in game to look at this thread because it's so freakin important to him that you know he's 'so skilled.'
Now I dont mind being bothered by a complete stranger, but when one just links you into a thread without saying a word to you, you automatically have that assumption this is something important, this must be something ground breaking about the game that everyone needs to know about! And when you take the time to actually look up what was sent to you and you get garbage like this about someone that just wants to fap to the size of their e-peen, that's drawing a line. And i'm not really sure why anyone would think you were a pro from behavior like that.

Good job. 4th phase was a little sloppy though.
@Kioso
I understand that boasting is bad. But cmon we need some competiteveness (hope i typed correctly) in this game. If you know who can do it even faster just tell them to post their videos, so that we can learn from 'real' pros. So far 3.5 mins is the fastest I have seen.
Btw how can you finish mask phase with one watering, do you mean 2 fov charges?

@BekjanSure, I believe in
@Bekjan
Sure, I believe in competitiveness. That's why I do some boasting of my own, but keep it limited to friends/guildies. And it's only a 'in the moment' type deal. I don't go on and on about that one time I...
Why on earth would you go around boasting to random people, not only on a forum, but in game bugging people for hours to go to your thread. That's just stupid, if not a cry for attention.
As for the rest of your arguement,... you clearly weren't paying attention to what I was saying.
For starters, I think I made it pretty clear that a pro wouldn't run about boasting about the kill... For example, making videos of their own runs and posting it on the forums. On top of that, I also made it clear that a big part of such a fast kill like that was nothing short of getting lucky. No zombies being the biggest part, and not getting lit on fire from the shadow fire the 4 (?) times he ran into it.
Also, on the subject of the mask. Yes, two fov charges. Actually how i do it is one fov charge -- one levi charge (two reasons for the switch. One : fov will probably lite me on fire the first go and I don't have max ctr on my fov like i do on my levi, and second i wont get lit on fire twice XD )
In my experience very VERY few people that film themselves playing games are 'pros.' They are sometimes above average but the real pros stay quiet, they don't need/want your attention. They only care about the game and the people they play the game with. Also, most of them don't use cheap tricks to make things easier on themselves, they are looking for ways to make the game more challenging.
That's my two cents, I'm done with this thread

@Kioso
I see. But personally I am not against people posting some interesting videos on forums( why else do we have forums ) as long as it's not an attempt to troll( even trolling can be allowed imo ) . Why are you so against people who post their videos. If someone believes that he's a pro, plz post some videos, I am really interested to watch how pros really play(no sarcasm).
PS: I never heard of Viet saying that he's a pro. As far as I understood this is a guild promotion video ;), although he was in coup de grace at recording time.

TLDR, Kioso is one of those people who likes to write and complain a lot. Kioso is also getting mad at OTHER people calling Viet a pro, I don't see anything in Viet's post calling himself a pro, jealous much? Kioso is just sad that no one ever called him and pro and he wants some sort of fame for it.

Whoa whoa whoa, what's all this talk about pro (I'm obviously the only pro in Spiral Knights), dawgs. But I... I'll admit, I didn't even watch the vid. ;-;
Frankly I don't care if he's pro or not, nor did I even call him a boaster (that's my job). I jus' wanna know why he would /tell erryone in public about it. Maybe he was possessed by a demon that told him to, otherwise it would overtake his body and turn him into a dragon. But then I would want to be a dragon.

Er, guys. Kioso is right
Er, guys. Kioso is right about this. Viet loves to /tell random people and boast. It's also extremely distasteful to other speedrunners to upload bugged runs like this, as that time would not normally be possible if the slags had spawned. When Viet PM'd me about this video, I told him the run was bugged, but grats anyway. He then proceeds to tell my friends that I "raged" at him and removed me. This guy's just looking for attention people. Let the thread die.
Also, he disabled comments for a reason. Many of the speedrunners I know were telling him that it wasn't impressive due to skipping half the fight, and I agree. Dealing with the adds is half the battle.

To be honest, nobody probably cares enough. I sure don't. I also love how you make your posts on the forums sound so innocent, when at the same time you're harassing me in-game about this proposal. I clearly don't like you, and would certainly never want to enter any competition you're holding. I would also like to steer other people away from this guy if possible. It should be clear in this thread that he's only out for attention.

to read through this thoroughly, but i'll put my reputation at stake to vouch for teh trustworthiness and honest nature of vietcongcss. We have done many 5 figure CE deals in which he sent over items via mail before recieving CE.

@Ezduzitt Stop calling me out and I'll stop responding. Wouldn't have responded here in the first place if Viet didn't harass me in-game about the contest he wanted to host. I'm not mad. You guys are out for attention, otherwise you wouldn't be spamming this video everywhere you go. It's not even impressive. Just because you're promoting your guild in a video doesn't mean you go spam it to every random person you see and harass me in-game to enter some childish attention grabbing competition simply because I didn't like the video.
Nice use of an immature meme there btw.

Could say great job if you
Could say great job if you weren't such a hateful and angry person in-game.
So all I can say is:
Make a video once you have earned your items like everybody else. It's not hard to do fast Vanadukes with max CTR if you just bumrush like you did in this video.
You get hit by falling debris in the first 15 seconds of the fight and you walk into fire tiles while charging your gun. Both things that are far from impressive. Let's not forget that you have run vanaduke how many times? Definitely hundreds more than the average 5* player yet many of them can do this much cleaner.
Anybody who farms vanaduke even a little can faceroll through this in under 4 minutes with the items you are using.
Clearly your guild just harasses and trolls non-stop as I see other great members of the community complaining about it in this thread.
tl;dr version
Vietcong was handed his items for free then talks trash to other people because of how fast he does vanaduke with these items.

You're the one calling me a
You're the one calling me a "Derp" and I'm being immature? "@Ezduzitt Derp, read the thread.". I didn't call you any names or insult you in any way, but when I respond to an insult I'm the immature one? Once again the hilarity ensues with your nonsense. Keep playing the victim card, I'm correcting you and Kioso for making false accusations. I highly doubt Viet "harassed" you as well, like everything else you're just exaggerating what is going on. Not to mention this thread died on 12/10 until someone bumped it and Kioso went on a major rant, you and Kioso were adding fuel to the fire. No one is out for attention, you're just trying to spin it that way.
What we have here are two people blowing something way out of proportion. Could he have went about sharing the video differently? Sure, but he was excited about his time and he was being insulted by these so called "purists" of the game *cough*exileddread*cough* and his response was simply "then do better than I did" and they took it wrong.

I said "Derp" because you
I said "Derp" because you said Viet wasn't seeking attention. I never called you a derp. If something's incredibly obvious, and you state otherwise, then you've just gone and derped.
Yes, you could have easily advertised differently. Simply posting this video and telling friends/guildies about it is enough. No need to spam every person you see in Spiral Knights about it, let alone drag me into it. I NEVER insulted Viet. I told him one thing. "The run was bugged, but you're still a great player and grats." He then tells my friends that I "raged" at him because I guess he didn't like what he heard. I'm not being immature about this, he is.

Chris always provides the lulz
It was only a matter of time before the grand master troll put in his two cents. A new guild that just started up a week ago and all we do is harass and troll others? That means a lot coming from the guy who's sole purpose is to troll Magnus and Guild, not to mention make members of his own guild make alts to spy on other guilds by being accepted into them. Lets not mention your whole master plan to try and steal members from other guilds with this master scheme, oops I spilled the beans.
Many good members left and their reasons for leaving had to do with you and your shenanigans. Don't step into this thread calling my guild a bunch of trolls that harass people, you're known all too well for doing those things and MANY can agree to that.
Handed or paid for, what's the difference? You've spent copious amounts of money on the game, you don't NEARLY play enough to farm CE.
