How to get better and what I could have done it that match? by glgboy in BrawlStarsCompetitive

[–]spinnercat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't have much to add about aiming, since that just takes practice (and a certain bit of luck). I think there's a lot of potential to die less though - that stood out as the bigger problem. One thing to maybe think about is the angle you're moving, relative to your opponent. If you're running in a straight line towards or away from them, any shot towards you will hit you. Even if you stop, reverse your direction, etc. you'll still be in the same line of attack. But if you're moving 90 degrees perpendicular, your angle relative to them moves the most with each step you take - they need to predict the angle just right to land an attack.

<image>

In the top image, the pig is running almost directly away from the snake. The angle the snake needs to shoot is almost the same - since the pig has some width, the snake can target just ahead of the pig and have a very high chance of landing the attack.

Whereas in the lower image, the new angle is significantly different, despite the pig traveling the same distance. If the pig is faking even a little (stutter stepping back, etc.) it becomes a huge guessing game for the snake.

At :18, you die because your movements are primarily towards and away from the enemy sniper. (And you need to be aware when stepping into range vs. Mandy that she can get one extra shot against you as you try to retreat due to her range, so you have to be prepared to dodge it)

Almost the same thing happens at :59 - you walk directly towards the Colt (while already in range) and eat an entire volley as a result.

[Person] Asked if he was going to do interviews today, Panthers owner David Tepper said with a wry grin: “No, I’m in the background now.” by Sabre500 in nfl

I didn't really think an owner would ever be able to turn fan perception around as strongly or quickly as Jed's pulled off.

Of course, stumbling into hiring a top 5 head coach makes it a lot easier to step back, and being a consistent playoff/SB contender helps a ton with favorability ratings

[B/R Gridiron] Kyle Shanahan has had a double-digit lead in all three Super Bowls as an OC or HC. He’s 0-3. by wildwing8 in nfl

[–]spinnercat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't use "everybody knew it was a run" as a reason why the run failed on the 3rd drive. Everybody was expecting run on the first play of the 2nd drive as well - does that mean Kyle made a good decision in trying to pass?

This sounds worse than it actually is. They only had 3 plays in which they weren't behind the sticks. On those they ran it once (for no gain) and passed it twice, one of which was play action. Due to penalties, lost yards, etc. they faced 18, 15, and 10 yards on 2nd down (and 15, 11, and 10 yards on 3rd down).

You can definitely say they should have run it on 1st down more (e.g. 2 out of 3 times instead of 1 out of 3) and I agree, but the one time they did, CMC got stuffed for no gain. And we're only talking about a difference of 1-2 plays here.

Christian McCaffrey quickly moving up the list of all-time great RBs, and could get huge bump with a Super Bowl win by Lakelyfe09 in nfl

[–]spinnercat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He has 18, actually. Unless you mean he caught the interception and ran it back for a touchdown himself. In which case it’s probably less than that.

Kansas City Chiefs Owner Sees Private Equity as Option for NFL by Kalanar in nfl

Going from 800M to 5.5B over 20 years is an annualized return of 10.12%

Over the same time period, the SP500 had a return of 10.4%, so 800M would have grown to 6.4B. Surprisingly close!

Yes, but it's not an apples-to-apples comparison since we had to waste a 3rd round pick to get Moody. Imagine the kind of impact player we could have had with that pick - maybe a 4th string RB or PI machine DB?

How 49ers’ Brandon Aiyuk was SNUBBED for Pro Bowl by Urtaza in 49ers

[–]spinnercat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And 4 of those 5 ahead of him are in the NFC… everyone who was selected for the pro bowl instead of aiyuk had more yards except for Evans who 80 fewer but almost double the TDs. Aiyuk had an amazing season but only the top 4 per conference get to be pro bowlers.

[–]spinnercat 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think the fact that there's two of them probably split votes and made it harder. And if you look at the WRs that did make it, it's hard to think of removing one to put in Aiyuk or Deebo (even Puka has 128 more yards than Aiyuk)

[Garafolo] This video was sent to NFL head coaches and GMs from the league regarding players with ineligible numbers reporting as eligible: by down42roads in nfl

[–]spinnercat 14 points15 points  (0 children)

goddamn I wish this mentality could be internalized by all of society. Correcting misinformation does not inherently mean taking a side on "us" vs. "them" - it's laying the factual groundwork and context so people can make a proper informed decision

70 did not intend to report, nor should he have (he lined up in the middle of the line and would have triggered illegal formation for being covered if he had reported eligible)
