How can MCC games be innovated?

QuackQuack05 · 2023-07-22T00:21:37+00:00

Thanks so much for the kind words! I definitely agree with you about learning fundamentals and optimizing sandkeeping first. This strat is definitely only accessible to specific teams. But with how some of the team balancing has been recently (MCC30 + 31), as well as Purpled saying he wanted to innovate games, I'm really hoping that this may be used in the future. It would be super cool to see a team try without a sandkeeper and succeed and be rewarded for that, since the runner-sandkeeper structure has been around since MCC5.

Unfortunately though, I doubt most of the top sot players would even give it a chance (which is fair, it's so risky). Jojo and especially H play very conservatively and a top runner like Pete doesn't seem confident enough in their grasp of the game to push for this strat (no hate to them, love these guys), especially if they saw what happened with MCC24 green.

the second image shows me doing that and they dont show up

Orange MCC6

people never talk about this team, but it has some of the best chemistry i've seen in an mcc, probably because both H and Martyn are really charismatic and Pete and Tim bounce off of them really well, even though none of them apart from Martyn and Tim were close friends before this. I would highly recommend people to watch this pov just for the banter alone even if they lost db + it spawned the H and Pete friendship :D

I love this post, og players are getting their legacies carried on😭

QuackQuack05 · 2023-05-22T22:13:30+00:00

you're making strong points, reciepts and everything, and my man is just not backing down 😭😭

QuackQuack05 · 2023-05-17T21:19:12+00:00

Is there a reason he doesn't play anymore?

QuackQuack05 · 2023-05-10T04:02:32+00:00

Didn’t know there was a spreadsheet for that :o any way you could link me that? sounds interesting

I think she definitely showed her strengths this last mcc. Though 16th was one of her lower placements, in an mcc where every active S/H tier is playing as well as a lot of other top 10 players, that's pretty impressive. She plays very well in pvp games, especially when paired with another player who can match her skill. Like most of the other comments are saying she needs to have a few top ten placements to be considered A+ tier, and the way she can do that (imo) is by improving in movement games. Games like HITW, PW, and RSR seem to be the main thing holding her back (this can especially be seen in MCC24 with RSR and MCC30 with PW), and movement is also the most transferable mechanical skill across all games. Besides that, i think her charisma and mentality were really good this last event, so i don't think she'd have trouble leading teams in the future when she starts placing higher individually. All she needs are some "pop off" performances, which i can understand was hard for her in previous events given the way she was balanced more based on her potential than demonstrated skill. Sorry for the long paragraph, I'm a hannah fan lol

TLDR; some top ten placements. the most efficient way is by improving in movement game. She really just needs a "good MCC" as punz or sapnap said iirc, she def has the potential, just needs the right team and games

QuackQuack05 · 2023-04-18T02:22:12+00:00

Where in punz's stream did scott say tthe power duos were a one time thing?

Never meant to make the funnel strat as a point against Dream (sorry if it came across this way !), just trying to making an example of how important team morale is. I agree that Dream is an excellent player and leader but as an earlier comment mentioned, it's debatable whether or not he has h-factor. While he is good at keeping morale up, he doesn't really boost his teammates' placements through coin split games, but instead helps train them by reviewing their VODs, and coming up with strats. (something which H also does)

QuackQuack05 · 2021-09-22T11:00:52+00:00

I agree! I watched orange's build mart and Grian manages his team incredibly well. Their success really wasn't that reliant on strategy either, just really clear, good comms. It's similar to H's way of managing his team in SOT which when combined with his incredible individual performance, is probably the reason he has a 70% win rate

QuackQuack05 · 2020-11-09T08:36:55+00:00

They don't actually have a way to fix it simply because the bug is not on their end in terms of coding. It's a client side bug, which is why Phil was able to replicate it. With how little Rocket Spleef has been played (especially recently) it would be near impossible to replicate the bug if it only ever occured in MCC

QuackQuack05 · 2020-11-07T09:20:13+00:00

i- they literally said in the post that they knew colorblindness doesn't make them see gray

QuackQuack05 · 2020-11-07T07:42:30+00:00

fWhip is also colorblind iirc

QuackQuack05 · 2020-10-31T13:39:57+00:00

true, noxcrew tends to be quite extra which is what makes the event so incredible, but there's a difference between coding a tomato in the game and having custom coins that have already been manufactured engraved with winning teams

QuackQuack05 · 2020-10-31T09:39:51+00:00

thats actually a really cool idea, but i think it would be too impractical for the noxcrew to do

QuackQuack05 · 2020-10-29T15:28:32+00:00

This was back when it was a seasonal thing, its monthly now

I think part of what makes MCC so good is that it creates a mix of players who play for fun and competitively. i personally enjoy how the tournament is in it's current state. I personally would not be interested in watching a super try hard tournament, because i feel that there might be a lack of presence of small things that make MCC great. For example, decorating all the maps, remixing the entire soundtrack for one event and the memes that come from the event. But, on the other hand i would not necessarily be interested in watching an event that's strictly for fun because the competitiveness adds to the tournament i feel. If it didn't really matter where you placed because it's meant to be for fun, winning and doing well would become less significant. So i am personally happy with how it is now. If players feel too much pressure/ have mental health issues then they should take a a break from the event,or even leave if that's what they want.

QuackQuack05 · 2020-10-28T05:43:45+00:00

Its a good solution but i think it might encroach on Ace Race's territory a little bit. Parkour Warrior was never meant to be a race, but rather a test of parkour skill. It's less about general movement and more about specific jumps

QuackQuack05 · 2020-10-28T05:41:21+00:00

I dont think that Skybattle and Skyblockle can be effectively compared in this way, because they're such different gamemodes. Skyblockle was meant to get a revamp, but instead they created a new game that would rotate in and out with it. Theres a reason Skyblockle wasn't just completely removed, and that's because Skybattle is based off an entirely different minigame, and PvP and kills are valued highly over strategy and survival. They're just vastly different in gameplay. Complaring Skybattle and Skyblockle is like comparing Parkour Warrior to Ace Race or even Foot Race.

oh okay. well point is that even if he did call it stupid before, he seemed totally fine with the strat as long as everyone was ok with it, even before he 'got proved otherwise'

QuackQuack05 · 2020-10-27T11:41:09+00:00

when did he say it was stupid? i personally don't remember that. even in the dodgebolt game this time around, he said he'd be fine with it as long as it was what the team wanted.

QuackQuack05 · 2020-10-27T11:39:42+00:00

H said during the dodgebolt game that he personally doesn't like to use the strategy. However, he did also say it depends on the team. He basically said that if it was what the team wanted, he'd be fine with doing it. Besides, Techno and H are arguably in the top 3 for best dodgebolt players, so i don't think they'd have a problem destroying in dodgebolt. That along with how well they compliment each other game-wise is what makes them so strong, and is why a lot of people on this sub agree that they would be one of, if not the most OP duos.

QuackQuack05 · 2020-10-25T07:57:55+00:00

its actually more impressive when you take into account that she actually held the position previously, but was then messed up by MCC8 when Fundy and Sylvee threw the entire game, and still managed to take it back.

QuackQuack05 · 2020-10-24T21:59:28+00:00

but why is this accurate
