"You should ask Magnus, Njthug, Rubyeclipse, or Corny or others for tips"
I see what you did there...
Also, I left then came back.
CHRIS of KNIGHTMARE - Lockdown Videos
Can't sit down any longer, Chris. I can name 5 people right off the bat that are better then you at LD.
Probably could name 500 who has a better personality.
Corny,
Rubyeclipse,
Hetoro,
Magnus, (it burns)
And Shidara.
All better players, and 50x better personalities then you.
I'll probably get a idiotic comment back like "LOL U MAD U MAD! He's just jealous of my skills."
Well I'm not. And I'm glad I don't pay 64 CE to rez each game, like you do.
"stop trying to make me look bad" People don't need too.
You already do.
And, by the way, you ever heard of a life?
Might want to try to buy one of those sometime with your infinite amount of cash.
Oh right, you can't. You actually need charm.
Something you don't have.
What do you hope to upgrade your Skolver to?
Also, I noticed you never use Gran Faust. Are there any situations in which you use it, and if so, what are they?
And BTW, just thought I'd point out that you can type "/p" (for 'party') or "/s" (for 'say') to speak to everyone rather than "/game."
Nice Chris!
And kudos for reaching that Framerate! (Mines not even that good if I close everything except SK and enable all my processors :/)
For the auto-target,I posted LONG after watching the video, but what I do is turn it off EXCEPT I keep the default key L-Shift that it's bound to when i need it (i use the WASD controls :3)
Important tip: Do NOT try to play Spiral Knights after Minecraft... *facepalms when he tries to shield with Shift and attack with LEFT click*
Needless to say, keep up the good vids!
Maybe a Livestream is in order?
Rofl at the troll who says Hetero, Njthug, Magnus and Corny are better than me at LD when I have never once been outplayed by any of them and consistently score better than them in random team games.
GG
Ruby is the only one listed who has outplayed me. And that was before I got my Gran Faust.
I literally outscored and beat Hetero over 20 times in a row in one day and have yet to be outscored or beat by him.
Now on to the non troll posts.
@ glowing-ember
In the videos I still had my gran faust without a UV on it. Now I have my vh asi and I often use it vs full skolver people, especially strikers.
@ Xylka-Mkii
I may try that auto target toggle you are talking about, plenty of times I want it off for my GF swings into groups.
And I recently built a desktop for about $700. CPU is a 3.2g x4 AMD phenom 2 series and my vidoe card is a radeon 6870
"Worst personality in all of spiral knights, cannot even remotely be argued"
While I've seen Magnus and I know what he's like, I can tell you know your gigantic ego and constant braggart threads are much worse.
@Chris
I'm not sure what games you are referring to but by my count I have beaten you all 5 times that we've played and in each of those games I have out damaged you. What games are you remembering? lol. If you're going to bring me up in the thread at least be more accurate with your statements. If you really need proof I can dig up the screenshots but I don't really feel like it right now.
Peace
Let me say this now; if you think I'm trolling, there's something seriously wrong with you.
Actually, most of them don't turn into 'ego trips', a lot of them are like that to begin with. Don't know where you're coming from with that one.
Yes, you did win that match, sure, and I wasn't really QQing about the pendants; I merely said that along with autoaim and lucky UVs it made a lot of sense as to why you deal a large amount of damage. I didn't even mention Skolver, either...
I'm not sure what you classify as 'owning me', when it boils down to Strikers being effective against Guardians in general, especially with a BTB or FF. The only real way to properly counter a FF/BTB is to be a striker yourself and dodge and counter rather than sit there as a Guardian unable to start a single slash because you're being poked over and over too quickly to do anything, without being able to run. I was guardian for a good deal of that match, and when I was striker, I consistently hit you rather than going down after one or two hits, so you didn't really 'own' me in that case either. In those matches, I remember doing fairly well myself, even through my two bars of lag. (IE, yellow connection) Your patterns were extremely predictable when you Stri v. Guard'd me, just circling and slashing me. And yet if you go back to the bit about not even being able to start a single attack...
You didn't make fun of 'my QQing', you were poking fun at someone elses and complaining about my ramblings about the lack of skill autotarget requires.
"People like you are the reason the world is becoming complete trash."
Did I really just read that? Coming from you? Someone get me an appointment with a doctor!
...To be honest, that post sort of backs up other people's statements about your exaggerations and twisting.
EDIT: Would like to say this now. I, by no means, think I'm the best or one of the best, I do think I'm fairly good. If I see good reason to say some people aren't as good as they think they are for UVs, connections, autoaim, or trinkets, then I will.
Did you really just say strikers are effective against guardians.
Guardians are the ultimate counter to strikers in LD, when played correctly of course.
Troll comments are not wanted here.
Also let me elaborate about my statement about you and the world.
It seems as though, more recently, there is an enormous amount of people who take things in life for granted and like to complain about things they can EASILY fix if they get off their ass and do something about it. Most are too lazy to do so, some are too stupid, some are just trolls and a few are actually just ignorant.
Gear and setting are easily controlled and do not factor into skill AT ALL. If you do not understand this you honestly don't even deserve to have a computer.
Off forums for the night, feel free to bump up my topic though, the more video views I get on youtube, the more money my google ad account will make.
Also the more you bump it, the more famous I become, so gg.
FEED DAT EGO SON

OMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMN :3
>Troll comments are not wanted here
My eyes, they burn.
Strikers ARE effective against guardians when the Guardian in question gets stuck with one in their face spamming the first hit of a BTB/FF without an instant attack to use alongside that. Given the speed boost to swords Strikers get, it's hard to find a weapon to do that if you're not geared entirely for PvP if you don't use ASI trinkets (I don't.)
"take like for granted" Didn't get this, please restate that...
"they can EASILY fix"
So I'm supposed to pay for CE while you laugh in your arsenal of health trinkets and UVs, just to get the same level of gear out of dumb luck or hundreds of dollars...
Please, tell me why I'm so wrong, and tell me why you ignored part of my post.
Off for the night.
Last minute edit against your edit/post: Exactly, it doesn't revolve around skill. If you decided to take that gear off, I wonder how good you'd do? And why should I have to spend the same amount of time or money to play on an equal advantage/disadvantage scenario? But you say that's me just wanting to handicap you, and I've no words for a reply like that... really.
Feeding your ego, huh. No, I almost think this thread is becoming a giant red warning sign to stay away from either of us...
Excuse me? I'm lazy? I'm lazy for not wanting to farm for crowns hours on end and instead doing something else like having a life and going to school? I'm lazy for not spending money? No, you, sir, are like the people making the world garbage; you, a person who spends so much time on a game, and so much money... People who think of nothing but being the best in a game of all things, and wasting so much to achieve that.
Farm crowns/ce in-game
buy the items I bought with crowns/ce I farmed for
Stop talking smack because you are too lazy to do it
Or just stop complaining about it all together and accept that you are just being lazy.
"Guardians are the ultimate counter to strikers in LD, when played correctly of course."
Ok let's see you do that then
Why is my name here...but regardless...
Chris Define outplay?
Now if you consider damage to be how you outplay someone thats a false stat. Captures and defends also mater. If you don't focus on captures or defense you can get 20k+ damage a game trust me I know, but you won't be doing your team any good if you aren't capping or even defending. Only real way to see if you outplay anyone is by having two set teams with the same skill set of players. (Now you use gear as a way to measure skill set, but yet you say its the players skill what matters not the gear). Now, to really see how you outplay someone is by having everyone on the same boat same players around each other, similar gear choices, similar uv's, and no ce to rev either,and with multiple maps.
Its your OPINION that your better than those players. My opinion is that you are not as good as you say you are since we can always find someone better, but we truly have no way to measure someones greatness at all in Lockdown, so its all opinion base.
Come to think of it. Chris first post is not exactly a troll.
High ego? Everyone is the same high ego by seeing how they counter each other.
Whatever, it's just making nothing out of something which human is good that .
That's why the republic and democrats exists.
Best reg

<3 you Icy
Take care of my old guildies who have joined CDG :3
They are a bunch of really nice people. I'm honoured to have them.
Thanks ^^
We should leave Chris alone he has the rights to post and say whatever he wants anyway? Cant we all be friends? (゚O゚)\(-_-;)
Hey. I think I played with the OP once. Didn't you rage quit and leave your team? I thought that was very professional.
What Njthug said is entirely right.
1. You can't outright claim you're better than someone just because your score was higher than them in any given game. It's a team game and your score is going to be significantly influenced by who you're playing with, and who you're playing against.
2. Going by damage is a horrible way to compare ability. Even if Player 1 is better than Player 2, if Player 2's opponents suck at avoiding damage, then Player 2's damage score is gonna end up higher than Player 1's.
3. Again, just as Njthug said, damage doesn't win the game. It's not team deathmatch, even if that's how you think it should be played. Using 5 guardians is a viable strategy specifically because the goal is to capture and keep points. You can call it boring, but you still lost to it; Because the game isn't only about dealing damage.
Like I said, all you seem to be concerned about is how well you play compared to everyone else as a Striker. You're on an ego trip, man. Your attitude isn't one a competitive gamer can look up to, because you care more about yourself than the intricacies of Lockdown.
You can call me a "troll" or a "hater" if you want, but that's just a common knee-jerk reaction for a pretentious internet attention seeker. They're labels you're throwing on people in attempt to invalidate their opinions, which is pretty immature. You can't only acknowledge the opinions of people who agree with you. [If you want to see what I mean, try searching "haters" on youtube. Count how many angsty teen vloggers label every single person who doesn't love them as a "hater". By the time you're done you might want to punch the entire collective internet.]
I make this mistake a lot; That is, trying to argue or get a point across to someone who is beyond logic.
No matter what I say, or anyone says, in your mind you will always be right.
Because LOL LOOK AT THESE CHILDISH HATER TROLLS TRYING TO GET ATTENTION WITH LIES AND SPAMMING MY THREAD WITH GARBAGE, right?
Maybe in an alternate universe there's a Taz even more naive than I am, who would take your side. Maybe then you'd post "<3 Taz" "Glad Taz gets it unlike all you TROLLS LOL". Because certainly the only way you'll ever acknowledge my words as reasonable, would be if were enabling your ego-stroking.
But this Taz will not. I will tell you that you're being an immature idiot, and hope that maybe you grow out of it. I just can't help it, it's in my blood. "There is someone wrong on the internet!" and all that.
Oh yeah, regarding that other thread? Racism towards your own race is still discrimination and isn't justified at all. The point is that you're hating on a certain type of people for who they are. You can say it was "just a joke", but it's offensive no matter what, and that just doesn't fly in what's supposed to be a friendly, mature community. Keep tasteless jokes between you and your friends, like the rest of us do. Also? Don't laugh and insult the people who tell you you're wrong when you are wrong; It makes you look like an idiot.
With that all out of the way; I'll stop now, because I've realized, at least for now, you are in your own world, where nothing anyone else says can reach you. There is no longer reason.
Was fun.
Corny I have only played once or twice and have outscored/played him every time.
Hey now, I don't really have much interest in the back and forth in this thread as long as it doesn't concern me, but I just saw this and thought I should at least put in a word or two. I have a screenie of most of my games and I've played 8 with you so far, 4 of which I think took place after your post (and 1 which took place during LD beta haha). Was hoping I'd get matched on the opposite team before you left after that last set of 4 games, but no such luck, maybe next time :)
Here are all 8, even the ones where I didn't do so hot. I'll let the screenshots speak for themselves. To be fair though, you have an excuse for game 6 since it seemed like you were just trying to curse yourself half the time.
game 8 game 7 game 6 game 5 game 4 game 3 game 2 game 1
As for Sciasz, I've only run into him in a handful of games, but I've always had the impression that he's better than me at least.
Anyways, I'll call it like I see it. You're a pretty good player, Chris, and I respect that. Not sure I'm a fan of the attitude but to each his own I guess. Thanks for the fun games, cheers!
clearly i'm the best worst lockdown player in game.
CLEARLY.
now... move along children. :p
Chris, will you marry njthug and I?
only things i have to complain about lockdown
buff autogun line: only 1 bullet hits enemy, he gets mercy shield, rest doesnt affect him
Emily from knightmeres will give you nightmare ! Lol. Ask Jim dale instead.
Damage doesn't win the game, but you can't capture if you're dead......
Isn't killing everyone while your team does the job a valid strategy?
Don't have much to say except this.
You + Piercing sword= Epic pwnage.
You - Piercing sword= Get one.
Enemy + Piercing sword= Dead you
Enemy - piercing sword= Fair Game.
Haven't tried automatic targeting, or whatever it's called, in Lockdown with my new Flourish, but judging by some of these posts, I should be able to destroy everyone. To some extent, anyways.
Quote from Chris:
"Farm crowns/ce in-game

I like that attitude, and I feel the same way. The other day you made some nice comments about the Knightmare record vs Finesse, citing gear as your excuse. Probably you should take your own advice in this instance. Seriously you don't even queue in gvg so now you've taken to bragging about how you do awesome damage in random games. It's pathetic.
I'm also a bit curious about your constant hostility towards me, as I goof around in random games. Every victory for you consists of you gloating relentlessly and every defeat you fall silent or make excuses("pants on head team mates" - sound familiar lol), I'm sure other people will know exactly what I am talking about as well.
I don't claim to be the best player, or even a good player of this game.. I just have fun. That being said, anyone who knows me knows if I'm in random games I'm generally taking the piss, and clowning around. I can't see any reason to take random games seriously at all. Claiming you're the best at this game is asinine, You'd be lucky to make the top 20. You are a mediocre player with unwarranted self importance. If its any consolation you'll always be the #1 bad sport in SK

Wow and my other account got suspended from here just from posting this about him.
I actually posted it in this thread after my original topic got closed. They removed it from here also. Wonder if they will do it this time and send this account a warning.
LOL, I guess the picture just isnt allowed. Let me try one mroe time. If the pic gets removed just PM if you want to see it. OOO must really like Chris. Even my complaint against him went unheard. Funny enough they havent seen the link to it in the knightmare guild recruitment thread. Been up in that topic for two days now. That will prob be deleted now also.
Abita we understand that Chris and Kenny hit you below the belt, but this is pathetic. You got banned because you keep posting this stupid picture over and over again, after a mod specifically said not to. Everyone already knows that Knightmare is led by the least mature of its members; you don't have to keep making new accounts to get your point across.
This is as much a grudge against ooo as it is chris now. They did nothing when i complained and did nothing but ban me when I post a picture. I have not said one hurtful thing about him in this thread. I am not playing this game anymore because the content hasnt changed and pvp is boring. I am just having fun with the moderators now. Expect to see this pic quite a bit more for the next two weeks. Or if chris just sends an apology to me in one of these threads i will be content.
eh? What happened? Why are there grudges?
THIS MAKES NO SENSE TO THOSE OF US WHO KNOW NOTHING.
Namely, me.
What happened that verifies the holding of a grudge?
Abita is mad I guess xD
Hetero stop flaming me because you can't beat me in LD no matter how hard you try or how many times you run back to your base to heal or CE rez.
WHYUMADBRO?
Need less people mad cause they lose to me in LD.
Flame is not wanted and will be e-mailed immediately to our good friend GM Cronus!
Have a good day :3
@Psychodestroyer
I would talk about it but my account gets suspended everytime. Hell this is the longest the pic has survived in general forum yet. Lets just say it involved a couple of people from a guild losing a game on purpose so someone on the other team could get the bombhead. And also that ooo didnt care about it. I have a feeling I will be on Abita20 by next week. And it is only from posting that pic.
Refer to the DO NOT #5

@Juances
So if i black out the chat log and just show the caps and damage that wouldnt be against the rules? That also does not seem like all that private of a conversation. To me private means between two poeple. He is talking pretty openly about it.
Thank you for letting this silly person know why they are getting in trouble :P
<3 U Juances
I like the videos of lockdown. But I have to say this:
Why use autotarget if you don't use the last 2 hits of flourish instead? Doesn't make sense to me, unless you are trying to find recons.
BTW People, Chris is not showing off gear obviously, since every friggin 5* person has Skolver, FF/BTB, and GF
Lastly, people who use autotarget and all swings of the sword in LD are plain losers who don't have skill, and don't deserve the title of decent LD player. This goes for all tiers, and the weapon I am talking about is flourish. (Duh)
If OOO are genuinely banning you for posting a picture of lockdown scores and someone PUBLICLY admitting to throwing the game, I just lost respect for them. These guys have been complete tools and you should be allowed to alert the community about them.
@Abita
i really cant see why your making a such a big deal out of this. they let their guildie win a bombhead mask...so what? I bet you would be reacting much differently if you were on the other team.
Hey Chris, in Chris-Land is everyone jealous of your skills? I don't know what it is, for some reason you think people in real life envy your "talents." Please grow up. Nobody believes that you beat Hetero in every Lockdown game you play. You said you had played Corny "only 2 or 3 times," and he came through with 8 different screen shots of him routinely outplaying you every time.
Either you have short term memory loss, or are a compulsive liar. I'm going with the second option.
@Ndognine I think you'd be reacting much differently as well, if you were on Abita's team. Chris and Kenny had no right to throw their match; the players on their team had just as much right to it was whoever the Knightmare player was on the other team. It was a low class move that only the most "mature players of Knightmare" would make.
@Chris I support your case, but I disagree with your previous posts. Striker is easy as hell with guardian class health. All you do is skate around guardians and obliterate them and their shield, auto-target recons and demolish them as well, and use the extra health to counter other strikers. Not that hard when you are one of the few people with heart pendants and insanely fast piercing swords.
Chris, tell me if I am wrong too, but it honestly does sound easy with your setup. I have a question though:
Do you think you could go into PvP and play as a striker with NO trinkets, and still be able to annihilate other pvpers?
If your answer is yes, I would like to see a video. If no, then this proves that better equipment is far superior to skill, which would be yet another flaw in the game.
I do think you have skill in LD Chris. I just want to see you show it without the health advantage you have. In the unbalanced yet enjoyable world of LD, health bonuses are 10x better than damage resistances.
Should have had someone else make these videos. If you seriously want to teach people Lockdown (and not just show off gear), it's better to have a skilled player in average gear then to have an average player in amazing gear.
You should ask Magnus, Njthug, Rubyeclipse, or Corny or others for tips :) good luck
