Games The 14th EUC Starfighter Draft: Backdraft

don't really see how the OQ one could really be seen as a good on...

 

Me either since Ooryl wins many more times than not.

 

Fortunate #4

Sparkly Vampire Division:

Demon Squids (Name Courtesy of Jello Enteprises LTD) vs 725th Imperial Fighter Group (0-1)

Nien Nunb trumped with Ten Numb trumped with Aril Nunb vs Narra

Winner: Trump

Sexy Werewolf Division:

Snootchie Bootchies vs The Confused Mynocks (1-0)

Plo Koon trumped with Obi-wan Kenobi vs Maarek Stele

Winner: I'm gonna say trump on this one. The trump is cohesive, both are Jedi so that takes away part of Stele's advantage. Obi-wan is no chump in a fighter either. I really think the two of them could work together to take out Stele.

 

yea, if wedge, the baron or luke could bust this trump stele should be doing the same.

 

Good thing a lot of the stuff in your mind makes no sense when, like, looked at critically.


EDIT: Whatchoo talkin' bout Trim, that trump was just for this match, it couldn't have been busted before. And Luke wouldn't do that, he's on my team and loves Kenobi too much.

 

yea, if they were flying against him and trying to kill them, luke not only could, but would bust that trump.

but i suppose could would be a lot better word to use than would. and those people could bust that trump, and stele is same level skillwise. he's not the leader of the other first rounders, only reason he doesn't go as high as he should.

 

Ohs Noes! It's Jedi Pilots! And one is a creepy-looking alien.



Agree with 'sey.


I like Stele. He's good. He aint busting that trump.

 

we'll just have to disagree on that one inty. i'd definitely have been arguing a lot harder were it my match.

 

Slick #7

Sparkly Vampire Division:

Demon Squids (Name Courtesy of Jello Enteprises LTD) vs 725th Imperial Fighter Group (1-1)

Derek "Hobbie" Klivian vs Atril Tabianne and Falynn Sanskimmer

Winner: Hobbie can take these two

Sexy Werewolf Division:

Snootchie Bootchies vs The Confused Mynocks (2-0)

Dak Ralter trumped with Dash Rendar vs Gavin Darklighter

Winner: My gut says that Gavin can pull off the victory here.

 

Whoa deja vu guys, didn't I just read this in the Arena?

 

Agree w/Sey...btw I would have voted Stele.

 

I would go the other way and say that Stele's ability to use the force to amplify his far greater skill neutralizes the crutch (I mean the Force) that Kenobi and Koon use.

Stele out-skills both of these guys by a longshot, has experience that neither guy could hope to match, and his ability to use the Force is tailor made for being used while in a dogfight.

 

*looks at former team* hmmm... don't think i really have anything against jedi pilots... soooooooo... it must be that i just think the merits of kenobi and plo koon, even combined, don't even pretend to touch on stele.

 

Really, Jello? Really?

You feel free to offer your own comments about another match, but avoid backing up your own claims with the argument that it's "just between" you, your opponent, and the judges? Nice. You know I'd be more than happy to respond to what you just wrote if I didn't think you'd waste my ****ing time again.

 

must THAT be brought up again?

 

SFD. Serious. Business.

Guys, this is entirely unnecessary. Jello I will sim your team for the next round if you beat Typo. He's not really around either so its not like if there is an argument that you're going to miss anything.

KK - Jello made it perfectly clear that he wasn't trying to overturn the results. I don't think Stele can take down those two no matter what anyone says and Inty has always been a stickler for not allowing people to bust trumps so easily so I think you're safe on us not changing our minds.

The commish says for everyone to keep your personal issues out of my draft.

 

Thanks for being open minded...I guess that confirms my growing suspicion that arguments and a laundry list of superior feats really don't matter in this draft.

 

Look, I'm always open to arguments. If I wasn't this draft would go a heckuva lot faster, because I wouldn't wait on arguments.

But, let's look at this match. I'm not shutting out the pro-Stele argument. I know how good Stele is. But, this draft has long had a bias towards pilots that flew between Yavin and the NJO. Why? Because when the draft was formed, the best material we had was for that era. We hadn't fully flushed out the Clone Wars era. All we had to go on was the movies, and not even all three of them!

Now that Clone Wars material is becoming prevalent, it's time to admit some of these Prequel era folks have feats and reputations to match (and sometimes surpass) the later-era pilots. When someone is praised by or compared to a Wedge or a Tycho, we take that as high praise and elevate their stock accordingly. But, when someone is praised by or compared to Anakin Skyalker, it's still discounted.

So, to recap, I'm not discounting Stele. He's wonderful. He's awesome. He's on par with the best of the best. But (and this is coming form someone who has a rule that simply says "Plo Koon sucks"), Plo Koon is a very good pilot. Obi-Wan has seen plenty of action as well. Either of them? No match for Stele. He takes them down. But, it's not so simple that Stele simple can vape either of them. Especially considering they'll fly quite well together.

 

I had a few thoughts typed out, but it really doesn't matter what I think.

Go ahead and get this over with.

 

CAUSE ROGUE SQUADRON IS ******* AWESOME, THATS WHY.


Or at least that seems to be the reasoning for a lot of votes.
