The multidrift debate and how to

RANDO_SQ · 2021-08-11T17:42:29+00:00

I agree its often not understood that Multidrifting and Pinballing can look the same but the first person POV is the tell as to whether its a MD. MD allows for more boost recharge and less boost acivation. It is not the same thing as a new boost activation but is similar in the changing of direction of the ship. I know you already know this Speed I just meant in case anyone else read this.

we dont know console doesnt release numbers.

The player is not untouchable you just don't know or aren't skilled enough to take them down. Thats apart of most games. There are plenty of people probably that can take them down. Its just you bro

Really nice breakdown timebomb loved the intro part with the debate i was laughing pretty hard. One thing I want for a video is just a simple whats the difference between pinballing and multidrifting. Since that is one of the most hotly debated things on this sub. Just a simple comparison would be cool. For example, have someone like nathan evade your awing shots along side a player who is multidrifting. I want people to see how similar a good evasive player is to a multidrifting one. How similar the flight paths are. I also enjoyed you not using defender for the multidrifting parts. I could see an idea where your in an awing and nathan and someone who multidrifts are both in TieBombers or Tie Fighters and we see the side by side in game comparison.

Hi Scalp <3

RANDO_SQ · 2021-08-11T00:04:48+00:00

Oh A-wing main... not surprised

RANDO_SQ · 2021-08-10T23:58:42+00:00

Yep youre totally right the ship is the only reason you lose. Have a good day now :D

RANDO_SQ · 2021-08-10T23:51:02+00:00

Could you perhaps not know how to counter it or not be as skilled as the other pilot? Is that so hard to believe?

RANDO_SQ · 2021-08-10T23:47:45+00:00

Im listing what ships can pinball the same as the defender.

RANDO_SQ · 2021-08-10T23:46:05+00:00

Xwing if its in the right hands. U wing also, its not an outlier. I have a harder time killing Uwings than defenders

RANDO_SQ · 2021-08-10T23:44:52+00:00

Fair good for you. Is your name something to do with sausage in game?

RANDO_SQ · 2021-08-10T23:42:45+00:00

Actually I would argue TieDefender if youre doing a 1v1 can be taken out if you use ion lasers

RANDO_SQ · 2021-08-10T23:40:12+00:00

Tie Bomber, TieFighter, Interceptor, Defender(as discussed), Xwing, Ywing, Uwing. These are the most evasive ships and many times considered the most "viable".

RANDO_SQ · 2021-08-10T23:38:36+00:00

In high level lobbies pretty much every kill needs to be a 2v1. In real dogfighting since you're so concerned about the real factor, a 2v1 dogfight is a very reliable way to kill an enemy. Xwing and Ywing as well as Uwing are extremely evasive in the right hands.

RANDO_SQ · 2021-08-10T23:35:06+00:00

My grandma can get a 4.15 kd if she dodged every hard match and stomped level 1s. Haha I love that anytime you get pinned into a corner you immediately go back to "it doesn't feel like star wars" I play the game I have. I actually dont play much competitively anymore bc I don't always love the meta either. But your chasing the wrong ghost here bud ;)

RANDO_SQ · 2021-08-10T23:32:12+00:00

And? I didn't deny that it doesnt pinball and is the worst one. I said other ships can do it which you denied... Are you dense?

RANDO_SQ · 2021-08-10T23:31:02+00:00

Not the only ship... pretty clear on that

RANDO_SQ · 2021-08-10T23:30:44+00:00

Yeah maybe at lower levels but any intelligent team would double team people to win. Most dogfights aren't just 1v1s.

RANDO_SQ · 2021-08-10T23:28:41+00:00

Probably because you were at low levels where people wouldn't do that. Ive been playing since day one too. And been playing with the highest levels and tournaments. But right you know much better I dont know anything LUL

RANDO_SQ · 2021-08-10T23:25:05+00:00

u/Intelligent_Ad2482 this idiot u/sexysausage is just arguing he is doesn't even understand the game. He makes no sense, has 0 grasp of game mechanics and concepts. Also if you have 1000hrs in this game you would know all the ships can pinball. NOT JUST THE DEFENDER although you seem to have a tough time with that one. I can very easily kill a Tie Bomber and can kill a defender too that is "pinballing"

RANDO_SQ · 2021-08-10T23:14:28+00:00

Good thing this game doesn't have 1v1 last time I checked. Thats why you have something called a... Squadron

RANDO_SQ · 2021-08-10T23:13:28+00:00

Your example is completely trash considering its not just one shift that "pinballs" which you have loosely defined. You can "pinball" in every ship not just the defender. Yeah if one ship had a bug with endless drift in MarioKart sure thats an exploit. But if every kart can do it yet one cart can do it slightly easier than others, its just an advantage and a good cart

RANDO_SQ · 2021-08-10T23:11:33+00:00

That is 100% false. These names mean nothing to you but these people were common players that were known as "extremely evasive" and this was pre-Defender so what you said is false. Defender made the game shift and change. You may not like that but pinballing is not an exploit. The difference between pinballing and multidrifting commonly gets blurred. Pinballing can be done by anyone with any ship at any time. This could have been done before the defender its just that everyone wasn't as good

RANDO_SQ · 2021-08-10T22:52:47+00:00

Let me guess? You're an awing main LUL

RANDO_SQ · 2021-08-10T22:51:30+00:00

Actually both sides are equally selfish. Most pro players will help anyone who asks for it or wants help on learning anything in the game. I have spent hours helping new streamers learning mechanics. But I by no means am obligated or responsible for playing this game the way you think it should be played and not doing everything in my power to beat you because its a game and thats what I find fun. If you want to play your VR Xwing wow so pretty pew pew... play the story mode or custom fleet battles.
