So, a Britflipper with a control advantage and an OOTA capability and an arena with an OOTA zone…? Oooooh boy!
Immediately, I want to avoid the ‘Gulag’ OOTA zone of this arena. Problem is, that our starting squares flank this area. Even if I ‘book it’ out of my square to the other end of the arena, BD will likely be gonna come screaming around the corner to come meet me with his 11 plow/lifter. He has the speed/control advantage, after all. But I have my 15 weapon, and it’s gonna hurt no matter where I hit him, and I will turn into and meet his plow directly. I may gyro out of control, but I will hit *hard*. I just hope to be away from that damn Gulag when I do, and even than, with 5 power on the flipper, it’ll still take a fairly lucky hit to OOTA me. Even then, I’m taking the chance here, rather than just ‘running for it’.
I have SIX damage over him anywhere other than his flipper. Any more than a ‘few’ hits should net me a KO, should I get a hit in those areas, especially the wheels!
No, I rather get to the ‘open end’ of the arena and play there. I’ll go and directly hit BD and do 4 damage to the plow, but in my ensuing recoil, I might just catch a wheel, or more? My reach could very well do so!
If that happens, I expect BD to survive some hits (hey, I know who I’m dealing with) and might get shoved into the hazards. Well, the most that they can do (Stalin’s Hammer) is 2 damage...not enough to be effective enough on me. So, if in the event I come into contact with them or the hammers, or the walls, for that matter-slightly power down and get away from the walls, then get the weapon back to full speed. Hopefully, I can also catch BD while it’s recoiling or in a moment of uncontrollability and get a lucky shot on the non-bonused chassis.
Again, do what I must to avoid the OOTA zone while not leaving myself totally vulnerable to BD. And, try to keep DM under control as much as possible.
GL, Alex!
