toutinette's new fltron ideas - by toutinette

Okay guys, I have 2 things to say:

1) Maybe it would be good to get an extra turbo when an enemy runs and dies into your line because I don't like people who stay back while you fight and use turbo; when you need it afterwards, you don't have any :-/
There, when you kill someone (probably using turbos) you can get an extra one, so there's an advantage in killing other players (espisially 1v1v1v1).

2) And something else, maybe we should start publishing tips about the game (strategies, tips etc...) I'm willing to write one every week and consult some players to see if they're good.
If you guys are interested in having a tip every week, let me know because it will probably take time thinking about good ones etc...

Yeah. ^^,

By toutinette, in LightBeam's pencil.

P.S. for some reason toutinette couldn't post that so i did it for him.

lol thanks man

yeah, it ends with the "Yeah. ^^,"

lol

but i thought staying out of trouble requires skills! :P

I can give a tip also, but some are secret and shouldn't be known by every noob :P.

1) yeah but it's still annoying! how many times do you say: "i wished i had that turbo"

2) its not about the tip, its about how you use it ;-) example: painting is an abvious trick to win time, most players know about it but it requires skillz and precision

TIP ONE:

don't crash.

It would be good for tips although it may be awkward to explain some!

For example. at the start, try not to turn too early, but don't turn too late. It's kind of awkward to explain exactly when to turn, but you can't do it too late, but definitely don't do it too early.

That one was kind of awkward to explain..

indeed lol
dude where were you?

.

try not to use your turbos too early! Unless you need to, or unless you want to gain a large box right at the beginning of the game without anyone knowing(however most of the time this doesn't work against good players, but works well with noobs).

Getting the turbos of people who crashed into your line is an interesting idea. Certainly easier to implement than a packet of turbos that needs to be picked up after somebody crashes. I'll consider...

If you add it, please make it an option. Not a thing for all games.

Also, I think it would be better that the limit was 3. So if you still have 3 when someone crashes into your line, you don't gain any more. someone with 9 turbos total could do some damage ^.

RE: Tout's request for strategies.

Some other players have requested that I give them some tips. I would be happy to do so, because better players playing against simply improve my proficiency, so I don't really view it as negative competition.

I'm going to dig up a tournament video and post it to Youtube when I get the chance. Please be patient as I have a busy schedule; I know a lot of you want to be better players. I had one player tell me that he had watched ALL my videos; it reminded me of an old Bruce Lee movie where his opponent said, "I know all you tricks, now I beat you to pulp!" LOL.

I do know a couple "tricks," which I think most pros are familiar with, but am very reluctant to post them, as newbies will simply use the same strategy ad nauseum and this spoils the spontaneity of the game. I myself could use these tricks against newbies for 100 games straight and they would never catch on while I would win nearly every game. But what is the point? That is simply like being a robot.

Yeah I know, that's what Lightnub said "not saying our secrets" :-) but as I said, it's not about what you know but how you use it. Everyone knows that painting is important, but not everyone can do a perfect painting.

Well, as I see, not too many noobs are interested in the "tip of the week" idea... Too bad, they wouldn't be too useful for pros so it was supposed to help noobs :-)

And tits, lol, you're Bruce Lee thingy was funny, and we need to train this weekend, I'll be on in the morning: 9:00-12:00 (I live in L-A) GMT-8.
