Hypothetical Best Trick Standoff Situations

bigdirtyfoot · Post by **bigdirtyfoot** » 03 Jul 2004 06:53

I forgot to include my choices:

B>A>C

I thought B was the clear choice, but I dunno. I liked A for style and was hoping some people might choose it over B, but I doubt that'll happen, heh. And C... I was thinking about the different components (symposium, paradox) that are in this that aren't in the other combos. Ah snap I should've made C with a Terraging Clipper. Oh well. I'm just pretty novice to making these sick 3's and I thought I'd give it a try.

From someone who is beginning to approach the playing level of B leaving, A and C... B is the definite winner. All of the moves in B are so much harder than any of the ones in A and C, same with the links. Not only is the drifter a drifter, it's paradox. Swirls are swirls and I imagine pretty hard to pick up. Blenders as well include learning whirls then following them up with an osis. All of the moves in the others are fairly low key moves that people can learn relatively quickly, at least imho.

Alright I'm attempting to revive this again. So... with Jorden's new video, I'm taking the two tricks from there and asking which one should win a big trick contest:

Floatation -
toe > no plant while op in [dex][smp] > op in [dex][xdex] (I assume)] >> op out [dex] > op clip [del][xbd]

Hellraiser -
clip > op in [dex] >> duck [bod] > op in [dex][pdx] > no plant while op in [dex][smp] > op toe [del]

does Hellraiser = Stepping Ducking Voodoo?
if so then it wins fo shizzle

such a badass move... and badass name!

just a sidenote, i think that there isnt a [SMP] add for symposium moves, its just a [BOD] add and the symposium part is implied by 'No plant while'
nitpicking i know... im bored

Ya, Ian fo shizzle called the fo. Word on the street has it that homie ain't packin. Meet that sucka in the alley and he'd pop a cap in his ass. It's all bling bling in the motha.

Translation:

I agree with Ian. Hellraiser

No comparison, Floating butterfly is tough, god knows, but Hellraiser is like....

How about:

A: Surgery > Torch R Rack > Venom

B: Chainsaw Massacre > Fairy Tripstein > Peaking Torque

C: Inspinning Symp. Torque > Marius > Green Eggs and Ham

Alright, I'll bite. I didn't know what Surgery, Chainsaw Massacre, and Peaking Torque were though!

So... I keep looking at them and no matter what, I'm having a hard time placing one of these in a 3rd place position.

I'll say...

B>C>A

That's too hard. Someone else post and tell me why I'm wrong, haha.

this is getting out of hand. For me A = B = C. Anyone hits any of these combos and they deserve to win.

Maraxus · Post by **Maraxus** » 10 Aug 2004 08:28

My question relates more to your opinions of the hardest combination, I'm well aware they are extremely difficult.

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » 10 Aug 2004 14:43

c, b, a

C has the hardest links, B has the hardest moves and A is just hard.

Another more intermediate one:

A) Ripwalk>Blurry Far Guay>Paste(Set from inside, yeah I know)
B) Zoid Flying Butterfly>Paradox Mirage>Terrage

nice choice of combos!
I'd say they're a pretty close call although I'll vote A. Inside set pixie is cool!

sPinko-Mania · Post by **sPinko-Mania** » 18 Aug 2004 16:04

A - I have a good pixie but inside pixies are just hard

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » 18 Aug 2004 21:49

I'm going to go with B for it's style!! Zoid flying butterfly sounds like a cool move - especially since it would probably involve either symposium butterflyer or zoid set. Also terrage is cool!

A is also just shuffle combos, with the only extra style being the inside set. I don't find inside set pixies incredibly hard - kind of like a quantum set and if you're doing a low quick dex afterwards it makes it easier.

Both are great combos though!

I'm just glad that finally in this thread for one time my combos didn't suck, haha. Usually everyone's like "A... omglolz this one is DUMB."

But anyways, that's cool... I'll give this a few more days to collect more opinions and then I'll post a new one, or someone else can. I'd like to see more people involved in this...

Hey guys,
I just wanted to say that I hadn't read any of this thread since the first post and I just read through every frigging post through the last nine pages.

Good show chaps, it was a good read.

Ok - the whole point of today's drama's (for me) was this

Alien Vs Predator

(sailing dyno vs atomic dlo)

Air · Post by **Air** » 15 Oct 2004 04:19

I say Predator.

Muffinman · Post by **Muffinman** » 15 Oct 2004 08:43

Why is sailing dyno called alien???
Predator is way cooler.
