"definitely a slower paced map. gg" "I wanted a calmer, slower duel for my final one of the night. Unfortunately, I managed to see my own faults more clearly that way, like trying to pursue Jeds whenever I see him, or dive into the gunfire in the hopes of firing off a lucky shot...my only saving grace was probably Homers with a side of Quad Lasers as I was backing off of Jeds. Otherwise, he had good insight as to where I was, or would spawn, so I was either defensive or executed attacks poorly. Still, a fun final duel. Thanks Jeds!"

"gg" "(I should learn and remember how to set up the x5 trick one day. Anyway...) I thought I would yield the same results in Wrath as in MythenaR, but I didn't think I'd have the worry of shutting myself out...twice. It didn't help that I had unfortunate timing in spawns and terrible flying, but I managed to get lucky a couple of times. I still flew around too much like it's an FFA, despite trying to throw around Smarts for a lucky hit. At least I didn't fly into Proxies twice (like in MythenaR)!"

Um, Achtung (which is "attention" or "danger" in German) lives up to it's name..or Superbob makes it live up to it's name, since this map is meant for him. Logic-esque, but a bit more open in the dueling areas. Plenty of opportunity in the intersecting areas to quickly attack, plenty of areas to stalk, and Superbob took advantage of *all* of that. I hadn't a chance close up, and tried either dogfighting or distant engagements. He still schooled me good, but I had fun. Thanks!"

"Although I was not thinking this map in particular, this was more in line of what I was expecting from Jeds when I basically told him to choose whatever map he wants. Despite being shut out, this was fun in a different way, albeit embarassing on my part...I'm convinced I hit Jeds only once, and it was from a distance with Spreadfire. Earlier, I was surprised he was under me and I tried getting him with a Smart! But alas... Anyway, thanks for the games, Jeds. It was fun!"

"yes, I was blind in it but really not a whole lot to 'learn' about the level :) GG" "In some respects this is a more open map to fly in than in my last game. The more open, the more fun for me, but it also plays into my weakness of flying skills; which enables Jeds to school me easily despite giving my best. The match went as I anticipated, but I didn't realize that I kept up my flimsy attacks enough to score at least one kill...I thought Jeds flew like he was untouchable! I think it's his first time in Adabus, yet he flew around like it was Mythena. Great flying, Jeds!"

"good fun" "I think I have an idea on how to fight Jeds, at least in Wrath (if not generally)...do not engage in visual range. Always fight outside and either hope blind luck wins, or that I get an idea of where he is and where to attack. While I was more comfortable with attempting this here than elsewhere, my problem is overall execution, slow reaction time, and old muscle memories in the way. Jeds handed me my lunch as anticipated, but my performance wasn't complete garbage. A fun match! Thanks, Jeds."

"This Feb 22nd game was an attempted FFA, but since it was Spike and I, it became an impromptu duel that I felt was interesting enough to log on as a DCL match, beause it essentially was a battle of exploiting predictable behavior. It wasn't simply that, though, since obviously Spike won out with aggression and quicker reflexes, but I managed to get in some interesting kills with his predictable movement. Eventually, though, he managed to pick up on some of mine and double down. So, Kudos, Spike!"

Part michievous dodging, part-farce on my part, all fun. Like match #3, it has to be seen to be believed.

One in particular with the Vulcan and Homers, and...how did I get the other frag again? I can't believe I just forgot, and I'm not checking the demo right now; feeling fatigued.

The frags felt unearned, but as Jeds mentioned with lucky kills, y'gotta take what you can get. "

"You are correct. Stop being so reactive. Make others react. Control the pace. Control the information. Control the outcome. Win." "I think the main problem in all three duels--and with me in general--is that I'm a reactive pilot, and I've got slow reflexes. Not a good combo, and Jeds took full advantage of that, even here. I tried to make sure to compensate for it by aiming with Vulcan the best I could, but with how lousy a shot I am still, that wasn't enough. Still was fun to give it the good try!

"Maybe it's not necessarily just that people always have second-halves that I wish I had...but that Spike is able to come back from screwups easily, while I can't. Even in fights where I won, it could've gone the other way with Spike's aggressiveness...or am I too timid? Either way, his aggressiveness and quick responses did me in at the end, again. But even if I had won...I'd still think Spike's the real winner; having endured that hurricane and all. (There's your cheesy moment, reader.)"

Then the second-half kicks in and Spike takes off. This seems like a truism even outside of his home, and I don't think it necessarily helped that it was his home, since he managed to fly into some of my pre-launched Smarts around corners. Then he sets off my Proxies as I placed 'em. He eventually got missile control and ran over me in the end...only to blow up *at* the end. (Yay, ship explosions!) Thanks for the duel!"
