Posted: Sat May 11, 2019 6:47 pm
Black Diamond: 8 speed / 6 traction / 2 torque / 5 weapon / 9 armour
vs.
Terminating Cutter Gen III: 4 speed / 3 traction / 1 torque / 7 armour - horizontal configuration
Alright, I have a 10-6 speed advantage and he has significant weapon torque to fight while turning. I'm easily fast enough to box rush him and there's nothing to stop me from pulling it off. I also have a 5 power flipper and there are four OOTA corners. Add to that the fact that he's only doing three damage to my plow and - much as I hate to say it - my main job appears to be "just don't fuck up and die".
Watch out for dodges, feints, weapon torque turns, etc. He's going to be trying to get past my plow. Ultimately, though, come howling out of my starting circle in a box rush. Bully him into corners and toss him out of bounds. Keep this pretty straightforward for the most part, breaking his fist with my face. There's no need to risk oversteering in a fight where I have the armour to tank him, the speed to smother him, and the weapon to end this early. In general, use my speed to chain flips and to harry and smother him. His blade should be hitting the floor a good amount, tearing up wood and causing him to gyrodance. Go full aggro and get him out of the arena as soon as possible, but don't do anything over-the-top reckless.
GL, my dude, and congrats on your rookie campaign. Maybe it hasn't been a record-beater so far, but you've already shown a lot of improvement. I look forward to whatever you'll do next.
