I think that your analysis of duels is flawed. I say this because there is no reason to believe that, when reversing the ranks of 2 duelists, the moves they selected would have been the same sans fancy. I admitted to this in the post. I don’t think they’re conclusive at all. Using the rank reversal...

I’m going to hit up some of the early posts I didn’t get to yet that I wanted to, but first… “Lastly, it's also been mentioned that there's been a lack of 'newcomer' opinions thus far. In part, that's because there aren't too many truly "new" DoF players of late (there are some, but there ...

More practice duels. I think the focus on Glass vs Emerald has taken over too much of this thread, so I decided to practice with Candy as Glass vs Glass. Me ( Glass ) / Candy ( Glass ) Dodge / Jab - +0-0 ADV Me Jab / Chop - 1-1 Jumpkick / Sweep - 1-1 Duck / Dodge - 1-1 Dodge / Sweep - 1-2 Candy Arm...

... I don't share your pessimism that it wouldn't make it easier for new duelists. Skepticism. Not pessimism. I'll certainly defer to actual beginners stating their opinions. (As you noted, even when dueling with Glass characters, we're not actually Glass duelers.) My feeling is they won't find the...

I think it adds a level of complexity that *doesn't* make the game easier for beginners. I can envision duelers like Harris, Candy, Seirichi, Matt, Kheldar, or me mastering floating advs quickly, and beginners getting frustrated with this even more complex Adv they don't understand, and don't seem ...

Do they carry over with an offensive hit? They don't carry over *through* a hit. Just until a hit. (Or that's what IFL rules were.) So... Dodge - Jab +-0 Duck - Dodge +-0 Jab - LegSweep 1-0 If you OR your opponent scored, the Adv went away. Do you think there's any merit to the other version I sugg...

Another Duel using the ADV Carry. This time against Velhelmi. Velhelmi ( Glass ) Me ( Emerald ) Jab / Fancy Dodge - 1 Me Snapkick / Feint Jumpkick - 1 Me Jab / Feint Flip - 1 Me Leap / Jab - 2 Me Sweep / Sweep - 1-3 Me Dodge / Jab - +1-3 Me Leap / Dodge - +1-3 Me Legblock / Feint Flip - +1-3 Me Jab...

Like Jake said, there's a lot to go through. I'm only going to pick out one thing since my time at the moment is short. First, thank you for the time and thought you've put in, Velhelmi-player; I'm glad you did so! Let's look at IFL - the Iron Fists League (for those of you not familiar with it, th...

I contend that there wide chasm between Glass and Emerald. I will share with you the problems as I see them and give some suggestions in the hopes of bring up a discussion. If the most common complaint is “Why do you use mods against new people?” My concern is not the ranked using mods, but rather t...

This is why reading the forums is such an important part of gaming! :D Gotta forgive me man, there are far more events today than what I was used to yesteryear. I'm not used to having to look at the forums to see if something odd is going on, that's all. I'll get used to it. Today I lost a rank and...

So... I was busy the past couple days (was not hiding as an alt), didn't see the announcement as I hadn't visited the forums while away and came into duel with my newly activated Warlord. I've been dueling the past month as Commoner and Swordsman so I wanted to regain that feel for having fancies as...

DoS and DoF have different rules. I don't see the evidence of this. It is entirely possible that I'm just missing it, but I see nothing in the DoF Game Guide or DoF Rules of Rank that speaks at all to how a duel is won. As such, I think one has to fall back to the generic "The Duels" page...

A little confusion last night that I hope can be cleared up. Here's the setup: A couple of nights ago at DoF, I watched a fight where Charles Blackstone "tied" his match 4-3 in 15 rounds. If recollection serves, initially it was called a win, the caller went to ask specifically for a rulin...

I had literally just copy pasted that stuff from the other thread to start this one too heh. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slPCq_jq8Is Anyway that was the vid that started this whole thing. Ryron and Rener are the truth and do a great job of breaking down the grappling aspect of most major MMA fig...

Thanks for leaving my name off of there so no one would know that it was me who was humiliated. I love how on another post I wrote a long dramatic passage about wanting to win every match 5-0 in five and a week later you go and smack me down to humble me. But you didn't leave me humble enough where ...
