Now that I have a point of

Now that I have a point of direct comparison I'm surprised that your latency can be as bad as mine, even though you've got three bars more. Something funky going on with that. I do appreciate your play more for it, you do some very nice shot leading and dodging. Pity that phantom hits ruin so much of that. At any rate, your commentary is perceptive and amusing and I look forward to more c: especially with teh nitro because boom boom

A quick note on recon

A quick note on recon footsteps, since that was a discussion point in the last two videos:

Recons are incredibly easy to find on snowbased maps, such as Avenue, Downtown and Frostbite. Your best bet, if you are gonna go recon at all, is to try and stick to the outskirts of the map, since the fog that seems to appear up top tends to cover the footprints a bit. Otherwise, once someone can pinpoint where you are, it doesn't matter if you have the cloak or not. On maps that have the mechanical-style flooring, or any map that is dimly lit (Stadium and Forest are prime examples, respectively), it's a bit easier to hide the footprints as long as you stay out of the more well-lit areas (dark dust textures on a light background kind of makes this self-explanatory).

If you can't avoid those things, then the next best thing is to force the fights on the point if you have the advantage. I can't tell you how many times I've lost track of a recon for a moment only to figure out where they're at again because they step on the point. Ground markers are a huge indicator that can work against the recon if it's done at the wrong time.

cursor and mouse

I watched the recon team video. It looked like a pretty fun game. I always have fun pairing with other recons :D

I did notice something I thought was interesting: when you shoot, you keep your cursor closer to the center of the screen.

Maybe bringing it up is weird, but whether to keep the mouse closer to center, closer to target, or past target when aiming guns was something I thought about deliberately when trying to find my way to aim. I ended up settling with mostly keeping the cursor past the target (closer to the edge of the screen), as I have a fairly-sensitive mouse and am more used to twitch-shooting than keeping a steady shot, so I keep it further away from the center to compensate.

You do have quite the steady shot though <_> slow targets are the death of me haha.

I'm one of those weird guys with a ball mouse. In FPS games you keep it centered, then quickly flick the mouse on the target then back after firing. The biggest benefit it gives you is that you never run out of table space - no need to pick up the mouse and reposition if you're turning one direction too much. TY for the compliment, and i envy your magic switch shooting fingers :p

though it might be a little too fast paced compared to some of your other track choices so idk

90 percent of the time I have a radio station on that plays a mix of music from ocremix.org. I want to avoid YouTube catching some copyrighted music and preventing some of you from watching. Pokemon was a bit after my time. I prefer the early final fantasy remixes :).

completely understandable

in that case, i would recommend some of the stuff from the super street fighter II turbo HD OST, since it was a collab project between them and capcom for the game

and while i'm not a fan of all the remixes, that one does enough justice to the original themes to where it's pretty catchy and tends to fit better with more of your videos' pacing

regardless of music suggestions, still fun to watch these when my net's being too crappy to let me play a decent game of LD

I did a string of episodes as opposed to just 1. Let me know what you think!

On a side note - I know I have been doing several GvG matches lately, but I believe I'm going to calm down on them. It tends to bring out the gripe in me since I'm obviously very biased against certain styles of play which people exploit - basically ruining the concept of it being an actual friendly competitive GAME and turning it into... something else. RLD matches seem much more fun as new and old people are in the mix.

I'll probably just stick with RLD, but who knows! A GvG match might pop up here once in a while.

No set up, neut/bio/any catalyzer, at least 3 charges, must kill the person.

FYI @ Catalyzer charges

Catalyzer charges are terribly glitched in Lockdown.

You can try it out with a friend this way:
- Have your friend hold charge (no invincibility frames during charge hold)
- Set catalyzer charges
- Detonate

I will guarantee the only damage they take is from the regular shot that detonates it.

Also other bugs:
- If someone has put a catalyzer charge on you, you can detonate yourself by standing next to a wall and shooting it, or chasing the projectile with boost/dash so you stand at the point it ends.
- With Biohazard, the charge might not do damage, but with a self-detonation, you can poison your teammates and the person who shot you in the first place.

sorry :x

Also, sorry, no ideas for a 100th either, but you have a ways to go til then :P

Idea A: Make your 100th video using the same loadout you did for your 1st video.

Idea B: Rally together a group to do a couple of Tier 1 matches using only Proto gear.

As for being like Quote, none can come close. None

Apologies for neglecting this thread for the past few days. It's been busy on my end with the SL runs as well as working on a project to celebrate episode 100. We recently hit 200 subscribers as well, so thanks a bunch to everyone who has supported this thread!

As for the episode 100 project... Just a little hint. Since you've spent so much time watching me, I'll be returning the favor. Expect me to be creeping in on you guys during your matches :p.

This week, I got an idea from Retequizzle about a new theme I may make fairly regular. You know, something to spice up LD since it's been pretty stagnant for updates for a year or so.

Check out Ep 108 for how it works and let me know what you think!
